The project “Transferring Our Cultural Heritage To The Next Generations By Peer Learning” is a School Exchange Partnerships, between Turkey (coordinator), Bulgaria, France, Portugal and Romania, addressed to 100 students from 12th to 17th years old, at least 10 of them being with fewer opportunities, that will benefit from the 5 learning/teaching/training activities within the project.The motivation of it was given by the fact that we are losing our traditions, as a result of globalization, migration and isolation in a digital world. We were also motivated by the need for students, from different age group, to collaborate in order to prevent bullying and violence in schools, as well as their need in self-satisfaction related to the teaching and learning process. The priorities of our project are: social and educational value of European cultural heritage; supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences; promoting a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning. We aim at achieving 3 objectives by the end of august 2021: obtain at least 5 handicrafts traditional products; have at least 100 students that have learned about foreign folklore and have at least 20 younger students that have benefited from peer-learning in language and IT learning, as well as in cultural heritage knowledge. The tangible results will be: 32 educational videos, 1 audio book, in 6 languages, 1 riddles and rhymes book, in 6 languages, 5 folk tales, 5 ballads, 5 fairy tales, 5 local legends, 5 folk songs, 5 folk dances, 5 folk arts or handicrafts, 5 local superstitions, 5 urban legends, 40 PPTs showing different activities, 15 workshops, 5 film projections, 5 reading on roles demonstrations, 5 you tube films showing the folk dances, 1 questionnaire.The intangible results will be: promoting and teaching traditional handicrafts, cultural heritage exchange, increasing the students' awareness regarding the importance of ones' culture and traditions, creating a sense of achievement in students and developing self-confidence via peer-learning, developing cooperative learning, strengthening the relationships between students, increasing the level of tolerance and awareness towards different cultures, developing moral values, improving social and communication skills, discovering different solutions to prevent bullying at school, developing IT, artistic and practical competences, increasing the school visibility and prestige, stimulating the interest towards the Erasmus + program.

The sustainability of the project will be ensured e-Twining, website, face book and the European Project Results Platform, where our products will be published as open didactic resources. Some of the materials created during the project can be useful during classes (literature, English, technologies, music) or clubs organized inside the school, while the intangible results, such as the competences, abilities and attitudes developed through the activities of the project will make students and teacher more aware of the importance of life long learning and more interested in self-growth, participating in future cooperation with foreign schools, on e-twining or in another Erasmus+ projects.

With our project “We shape our future” we want to actively participate in the positive transformation of our world for its people, nature and prosperity. We want to strengthen universal peace and want to raise awareness that inequality and poverty are the greatest global challenge. We want to work with our students towards the goals of Agenda 2030 because only with collective participation we can shift the world onto a fair and sustainable path. We need to get students to take over responsibility for the world’s future.Especially after the coronavirus pandemic, we have to reshape our world and our daily lives and the goals of Agenda 2030 are the best tools to use in order to promote a new awareness. European schools and young people have a central role to play if we want to foster international solidarity and a new concept of citizenshipThe project “We shape our future” is accomplished by five schools (GER, BG, IT, SP, HR). In this project we want to empower our students to actively take part in shaping a sustainable future. With our project we want to focus on the values that lie in diversity, equal opportunities, sustainability and well-being.We bring our creativity and work force together to create material for activities, so that fellow students and the local community will get involved in our process to shape our future. We will explore the impact of non sustainability on oneself, our own family and friends, our own future plans, the neighbourhood, city and the planet. We ask and answer the questions of how students can contribute in their daily life. We discuss the impact of inequalities in our daily lives (e.g. gender gap, health inequalities) and research on different kind of diversity and inequalities. We create material to raise awareness and share it. We plan activities/events and perform them. We build international contacts.We have decided to focus on five goals of Agenda 2030: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Reduce inequality within and among countries. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Of course, we also have the focus on quality education, peace, justice and strong institutions and a strong and reliable partnership.In working on an intellectual topic, students build up awareness. In creating material, they take over responsibility. In exchanging experience, they practice communication and in planning and performing activities for others they experience their impact. All these steps will lead them to seeing the chances of participating for a better world.At the respective schools we prepare (learning) material for activities and events that will first be carried out at the own school. Then we exchange materials and experience so that the partner schools can carry out the same event. In the second year we want to bring our events to the next level and cooperate with out-of-school organisations in school and out of school. We want to collaborate on a local and regional level. We want to try a new concept for the international meetings. We will meet for three small workshop meetings with 10-18 participants, while we want to organize two big workshop