"The project entitled ""Your voice in the future of Europe"" will be implemented by four partner secondary schools from : Poland, Spain, Turkey and Bulgaria. The main objective of our project is : Sustainable development of the partner schools by educating the students' key competences, especially in the field of ICT and foreign languages, civic awareness and strengthening the professional profile of the teacher.The realization of the main objective will be done through the implementation of specific objectives;1. increase the key competences of students and teachers in particular in the field of civic awareness, group cooperation and democracy. 2. increase the professional profile of teachers. 3. development of language competences of students and teachers. 4. increase of pupils' participation in the democratic life of school. 5. more strategic use of ICT and open educational resources by students and teachers. 6. increase in self-confidence and greater involvement of all students in school life . 7. introduction of democratic standards in each partner school.8. increase the quality of work of each partner school by introducing modern ICT-based methods The following material results are planned:- the project website containing all activities - Photo exhibitions - organized at the end of the project and presented in each school at a concluding conference for students, parents, teachers and the local community.-DVD- where all materials concerning the project will be placed. It will consist of 4 parts Role of the European Union in the development of democracy, Social Inclusion, Role of Volunteering, Human Rights and Student Rights- an education game on democracy including min. 60 questions - English-Polish-Turkish-Bulgarian-Spanish dictionary with min. 50 terms concerning democracy- European Charter for Democratic Schools without violence - a document written in all languages of the partner schools which will contain rules that will make students feel safe. Our project is divided into 4 thematic blocks:1. active EU citizenship, European awareness and democracy2. social inclusion3. the role of volunteering 4. human rights and student rightsThe project will be attended by students from 4 partner schools aged 14-19 years. Only international cooperation will allow for a multi-faceted approach to the subject and will help to get rid of the fear of foreigners. In this way, learning will be transformed into a series of new discoveries and positive experiences, but also open new opportunities and horizons. With the opening up of borders to global migration, we need to better prepare our students and teachers for a changing world. The participating schools will combine formal and non-formal education as well as social and voluntary activities in order to strengthen progress towards the planned goals. Only international cooperation will allow for a multi-faceted approach to the topic and will help to overcome fears of foreigners. In this way, learning will be transformed into a series of new discoveries and positive experiences but will also open new opportunities and horizons. All these activities will contribute to the development of basic and key competences for students and teachers, e.g. in terms of language skills, civic awareness and ICT."

In parallel with rapid developments in the latest revolution of Industry 4.0 taking place for almost a decade now, we have been observing the world change at an unprecedented pace. Forced to revise their political, economic, sociological and educational dynamics radically and on a global basis, the countries have been struggling hard so as to keep pace with the revolution undergoing. Of all the questions of top priority, what one is to do to get ready for the future and shape his career is therefore bound to take place in the countries’ future vision. It is already foreseen with articles, OECD and WEF reports that most of the jobs existing today will no longer exist in the near future. Instead, new jobs will replace them and some more will emerge by no stretch of the imagination. This situation will inevitably shape the choice of profession in the near future, which has driven the partners of this project titled “Seeing The Future, Shape Your Career” to come together. The consortium formed to carry out the project consists of six partners from Bulgaria, France, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom and Turkey, each team of which involves two teachers and five students. The criteria set earlier required the partners to be enthusiastic to take part in a European Union project, to choose their target student groups among those aged 15-19, to lack any studies on 'future jobs' ever carried out at their schools, to take charge in such tasks as creating a multilingual website and YouTube channel, graphic design, video editing since the implementation phase will inevitably require the active use of technology, to have experience in a previous strategic partnership except for one inexperienced partner. Within the scope of the project; we aim to raise awareness about today’s job alternatives, tomorrow’s job opportunities and the skills required to acquire those professions. This is surely to be achieved by studying a new understanding of education called ‘Education 4.0’, developed to meet the needs of the industry while providing the requirements of new occupations. In the “Seeing the Future” section of our project, we have an objective to have teachers, students and their parents broaden their vision for the future through the activities of Industry 4.0, Education 4.0, and 21st century skills. On the other hand; in the “Shape Your Career” section, we aim to contribute to shaping their careers through