"Myths had come to exist as a need of defining and interpreting the universe, and manifested themselves in various areas such as literature, history, arts, …etc. depending on the evolving human mind. In addition to different myths of particular nations, themes addressed in these myths are the universe, creation of humankind, faith, natural events, good and evil, and customs. Myths became the fundamental parts of culture in time, and they served as the tools for the transference of culture. For that reason, the main theme of our project MythPower is the mythological narratives, legends, and characters, accepted as cultural heritages of humanity. The main aim of this two-year project (2020- 2022) is to build up intercultural collaboration and exchange by combining the “Mythology” theme as a European Cultural Heritage form, with innovative and inclusive educational practices. The most active participants of the project, students are required to think, explore, question, and brainstorm for efficient solutions, with greater understanding of cultural diversity, tolerance, empathy, and synergy. To achieve the project aims, with the coordination of Turkey, schools from Spain, Italy and Greece are to collaborate strategically to perform the project activities. All activities are based on learning-by-doing methods and they are innovative, as well. Mythological Council, Buddy Cafe (a peer teaching method), SOLE (Self-Organized Learning Environment) and creating a digital graphic novel are the main innovative teaching methods to be followed. “Mythological Council” is formed to make students experience democracy “live”. The Council is going to convene for one day in each mobility activity to discuss the concepts social life-culture, traditions, nature and astronomy, the good-evil and war-peace, justice (in order). In that way, students are promoted for developing their entrepreneurship, empathy, creativity, problem solving, cooperation, language and communications skills. Resolutions adopted by students, and put into act by them again are key for the sustainability and dissemination of the project. All the activities planned in the project will contribute for promoting the basic traits of the 21st century skills; namely, creativity, critical thinking/problem solving, communication and cooperation.Students with a motivation to learn innovatively, with interest for diverse cultures, and with a commitment to the requirements of the Learning Agreement are aimed to work with. Their age range is between 14-18. Their level of English will be developed to CEFR B1-B2 level by the school courses to be organized for them, and evaluated by the teachers of English. This support will be organized for the teachers, too. Teachers responsible for the coordination of project activities and guidance for students should have the knowledge and experience required for conducting project activities efficiently. A Learning Agreement prepared for assigning the participant teachers and students will be used as a guide. Six students and two teachers from each partner school will participate in each mobility activity which are four in total. Different participants will possibly take part in each mobility activity. Gender equality will be respected strictly. All activities of the project (councils, workshops, webinars, educational excursions, exhibitions, etc.) including mobility activities and after-mobility activities will be published on the project YouTube channel, Instagram account, and on eTwinning ""MythPower"" project TwinSpace; and Web 2.0 tools with an IT-based approach will support the learning-teaching activities. An e-book with visuals and authentic fictions(a digital graphic novel), including the mythology and myth characters of partner countries will be prepared as the most significant concrete product of the project. The exhibitions to be organized at each partner school for dissemination will support the project visibility.All abstract and concrete outcomes and results on mythology are linked to the social and educational value of European Cultural Heritage; and all activities are linked to promoting the entrepreneurship, creativity, acquisition of skills and competences of students. All project activities contain myths with cultural configurations, and are based on comprehension of cultures; thus they build on students’ cultural knowledge to transform them into European citizens embracing diverse cultures with tolerance and justice in the long term. Longer benefits of the project are converting the participants’ cultures into educational environments, providing awareness for respect to the European Cultural Heritage, valuing and transferring it to the future generations."