meetings for 80 students. We believe that getting more students together in a meeting can have a synergetic effect on networking, friendships and the involvement back home. The big meetings will not take place at the schools but in a remote group accommodation to give all students much time together and the students of the hosting country the opportunity to stay with the guests. Travelling students will be aged 13-16. Everybody will improve their English language skills. The host will care for arrangements whereas the guests will organize and offer the workshops.In Italy media experts help us with the concept of later media results. In Spain students get the opportunity of helping in an organization that works towards reducing inequality. In Bulgaria we focus on health living. In Germany we focus on the impact of our consumption on our environment and students learn about the healthy impact of fresh food. In Croatia we will work with a video-making expert so that we finally will have a promotion video for our goals.On a long-term basis, students of all partner schools improve their language skills, their awareness of healthy lifestyle, the value of equal opportunities, the value of diversity and the conditions of sustainability. In general, this project is a great opportunity to combine digital, physical and intellectual abilities as well as language skills. The overall objective is the development of continuous learning in a European collaborative environment with positive effects on the relation among the community in order to form a strong personality of the teenagers

"""Be Enthusiastic, Search the Treasure"" (BEST) is a project aimed to extend the horizons of students' minds, make them more tolerant, and empathetic. In our digital reality when students are getting more addicted to their gadgets and less physically active this project is a great opportunity to combine them and show the students the other point of view. They will learn how to use digital tools in a real situations. Hunt can be done physically or virtually (if the weather doesn't allow us to do our outdoor activities). During the projects, a lot of activities will be done.The project is focused on a main activity which is a treasure hunt including other related tasks. The target group is students at the age 14 to 16. The main reasons to chose this target group are that students are fluent enough in English language. They are curious, adventurous and enthusiastic. They will have to use their reasoning abilities, thinking skills, and by working in group, they will improve foreign language knowledge and IT competence. During the development of the game students will produce the hunt themselves and will choose both historical place- a monument, buildings, ruins and place with geographical importance-mountain, river, cave, which will be the object of treasure hunting. The participants has to do surveys on the project's topic and prepare any sort of game/task such as games, art crafts, PPT presentations, mysteries, clues, puzzles, posters, photos, quizzes. They will operate using google earth, and all the 2.0 web tools, emails in order to use it later as a print screen as a verification part. In this way they can improve their digital competence. During this activity they will do tasks that will help them to get in touch with other cultures, learning languages, nature, communicative skills. They will surf the internet to get info about local legends, tourist destination, historical events and figures. Every country will prepare two treasure hunts, connected with geographical and historical place. When the students visit that country, they will have to hunt and find ""the Treasure"". They will follow the clues and go hunting in chosen area. This will force the students to know more about cultures of the different members of the project. The students have be divided into mixed teams. Some tests can be done in advance to allocate students in proper group. In each team there will be students from different countries, so that they can know better and exchange experience and knowledge. That is a great opportunity for them to train and improve their language skills. So during the students mobility (mobility will happen in six countries) apart from searching the treasure, they will do surveys, presentations, share experiences, be physically active, work in team. Some tests can be used to allocate students in proper group. Students’ performances will be organized during each mobility. Treasure hunting for teachers will be organised once an year.The supporting activities will be ""Test your country"" evening, Picture hunting and Filming. During the visits every country has to choose and present some typical local dishes and introduce them to the other participants. As a result a cookery book will be created. The BEST website logo and motto will be chosen among the best students productions at the beginning of the project. In every school an Erasmus corner will be created.The other outputs will be "" Treasure e-book” and a calendar. During mobility every team will take some photos of landscapes and historical places. The competition will be organised and the best photos will be chosen by voting in our e Twinning page. The best pictures will be published in our Erasmus picture hinting calendar.7 All activities will be filmed and the film will be released in Internet-You tube and e Twinning Project results page.8. We are going to make a virtual Treasure e-book, contains all Treasures, found and registered during the projects activities. There will be six project meetings divided into 2 groups. As our activities are mainly outdoor activities, the weather condition is very important. Due to that fact we suggest our meetings to be in this order.First year of the project October 2019-SpainMarch 2020 -ItalyMay 2020 –The UKSecond year October-2020 Latvia March 2021 Greece The final meeting in coordinator country -Bulgaria May 2021.There will be commission for the management and assessment of the project. The final products and materials will be uploaded in Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, so that our project's work will be available for wider audience and will be an inspirations to the other schools. We will share our experience in a Monitoring meeting organized by our National Agency ."

