REACT! – Respect Environment and Cherish Thyself is an answer to the problems encountered and needs expressed by probably most European schools. The motivation behind it was a strong willingness to deal with poor recycling at schools, unhealthy habits and addictions of students, lack of enthusiasm towards sport, high smog levels in some towns due to burning trash as well as local problems caused by climate change, such as coastal erosion in Portugal, extinction of endemic species due to deforestation in Romania, shortages of water supply in Turkey, forest fires in Greece and pollution and eutrophication of the Baltic Sea in Poland. There are five main areas put under scrutiny: Energy saving and reducing water pollution, Healthy habits without addictions, Separation and recycling, Sport and sustainable food, Reduction of gas emissions. Our main target groups are learners of any age group (with the main focus on 14-18 year-olds), including adults, willing to make a difference for themselves and our planet in the number of about 300 per school (150 in Greece). Also, local authorities that are all close partners of schools, interested institutions, public and private schools, NGOs.The objectives of the project include: O1 - Developing key competences of students through incorporating teaching methods promoting cross-curricular cooperation, creativity and innovative learning approaches in the fields of science, social studies and physical education;O2 - Developing social skills in the areas of teamwork, initiative, entrepreneurship, active citizenship, civic engagement through formal and non-formal learning activities by cooperating with institutions in local communities;O3 - Bettering communication skills in international contexts with a clear focus on English;O4 - Acquiring digital competences while developing all of the other skills and blending them with the necessary IT;O5 – Raising awareness on the common European Union values, policy and laws in regard to environment protection and fighting climate change;O6 – Developing long-term teaching methods and competences promoting sustainability, especially in the consumption habits; reducing carbon footprint by recycling, saving resources, energy and water;O7 – Actively promoting healthy lifestyle by encouraging resignation from consumption of stimulants as well as by encouraging physical activity. Raising awareness about diseases like AIDS or flu.Objectives will be realized through a set of activities, events, micro-projects and the eTwinning project with its TwinSpace: students' presentations; films, photos, drawings, sculptures and other art pieces; poster campaigns; week long events, such as Active Citizenship Participation Week, Eco-Health Week, Plastic Caps and Waste Paper Collection; special days: Health Day, Sports Day, Earth Day, Blood or Marrow Donor Day, World AIDS Day; meetings with specialists; field trips to plant trees and to a waste treatment plant; LTTAs with their country and topic specific workshops as well as micro-projects in TwinSpace: a yearly report on 'Smog Levels Across Europe,' a presentation 'Results of Climate Change Across Europe,' a guidebook to a better life and planet, 'REACT! – Respect Environment and Cherish Thyself – Dos and Don'ts.' Formal and non-formal, inter and trans-disciplinary approaches to learning will be developed, together with teamwork and autonomous learning, while key competences in the areas of creativity, communication, digital, entrepreneurial, civic engagement and other social skills will be acquired or improved. Participants will also gain knowledge about sustainability of food production and consumption, healthy lifestyle as well as the European Climate Pact and other regulations and values the EU promotes. The international context that the project brings will become a motivational factor, besides improving determination and self-esteem. It is the international context that will make a real difference in perspective and mentality all participants will gain, and which will not be possible to achieve through similar activities carried out in a single school or community.We expect to introduce some of the new formal and non-formal education activities and methods to schools' curricula long-term, such as Health and Sports Days, Blood and Marrow Donor Days, civic engagement projects helping local community, yearly smog reports or recycled art. Schools involved will also better define their roles and positions in the local communities, will become better known and more attractive to young minds that will see their enrollment in these schools as golden opportunities for future life pathways based on the acquisition of valuable knowledge and skills, all acquired in a well-grounded and friendly manner. The achieved project results will constitute an example and encouragement factor for other schools or institutions to undertake the challenging, but rewarding task of applying in Erasmus+ programm

Among students ,girl students generally tend to avoid or grow hesitation towards scientific studies and STEM studies.The tendency towards girls are the same too.The families,teachers or employers do not think or behave equally as they strongly believe that girls and boys have different roles in the society and the qualifications and jobs have genders.If we do not change our attitude and ignore the scientific developments, girl will face crucial problems of unemployments and excluding in working life.Seeing the hesitation and avoiding joining STEM or Robotic coding activities among girls or strong prejudices and dicrimination toward girls in using computer technology and applying it their studies, have run us preparing us and motivate the students to act and remove all the prejuices .We are 6 partner schools and our students are between 10-18.Our schools are from Spain,Italy,Greece , Bulgary and Turkey. We aim to;-build up a ‘team of researchers’ who can analyze and focus on the main problems related to Gender Inequality in their schools and in the Society they live; - help students to investigate the reasons why few girls and female students are involved in STEM; .- enhance the knowledge of cultural heritage through the study of own’s traditions and approaches to different life styles in order to understand how we can solve the problem of gender inequality finding positive attitudes/aspects to spread and negative ones to avoid or fight.- fight against stereotypes creating padlets, posters, video and all the webtools 2 which can be used for that purpose- meet local and political representatives in order to discuss possible solutions creating a public meeting where students can give reasons for overcoming gender Inequality;- using Scratch (coding) in order to portrait these women and give them our voice- decrease the feelings that block students to communicate with people such as shame, exclusion, hopelessness.