This project will boost the sport and social skills of teens with special needs by providing them a more sporty environment. Our most naive impulses about making pleasing decisions are ever linked with our previous useful social practices. Having a more featured life is not about economic upshots only, but also about particular choices of a well-trained and socialized person. A revolutionary integrative project, ASSIST is targeting mental well-being and inclusion via sporty collabs for teens with SEN.Sports is not only good for children's bodies; also good for their minds. Studies have shown that doing sport has psychological benefits for children and adolescents, and teaches them essential life skills. Besides, organized sports benefits children, even more than physical activities. A study by the London School of Economics, published in 2017, surveyed 459 athletes aged 12 to 20 years, shows that those involved in team sports reported higher “life-satisfaction.” Researchers think this benefits the social aspect of being in a team and the participation of other children and adults. Therefore, development from sports goes beyond learning new physical skills.Sports help children develop better ways to deal with the ups and downs of life, that is doing sports helps children learn to control their emotions and transform the negative emotions positive ones. Physical activity has been shown to stimulate chemicals in the brain that make you feel better. Thus, doing sports regularly improves the general emotional well-being of children. Researches show that there is a link between playing sports and self-esteem in children. The support of the team, the kind word of a coach, or the success of one of their team friend will help all children feel better about themselves. Group play helps children develop the social skills they will need for life, teach them to collaborate, be less selfish and listen to other kids. It also gives children a sense of belonging, helps them make new friends and builds their social circle outside school. Sports also informs them about teamwork.Moreover, ASSIST has a comprehensive proclamation on people who are often wasting their capacity by unnecessary stuff like social media, drugs, etc. These 'self-brakes' they overlooked can quite push, particularly teens, to corrupt routes in their significant years, and also lead people in the business life to spend their potentials rather than being skillful employees. Also, the people who are not involved in sports throughout their crucial years will not be able to be efficient enough for quality labor.By enhancing special students' skills in sports, we will not only contribute to physical and mental wellness but also conceive great awareness about Disability through related school activities. The students will give out leaflets on healthy nutrition, inhibiting bad habits and 'self-brakes' that prevent our welfare. Rather than Disability as the case, placing an issue we describe as 'self-brakes' of people in the project, will contribute a distinctive clarity to ASSIST tag and to its goals. This is also an essential action to expand Disability Rights.5-day programs in Sports-Themed mobilities with 3 students with SEN and 3 staff (aged 15 - 20) of each partner:• LATVIA – Saloon SportsWrestle - Boxing - Trampolining - Rhythmic Gymnastics• PORTUGAL – Ancient SportsShot Put - Equestrian - Archery - Climbing• SPAIN – Nautical SportsLateen Sailing - Surfing - Kayaking - Water Polo• TURKEY – Nature SportsOrienteering - Cycling - Javelin Throw - Bocce• LITHUANIA – Icy SportsSkiing - Snow Rafting - Bowling - Ice Skating• ITALY – “Exclusive” SportsTennis - Fencing - Golf - Long Jump/SteeplechaseTeens with special educational needs will achieve great goals in performing sports and inter-cultural cooperation. This will also assist in awaking the necessary synergy to succeed in any part of life for any member of society, despite any disadvantage.Apart from academic skills, special education is mostly focused on self-care and competencies such as sports, arts and socialization based on active citizenship postulate. Equality, Participation, Education and Training, Accessibility, Employment, Social Protection, Health, and External Activity; these clauses in the EU Disability Strategy show us that there is still a prolonged process to spread out the most authentic and restorative concepts for the communities to embrace the disabled people and their legitimate rights worldwide and to assure that these concepts are very parts of the civil society. That's why ASSIST has to be accomplished Europe-widely instead of being solely based on this partnership's needs. Our overarching objective is to strengthen all stakeholders to promote social rights and recovery in order to change mindsets and invalid traditions through a sustainable strategy and to ensure the wellbeing of individuals with physical, psychosocial, mental or cognitive disabilities.