different kinds of work in relation with future jobs and necessary skills, which will be carried out in cooperation with teachers, students and parents. Among several other objectives, reaching out to masses via the website, YouTube channel and TwinSpace is yet another primary one. In the implementation phase, there are numerous activities we are planning to carry out through the mobilities and on local basis so as to meet the needs of teachers, students and their parents in different aspects. In-service trainings and seminars will be conducted for project teams by experts in their fields. Workshops and Erasmus+ corners will be organised to keep teachers, students and parents updated; such printed materials as brochures and magazines will be some other useful tools to serve this purpose. We will pay educational visits to relevant institutions so as to make on-site observations on good examples. The content developed meanwhile by teachers and students will continuously be uploaded to the website, YouTube channel and TwinSpace. Last but not least; during the final local activities, job fairs will be organised to promote career planning. The abovementioned activities having been carried out, the participants will have broadened their vision on their career development while adapting to the dynamics of the new world revolving around Industry 4.0. Turning the spotlights on the updated roles of learners and teachers in Education 4.0, we will also have got the parents acquainted with the term ‘Parenting 4.0’ and involved in contributing to their pupils' adolescence and career planning consciously. What's more, the students will have been able to get in peer-to-peer interaction with students from other countries, improving their understanding of EU and developing awareness of the rights granted by European citizenship meanwhile. In an attempt to utilise these contributions in the long-term, we will share the results of the project on digital platforms. Directorates of national education, public education centers and local institutions will be contacted to encourage them to make on-site observations and benefit from the achieved results. They will be asked to get involved in the dissemination activities as well and help us share the relevant results with as many students and parents as possible. Public education centers will also be asked to consider any possibility to integrate the results into their curricula. All these will hopefully serve as a resource for those who want to gain more insight into the subject.

"The Project ""Eat well, Move more, Live better"" will be implemented by a partnership consisting of six secondary schools from different European countries: Germany, Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain and Latvia. All of them are general education schools. Two of them are WHO associated schools, some are experts in implementing health and sport in general education.Healthy eating habits and obesity became an EU priority with the European Agenda for Health in 2007. We would like to carry out this project to increase the importance of health and sport education at schools, to draw attention to obesity that causes many diseases. Our project's context is health eating habits, healthy life, obesity, sport and the implementation of 21st century students' skills into general, health and sport education at schools.The project will also be community-centered. By collaboration with various local institutions and informal groups of people, we hope to enhance the local social capital in our city and make it a better place to live. The project will offer an extremely stimulating and developing experience for the students that will change their attitudes and perception of the world, influence their life choices, give them the drive to pursue their aims, bring out their hidden skills, help them to become active and conscious members of their local communities, nations and truly European citizens.It will be a two-year project. We'll carry out 6 LTT activities. 4 students and 2 teachers will join in every project meeting. The students are hosted in host families for a better cultural awareness. Our project is built on our ongoing Etwinning project. The National ID is 215174. We'll deal with various forms of health and sport such as voleyball, table tennis, football, cycling, handball, tennis, athletics, and organic garden for learning healthy cultivating, using them to trigger and develop healthy-sportive perspective of students, to help them enriching and bringing out their hidden 21st Century skills. By using non-academic activities, we want to attract the high intelligence students who don't have time to bring out their skills or the students who don't want to participate in social activities or who see healthy life and physical activity unnecessary because of the technological development, who have domestic economic problems and give them a chance to feel important, build their personality and selfconfidence.Moreover, working together with representatives of other nations' health and sport institutions we'll raise awareness of obesity, healthy life and physical activities.We'll create joint end products: the logo of the project, the project nutrition book, the video of Erasmus+ Olympic Games on healthy physical activities, preparing a mascot by using 21st century skills, preparing food pyramid by using recycling materials, preparing public spot, project blog, utube channel, preparing organic garden and teaching to cultivate and a set of lesson plans for lessons conducted in health institutions and sport institutions.To achieve objectives of our project, we'll do various kinds of activities, such as