Students have instant access to information: virtual libraries, internet information, online connections, and find traditional methods of learning rather an obstacle in their development, than a necessity and a help. We try to reduce the feeling of boredom and lack of interest for school subjects, using digitals in classes. The next need of the project comes out from the first one, as we intend to make our students sensitive and connected to the real-life social issues. Combining students` digital skills used in film making with their wider knowledge and implication in social life, empowered by critical thinking, this project will assure a new educational environment in our schools.Our partnership includes 5 motivated schools. Our project covers 3 essential dimensions - cultural, educational and professional. The project main aim is to improve digital competences and language skills through film-making, urge of approaching social issues, interest in revealing differences and similarities and emphasizing the fundamental values of our society. Our target group of students are 15-18 years old and teachers for English, ICT, social sciences.OBJECTIVES:- to improve ICT skills and digital competence- to increase practical skills related to film-making- to develop students` critical thinking, communication and social skills- to promote intercultural learning through their specific national values- to get students more involved in their community life- to facilitate the exchange of ideas, practices and values between European students- to improve language acquisitions, and the level of using English languageACTIVITIESThere are 4 LLTAs of students and 1 LTTA for teachers. The project’s main topic is divided into 4 sub-topics, all five partner countries having a certain mission to contribute to the final result.C1-TURKEY - DIGITAL AGE AND EDUCATION: Teacher training courseC2-ENGLAND- SHORT FILMS WITH IMPACT: The participating students search ready-made short films, attend workshop on the stages of writing storylines and film-making. They discuss the films’ message.C3- HUNGARY- SHOOTING SHORT FILMS: Students bring two films, and during LLTA, they work in multicultural teams on assigned topics, to write storylines and create a short film.C4- PORTUGAL- EDITING SHORT FILMS: Students improve the films made in previous LLTA, learn to use film editing applications in order to create and edit new films working in teams.C5- ITALY: Each country brings a final film reflecting students` digital competence and civic involvement. Participants create films centered on the European features of each country and put them together under the title Europe Unites Us.NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTSThe large group of total school population includes 1400 students and 280 teachers from the partner schools.A smaller group of direct participants who attend the LTTAs is formed of 100 students, aged 15-18 from general secondary education, including challenged social and economic students and 36 teachers (English, ICT, Social Sciences/Humanities);METHODOLOGYThe project is designed has 5 main chapters:A1. Project management – includes monitoring and evaluation, risk management, financial management, cooperation and communication strategy that will be applied throughout the project.A2. Implementation of activities 5-6 students are choose to participate at LTTA`s. After the LTTAs, participants organise workshops in which they share their experience.A3. OUTPUTSPublishing a theoretical collection of materials from the LLTAs workshops, related to film-making applications – „Tips for making the most of film-making”. The output gives the methodology for starting a film club in school. Each country contributes to it with materials presented during the LTTA hosted. They start to collect materials in the second year of project.A4. DisseminationDissemination will be realized throughout the project. It starts in September 2019 and ends after the project end date. The online dissemination is assured by the website and e-twinning space. They are created at the beginning and updated as frequently as possible, especially after every major event in the project.A5. Follow-up and sustainabilityHaving the methodology in the collection „Tips for making the most of film-making” after the first year after project ending a film club will begin in every school.RESULTS AND IMPACTThroughout the project we want students to improve critical thinking, skills ICT and film-making skills, level of English, team work, dealing with similarities and differences between countries. Film clubs will ensure sustainability of the project. These intangible results like: tolerance, respect and acceptance of alterity have great impact on students’ life, shaping further on the community they live in. Participating schools will gain experience in managing ERASMUS+ projects, and the community will benefit of emerged European value.

Actual society is rapidly changing and we are creating a framework where people is expected to move more frequently from their birthplaces to different locations. To succeed in this new situation it is important to know how to communicate with each other in a multicultural context, with different languages, religions, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. And the first step in this direction is to know what defines the identity of people, at individual and community level; what defines our own identity.We need to take action and to be aware of the importance of Nature and Cultural heritage. In this project we intend to valorize all those natural and cultural, material and non material resources at local level that, not being milestones of civilization, also help us to explain who we are, our history and our idiosyncrasy.Our objectives are:- To raise interest on natural and cultural heritage, particularly in Europe.- To highlight the importance of environment as an essential element in our lives.- To put into practice new methodological tools based on outdoor activities on local natural and cultural resources with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach.- To promote creativity and entrepreneurship towards the promotion and valuation of environment and material and immaterial cultural heritage.The project partners are five schools from Latvia, Turkey, Serbia, Italy and Portugal, all of them secondary school, two general education schools and three vocational training ones. All of them with experience working on transnational projects and with an interesting heritage in their locations. The project is addressed to students 14 to 19 years old.The project activities are planned to investigate about the local natural and cultural heritage, their influence on people’s identity and their potential as a tool to communicate and to work together as well as to promote the development of the local areas where they are located, at both social and economic level. The working scheme is to learn and investigate about the local heritage resources and share that knowledge in transnational meetings; to learn about the entrepreneurial project linked to those heritage resources and to raise appreciation and consideration towards it with the development of promotional material at local and transnational level. Approximately more than 140 mobility (mainly student mobility) is planned for 2 years. It is widely agreed that the