    The topic of the project is “Learning and teaching without limits”. In our project we would like to support and to point at traditional methods which are approved in the educational process for a long time. We want to eliminate the situations in which the student is not motivated enough and he/she is only the passive receiver of the information. We will emphasise creativity, individual assumption, communication and presentation skills and the ability to work in a team. We want to support the idea of open education.Imagine the ideal school which students like to attend, where teachers who love their work teach and students who love learning educate. Each school can be like this. We want to inspire teachers and introduce trends in education to them, make new modern educational materials prepared within the project accessible to them. We want to attract students and teachers by the innovative ways of teaching and to form space in which it is pleasure to learn and teach. We want to increase the image of all participated schools in this way. There are four partner schools involved in the project: 1. Gymnázium, Kukučínova 4239/1, Poprad, Slovensko2. Kaunas A. Pushkin gimnazium, Litva 3. Gymnázium, Praha 8, U Libeňského zámku 1, Česká republika,4. Gladsaxe Gymnasium, Dánsko. Students involved in the project will be at the age of 15-18. During the realisation of the project we will organise various activities. They will be focused on mutual education of teachers and students and changing their experience. Each partner country will choose traditional and innovative methods which they prepare and integrate into the classes of minimum 4 subjects. The lessons will be realised during mobilities and each partner will test them in the period between mobilities. We will realise workshops where students and teachers will work in international teams to complete partial as well as final outputs.Inseparable part of teachers´ workshops will be sharing experience in the sphere of formation of teacher´s portfolio. Another activity will include complex analyses of the lessons which will be realised not only by teachers, but also by students of all partner schools. Their comments will be included in outputs – methodology, worksheets and application. Each partner school will organise a cultural evening aimed at introduction of the country, its culture and traditions. Students will gain and digitally process the information in the form of photos, videos and application outputs after seeing the interesting historical, cultural and natural places in the partner countries. Methodology used in the project will contain planning the activities, their realisation and the project outputs. Realisation will be focused on exchanging experience and testing traditional and introduction of innovative methods (ICT method, blended learning, CLIL, team cooperation, the use of digital educational content, RUR method, INSERT method,...) to the lessons. Via lessons teachers will get to know other methods, students will try work of a teacher and join the teams working on the formation and testing new didactic materials. All outputs of the project will be accessible free of charge as open educational sources. We will find out in the survey (questionnaires) which educational methods were inspiring and motivating for students. Project outputs will be: didactic educational aid for teachers (methodology) and worksheets (for teachers and students), their printed form, the map of visited places in Google Earth, website about the project on the platform of e-Twinning, project logo, application, short video films with demonstrations of work with ICT, photo album with photos of individual project phases, conference, video film of the project, questionnaires evaluation worked out by project participants.After the project finishes, communication among teachers and students will continue on the platform of e-Twinning. Teachers will use competences gained during the educational process. Created methodology will contribute to making lessons more attractive and simplify teacher´s work. Using open educational materials will help improve digital skills of teachers and students, their motivation and self-confidence in learning and teaching. We suppose the improvement of communication in English, increase of European awareness, getting to know new cultures and traditions and strengthening team cooperation. We think that all activities in the project as well as after its finishing will change the view of students and public in general on the profession of the teacher. We are sure that via the project we will contribute to the increase of the image of each school participated in the project.