workshops, competitions, exhibitions, evaluations... that other institutions like other schools in our localities, health and sport centres, restaurants, children homes, old people homes will be taken part in. The activities are aimed not only to create end products, but also to form attitudes of entrepreneurship and leadership, teach teamwork skills, perform well in new situations, cooperate with people ofdifferent backgrounds, develop 21st century students skills, develop foreign language skill, form resources for UNICEF and WHO, learn new teaching methods, form a sense of national identity by attending lessons health and sport centres.Project-based learning, live and learn, social interaction model, Evaluation methods, Enquiry-based learning approach, Question-answer, Discussion, Brainstorming, Hands-on method, Place-based education are methodologies while we are implementing the project for ensuring active involvement of the students in the activities.Project is student-centered, the students will be all project activities at all stages from preparation to evaluation, dissemination of its results and teachers'll only guide them.We'll upload all the tangible project results to the school websites, the joint project website and to the European database- in national languages and English, so that people all over the world interested in them can download them and use them free of charge, give reports, evaluation results to National Education and Health Ministry to maintain some curricula changes, form health resources for WHO, form sport resources for National Sports FederationsWith activities we will learn the reasons of obesity and how we will decrease the obesity rate. We will do analysis and we will share this informations with UNICEF, WHO, National Sport Institutions,National Education Ministry,Politicians"

Biodiversity – the extraordinary variety of ecosystems, species and genes that surround us – is not only important in its own right, it also provides our society with a wide range of ecosystem services upon which we depend, such as food, freshwater, pollination, protection against floods, etc... However, biodiversity is in crisis. In Europe, almost a quarter of wild species are now threatened with extinction and the majority of ecosystems are degraded to the point where they are no longer able to deliver their valuable services. This degradation represents enormous social and economic losses for the EU. Key drivers of biodiversity loss, such as habitat change, overexploitation of natural resources, the introduction and spread of invasive alien species and climate change, have increased, offsetting the positive effects of actions to stem biodiversity loss.The aim of the project is to raise and develop students‘ awareness of plant biodiversity and activities focused on preventing or reducing its loss through a combination of virtual events and practical outdoor research activities with the use of Pl@ntNET mobile application. The project will employ methods of exploratory pedagogy based on virtual events and practical research activities suitable for students aged 16-19 with graphical interfaces that help to overcome language barriers and hide potential basic computational complexity. This educational approach combines classroom learning, virtual demonstrations, nature visits and online cooperation, which enable students to build on mutual experience through teacher mediation and in the context of European school network. Teaching activities will be carried out by experts in the field of environment and teaching. Students with a lack of opportunities (disabled) aged 16-19 will also be involved in the project under the guidance of special needs teachers. The approaches aimed at problem-solving will encourage students to find solutions to prevent or reduce biodiversity loss, which can also find application in students’ everyday lives including nature protection. Students will get to know methods used in their own countries, compare individual approaches and find out about methods of the future. The aim of the Pl@ntNET project is not intended to compete with existing environmental education curricula. Instead, it aims to provide extra-value online tools which complement existing approaches and encourage the cooperation between European schools while developing ICT skills in students. In order to maximize the impact of the project objectives, ICT-based learning activities are designed to be delivered through existing school curriculum channels, such as field education or extra-value methods which enhance learning process, and not as separate learning modules. The use of existing school curricula facilitates the adoption of proposed educational methods even after the completion of the project. The proposed activities will be verified through the implementation of the project by involving teachers and pupils in experiential learning activities, enabling students to use the tools developed in practical research meetings and to work with students in other countries through a network of schools that exchange experiences and build awareness of the international character of environmental sustainability issues. Finally, Pl@ntNET aims to support the learning process by providing recommendations on best practices aimed at both teachers and students with a focus on teaching, teacher associations and policy makers with a regard to the smooth integration of the proposed solutions into the instructional processes and their dissemination through on-line portal services. This comprehensive, vertical implementation approach, which addresses all interested parties in education, will further facilitate the adoption of the proposed methods after the completion of the work plan.