"<< Objectives >>Europe is facing the most serious refugee problem since the Second World War. With refugee students, European societies are more multicultural and diverse than ever before. The biggest problem that hinders academic success in diverse schools is the problem of adaptation. In order to overcome this problem, it is vital to include cultural cohesion, cultural empathy and sympathy activities in schools. Our project is a proposal that will contribute to these studies.<< Implementation >>3 LTTA activities will be organized to:1. To learn to design and implement activities that will improve students' social skills with psychodrama techniques,2. To learn ways to positively develop the sense of intercultural cohesion among students by educating on heritage assets,3. Developing students' digital competencies and learning to use these skills as a tool to develop intercultural cohesion, empathy and sympathy among students.<< Results >>To learn about new intercultural education methods and techniques, to apply these methods in educational environments and to disseminate them in the sector in order to ensure the integration of refugees (all sociocultural disadvantaged students)into the education system and society without cultural prejudice and discrimination. Thus, by raising individuals with intercultural understanding, the Erasmus+ program; To contribute to the goal of ""building more resilient societies based on mutual trust"

"<< Objectives >>The overall aim is to increase interest in the STEM approach to encourage more female students to make effective career choices in the STEM field, and to contribute to reducing skill gaps in STEM from an early age, resulting in better scientific learning outcomes.Objectives:*2 To ensure the transfer of experiences between LTTA and 24 education professionals;*Developing 1 handbook;*Developing the key skills of 15 female students with 1 LTT activity.<< Implementation >>We have 4 activities.

<< Background >>Nowadays there is a growing concern and social awareness about the effects of climate change and the search for actions, at all levels and areas, that contribute to brake the deterioration of the planet. Electricity, electronics and energy sectors are frequently related to the pollution that suffocates our cities. An idea that we must fight with evidence of the benefits that new technologies can bring in these professional sectors. The old electro profile is changing to an innovative worker, involved in new technics focused on minimum electric consumption, energy savings and friendly environment technologies.ELECTRO ECO TEAM project arises from the initiative of a group of vocational schools with electricity and electronics. Aware of the deterioration of the planet as a result of climate change, willing to act from schools to give a sustainable and ecological approach to daily teaching activities, and that the professional activity of our electro students, future electro workers, have a component of efficiency and environmental care, committed people for a green world. On the other hand, we want to know how partner schools work, what educational strategies and organizational models they apply, what samples of good practices they develop and how to apply them in other schools. So, this proposal to Cooperation Partnership arises within the framework of the Erasmus + program, we intend to develop the internationalization strategies of each institution, sharing knowledge and experiences, developing new approaches to our teaching experience more adapted to the current reality, and creating ties with new peer schools that enable future collaborative and exchange actions. In short, giving an open and international dimension to our teaching, which our students are going to soak up.We seek a change in educational strategies, in the approach to daily activities and a change in mentality to become aware of the importance of addressing the care of the environment from all sectors, also from electricity and electronics. In this way we will ensure that our students, the future workers of the facilities and electro devices, apply that green approach to their professional activity, and we will do that from an international dimension. So, we have formed a group of VET schools from different parts of Europe. The Partnership is formed by six public Vocational schools with courses of Electricity and Electronics from different corners of Europe: Verkmenntaskólinn from Akureyri - Iceland as coordinator, IES Santa Lucía from Gran Canaria - Spain, , İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi from Istanbul - Turkey, Solski Center Celje from Celje - Slovenia, BMSZC Egressy Gábor Két Tanítási Nyelvű Technikum from Budapest - Hungary and Niekée Roermond from Roermond - Netherlands. All of them have good experience in collaborative work at an international level, are committed to the environment and in the training of electro ecologists, are open to new experiences and to introduce in their teaching practice the strategies that are addressed in this project and the resources produced .Partners are convinced that ELETRO ECO TEAM will be a story success, commitment and future.<< Objectives >>Convinced to raise awareness in VET electro students as future workers and change traditional teaching methods to include an eco friendly approach, we have set the project objectives. These are goals consistent with the basic idea of the project and commit to all partners for a real change. These are our basic objectives:- To raise awareness among students of the impact of climate change on the planet and the importance of acting also from a professional level.- To develop a set of mini technical projects in an international environment, with a sustainable and environmental approach, which will be transferable to partner schools and other educational environments.- To learn and work together with other EU students as their future colleagues will allow trainers to learn from each other, to be creative, to identify innovative approaches and good practices and transfer them to their everyday practices at work.- To create and share a set of teaching strategies, organizative models and samples of best practices ready to apply in any educational enviroment.- To establish new alliances between peer schools, in the European space, for collaborative work in this project and for future collaborations.- To integrate all students, even those with fewer opportunities, in the different areas in which they participate: educational, professional and social, as a way to integrate them into the society in which they live.