prosperity of our world’s future is closely connected to well-educated children. In our project we will make it clear that each student’s voice is heard, because in a milieu of cultural diversity different views act as a catalyst for progress at each level of social life. Student exchanges and other activities in the project will also enhance an understanding toward diverse perspectives on European citizenship and help our students to develop an appreciation of the European cultural diversity and an empathy for different cultures.We will have LTTAs in the concept of Short Exchange of Pupils. During these LTTAs partners and student will devote time to learn about the heritage of the host countries reflecting on the influence of heritage on people’s identity, learning about the threats and opportunities of Natural heritage and the importance of the cultural one, creating promotional material based on their own gathered material (pictures, video clips, graphs, maps, etc.). In the mid-project LTT act, teachers will learn basic concepts of marketing and about how to promote entrepreneurial skills in their pupils, as they will explore the possibilities to use heritage to promote growth and development and will pick up local entrepreneurs on heritage to present case studies to their colleagues. The last short-term teachers training will be on the creation of a methodology to work on heritage as an educational tool to be made available for everybody via ICT tools under a creative commons licence.All the project activity will be based on a project based learning with a multidisciplinary approach organized around outdoor activities and peer-learning sessions in a cooperative transnational working atmosphere. We intend with this project to raise awareness in our students and the educational community towards local heritage and its importance, providing other schools with the guidance and examples needed to replicate the initiative in future projects at local or transnational level with great success. CCE is a Project aiming to make its participants be aware of other cultures and Their Ntaural and Cultural heritage while it is aiming at the same time to make people be aware of their own environment and Natural and Cultural Heritage. Thanks to CCE, we strongly believe in that the More They are aware of their environment, the More they know How to interprete the effects of their environment on their life, The happier and the More successfull citizens they will be.

In daily interaction with our students and encouraged by contemporary research, we have noticed that young people increasingly escape into virtual worlds, which results in the reduction of their cognitive, affective and motor skills and increases the possibility of developing psycho-physical illnesses. For this reason, using the natural and socio-cultural resources around us, we have designed a project that inspires students to engage in experiential and field-based learning. Students would stay outdoors and learn and recreate themselves through a multidisciplinary program. In a fun and creative way, with the application of modern, innovative and interactive methods, they would study topics from different disciplines such as geography, biology, physics, maths, history, mother tongue and literature, visual arts and at the same time engage in physical activities. The project is intended for all students, especially those who do not have the opportunity to engage in recreational sports. However, our main concern it to provide opportunities for socially deprived students and those with impaired mental or physical health.Mountains and the surrounding highland areas are our underlying motive, namely, the preserved environment where activities and field research will be carried out in order to develop an awareness of the need for sustainable development. The purpose is not only to learn about material and immaterial heritage and build cultural identity, but also to find similarities and links with peers from other regions in nature conservation, ecological preservation, historical, geographic and geodetic specifics and monuments, local terrain features, sites of historical, cultural, ethnological or anthropological value, folk literature, customs, dance, music, old trades, language specifics, historical and geographic links that enable linguistic contacts and influences. With our partner schools, we would like to explore all these fields of interest and jointly discover the benefits of returning to nature and the need to respect and preserve environmental resources as a pledge for the future. Our plan is to design attractive activities that would enable students to master the basic skills of hiking, orienteering, skiing, sledging, walking and camping. Furthermore, the forest ecosystem and its benefits to the individual, society and all other living world would be explored with the help of reference literature and direct field measurements in the domain of biology and physics. We would learn about the most common types of trees, apply trigonometry in geodesy, search network tools and use them for altitude measurements and GPS locations, learn orientation skills, seek ways to build mountain trails and use mathematical measuring and calculation methods in all these areas. We would analyse the geological structure of soil by making mineral, rock and fossil collections and explore areas under legal protection and cultural monuments. Likewise, we would study regional linguistic diversity, language specificity, and detect linguistic interdependence resulting from similar geographical and historical development and influences among countries. We would look for similarities in nurturing folk literature, find common features and mountain motives, thus, together with the actual biodiversity observe folk mythology and tales we share and even create artwork from natural materials.Hence, we want to connect with local geodetic and ecological experts, hiking and walking instructors, licensed ski instructors, physicians and physiotherapists, ethnologists, curators, local writers, culinary educators, mountain rescue teams and environmental protection agencies.Our emphasis will be on creating interesting sporting competitions that take into account traditional culture, quizzes, presentations, posters, interactive maps, charts, picture exhibits, comparative dictionaries, geolinguistic atlases, anthologies of local tales, digital photo albums, video works, respectively, various entertaining and creative activities depending on the students' interests so that in a natural environment they can discover their strengths, talents and develop interests. We also intend to develop future learning scenarios to use and disseminate at schools, within the local and professional community and other formal and informal teaching. In the spirit of multiculturalism, by developing intercultural communication and finding biological, geographic, historical, artistic, linguistic and traditional meeting points with partner countries, we want to encourage our students to understand and respect other cultures and raise them as true European citizens. In this respect, we want to achieve long-term cooperation with our partner schools. In conclusion, our ultimate goal is to acknowledge that mountains can be conquered by all students regardless of their psycho-physical limitations, health or social problems.