"<< Background >>Each invididual does not choose in which country to be born, but we were all born with the same opportunities, and how we respect nature depends only on us. From our desire for a better and clean life, from the effort to leave traces in our life path, which show the development of our personal qualities, but also the growth of our spirit through voluntary act .Through this project we want to teach our students that we will achieve this only if we have self-knowledge and a tendency to experiment - you need to know who you are, what you are good at, what your values ​​are, what are your powers on nature, on our common earth. 2019 and 2020 were among the warmest years ever recorded and carbon dioxide levels and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue increasing despite Coronavirus demanded a stop in many polluting activities.Climate changes due to pollution are affecting every country on every continent. They are disrupting national economies and affecting people's lives. Although the big powers of the world meet to take decisions in order to lower greenhouse gas emissions, their resolutions are far from being realized now and are only temporary. Climate changes are not on pause.The UN proposed six climate-positive actions for governments to take:Green transition: Investments must accelerate the decarbonization of our economy.Green jobs and sustainable and inclusive growth.Green economy through a transition that is fair to all and leaves no one behind.Invest in sustainable solutions: fossil fuel subsidies must end and polluters must pay for their pollution.Confront all climate risks.Cooperation: no country can succeed alone.The target group will consist of teachers and students from our schools and other schools, local communities and wider communities who will participate in the dissemination activities.Through this project, we will make our students take the first step not only towards their own clean future, but also towards the well-being of the community, and to do so with faith and conviction. ""Take the first step in faith. It's not important to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step"", Martin Luther King.<< Objectives >>All partner countries are touched by a common emergency: climate changes.The state of the environment depends on each one of us and directly affects our life and health. Most people deal superficially with this aspect of their lives, which increases the process of pollution and destruction of the environment, which means destroying the health of each one of us. Our purpose is to educate students to respect the environment, to develop a desire to live in a clean, healthy environment. Finding solutions to solve environmental problems and improve environmental quality are increasingly difficult goals to achieve.The latest EU environmental legislation is the 7th Environment Action Programme (EAP). But are we sure all of us are following rules?In this project, we will attract around 300 students between the ages of 14 and 19 and 25 teachers from European secondary schools to give them the opportunity to get to know each other, play, work and collaborate as an international team. Our priority is to ensure that no young person is abandoned and that everyone enjoys equal opportunities, the right to a clean world and air, equally, without discrimination or barriers and that everybody follows rules: the rules given by nature and the rules given by common sense.Our main objectives are directly related to the following pre-defined Erasmus + axes: -Inclusion and diversity in all fields of education-Addressing digital transformation through the development of digital readinesssustainability and capacity-Development of key competencesThe objectives of the project:•To use digital resources and create learning products•To learn good practices•To talk and communicate with people, trying to show them good practices with the enthusiasm and joy of youth•To create opportunities for young people to learn what trust, communication, successful leadership, problem solving and self-confidence are, things that cannot be learnt from textbooks•To accumulate life experience through contact with partners, with European material and cultural phenomena.•To disseminate project results at local, regional, national, international level to inspire the others. Participation in this project is a great opportunity for our students and teachers, because they will share experiences, learnt from each other and together, will exchange ideas and good practises, will overcome language barriers, will develop skills and competences, they will meet people from other cultures and religions and they will be better adapted.Students will develop critical and analytical thinking skills, will develop interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork, negotiation and organizational skills.They will learn values such as tolerance, respect and acceptance of people from different countries and of people who have a different culture. If they develop their social and personal skills, increase their self-confidence