Our project is a pupil exchange between Sharples School in Bolton, England and IES Numero 1 in Javea, Spain. The aim is to enrich the learning and cultural experiences of our disadvantaged pupils who, without this funding, would not have the opportunity to visit another European culture. The activities will vary between the two countries. When the Sharples School is hosting the pupils from IES, the focus will be on science. This is because Sharples is a specialist science college and therefore we will be educating the pupils visiting us using the specific expertise of our science teachers. As well as this, we will give our visitors the opportunity to do undertake some astronomy studies in our school observatory. To bring these topics to life, the week will also include visits to places such as the Science and Industry museum in Manchester to further enrich learning. When IES Numero 1 are hosting the pupils from Sharples School, the focus will be on accelerated language learning and cultural experiences. IES, due to having pupils who speak in excess of 30 languages, have developed methodologies to teach the Spanish language to their pupils in a timely manner to allow them to access the curriculum at an age appropriate level as quickly as possible. Language learning in this environment will greatly benefit the pupils from Sharples School who are studying Spanish for their GCSE qualifications. We aim to take 14 pupils on each exchange over the two year project period, with 7 pupils each time. The short term impact envisaged is an increase in the confidence of our pupils speaking another language, the Spanish students acquiring science specific skills and a passion for astronomy, and above all, the opportunity for our pupils to see themselves as European citizens by visiting and being fully immersed in another culture. In the long term, we hope that this project will inspire the pupils who have taken part to further their travels and broaden their horizons. By establishing this initial face to face contact with our partner school, we also hope to have the opportunity to carry on these visits to further strengthen the relationships between our pupils and colleagues. The schools will keep in contact via eTwinning and will continue to communicate and share information and best practice for many years to come.

"Education of the 21st century must be visionary and future-oriented, in the face of stunning scientific and technological innovations and changes. The students of the 21st century are digital natives. They are skilled with technology and comfortable with global and intercultural communication. That means modern web applications have to enter study process more energetically. The objectives of the project "" Get SMART!"" were: * to improve the capacity of the partner school staff based on the needs of the 21st century to apply modern online teaching tools * to identify and analyze good practices of the partner schools in the field of web applications that can be used in different subject lessons * to broaden students' knowledge on different important European discoveries and treasures, * to try out 100 website applications on different treasures (scientific, language, historical, cultural, gastronomic and nature) treasures * to compile lesson plans where web applications are used * to raise students' skills of team-teaching * to raise teachers' technology skills corresponding to the needs of the 21st century • to strengthen mutual understanding among European nations through getting to know different traditions of the participating countries * to compile a booklet "" Get SMART!"" where all the created web applications will be gathered. All the planned activities gradually lead to achieving all the planned project objectives. * During C1 activity teachers acquired knowledge and shared good practices on web applications in a workshop and thus raised their professional skills and were informed about the technologies our students are well aware in a workshop * During C2, C3, C4,C5 learning/teaching activities students created web activities on different treasures and got to know different traditions of the partner countries* Learning/teaching activities C6 and C7 were cancelled due to Covid-19, but instead learning/teaching activities C8 and C9 were organized in October and November 2020 and all the planned tasks were carried out online * Between the learning/teaching activities the created applications were tried out at schools during the lessons and school activities. Teachers and students worked as a team. The direct participants of the project activities were 110 participants including students aged 12 – 16 and different subject teachers (ICT, geography, literature, biology etc.). Indirectly also the parents and town councils participated as well as some project activities were organized as community activities. The learning/teaching activities were organized following the scheme: * the partners presented their study on some treasures in their country * there was a practical workshop where the students applied the knowledge they had learned using some web application * a culture festival - Easter traditions around Europe, Christmas traditions, gastronomic festival, history quiz contest, etc The gastronomic festival which was planned during learning/teaching activity C 6 was replaced by online festival where all the partner schools filmed how they prepare national food for Christmas. During learning/teaching activity C7 it was planned to a photo exhibition on nature treasures in each country. That was replaced by online exhibition through Facebook platform. At the end of the project all the created materials were compiled in the manual “ Get SMART!”"

"Environment destruction caused by humans is a global problem, and this is a problem that is getting worse with every day.

