"Context : The project was initiated by 4 long-standing European partner schools in a project called ""International Education"" (I.E.) This network of schools has existed for 20 years and the number of partner schools has fluctuated but the ""core"" of the founding schools still includes schools in Barcelona (6),Germany (2), Italy (2), Belgium (1).This network of schools has been organizing cultural exchanges around the theme ""European Citizenship: Identity and Democracy"". These exchanges are the culmination of a comprehensive curriculum, a European citizenship course, which was developed by a group of representatives from each school 15 years ago.These courses are given in English and raise pupils' awareness of the European reality. Each school integrates them into its curriculum in its own way, but all the students participating in the exchanges worked on the theme ""Identity and Democracy"" before the exchange.Objectives: The aim of this Erasmus+ project is to renew the ""European Citizenship"" curriculum, creating new course sequences in the form of 6 interactive modules, each of which will address a European theme, namely:- European Institutions- Geography and History of the E.U.- Art in the E.U.- Climate change- Migration- Everyday life in the E.U. and its impact on young peopleP.S. These modules will also be offered in mooc form.Participants: 6 schools will be partners in this project: 3 schools (Barcelona, Wavre, Göttingen) which founded the I.E. Group and developed together the ""original"" curriculum, 1 school (Torino) which has been participating in the exchanges for several years and two ""new"" schools that will bring new life to the group, a different sensitivity, a different pedagogical experience (Finland and Turkey).These are all secondary schools which, for 4 of them, have a habit of working together and which trust each other. (The ""new schools"" were brought into the project by the Turin school which has already worked on other projects with them.) In each school, in addition to the teachers chosen for their motivation and competence, a group of 20 students will be ""selected"" to be at the heart of the project, work for 2 years and participate in the activities.These students will be considered as full teachers' collaborators.Activities: 6 activities are planned, one per school. This will be a week of exchange, during which the school will host the 5 partners and where 20 local students + 20 ""student partners"" will test the activities planned for the 6 modules. Each school has its own theme. The 6 schools will prepare the theme that will be dealt with during the exchange in advance of the exchange on the basis of the instructions provided by the organizing school. Of course, the content of each exchange week can be adapted according to the evaluation that follows the exchange.Methodology :-Each school will recruit a team of teachers and students who are motivated and willing to be involved in the project for two years.-Each school will reflect on how best to address the pedagogical and innovative theme of addressing the theme assigned to it.-Each school will send its instructions to the partners concerning the week of activities (material to be brought, presentations to be made....) while within the partner schools the team will prepare for the week of activity.-During the exchange weeks, in addition to the activities planned to test the modules, the teachers will work on the coordination of the project to solve various aspects: schedule, budget, evaluation, problems to be solved, report to be written...-Cultural and festive activities are also planned to allow everyone to meet different European realities, improve in English and to bring the teams together.-After evaluation of the activities, they will be modified if necessary, if possible tested in schools with a ""normal"" school audience and after approval of the whole group, the modules will be converted into mooc, made available to as many people as possibleResults: The schools of the I.E. group will now have at their disposal new sequences of updated courses with pedagogy adapted to the teaching needs of our time.The contents will obviously be renewed later, according to current events. It will be a working base that can be useful to many teachers, outside the International Education group.Impact: The students who will now participate in the cultural exchanges of the I.E. Group will have a better vision of Europe after having taken these sequences of courses. Teachers will have had the chance to experiment with new things for their courses and will be all the more motivated and competent in English. They will also be the spokespersons for the project in their respective schools.Long term benefit: This project will no doubt allow the I.E. group to expand with new partners and allow more schools to get involved in European partnerships (even without financial support from the E.U.). It also puts more Europe into school."

"We live in a constantly changing world characterized by fast developments in society and technology and the opening and expanding of markets. Our globalized world offers a lot of opportunities but at the same time we need to take responsibility and address problems such as youth unemployment, sustainability, xenophobia, discrimination, questions of social equality and political fairness.The objectives of this project have been to innovate teaching methods and learning at the participating schools, and enabling students to adapt to and deal with the constant challenges that they face in an ever changing world.The partners in the project consist of teachers from seven schools, who had worked together in different Comenius Project, with a common goal: innovating teaching and learning practices in order to prepare students adequately for their future life. Austria: Heustadelgasse is a secondary school. Supporting every individual according to their abilities and creating a fruitful learning environment are primary goals.Denmark: Sabro-Korsvejskolen is a primary- and secondary school. Sabro Korsvejskolen has three basic values: Credibility, Respect and Commitment. Students, parents and staff work with an appreciative approach to communication and cooperation.Finland: Pietarsaaren lukio is a high-school, and the mission is to provide nurturing and challenging environments that emphasize democratic values, cultural diversity and life-long learning.Italy: IIS Bodoni Paravia is a secondary school. School works in the field of multiculturality through a number of projects.Poland: ZSS “Splot”. The Independent Middle and High School of Nowy Sącz works towards open and tolerant Europe through education.Slovenia: Gimnazija Jurija Vege. Grammar school, Technical secondary school and vocational school. Works towards Xenophobia. Use the Slovenian language as the prime language.Spain: Joan XXIII is a primary- and secondary school, involved in nets of cooperation and learning with the criterias of respect and solidarity, commitment to sustainability and environment. The main focus of the project has been innovating practices in the educational areas: Sustainability, International Dimension, Entrepreneurship, Teambuilding and Creativity. The methods used have been Flipped classroom, Student Teams, Cooperative Learning, Peer Education, and Design Thinking in our practices, and educational tools provided by Web 2 platforms.Meetings have been very successful. As planned, we had two transnational project meetings in the first two years and three in the final year, followed by short-term exchanges of students. Each meeting has been followed-up with new practices tried out in participating schools, and followed up with evaluation for teachers and students. These evaluations were examined currently, and if necessary, changes in plan were made.1st Transnational Project Meeting was in Aarhus, Denmark. The headline was Innovation and Teambuilding. Headline for 1st LTT students meeting was “Kids take Action” on Sustainability.2nd Transnational Project Meeting was in Idrija, Slovenia. The headline was “ Innovation and Learning Skills, Teaching Tools I”, and followed immediately by LTT students meeting. Same theme.3rd Transnational Project Meeting was in Barcelona on Innovation and Entrepreneurship. 3rd LTT students meeting had the headline: “The student as Producer and Entrepreneur” .4th Transnational Project Meeting in Finland was about Innovation and Sustainable Development, followed up by LTT students meeting ""Youth takes green Action"".5th Transnational Project Meeting was in Austria. The headline was Innovation and Learning Skills, TeachingTools II. The 5th LTTstudents meeting had the headline: Web 2.0, and “ A common Europe of Cultural Diversity”. 6th Transnational Project Meeting in Poland had the headline: Innovation and creativity and the 6th LTT students meeting “Creativity as an Innovative Skill”.7th Transnational Project Meeting in Turin was about summing up results, working on final report and planning future activities.Results of the meetings and cooperation in between meeting have been significant, and published in blogs, booklet and films. All schools now have a policy for sustainable education, which has impact on local communities and families. Each year all schools participate in Earth Day with a sustainable agenda. New practices have been implementet at all schools, and shared among collegues, which has resulted in an educational ""make-overs"" for all schools. Long term benefits are among others that many teachers have revaluated their role as teachers and established professional networks and will continue to cooperate after the project has finished. Lots of our students are still in touch with each other, even those who have left our schools. The project has forstered internationalisation, and enhanced understanding of cultures."
