Schools from Finland, Estonia, Greece, Spain and Denmark have worked together in the project “Social Media as a tool for Inclusion” (SoMeIn) coordinated by Langelinieskolen, Denmark (Charlotte Rørbøl). This strategic partnership for schools, created in the framework of the Erasmus + KA201 programme focused its attention on a series of relevant issues affecting education institutions today and concerning both teachers and learners. We have shared our best practices in the fields of social media and inclusion from each of our schools to learn from each other and made a common information campaign. Although we are from schools across Europe we have shared the same problem with exclusion in social media and felt that there was a lack of knowledge, awareness and teaching materials in this field. It is a field that is undergoing a rapid development. GDPR was implemented just before the start of the project and technological opportunities are constantly changing. We share the belief that social media can also include people for instance the previously excluded living in remote areas, being disabled etc. The objective of the project was to develop a way to make social media a tool for inclusion in schools. We made the students participate actively in the making of the materials to give them a sense of ownership to the material and include their experiences. A limited number of teachers and students participated in the project by taking part in the mobilities, but a much larger number took part by participating in the online collaborative activities for instance in the eTwinning project. The TwinSpace of the eTwinning project functioned as a “model social media” where students and teachers could interact online in a secure environment. Dissemination has taken part throughout the project. We have a blog SoMeInErasmus.blogspot.com that have reached an audience beyond Europe but we have also appeared in newspaper articles and done dissemination in national conferences, school assemblies an by visiting to local authorities. And of course in social media like Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. The results were collected in the blog SoMeInErasmus.blogspot.com. The project lead to Langelinieskolen applying for and being accepted as an eTwinning school. This is a longterm result as it means that it is now embedded in the school strategy to do online cooperation between students and teachers at a European level in the years to come.

"STEAM education is an educational approach that includes the teaching of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in an integrated manner and covers the whole process from pre-school to higher education. With the help of this approach, students learn to use the knowledge they have gathered in lessons in daily life. Thanks to the trainings carried out with STEAM, the information that the students learn become more permanent. Also, with the help of STEAM studies, students love lessons more and understand better.We will have contributed greatly to the achievement of the goal of ""lowering the 15% failure rate in the 15 years age group in reading, mathematics and science"" which is among the targets of the European Union 2020. In the vision of MEB 2023 prepared by our country, it is also desired to relate activities such as mathematics, science, social and arts with daily life.Art has existed before oral communication tools used by people. Art; It conveys information to people about history, people and nature and communicates with them. The emotions interpreted in the human mind are shaped by matter, sound and words, and a pile of stones turns into a meaningful object; musical notes turn into nice songs; various paints turn into a beautiful painting and gain an artistic interpretation. Thanks to the project, the science in art will become more understandable.Webinar meetings will be held through the e-Twinning portal with the partners in the project prepared. In addition, a Whatsapp group with participants will be organized. Project coordinators selected from the project teams will be added to this group. Thanks to the group to be established, there will be an opportunity to constantly communicate with the partners. There will be regular information on the implementation of the project and the mobility to be carried out. Partners with little project experience will be assisted by WhatsApp groups.For the participants to adapt the destination county and not to have difficulties there, a ‘Country Promotion Meeting’ will be held. In these meetings, information will be given on subjects such as language, living conditions, weather, places to visit and transportation opportunities in the destination country. In this way, we will accelerate the adaptation processes of the participants.- In case of situations such as health or loss of baggage that may occur abroad, all project partners will receive 30 000 Euro travel insurance.- In order to ensure that the participants do not experience any language problems in the destination country, a 60-hour foreign language course will be given. A booklet containing mostly used phrases in daily life in the destination country will be distributed to the participant teachers and students.-Badges will be prepared for each participant student and teacher. In order to prevent problems such as passport loss in countries where mobility activities will occur, the embassies' number will be written on the badges.Within the scope of the mobility, a pre-test and post-test will be applied for the participants. In this way, it will be measured whether each participant has reached the intended goals within the scope of the planned activities. As a result of the tests, the development and evaluation of the mobility will be provided.After the mobility to be organized, school counseling services will observe the progress of the students participating in the project. Following the mobility activities, the participating students’ academic success, social life, and friend relationships will be observed. These observations will be reported. Teachers of each project partner will transfer the achievements they gathered abroad in their country. After the mobility, each project partner teacher will organize a meeting in their country to convey the gains they have made to other school teachers. In this meeting, the gains obtained will be transferred to all school teachers and the project will be made more sustainable.The web page to be prepared in the name of the project will remain accessible for 5 years for the project to develop further and to reach more people. Even after the end of the project, the web page will be updated at regular intervals. This page will guide those who do not have any information and experience about STEAM. The number of visitors to this website will be recorded during this period.Workshops to be held in planned mobility are an important means of gathering and conveying information. STEAM Workshop will be held in all schools, each partner will prepare a project evaluation report and a booklet with pictures and photographs in the countries visited will be made. This booklet will be placed in school libraries. Thanks to this booklet, the results of the project will be used for many years. In addition, the booklet will be sent to students, teachers and parents as an e-book."
