"As the classical understanding in education systems in Europe is gradually left behind and STEM practices begin to settle as its core point, a new education model is emerging. Considering the 21st century technological development, coding and robotic design studies within the STEM implementations get to the foreground as indispensable and developing field. With robotic coding and designs, technologies that populate every area of our lives in the fields of engineering, mathematics, science, and even arts are produced. It cannot be said that our educational system is adapting this technological revolution rapidly. However, international project-based activities are crucial for this adaptation. While evaluating the 21st century lifestyle, it becomes obvious that the vast majority of our students continues their lives as basic users or addicted to IT tools. We know that it is vital to approach to our students of ""Z generation"" with methodologies convenient to this era. As an institution, we are in a serious search for development of modern approaches in education. We want to involve our students of this generation in STEM applications and Coding and Robotic Design studies which are important part of STEM education. Due to this project, we plan to share and enhance good examples and bring out an innovative approach with project partnerships in the field of STEM, Coding and Robotics design. While evaluating the characteristics of the project stakeholders, we can see that the partners have such studies and expertise: ""Lego Mindstroms"" in Greece, ""S4A, Arduino"" in Romania, ""Scratch and Baldie"" in Poland, ""SmallBasic, MakeBlock"" in Turkey. In this sense, the experiences we will share with our partners having different levels of expertise in coding and robotic design, as a whole, will enable us to have an innovative, systematic, disciplined and dynamic perception of education in the field of STEM, coding and robotics design. Even if we run simple studies in this field, we cannot say that we are able to produce larger-scale studies. The approach our international partners are supposed to provide will complete our own perception of education and ensure that it is developable. Our project activity plans include thematic study topics in which each partner can transfer their expertise to other partners. On condition that our project is approved, we believe that we will bring out an innovative approach on using computing tools in education. As curriculum applied in the subject of STEM & Coding and Robotic Design at primary level lacks in our country, studies in this field are still very insufficient. Since classical education approach can provide very few students with good basis for the future, with the perception of STEM education we want to make them gain skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, product development and assessment, and also want to be their innovative guide. Coding is a process which is as important and fundamental as literacy skill. Because it involves many important elements such as ""thinking, mathematics, problem solving, science, etc."". Due to this reason we extremely need good school samples as an institution. These experiences will provide us to make our students gain a stronger and more modern foundation, and also a better perspective for the future. In total 25 teachers actively, more than 200 students from 10 to 14 years old will participate in the project work from the partner countries. There are teachers from various branches in the project. This will enable coding and robotic studies to be used in fields besides the informatics lessons. Students will actively participate in these processes via the activities the schools will undertake. Within the scope of these studies, each school will form an active group of students to determine the students who will participate in the final activity. By developing products with them, they will be able to participate in the ""international coding and robotics"" competition. The aim here is to develop products together rather than establish international rivalry and ensure that students become a significant part of an international event. In addition to make improvements on the subjects of STEM, Coding, Robotic Design, our project will provide important contributions in areas such as good classroom practice, sharing of cultural heritage and intellectual development. All project processes will be shared on the eTwining project page at the same time and provided to spread over a wider area. In addition, a booklet titled ""The use of computing tools in education"" will be published with the information obtained as a result of project experiences. This product will be delivered to many stakeholders and experiences will be disseminated. This project will enable us to develop with solid basis in direction to strengthen our understanding of a dynamic, critical, creative education in our institution."

"The “We learn Russian actively” project involved students of four schools from the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. The coordinator of the project was Szkoła Podstawowa im. Wspólnej Europy in Zalesie Górne in Poland. The main language of the project was Russian. The students attending Russian classes had opportunities to use their knowledge and skills while working on the project tasks. We hoped it to improve the children’s motivation. The main objective of the project was to improve communication skills in Russian among the students of the partner schools, with the emphasis on the vocabulary connected with kids games and activities, proverbs, food recipes, children literature and geography. The indirect aims of the project covered: - familiarizing the students with the chosen TIK tools, eg. Storyjumper, Padlet, Kahoot; - experience-sharing among the teachers of the partner schools; - enriching the educational offer of the partner schools; - promoting the culture of the participants’ countries. 749 partner schools’ students aged 12 - 15 participated in the project activities. While the project was running, four meetings were planned to be held in partner schools. The first one were took place in Poland in December 2018, the second one in Lithuania in May 2019, the third one in the Czech Republic in October 2019, and the last one in Latvia in May 2020. 6 students and 2 teachers from each school took part invited in the meetings. We also wish to invite students with educational difficulties and students from low income background. The methods of work adopted to meet the objectives included: teamwork, integration games, texts analysis, mini dialogues and language games. The following results have been activied: - enhancing the knowledge on geography, children literature and traditional food of the partner countries - teaching the students engaged in the project how to use the Storyjumper, Padlet and Kahoot programmes - expanding the professional qualifications of the Russian teachers from the partner schools; - improving the ability to promote one’s country; - raising the prestige of the schools in their local environment; - adding the European dimension to the schools. The tangible results of our work included: - audiobooks created in the Storyjumper programme, the Book of Proverbs; - the Gallery of Fairy Tales Characters prepared in Padlet - Kahoot quiz - photo and video reports on the concerts and shows. The cooperation on the project has enriched the educational offer of all partner schools. We have introduced to the learning plan of the Russian language extra topics, , Proverbs and riddles, Fairy tales , Culinary workshops, and to the annual schedule of school events ""Russian language day"" and ""European Culture Week"". We strived to make the Russian language more attractive by introducing the ICT tool into the teaching and learning process."

