"This has been a fascinating project be involved in. Initially there were hushed concerns about motivating students to engage with Shaesperean texts and that this might be a challenge. How wrong could we have been? Because we focused upon themes running through Shaksperean texts that are common with young people and being European it meant that ALL participants, both students and staff, were entering an arena where they had a voice and could use that to discuss issues common to us all. It soon became clear that as well as the initial drivers for this project which are mentioned later in the report, there were going to be some very potent and powerful unintended outcomes that had a significant impact on all participants. I should like to explore some of these here.Partner school teachers from mainland europe have been introduced to a dynamic set of exploratory and creative drama strategies that can be used effectively across most areas of the curriculum. An approach which was shown to be very enjoyable and highly motivational. These will continue to be developed over time.Pupils have been equipped with many transferable skills to prepare them for the world of employment. There has been a great emphasis on co-operation and collaboration in order to achieve desired outcomes. Often, individuals and groups will have had to make difficult decisions about content, ways forward or the ways in which people are working and how effective that is. These are very much people skills, but highly delicate, quite sensitive and something which many adults struggle with on occasion.The schools in the partnership, through the exploration of the themes in these Shaksperean texts, have helped both pupils and teachers to become more active citizens in their own communities and at a European level. The European identity is the result of both European history and culture. This project, in each of the explorative stages with both students and teachers, sought clarification of this identity and has led to a much better understanding of what we have in common as Europeans, in spite of national borders and cultural differences. It has also enabled all of those involved to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of other cultures, but perhaps more importantly, to look at the strengths and weaknesses of their own culture. As the future of Europe will one day be in their hands a much greater understanding and awareness of such issues is a pre requisite to ensure a strong European Community. This was particularly enlightening for the UK participants in view of the current challenges facing the UK.All participants, but particularly pupils have become more aware of the opportunities provided by Europe in order to realize their dreams and aspirations. This has been achieved through entrepreneurship (in its broadest sense), a focus and development of literacy and an awareness of what it 'means' to be a European citizen. These have been unintended but powerful drivers that have risen to the surface as we have gone through the project.The project has helped pupils to prepare for life in a mixed Europe, with its mixture of influences culturally, socially and religiously. It has helped them to improve both their spoken and written English in a most enjoyable way. This has come about through the insistence from the outset for participants to work in mixed international teams. In doing so it has raised their self-confidence and promoted tolerance with sensitivity. This has then led to an understanding for the need to eliminate prejudice and the importance for communities to live in peace and harmony. When you have a Danish student tell you ""This is the most I've ever learned in a week."", or ""I've NEVER spoken so much English."" or a parent tell you ""I've seen my child change this week."" Then you know you are dealing with something that is really transformative.Both pupils and teachers have been entrepreneuring in their approaches to solutions to tasks and projects that have been set. Invention and creativity have been the hallmarks of the content of the Project Website Finding alternative ways to address an issue has been emphasised throughout. ICT skills have been used imaginatively throughout the project. Particularly so during the preparation before student mobilities and also during the week of a mobility including performance. The project has enabled teachers to compare their educational systems and discuss pedagogy. The chance to weigh up the merits of different systems and apply new ideas and approaches to their own work where possible has been invaluable. The exchange of ideas and the sharing of strategies and methodologies have left all staff involved inspired and motivated to pursue this work further.This has been an exciting project to be a part of with clear and visionary educational aims that have been addressed with energy and vitality by all participants at all levels of the process."