    How were your history lessons? Frontal? Boring? Quiet, just a textbook and you memorized everything by heart? Nowadays teaching methods have changed and most teachers today enable their students at least a small discussion about the topic or they use the projecting system to show the students pictures from the Internet. But is that enough? Four different secondary schools from four countries (Slovakia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Turkey) discovered that they are having similar problems regarding History at their school and decided to do something about it! The objectives of the project were: 1. to introduce a different kind of learning, that includes also other subjects 2. to enhance ICT learning and to improve the ICT skills of all the participants 3. to improve language skills of all the participants 4. to improve teaching methods of the History teachers involved in this project 5. to improve communication skills of all participants6. to make the participants aware of their own national heritage they can be proud of, but also to meet other cultures and their history and to accept them and overcome any prejudice against other cultures or vulnerable groups.On one hand there were secondary school students, aged from 14 to 18. Two of the schools were general grammar schools, two were vocational schools (students from one school were from Technical grammar school, from the other school they were from professions somehow connected to History ). On the other hand there were the teachers, which did not function in this project as just accompanying persons, but they also got to know other school systems, rules, teaching methods and in this way they reflected their own job and improved their lessons. The students that worked tightly in the project there were 6-7 in each country and there were in each country 2 History teachers, one ICT teacher and one English teacher (= Project manager) to help them. The project group (all countries together) consisted of 40 participants all together (plus 4 accountants, 1 for each country). What if you had the opportunity to give lessons to your peers and they would give lessons to you via Skype, if you were taught by foreign teachers, would have the opportunity to go to a certain country and learn right there, on spot, visit a castle, touch it, smell it, feel it, hear it... you would cook their food, wear their clothes/hairstyles, learn their folk songs, tales, dances, listen to their music, learn about the herbs they were using, get to know their legends and to perform them? Would you like to be guided through different workshops by the local museum? Wouldn't it be nice to be creative and to film a longer documentary about each country's castles/natural heritage and to help your History teacher,since it would serve as a teaching material for next generations... What about creating a commercial for the 3 castles you will visit in each country, which would serve as a promotional material for them? What about making a castle calendar, a 3D print of a castle or a flash mob? This is everything what we did. Quality of the project was ensured by 3 transnational project meetings in 3 different countries, at the beginning of the project, the middle and at the end of the project. Quality was also ensured by regular weekly meetings of each schools' project team and via Skype/email communication between partners, project managers were also present during all mobilities and also two polls served as quality control. There were many results anticipated in this project, but the most important ones were broadened knowledge of History in a different, more creative way, improved ICT skills with the help of modern technology ( as a result short commercials for the castles and long video for each participating country about castles/national heritage), improved English knowledge (and picking basics of other participants' languages), improved teaching methods, improved communication skills of all participants and nevertheless the programme helped all participants to be proud of their own natural heritage, but also to respect other. We also expected that all he kids accepted students from vulnerable groups. There was broad and long term impact not just on the participating schools, that improved their teaching methods, improved communication at their school, tightened bonds between students and teachers (that make work easier) or even get more future students, the project also had a great impact on the local community, since local museums prepared special workshops for the needs of our project, which they will later include into their regular offer and spread the knowledge nationally / internationally. This project also had a broader effect in all participating countries, the long videos were offered as teaching materials for free and participating History teachers also prepared seminars about teaching methods for their colleagues.

    The project was created in response to two basic needs identified at the level of the schools involved- the need to boost students' motivation of learning and consequently their school results and then need to promote intercultural dialogue among people from different countries and backgrounds, in a European context which is now facing great challenges. Therefore, the purpose of this project consists of two apparently distinct directions. On the one hand, we want to get students more involved in their own learning by having them use the computer in their studying, thus improving their results and performance. On the other hand, we want them to experience what it means to be European, to expose them to different ways of thinking, values and beliefs. The partnership includes 5 schools – The SK, MK, LT, IT, TR.AIM: to improve students' motivation, involvement and school results and to promote intercultural dialogueThe objectives we envisage are:1. involving students in their own learning with a view to attaining better results and becoming more motivated; (at least 40 percent from the target group will improve their school results)2. developing students' transversal skills - numeracy, computer literacy, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability; (at least 30 percent of students will improve these skills)3. developing intercultural understanding and acceptance; (at least 60 percent of students will have better knowledge of other cultures)4. developing communication skills in English; (the 156 participants, students and teachers, will improve communication skills in English)5. promoting European values and develop cohesion among European citizens; (measurable by analysing students' and teachers'attitudes to other cultures, as seen in the post-LTTA feedback)MAIN ACTIVITIESC1 - November 2020 - IT - Topic: Using software to create fun lessons; Customs and traditionsC2 - March 2021 - MK - Topic: Using online tools to create quizzes; MathsC3 - May 2021 - SK - Topic: Using online tools to create booktrailers; LiteratureC4 - November 2021 - LT - Topic: Digital tools for artwork; Religious StudiesC5- April 202 – TR -The Turkish school – Teacher Training, evaluate it and write a meeting report.120 students aged 13-17 from the 5 schools, selected from the target group of 250. The students come from very diverse backgrounds - urban and rural - and have a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, which makes the project even more appealing. 36 teachers of ICT, English, Math.The project is designed to cover 5 main areas:A1. Project management – includes monitoring and evaluation, risk management, financial management, cooperation and communication strategy that will be applied throughout the project. 1 TM is included,at the end of the project.A2. Implementation of activities - involves selection of participants, preparatory training sessions, participation in exchangesA3. Elaboration of ICT lessons - done prior to the exchanges by each partner institutionA4. Dissemination - dissemination will be a continuous process that involves the sharing of both tangible and intangible results at local, regional, national and international levels, using a variety of channels and addressing school and non-school audiencesA5. Follow-up and sustainability - each school selects a group of teachers to implement the new methods during regular class work. The success is measured comparatively against the results and level of satisfaction of students who learned the same contents without digital instruments. Then another school in each area will be supported to include digital tools during class work in the next year.RESULTS AND IMPACTStudents will improve knowledge in terms of ICT tools for educational purposes, practical skills related to designing mini-lessons, story trailers, digital projects, online quizzes, digital artwork, motivation, school results, experience another culture, increase adaptability, self-awareness and awareness of cultural differences which make Europe so diverse, and yet unitary.Teachers will have the chance to exchange good practices, teaching methods, opinions and will improve English and digital skills, organisational skills, teaching methods and tools.Schools will promote a positive self-image and become more visible in the community. They will gain project management experience and will set examples for other schools to apply for projects. They will also become more cohesive and a positive atmosphere will be created among the members.