-make our students citizens of the world taking care of the problems other countries experiment related to this topic;- enhance their digital competences presenting and using different webtools 2 (from Scratch to coding, Google Form, Kahoot, Qizzes, Padlets, Tricider, ) and Social media- make them aware of the risks connected with the wrong use of the net (E-Safety, Netiquette)-motivate them about using ICT( create and design new things by using technology)- let them take part in the project implementation by giving tasks, manipulate them, organise meetings regularly. -build up self confidence and entrepreneurial skills.They could decide to prepare a campaign for Gender Equality and they could create gadgets to sell and arise money to give to onlus or ONU to defend girls’ rights to be educatedWe will have 5 exhanges of pupils and they will last 5 days.For each mobility,2 teachers and 3 students will join the mobility activities.1) Students will act a black light theatre performance and prepare a school presentation with WEB’ tools in Spain,2) Students will create comics with ‘TOONDOO‘ on gender equality and will make banners about gender inequality to learn Web 2 tools in Bulgary,3)Students will run a concert performance and send equality messages and will make animation with toontastic about gender inequality in Greece,4) Students will arrange a puppet show and will create messages on right to have education, gender equality,peaceful world and protesting discrimination in education with WORDART in Italy,5) Students will make stem with 3d printing about “gender inequalıty and will make calendar about gender inequality to learn Web 2 tools in Turkey,Throughout two years we will also follow a timetable and realise P15 activities with our partners.The participants will be able to ;-change their point of view broaden it and motivate all the students and include them in activities,-point out the causes lying behind prejudices and hesitation of including STEM studies among girlas and find certain soutions and tear them down,-take place in activities of computer technology,learn and apply them for our purposes, -introduce web2 Tools and studies on Robotic Coding Programmes,-exchange good practices and effective methods and techniques in teaching and learning and build up productive generations ,-impose including STEM studies and focus on the importance for future employment and working life,- host the students from partner schools,meet new people,promote cross cultural activities and create a multicultural school athmosphere,-design,plan, work in pairs/groups,produce their own products and have outputs and encourage the students for growing creativity,self confidence and delf esteem.-be aware of any risks they may meet and use the internet and IT consciously,- create a peaceful school athmosphere and decrease early school leaving,

"By implementing the project ""Technology Enhanced Learning and Lightening - TELL it to the world"" our special aim was to conduct TEL in our classrooms, bring it to a superior level – Lightening – and then share it to other members of the European educational community: TELL it to the world. The coordinator was Colegiul National CANTEMIR-VODA from Bucharest, Romania and the partners were: 15 TEMMUZ SEHITLERI ANADOLU LISESI, from Nevsehir, Turkey Jacopo del Duca - Diego Bianca Amato, from Cefalu, Italy Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Gymnasium Windsbach, from Windsbach, Germany Lycée général et technologique Pierre Poivre, from Saint Joseph, France. The Comenius and Erasmus+ experience was important for the good implementation. The duration of the project is 24 months, starting on 1st of September 2017. The objectives of the project were: 1) developing students’ digital skills in: editing digital materials, accessing the internet efficiently and responsibly in order to acquire new and valuable things, using the virtual groups on current social networks for educational purposes; 2) developing pedagogical skills to our teachers who will improve their teaching with the help of modern technology and they will make their lessons more attractive; 3) intensifying co-operation between European educational institutions by exchanging models of good practice in e-learning. Before proposing the project we ensured ourselves that the objectives are SMART. The tasks and responsibilities among the partners was as we distributed them in the application: -Romania: conceiving and monitoring, web design -Turkey: promoting and sustainability, e-learning -Italy: ensuring communication, social media in education -Germany: assessment, using the internet in education -France: dissemination, using audio-video in education. The meetings were organized as we planned: 2 transnational project meetings, in Romania and Turkey 4 short-term joint staff training events, in Germany, Italy, France and Romania 2 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils, in Germany and France 2 blended mobility sessions of school learners, in Italy and Romania. The results during the project are: 1) the pupils’ digital skills to edit video files, PowerPoint files, to conceive basic web pages, to access the internet efficiently and responsibly in order to acquire new and valuable things as well as to use virtual groups on current social networks for educational purposes are improved. 2) increased number of digital lessons in the partnered institutions. 3) students’ school results are improved decreasing the risk of early school leaving 4) increased motivation of pupils for learning and self-learning 5) intensified exchanges of experience in e-learning. Additional results are obtained: students’ and teachers’ developed language skills, greater team spirit, critical thinking, larger cultural horizon, higher tolerance and understanding towards other fellows. The main outcomes of the project are: -a website to promote TEL; -a virtual group of teachers and students interested in e-learning; -a video tutorial on the topic of web design. 94 pupils with fewer opportunities (disabilities, health problems, economical difficulties) were involved in the project. In order to achieve the project objectives we proposed a wide variety of activities for implementation, communication, promotion, designing particular tools, monitoring, assessment, dissemination, sustainability, organizing project meetings (as host or guest), selection of the people involved, logistic responsibilities and duties, training in ICT/linguistic/pedagogical/cultural domain. All activities were listed in the Gantt chart of the partnership and for each of them, we developed a plan that included: target groups, people in charge, the activity’s objectives, its content, location, time and duration, methods and means used, expected results, evaluation tools and methods, budget. We also had plans for handling risks which could happen during the project. Among the most relevant activities were: class attendance in partnered schools and training activities and workshops for students/teachers, done locally and transnationally, and dissemination of the project results. At the end of training activities within the transnational meetings, arrangements for recognition or validation of the learning outcomes of the participants were done (Europass Mobility). The project had a great impact at the local, regional, national, European and/or international levels: more motivated students, more attractive lessons prepared by the teacher using the modern technology, more friendly schools, new European partnerships or other Erasmus+ projects in the field TEL."