As teachers, we are seeing year after year how our students consume processed products, such as bottled juices, fizzy drinks or sweets containing a huge amount of sugar and chemicals, as a daily basis. Such products are mostly contained in plastics, one of the greatest danger of our planet. They not only foster overweight and an unhealthy diet but their containers also pollute the environment and the food chain that we depend on. This is also a problem for The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which defend, among others, Good Health and Well- Being (Goal 3), Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal 12) and Climate Action (Goal 13). Bearing all these problems in mind, these European schools from Poland, Portugal, Latvia, Finland and Spain have joined together to fight against obesity, plastics, processed food and the destruction of environment supporting a RealFooding diet. Taking advantage of the fact that two of the participating countries are from Southern Europe, we want to show our partners about Mediterranean diet as European intangible Cultural heritage, leading to a healthier diet of all our communities. The website www.mediterraneamos.es will be a very useful tool for this matter. Our objectives are connected to having European citizens with healthy diets, dropping little by little the use of contaminating recipients included in most processed food and who are conscious of the importance of preserving Nature as our goods are grown there. Last but not least, sports will be a key element in our project because if we do not practice sports we are exposed to suffer from health problems. Students participating in the project will be between 14 - 16 years old and this Erasmus + Ka229 will benefit around 720 youngsters, 63 with fewer opportunities and 44 teachers. Considering the Spanish school and do to the importance of inclusion, they will send a student diagnosed from autism to one of the mobilities. In general, activities will be focused on making our students aware of the benefits of RealFooding in their health, Mediterranean diet, so they will go from analyzing sugar contained in products, learning how to read food labels and preparing traditional dishes with their grandparents. Most activities will be done using new apps fostering our students digital competences and with inclusive and cooperative methodologies. They will also practice sports during each mobility as this practice is linked to a healthy life. During mobilities, students will work in international groups.The results we are willing to achieve is that our students will enhance competences like interpersonal, intercultural and social skills, and they will also treasure European citizenship, autonomy and personal initiative. The importance of learning to communicate as a way of establishing links with others is something they will achieve, they will also approach other European cultures, one of the most important matters of our project.Regarding teachers, we will put in common everyday difficulties and a shared reality, discussing in our meetings to improve our practice, sharing opinions and points of view, methodologies, curriculums and ICT tools in education. Furthermore, We will improve our ICT competences, essential for our teaching practice and our linguistic competences.Dissemination will be an essential matter in our project, showing all the activities that we are carrying out through myTwinspace, social networks and schools’ and City Councils websites. This way, we will be able to reach a great number of members of our communities who will learn about not only RealFooding and the dangers of processed food for our health, but also will feel motivated towards having a healthy lifestyle and taking care of the environment.Students and teachers will build close links, we will become better European citizens, improving our values and our European citizenship. In addition, hosting families will also benefit from their encounter as they will learn from the cultures, languages and traditions of the students who will be staying in their house. In relation to longer term benefits, students and teachers will have friends and colleagues around Europe not only to keep in touch but also to share professional issues and educational matters. Regular workshops will take place where students who have participated in the project will inform and train their school partners about RealFooding and all the issues developed in it.We will keep all the information, products and outcomes of our project in the tag “Materials” in myTwinspace for future activities related to: healthy menus, processed foods, inclusive methodologies, applications, evaluation tools and rules of Alternative sports.All in all, this project having in mind a healthier way of life, better habits and diet, will have a great impact in our educational community, in our personal lives and will open a door to future European projects in the participant schools.

»Our National Treasures Through the Eyes of the Children« is a 2-year cross-curricular project which includes students and teachers from 6 countries. Greece, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Spain and Slovenia.Preserving Our national heritage has a significant role in creating our personal and group identification. We are all searching of our »roots«, so we can find the link with the past and our place today. But nowadays we are challenged with big changes. Globalization, digitalization and mass migration has changed our world. People travel and migrate due to different reasons, so we live with »others« who have different heritage.We believe that nowadays the role of national heritage is even more important: 1. to not forget about our roots, 2. to learn and become aware that heritage is a human right of all, 3. to learn about importance of preservation and 4. to have an active role in it.The main objectives of the project are:1. To learn about the heritage of each country.2. To learn the history and geography of each country.3. To raise respect to other European countries and history.4. To raise awareness of Unesco heritage and the importance of preserving it in the light of future changes in the European context and globalisation.5. To develop European citizenship by knowing each other.We will achieve these objectives by mobilities and internal activities.Each country will do at least 14 mobilities including students and teachers, which means 98 mobilities. According to the interest and finances some schools will do even more mobilities, which they will fund by other resources (donations, parents, school).Main planned internal activities are: 1. A site “National Treasures Through the Eyes of the Children” on eTwinning portal.2. Each school prepares a multimedia presentation so the members get to know each other and posts it on the site.3. Each school creates an Erasmus+ corner which develops through the project.4. Logo competition: Applicant organization prepares the procedure for the logo competition, schools contribute their materials and a committee of school representatives choose the best logo and posts it on the site.7. A booklet is published in print and e-version before hosting teachers and students of other countries.8. Mobility includes field trips visiting the national sites. Students take the role of tourist guides.9. Art and crafts teachers help students to build 3D models of the chosen national sites. Models are exhibited in the Erasmus+ corner and photos of them are posted on the site.Our target groups in this project will be students on preprimary and primary level and their teachers.The expected results of the project are:1. Students and teachers will develop and raise their intercultural competences.2. Students and teachers will develop and increase their linguistic skills.3. Students and teachers will improve their ICT skills.4. Students and teachers will develop their competences in multicultural education.5. Students and teachers will improve their collaborative potentials.