In the last century, the world population has increased 5 times, energy per person has tripled, resource use has doubled. Water, which is the unique source for the continuation of life in the world, is rapidly depleted with increasing population, rapid urbanization, climate change and changing consumption habits. Research shows that water consumption has increased 2 times faster than the world population, global water shortage in 20-30 years.Despite environmental education in schools, the main problem's the inadequacy of awareness and competencies in our target audience in terms of water. For the EU that uses resources efficiently, an education-oriented approach with sustainable water-friendly school practices is the most effective solution to the problem. Our main needs are to raise awareness of water awareness, its importance for life, water pollution prevention and water saving with international cooperation.In this project, which was developed on the basis of bringing to the economy with the use of water and efficient water, the focus was on the sharing of water-friendly school good practices with international cooperation, integration into schools with enriched innovative educational activities.Protection of water, which is one of the EU 2019-2024 priorities, is one of the national targets by 2023 Education Vision, our partners coincides with our corporate goals too.It's aimed to improve the developing joint solutions to common problems with international cooperation and synergy, developing competencies with innovative practices that manage water resources rationally, recognition of European water resources, recognition of 21st century skills and language competencies, to improve the professional skills and efficient learning environments of the staff, to ensure Europeanization and internationalization, to increase intercultural awareness and to recognize EU institutions.The project will be carried out under the coordination of 1. Hava İkmal Bakım Merkezi Primary School in Turkey which is an eTwinning School and conducts national, international and EU projects on environment. Partner Schools have been determined by considering their geographical situation, water and environmental studies, project experiences, water areas with common and different characteristics, institutional capacities, and personnel competencies, they're 4 Dimotiko Pefkon in Greece, 134 SU Dimcho Debeljanov in Bulgaria, Jovan Sterija Popovic in Serbia. Participants were selected based on common criteria, priorities and numbers.Participant teachers are experienced in environmental projects, have academic studies, have post graduate education, have ICT and language competencies. Teachers with strong communication, experienced in project processes and language proficiency are accompanying. Since equality and social inclusion are supported in the project, disadvantaged students and participant students who can communicate in English and experienced in environmental studies are selected.The project duration is 24 months and intra-school and transnational activities are planned for the target audience. 38 teachers, 42 students, 14 accompanying teacher will participate in transnational activities to the Short term joint staff training and student group exchange; sharing good examples, on-site monitoring-comparison of activities; World Water Day, European Water Areas Map, logo, mascot, magazine, booklet, orienteering, marbling, drama, eTwinning studies; field trips; lecture observations, seminars, EU Institutions and NGOs' visits and shares are planned. Online experiments, water footprint calculation, animation preparation, three-dimensional designs, potable water supply, rainwater collection mechanisms, calendar, story, slogan, poster, seminar, meetings are in-school activities. In the project, problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, game-based learning, learning by living, dramatization, research, observation, examination methods will be used. Concrete outputs of the project are water resources maps, e-booklets, e-magazines, rainwater mechanisms, potable water, animated films, experiments, models, dramas, logos, mascots, blogs, surveys and reports, posters, brochures, e-documents, project final report.Competencies of project will be shared with the EU institutions, Erasmusdays, blog, Erasmus+ platforms, written and visual media, school websites, project and personal social media accounts, and become widespread.This project, with international cooperation, edu-oriented solutions, the integration and transfer of water-friendly school practices, adding value to sustainable growth and economy, strengthening institutional capacities, development of the language, professional skills of the participants, internationalization, intercultural interaction, with the submission of the project final report to the EU institutions, will directly contribute to recognition of EU institutions and to policies produced, inspire new projects.