Our project 'Education Through Technology' aims at improving our ways to integrate technology to our lessons more competently and learning new methods of learning and teaching that young people will find more motivative for themselves such as Web2.0 tools and digital learning games.As a result of the surveys we carried out at our school we found out overusing technological devices was the top problem of most of our students.We also found out that teachers and students don't use them efficiently and they are not able to do research, lack of critical thinking skills, although they have all the opportunities to make research with technological tools, they cannot solve the problems in real life successfully.In addition, we have also found out that our students are techno-addicted so they suffer from health problems. In accordance with the 2023 EUROPEAN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT VISION, a project management comittee has been established in our school on behalf of increasing the effectiveness of management and quality improvements efforts. Through this project all teachers will be trained to use web 2.0 tools and new technological methods in their lessons such as blended learning and flipped classroom.We also focus on the negative effects of overusing technology on our health and society.With this project we will help students and other people to use these technological devices in a more controlled, useful, productive and conscious way. Objectives of the project; -train teachers to use new innovative technological methods and Web 2.0 tools in their lessons. -make students use of technology and reinforce what they have learned in the class -encourage students' intercommunication and to share intercultural affairs between partners in Europe.-widen the students perspectives to become competent European citizens -encourage individual learning and critical thinking -develop the key competences, ICT, language competences using technology in terms of teaching and learning -be aware of other countries culture and values and tolerate their culture -differentiate reliable from unreliable sources on the Internet, make classroom sessions more colorful, lively and interesting. -help students and people to use these devices in a more controlled,useful way. -show negative effects on their health with the help of experts. -lead them to use these devices for educational purpose, so they will spend their time to learn more productively. -improve the quality of education with technology Partners in this project are 15 Temmuz Şehitler Anadolu Lisesi from İzmir, Turkey; IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain; Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy, Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland. POLAND is the coordinator organisation. There will be four mobilities. In each mobility from each school, for each LTT activity, 3 accompanying teachers and 5 pupils who are between15-18 years old, will be involved in the project meetings. Liceo Mamiani Pesaro from Italy will focus on project-based learning activities and training the partners about use of web 2.0 tools in education, sharing European values-multicultural gatherings, designing a multi-lingual dictionary Zespół Szkół Technicznych “Mechanik” from Poland will introduce the latest technology which is Augmented Reality (AR).This more advanced version of coding magically brings pictures into life and creates digitally enhanced view of the real world. It gives teachers an opportunity to engage students through animation and 3D context in the educational process and to add some unusual flavour to the lessons. All the partner schools will incorporate technology into class on a daily basis. IES SIXTO MARCO from Spain will teach a full-length lesson based on activities in using Technology. Activity will cover various didactic approaches to teach students how to get engaged in activities of their interest and motivate them to learn and acquire skills and competences. Some of the activities will involve role-play and games for Individual players or teams of players such as Hunt game: Google Classroom activities, (MATH)-Labyrinth quiz TURKEY will focus on the screen addicted students. They will organize conferences to inform pupils, parents and people about aftermath of using too much technological devices; smart phones, tablets, PCs. Turkey will be responsible for the final evaluation of the project.This project will bring a new and fresh understanding and motivation into education in the globalized world.Teachers and students will make use of digital devices in and out of lessons.This will improve the quality of education in the long-term.We expect good results which tecnology can bring to education as well as divergent voices that will double the real impact of technology on learning. Thanks to the digital education, learning won't be restricted within the the walls of the classroom and the school day and the school year.