Context and objectives: The project idea originates from the needs identified by the coordinator school.Then it was discussed by the partner schools. It was concluded that we all show similarities in terms of our students lacking skills: they need support to turn the theoretical knowledge into meaningful practical tasks. They need real life learning to be able to bridge the gap between the classroom and real life. Marketing students must be equipped by skills and usable knowledge they will need at their wokplaces: the process of setting up businesses, marketing tools to advertise and promote products and services, building up business relationships with other companies, writing CV-s, conducting job interviews as interviewers and interviewees, designing websites, carrying out business online, making business correspondence, negotiating, describing products, preparing questionnaires, making SWOT analyses etc. In addition they need to improve their Business English speaking skills, they have to learn how to stay confident in unexpected situations, how to solve problems, how to make portfolios and reflect on their achievements and failures. The title of the project - Let's Make a Deal - refers to the process of bargaining, an important element of enterpreneurial skills. Throughout this project we want to facilitate productive collaboration among each partner at the same time increase their career chances in their future profession.Number and profile of participants: 5 countries - Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and Hungary - will work with high school students between 14-18 years old. In 4 schools (Hungary, Italy, Spain, Slovenia) the students learn business related subjects, marketing and/or enterpreneurship. Starting their own business enterprises is a real opportunity in each partner country, as the rate of unemployment is generally high everywhere. The school in Turkey has immense experience in realising e-twinning projects, so their expertise will be used to promote digital and real life collaboration among partners . The school is now introducing financial literacy in its curriculum in order to make students internalize the concepts of earning and spending money, making investment, risking, starting entrepreneurship.Description of activities: 2 short-term joint staff training events are planned to work out the strategise we are going to use to realise the aims of the project: students founding companies, carrying out business-related, professional activities by collaborating with their international project partners. 4 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils are planned to carry out the project activities each built around a key element of business strategy from company foundation through establishing business relationships to exchanging products. 1st short-term exchanges of groups of pupils: students learn about job-interviews and they conduct simulation interviews2nd short-term exchanges of groups of pupils: students found and introduce their companies3rd short-term exchanges of groups of pupils: students study legal requirements in real business environment4th short-term exchanges of groups of pupils: students create their company website and company newsletterMethodology: promoting experience-based learning, project-based learning, collaboration, team spirit, the use of digital appliances and online platforms, working on e-twinning.Results and impacts: students will develop transversal competencies, practical knowledge about how to set up a business, carry out business activities, pay attention to copyright issues, conduct commercial corespondence. This project also promotes multicultural education, tolerance to different cultural environments and business environments. Students will be equipped by practical, real life knowledge that will complement the theory behind the concept of enterpreneurship. Teachers will develop professionally by applying project-based learning and experience-based learning. They will share the good practices acquired during the project, their professional knowledge will be wider. By promoting and distributing the results and products of the project at various scenes of school life - lessons, teacher meetings, workshops - we will promote the quality of the teaching profession in each partner school. We will make our schools more attractive to young people and their parents, also the strenghten the image of our schools in our local communities.