    "We will carry out the program within the program of Innovation in Good Practice Exchange (KA2) (School Education Strategic Partnerships) - Erasmus + School Training Program Main Action 2 Forensics planned to last 24 months.With the partners Turkey (Trabzon), Italy (Cefalu), Lithuania (Kaunas), Spain (Murcia), Germany (Berlin) our project involves five student-teacher mobilities and two 'transnational project meetings' . For many years people have to meet World Peace Day in the dark environment bringing pain, tears, brutality and destruction. Although wars always have a winner, the humanity loses at the end.With the ending of many human lives,there are crying women and children left . These thoughts are the starting point of our project .When the history of human beings is examined, we have witnessed that the most beautiful days and periods always lived in peace periods. In fact, the greatest wars are our human egos we can not bear and our own selfishness. However, it is already time for us to act as educational neighbors to reconstruct a habitable world we long for. Perhaps in the coming centuries there will be no country borders, perhaps the greatest crime will be discrimination and war cry. On the basis of these statements, thanks to this project our aim is contribute to the world peace with art events and universal visual expressions that symbolize world peace by painting from the hands of different country participants with the slogan ‘ No to all kinds of violence – war ‘ . We have already come to the point where we find our partners in chaos, confusion, violence, war, which is a common problem in almost every part of the world. We will have a large-scale (10-15 m²) paintings, which will be prepared in four acts in each mobility, in the form of works of peace, in the form of mixed and even numbered working groups determined beforehand by participants, and to attract international attention to the project by attracting public attention with the exhibitions in each country . In visual applications, the cultural and artistic colors of the whole world, including the priority participating countries, will be included.Event images will be posted on the participants' local and national media. The slogans prepared in different languages will contribute to foreign language awareness of the participants. In this way, our project will gain the transnational dimension . Our project consists of students in the 14-18 age group. 2 teachers and 5 students will participate in the ""short-term exchange of student groups"". Portugal will attend the project with 1 teacher and 4 students. His ""student group"" will last 7 days. Meetings will be held twice during the project, at the beginning in Turkey and at the end in Lituania. Two teachers from each school will join this movement. Our project includes seven mobilities in total. It is a social and psychological study. Partner schools will work to make projects for immigrants, refugees, eligible and disabled students. Every partner is responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluating specific action plans. School's contact person is responsible for his/her school. Turkey's(Trabzon) IMKB Vocational and Technical High School is the project coordinator. Schools will constantly communicate and exchange information with video conferences, eTwinning, facebook, project web page, email and WhatsApp.The most important concrete outputs will be the large-scale pictures to be made during the implementation phase of the project, all the activities included in the project (preparing the school journal / publishing online, preparing the project web page, organizing photo exhibitions, making surveys, making video conferences, preparing project DVDs).In addition, booklet preparation, sketch designs of works to be created, project advertisement film preparation, seminar arrangement and visit to culture / art spaces.Applied surveys, brochures, circulars and posters will enhance the effectiveness of your project.Our project also has the potential to bring local, national and European voice to partner schools and the target audience.Our project will have important results in the field of social psychology. All these results will make an important contribution to the development of the European dimension on the national and international scale of democracy, arts and multiculturalism, as well as on the students, teachers, local institutions and universities."