"In the schools of the 21st century, there has been a significant change - from the place where students were trained for final examinations and admission to higher education institutions, schools have become a place where problems in the real world are addressed. In this century:• Learning requires students to actively work with abstract concepts, facts and formulas in a real and highly social context.• Critical thinking has become a necessity in the learning process• Students must be able to use different resources• Cooperation has become an integral part of learning.It is therefore important to train teachers and pupils to address nowadays teenage issues. The project ""Healthy Minds for Healthy Europe"" focused on implementing a range of interventions in partnership with healthcare institutions to tackle various addiction problems at schools. It is very important for teachers and healthcare professionals in different European countries to share their experience in dealing with these problems. Each country has its own practices and methods of trying to prevent youngsters to become addicted to bad habits.The main objectives of the project were to:• Improve the capacity of partner school staff based on the needs of the 21st century• Identify and analyze the situation with addictions in partner countries• Share success stories in the field of addictions in n each school • In co-operation with healthcare institutions, develop course program and lesson and activity plans ""How to prevent different types of addiction at schools""• Try out the created lesson and activity plans in partner schools.• Strengthen mutual understanding between the peoples of Europe by getting to know the cultures of the partner countries.The project worked in several directions: 1) studying the situation in all partner schools and countries concerning different types of addiction; 2) getting to know good practice on fighting addictions; 3) creating a study programme, lesson and activity plans for preventing various addictions and promoting a healthy lifestyle. 4) organizing seminars and simulation games on various topics on fighting addiction:• How to work successfully in a team• How to reduce addiction to mobile phones and video games and replace them with more appropriate activities• How to limit the time spent on social networks• How to learn to eat healthily • How to convince peers to quit smoking• How to restrict the use of alcohol and drugs among young people.5) writing success stories on fighting with addictions.Teachers and healthcare workers worked together to create a study program, lesson and activity plans ""How to prevent different types of addiction at schools"". During the simulation games, students had to play different roles – the one of a psychologist and an addict, trying to persuade the addicts to turn to a healthy lifestyle. All the materials created during the project were posted on the project website www.theserasmus.wordpress.com and the brochure ""How to Fight Addictions at School”. During the project, 2 project meetings and 3 teaching/learning activities took place as well as 3 teacher teaching / learning activities. During the first project meeting, project coordinators in Latvia elaborated a plan for implementation of the objectives set out in the project, divided the tasks, discussed result dissemination activities and project finance issues. In the second project meeting in Greece, a seminar was held where the progress of the project and the created materials were analyzed, the planned result dissemination activities in each school and the sustainability of the project were discussed as well. The final project report and the publication of the brochure were also analyzed."

Adolescence with many physiological and physical changes is a period of maturity and complex psychological evolution. At the same time, adolescence is a rupture with childhood with a lot of questions about adult future life.From 11 to 18, teenagers free themselves from their parents. They assert their own desires, they look for new identification figures and new experiences, often against laws.With their emancipation and integration desires in a peer group, adolescence is a critical period. Teenagers like taking risks and taking up challenges. Adolescence is the right moment for experimentation of psychic active substances and unusual behaviour. If they are used to these habits, they could abuse and become dependent. The consumption levels of some products as alcohol or drug are high. Their healthy and social consequences are the main preoccupation of the European plans to fight against drugs and any addictions, for example video games. This kind of behavior, taking risks, may lead teenagers to bullying (as victim or as instigator).Drugs and alcohol consumption is an important addiction but another new problem is compartmental addiction. Video games, internet and games of chance are an education and healthy important preoccupation. Addictive behavior can have an impact on teenagers' development.Adolescence is an important learning and emotional discovery period. Meanwhile, drugs and alcohol consumption and unusual behavior can stop teenagers’ good development and may disable them.Thanks to Erasmus + project, all partners pool resources and skills and they help each participant to identifie and addictive behaviours. 500 teenagers between 12 and 19 learning in different kind of secondary school, technical vocational school and high school and 25 teachers of 5 European countries. Thanks to these daily participants, more persons will be aware of this issue.Thanks to this project, all the partners wish pupils and teachers could identify those dangers and prevent them. This project aims to inform and advise parents because house is the first place to detect these dangers.It suggests prevention and school help with multidisciplinary project and experts and associations that intervene in schools.During a first meeting, European teachers plan different step to realize this project. They specify common and national actions. First, the priority is teachers’ training. Then, mobilities will be planned to allow sharing experiences and productions. Each country realizes actions, which are explained in this document, like : sharing with local addiction victims associations, disseminating knowledges and realizations with new technology...Thanks to these activities, this project aims to study prevention initiatives and to advise school staff, students and local community about these dangers. This project is based on inclusive education. It permit to involved all students, whatever their origins, their competences, their specific needs... All partners wish develop common values as tolerance, respect other people and laws, freedom and non-discrimination. The text of “Declaration on Promoting citizenship and the common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination through education” (Paris, Tuesday 17 March 2015) reaffirms theses values through promoting European students exchanges.All Erasmus + partners want to get all participants to become more responsible, in their behaviour and their consumption. They wish these European project values help teenagers to become free and responsible citizens.