and self-esteem, our goals will be achieved.Teachers will have the opportunity to exchange good practices, ideas and teaching methods.The institutions will strengthen their cooperation with other European schools and gain more experience in carrying out Erasmus + projects.Schools will benefit from better relationships between teachers and students, between teachers and parents and are likely to lead to better coherence within the organization and will continue to cooperate with partner institutions through other projects that will be inspired from our project.Based on the questionnaires at the beginning and end of the project, surveys and evaluation of project activities before and after each LTT, we will assess whether the project objectives have been met. We will compare the results of the two questionnaires to obtain feedback on the achievement of our project objectives, to evaluate the involvement, interest and satisfaction of students.The questionnaires will be analyzed and discussed by the participating students and teachers.<< Implementation >>All the activities are shown in the Timetable. In particular, Turkey will show how to make a wholly recycled material dress, which will be recorded in the third part of our common video; Italy, will realize a documentary video showing consequences of unlawful common actions and show how to practically work together to help the planet and will make the final part of the video with subtitles in 6 languages.Germany will realize a booklet with instructions on methods to produce renewable energy in 6 languages. Bulgaria will realize a fashion show gathering all the dresses made by all the partners' students.Spain will realize a recipe book in 6 languages.Romania will realize a virtual album with photos of nature with captions in 6 languages.During all the LTT, students will be shown how to fill in a Europass cv. They will follow workshops on renewable energy and visit a wind mill in Germany. Tney will visit a waste to energy plant in Italy. They wil learn how to do organic meals in Romania and Spain. How to collect materials and separate them and how to create fashion dresses in Turkey and Bulgaria.In order to achieve the goals of the project, we established 1 transnational meeting for associates-coordinators and directors and 6 international meetings / LTT / 6 subprojects, which will be implemented by all the participants, communication sessions, evaluations, disseminations. The activities will take place both at home and in an international environment. Thus, the participants will acquire skills, knowledge and attitudes, which they will use both in their countries and abroad, because they will have a better understanding and awareness of both contexts, on the topics covered by our project.Students will develop critical and analytical thinking skills, will develop interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork, negotiation and organizational skills.They will learn values such as tolerance, respect and acceptance of people from different countries and of people who have a different culture.Teachers will have the opportunity to exchange good practices, ideas and teaching methods.The institutions will strengthen their cooperation with other European schools and gain more experience in carrying out Erasmus + projects.We aspect the project to produce both tangible and intangible results.Tangible results: Our main outcomes will be e-book. An e-book with all teaching materials is the final product that can be used as teaching or reference material by partner schools in the future. It will be created throughout the project, in different phases and will be a coherent unit of our work. The e-book will include: 1. Project logo -link2. Project Website -link3. The e-Twinning project 4. collection of teaching materials used during the project, students from each country 5. collection of videos containing the results of the activities. each school will upload them to their school's YouTube channel 6. collection of lesson plans prepared according to the innovative lesson plan model that develops different forms of learning outcomes 7. collection of questionnaires and evaluation / evaluation forms 8. Promotional posters, brochures, videos made throughout the project 9. Analysis of the surveys that will be completed by the participating students after each mobility 10. Webinars and online meetings 11. Online articles after each LTTA 12. Students videos in You TubeIntangible results:- communication and language results: a passage for English from a B1 to B2 level QCER in relation to the initial level- development of skills in the field of ecological volunteering- several languages on eTwinning- to facilitate the intercultural dialogue between the participating schools<< Results >>The impact envisaged is showing that a smart and conscious use of resources at local level can make the change at international level.Students and teachers will communicate using eTwinning platform before the planned visit and schedule all important details for the meeting. They will preparePowerPoint presentations, tutorials