In the current situation all over the world there is significant evidence that there are serious problems of integration, social inclusion and obesity between young people.Sport is an important integration and educational tool for promoting social inclusion, culture understanding, human rights and competitiveness between young people in local societies.We strongly believe that sport as a common language can be used to integrate in the society and to promote together with education the values of tolerance, freedom, fair play, respect and many more. Sport is useful for breaking, promoting mutual understanding and inter-cultural dialogue and facilitating the process of social inclusion.The schools represent a perfect learning environment for young people to promote health and integration, this project wanted to be an answer to their needs in the European society.The objectives of the project are:· Turn our schools into an environment that promotes health and wellbeing to guarantee inclusion through easy healthy options. · Develop initiatives and offer options for physical activity in leisure time to promote physical activity among young students as a healthy tool for social inclusion.· Increase the routine of healthy food and enhance interest for physical activity in and out of schools.· Inform and train students to be protagonists in the setting up of their correct lifestyle.· Promote healthy diet by helping students to enjoy different tastes and different healthy foods. · Increase the students’ concentration levels throughout the school day thanks to a healthy nutrition balanced with physical activity.· Improve skills in foreign languages, mainly English· Motivate to learn to learn & lifelong learning· Enhance inclusion and social cohesion· Promote cooperation in European schools in order to exchange good practices to promote physical activity and healthy diet for students at school and outside school in their everyday life . Develop and collect materials for teacher training courses using physical activities and healthy food as inclusion toolsWe are dealing with an innovating project since:1. We are presenting our students as the real protagonists in the configuration of their life, since it is the only way they will adopt a lasting commitment for an active healthy lifestyle.2. The project fosters a stimulating atmosphere for autonomous learning and responsibility.3. Creativity is a must for each student during the project activities.4. Our project promotes collaboration between teachers and students, families and school.5. It also encourages students to be more responsible.6. Different members of the community become involved in the process: teachers, students, families, staff in general.All partners agree with the idea that the “sports and healthy food” enable us to enhance the achievement of traditional learning/teaching aims that have the consequence of better social inclusion and empower young people to manage properly their own life.All partners are going to be involved in all the steps of the project and all of them are going to do pilot activities at local and international level. All partners are going to collaborate in monitoring, evaluating and disseminating the results.During the two years' project and after it, these are the expected outcomes:For students:Increase of healthy commitments.Enhance of social inclusion Better eating habits Increase of awareness and capacity to manage a healthy diet Increase in the practice of physical activity in their free time Improvement of the level of physical activity and healthy food in our schools.A better knowledge of healthy ingredients, serving sizes and cooking methods by comparing our countries different customs.Decrease of consumption of sweetened beverages and processed food in our school canteens and vending machinesImprovement of foreign languages skills.Good practices to communicate in an international environmentImprovement in coding and developing apps for specific goals (ex. To calculate calories consumption) An international module about communication, values, traditions and culture of the participating countries in order to foster understanding, agree on common values will be shared during the project activities. The students will benefit from the use of different learning/teaching methodologies, improvement of their interests and skills in sports and healthy food. At the same time in scientific subjects, improvement of their adaptability to a new environment with different habits, traditions and language, improvement of problem solving capacity, creativity skills and critical thinking.For teachers and schools:-lesson plans -good practices tested at international level- enhancement of European dimension in the teaching/learning process

Education systems must generate new skills, to respond to the knowledge society and the need to improve education attainment. It is crucial to equip people with key competences, including the basic skills: good communication in mother tongue and foreign languages and digital abilities.Technological change is one reason for the shift towards higher skills. Demand for problem-solving, coding and communication skills has risen.The project aims to develop the young people’s key competences in communication, mathematics and digital, plus encourage pupils to think about good digital deeds that they can do safely, whilst considering the need for a positive personal online footprint. It is clear in schools that the students engage with the online world at an increasing rate but the face to face contact and verbal discussion is weaker. This work will develop their understanding of speaking a common language and listening and reacting positively to different cultures, therefore improving co-operation and cohesion. The two schools involved in the partnership have pupils coming from families belonging to a medium-low social economical background. The pupils' experiences outside the immediate area, the opportunities of travel and knowledge of other cultures are very limited. The pupils unfortunately cannot see the use of modern foreign languages in their limited context, therefore are not motivated to develop language skills. The current economic status of European countries is affecting the employment opportunities of both sets of pupils. The target group for this project will be students 14-16 years old, with 15 from each school being offered the opportunity to travel; whilst many more have access to the resources, lessons and project results. The project will offer a chance to improve their social level and move up the social ladder.This project will allow pupils to experience the commonality of ICT content across two different schools, whilst developing new computing skills They will experience different teaching strategies and they will use foreign languages in a full immersion context, in concrete situations of learning and of ordinary life. The project will use coding and programming in a foreign language together with role play, alongside the theory in practice. The enhancement of communication skills will be enriched together with the knowledge. The students will be asked to write algorithms in both languages.The groups of pupils will, hopefully as a result of this project, improve their skills in foreign languages, problem solving, coding, critical thinking and ICT, whilst developing their knowledge of other Education system, culture, habits, communication and e-safety. The staff will improve their professional and languages skills, increase their professional developments and develop skills in the learning/teaching process of foreign languages and ICT.An important product of the project will be a booklet done by students about how to grow up through positive and constructive results in communication skills, digital competences and e-safety to be use in peer to peer activities. Also the students will generate a portfolio of simple programs and algorithms using coding and foreign languages.The teachers will disseminate the results of the project during whole school training events, staff meetings and conferences at local, national and international level. At school level, all pupils will engage with the end product, plus the partnership staff will be users of the outcome of the project, at local level and be shared at international level by newsletter or websites. After the two years of the project, we plan to maintain the availability of the open sources in the platforms.
