“Second life” is the project under the framework of Erasmus+ strategic partnership for schools program. It unites primary schools from Latvia, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal and Poland with the aim to promote environmental sustainability, consciousness between pupils, raise awareness of such problems like climate change, waste treatment/recycling, human being impact on nature and energy. The project will also exchange experiences of integration of environmental education principles into the learning process of school curricula and emphasise how environmental education relates to the development of different crucial skills - such as entrepreneurship, logical/critical thinking, communication, independent decision-making, spatial thinking - the direction and distance determination, planning, concentration, memory etc. The project specific objectives are following:1. Inspire pupils to become sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people that care what will be left after them to the next generations;2. Ensure pupils engagement in the learning process about project main topics - Second life of waste (recycling), human footprint into the nature – nature protection, energy sources/renewable energy;3. Ensure principle of learning by doing, peer to peer learning during exploration of project topics;4. Motivate youngsters practically research, explore and participate in activities aimed at environment protection issues awareness;5. Practically research and learn about second life of waste;6. Develop pupil’s handicraft and entrepreneurship skills creating and selling handicrafts made from waste materials;7. Develop and improve English language skills communicating in host families and preparing project work materials and participating in eTwinning project;8. Raise awareness of the different European national education systems and cultural diversity;9. Gain experience in social and communicative skills living in guest families.10. To discover and learn about partner countries cultures, and languages;11. Introduce and promote innovative methods that facilitate environmental education for primary level school children;12. Exchange experiences and good practices by using eTwinning platform, carry out peer learning activities and workshops;13. To help participating schools to increase ability to work in international projects.About 500 pupils will be directly involved in the activities of the project and nearly 3774 students will indirectly involve in the project. 50 teachers are expected to involve directly to the project activities. From all participating schools over 383 teachers and other school staff will indirectly benefit from the project.The project will consist from following activities: Project kick-off meeting, 6 learning, teaching, training activities for pupils and accompanying teachers and school staff, set of local activities in each school – workshop weeks devoted to different environment topics, thematic activities, seminars, presentations, etc. To promote virtual collaboration aTwinning project will be launched with participation of all partner schools.The main methodology used carrying out the project will be: formal and non-formal methods such as presentations, workshops, group work, gamification, peer learning and active learning, discussions, field visits, outdoor learning by real experiences.

"The project ""hAPPy Students"" aims to integrate several educational applications in the teaching process.The coordinating school has early enough detected the difficulties that the primary school pupils face with Maths and Physics.They communicated these concerns at the local Directorate of Primary Education and in 2019 a consortium for a KA101 Erasmus+ Funding for the embedding of STEM Education in the Primary schools' curriculum was created. Since then, a lot of STEM activities have taken place in this school. To take a step forward, the coordinating school has started implementing lesson plans with the use of educational apps. The use of educational apps in the school curriculum is expected to make the teaching of the different subjects, especialy Maths, Physics and Technology more efficient, introducing the inquiry learning in these subjects. Students spend quite a lot of time on their phones or computers and often this activity has negative effects on their performance in school. We intend to use applications and embed them in the school's curriculum in order to improve students' literacy and numeracy skills. Thus, the students will spend quality time in front of their electronic devices. Since there is sufficient number of students in difficult situations (refugees, pupils with special education needs) the lessons will be structured in such way that these children are included in the pedagogical process. The coordinating school is the 2nd Primary school of Lamia, Central Greece. The partner schools are: Huerta de la Cruz school in Algeciras, SpainIstituto Comprensivo "" A.Leonori "" in Rome, Italy“Atgimimo“ School in Druskininkai, LithouaniaSJSP Spoleczna jezykowa szkola podstawowa in Lebork, Poland andSehit Yilmaz Bozkurt Ortaokulu in Adana, TurkeyThe schools in Greece and Spain are experienced in using modern technology in the classroom. The Spanish school uses innovative teaching methods such as special software for the teaching of several lessons, Google Suite for Education and several apps. This innovative teaching has been very fruitful for the pupils and the staff of the School. Last year, the school won the first prize in a very important European Competition, ie. Science on Stage. These two schools lack experience in Erasmus+ KA229 Projects. The Italian and Polish schools are experienced in this field. They are currently participating in such projects. The Italian one has taken part in several Erasmus+ projects over the past years. The Turkish and Lithouanian schools don't have experience neither in European Programs nor in educational apps. They were selected because some of their teachers are very active in the field of teaching Maths and Physics.During this project, 11 educational apps are going to be introduced. In each LTT there will be a workshop for the participating teachers held by the Greek or Spanish schools, during which they will be presented the use of 2 or 3 apps in teaching different subjects. These teachers will then present the apps to their peers at their schools and they will embbed them in the teaching process. The eTwinning platform will be used for the exchange of lesson plans including the use of these apps and common projects between the partner schools. The Italian school will undertake the assessment of the project and the evaluation of the project activities. The Greek school will be responsible for the project's coordination, the blog and Facebook page, as well as for the assessment of the lesson plans created by the partner schools. The Turkish school will be responsible for the eTwinning platform. The Spanish school will be in charge of the educational applications and tools that are going to be used. Finaly, the Polish and Lithouanian schools will be responsible for the projects's manual.In the end of the project, there will be a manual published in the 6 languages of the project partners. In this manual, the best lesson plans that contain educational apps introduced during the project will be published. It will be uploaded in the websites of the partner schools and the local Directorated of Education, so that they can be accessible by all the schools in the regions of the partner schools."