and material needed for making a calendar. Such way of communication will also improve digital competence of students andteachers.Teachers will also hold video conferences via eTwinning, Skype or Google + in order to organise all activities before the meeting takes place.In the school we will try to fulfil all planned activities from our Module using different teaching methods and learning skills. Through our planned activities studentswill broaden their horizons, develop intercultural understanding, discover cultural heritage of the country they visited and partner schools. Since all students willhave to speak in English they will also strengthen their communication skills and develop confidence in oral and written form performances. They will have tocollaborate with other students on different tasks (workshop, practical tasks, tutorials, performances) and in such way develop interpersonal skills andcompetences.Teachers will gain insight in different teaching and learning techniques as well as strategies that might be implemented in schools and awoke student’s interest innon-formal education.The students will get to know other countries, their culture, improve their language skills and maybe develop friendships for a whole life. Some of the studentsmight get involved in researching more about different cultures. Students will have more respect not just for their own culture but also for the others. The project will help students broaden their horizons not just on cultural level but also awake social awareness to people in needed. Students will exchange experiences and effective teaching techniques. They will become responsible European citizens and get actively involved in the society. Through participating in this project students will:- improve language skills and communication competence- improve their digital competence and ESL proficiency- improve their capacity of working in team- improve knowledge of social needs and cultural differences among EU countries- improve their social awareness for people in need- promote inclusion and dissemination"

We implemented 'The Wise and Eco-Friendly Consumer' project with a focus on consumerism and environmentalism. We investigated cause-effect relationships between the two concepts. For this reason, we have thoroughly examined all of the activities that we have implemented, why our target audience, preschool children and young people, are directed to consume so much and the environmental damages caused by consumption. We received information presentations from experts on this issue. It has emerged by sharing our experiences in the transnational project meetings with the project leaders, where there are changes in the participants' view of life in every mobility and dissemination of this project. The relationship between nature and human is important for our project. The love of nature and the information that we need to protect the nature of the mobility of our project have been imposed on the participants' consciousness. The participants realized that excessive consumption caused too much harm to themselves and the environment, began to make wise choices about consumption and to try to improve the quality of the environment in which they live. Our participants used social media effectively with their shared awareness videos on this subject. And we continue to share on our facebook page. We provided financial trainings to our target groups in our Italian mobility, and gave information presentations on how to manage personal budgets and time, evaluate the quality of goods and services, and learn about the rights of consumers. We have set up our 3R recycling and sharing room that we have organized in each partner school and have organized it together. We have tried to deliver the products in each partner school's 3R recycling room to individuals in need with different applications and we will continue to use this recycling room. In order to change our consumption habits, we carried out studies on a different consumption issue in each activity. Today, we aim to instill the love of nature for our young people who give more importance to technology. With our hobby garden event, we put responsibilities on the youth. We have given the task of protecting the fruit trees we planted together and transferring them to new generations. We also visited local factories every time we mobilized. In this way, the students observed the stages of a product before it came to our table and the difficulties of producing it. Our goal was to see the difficulties in the production phase and to think again when consuming. We believe that when our participating students set up their own companies in the future, they will remember these experiences and shape their lives accordingly. After Erasmus + “LET'S PEDAL”, “I HAVE A DREAM” and THE THE WISE AND ECO-FRIENDLY CONSUMER projects, the institutional relationship between our schools became stronger. And together we prepared 'EAT RIGHT BE LIGHT' project. Together we will perform our work finds contributing to the European education system and Turkey education system.