- To train good quality trainees/workers with international knowledge, skills and competence-base, relevant to work life. That will increase their employability not only in the national but also in the European labour market. Besides, this will set up the frame for their lifelong learning.- To know the diversity and technological, cultural and social reality of different countries and feel closer Europe.And we are sure that the implementation of this project will see a change in the attitude and mentality of students and teachers, knowing new environments and experiences, and opening minds to new possibilities<< Implementation >>In order to guarantee the correct development of the project and its implementation, it is essential that a deep coordination among all the partners.We will hold two transnational meetings for coordination and monitoring the implementation of the project. The first of these meetings will be the kick off meeting that will officially start the activities of the project. The second coordination meeting will carry out an in-depth analysis of the development of the project in the middle of its implementationWithin the frame of the project we will hold SIX international meetings, one in each of the partner schools, for LTT activities. Each of these meetings will be the implementation laboratory for the main activities of the project, with workshops and mini technical projects with an electro sustainable approach to be developed by students in an international environment (collaborative work and mutual learning), with presentation of organizational models, educational strategies and samples of good practices presented by each host school. We will meet the work culture and the potential of the host city in sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental care. The protagonists of the project will be the teachers and students of the partner institutions, including those participants with fewer opportunities, as a commitment to an inclusive project. Everyone will collaborate fairly in a cooperative work experience to achieve the objectives and results designed in this projectThis international activity will be accompanied by the implementation of different educational activities and strategies at the local level. This action must be perceived in the daily development of teaching activities and in the attitude of teachers and students.We also have designed a plan to ensure smooth communication between participants and project institutions and a comprehensive evaluation plan that monitors the development of activities, detects potential difficulties and proposes appropriate corrective measures to faithfully adjust to the designed project.In addition, what has been learned and experienced in the framework of this project will be disseminated in the widest environment of each school, as well as at the regional, national and international levels.<< Results >>The implementation of the project will produce benefits for participants, for students and staff, and for partner institutions.We expect on students:- Enhancement of their professional qualification, teamwork and social competence,- Improvement of their intercultural competence and European citizenship awareness,- A better understanding of the European labour market,- Improved EU employability by mobility reference (Europass mobility document)- Engaging in Lifelong Learning.- Personal growth.- We expect a general change in the attitude of electro vocational students, showing greater interest for innovation and improvement, caring for the environment also from the professional world of electricity and electronics, and promoting a more sustainable work activity.We expect on staff, trainers and teachers:- Enhancement of their professional, teamwork, project management and social competence,- Knowledge of new implementations of eco strategies such and innovative practices in VET to apply in their school, classroom or workshop.- Improved understanding of EU educational systems and Electrics and Electronics curricula in the EU.- Improvement of their intercultural competence and European citizenship awareness.- Engaging in Lifelong Learning.- Personal growth.- We also expect as a result of this project a general improvement in the quality of teaching practice in our schools by including new strategies that focus on Electricity and electronics with an approach of sustainability and environmental care.- A set of practical activities and mini-projects on sustainable electricity and electronics will be obtained, which are applicable in regular classes and workshops activities of our schools and others of our environment to which it will be spread.- A set of educational and teaching strategies, organizational models and best practices, proposed by each partner school, based on their own experience, which can be applied in other schools and educational environments. We will also get experiences in the organization of internships for students and the relationship between the school and the company.We expect on partner institutions:- Wider and deeper insight and comprehension of the EU VET systems.- Strengthened partnership with stakeholders at the regional, national and international level.- Transfer of innovative/good practice from partners and therefore improvement of the quality of their VET.- Possibility for harmonizing and improving electro curriculum.- New knowledge and extensive experience in project management.- More competent teachers/trainers, involved in Lifelong Learning and a sustainable vision of Electricity and electronics.- New elements for promoting schools and VET.- Increased reputation in the region, nation-wide and in EU.The impact of project actions on schools will be measured from the beginning of the activities, in the medium and long term, with continuous evaluation by partner schools.

"CONTEXT : The main reason for this project is the need to make more efficient the educative methodologies and techniques throught the exchange of ideas and good practices. The project will develop new methodologies for learning and teaching, which are complementary to traditional education, even to current training on competencies and skills. It will incorporate new teaching strategies for entrepreneurship as horizontal competencies, incorporating a model to include in regular curricula which will stimulate creativity, innovation, interest and dynamism.