“RESPE.CT.: RESPonsiblE education against violence” arises from Istituto Comprensivo “Leonardo De Lorenzo” of Viaggiano’s idea to start an international cooperation path with the Primary School “Zhivko Brajkovski” (Macedonia), the “Agrupamento de Escolas Murtosa” (Portugal) and the “Społeczna Językowa Szkoła Podstawowa” (Poland), in order to break down the barriers of silence surrounding the problem of discrimination, bullying and cyberbullying, by promoting non-violence at school.According to School Education Gateway survey, ona sample of 515 people interviewed, occasional discriminatory incidents occur in almost half of schools (47%). According to UNESCO (Behind the numbers: Ending school violence and bullying - 2019), 32% of students have beenbullied by their schoolmates at least once, 21,1% have been victims of cyberbullying, 36% have been involved in a physical struggle with another student and almost 32,4% have been physically attacked.According to the Report by the Regional Childhood and Adolescence Guarantor of Basilicata region, among those who claimed they were bullied at Primary Schools, 10% of girls and 21% of boys attending Post-primary schools, do not talk about it with anyone.The exchanges, both the transnational mobilities (a total of 6 days for 6 learners for each partner school) and the virtual exchanges on the eTwinning Platform, will involve learners aged 11 - 14 years who will analyse the topic of contrasting violence at school.About 40% of the mobility will be reserved for learners with fewer opportunities.Specific objectives of “RESPE.CT.” are:-to support opportunities to acquire and develop key competences for everyone, including basic skills;-to promote a respectful and responsible attitude among learners;-to educate young people to be active and responsible citizens;-to promote international dialogue amongpeers;-to fight all forms of violence and discrimination;-to promote the internationalisation and cooperation of educational institutions;-to start the exchange of good educational practices among transnational colleagues;-to act as active Training Agencies on the local area.Through the methodologies of Role Playing, Cooperative Learning, Peer Education, learners will be able to improve their linguistic skills (communication and their written and oral multilingual comprehension), on the topic of citizenship, learning to learn, creativity, digital skills and ICT. In addition, learners will develop important soft skills such as, respect of roles, problem solving, teamwork, cooperation, communication. The teachers who take part in the project implementation will improve their management and project development competences, as well as their communication skills in foreign language and ICT.Each transnational mobility, hosted in rotation by each partner School, will allow partners to deal with different topics related to the main theme of non-violence at school:-C1: “Act against discrimination”;-C2: “Combat Bullying and Cyberbullying”;-C3: “Stop to Racism”;-C4: “Kick Violence”.Through the creation of articles, slogans, Cineforums, debates, newspapers, sports tournaments, learners will be able to understand how to oppose all events going against the directives of the “Paris Declaration” of 2015 which “RESPE.CT.” is inspired by.The project outputs and their dissemination will be useful to raise awareness among the wider public.The topics will be simultaneously discussed on eTwinning Platform in order to create useful materials for the project implementation. In addition, a newspaper (“WE ACT, WE RESPECT!”) will be created, which can continue to be edited after the end of the project activities in cooperation with the partner Schools.The partner Schools will be able to improve their management and project development skills in the framework of Erasmus+ Programme, starting new cooperationsestablished on theeTwinning platform and the dissemination of the project proposal and the project outputs created. In addition, they will innovate their educational offer, thanks to the exchange of good practices, becoming virtuous examples of inclusive schools and bearers of high civic values.100% of learners will improve their average grade in language subjects and thosedebated during the implementation phases.The presence on Erasmus+ Project Results and the activity of teachers on eTwinning and School Education Gateway will allow Institutes to gain visibility and to be internationally recognized as virtuous and innovative Training Agencies, with the consequent increase of cooperation and contacts that will lead to a progressively structured and long-lasting Europeanisation.
