We are 4 partners, 2 Romanian, 1 Greek and 1 French (coordinating country). We contacted each other through the Etwinning platform and created a whapsap group. Our project is the realization of an educational garden using different techniques such as permaculture, organic... and a cookbook with recipes from the 3 countries and related to the vegetables grown in the gardens. The objectives are : To fight against school failure and avoid the risk of dropping out, to open up towards other horizons, to go beyond our borders by creating virtual exchanges with Etwinning, exchanges of e-mails and physical exchanges with the mobilities. To restore a taste for foreign languages and to approach learning in a different way with a different pedagogy. All the disciplines taught must find their place in this project. Pupils are between 13 and 15 years old. Some of them are failing at school and are on the verge of dropping out. They need to be re-motivated so that they find the desire to stay in class or, for some, to go back to school. This discovery of the world will allow them to open up to a wide range of possibilities for internships abroad and to accept a job in another country more easily or simply to travel. To carry out this project we will work with the 4 partners together with regular exchanges of our practices and pedagogies. We are going to adapt our courses according to our partners to have a coherence in the project. Virtual meetings will be held to make regular assessments. A real exchange will be created between the pupils but also a partnership between the teachers. During the trips, each country will organize visits and activities related to the theme. The acquisition of interpersonal and intercultural skills is a major challenge for the school of tomorrow, with a view to active, thoughtful and responsible participation in social life as a future good citizen. The sharing of experiences and the synergy of all the members of an educational community - teaching and educational staff, pupils, families, not forgetting external partners such as elected representatives and associations operating in the territory - represent the most effective strategy for achieving all these objectives and consolidating a common sense of belonging in a European dimension. The partners in this project shared these convictions in order to accompany the pupils in a process of reflection on sustainable development and ecology, with particular attention to the immediate environment where the pupils live. Indeed, this leads to raising awareness of respect for the environment based on the specific case of the school, in order to build a shared social and civic awareness.

The organization of the education(teaching) by discipline leads(infers) at many pupil's a difficulty binding(connecting) the learnings(apprenticeships) realized in each of them. The education(teaching) of the mathematics remains even today that of an isolated, very sour(turned) discipline on herself(itself), little worried about interactions with the other domains. The transfer of the knowledge is not made. The work in interdisciplinarity should favor him(it). To give meaning to the taught mathematical concepts is an objective of the project, by showing their use in situations met by the pupils. During the learning(apprenticeship) of a mathematical notion, round trips between situations allowing to study the notion for herself(itself) and other situations putting the same notion in position of tool produce sense(direction) for the pupils and contribute to his(her,its) elaboration. An interdisciplinary approach seems interesting for all the pupils, for stronger reason for the underachieving students, as far as it gives meaning to the approached mathematical notions. The experience of the interdisciplinarity at the school brings capital gains to the pupils: - develop the cognitive equipment of the pupils: operate links, mobilize knowledge - Build and give meaning to the disciplines - conjugate the disciplines in the service of an objective of learning - build an object complexe:prendre consciousness of the complexity, learn to arrest an object give a complex - develop and exercise transverse skills: capacity to analyze, to interpret, to synthesize, to operate links When the results of the last investigation PISA reveal an increase of the disparities in numerous European countries between pupils in the mathematical domain, it seems to us essential to get down to this problem. And for it, it seems essential to cross our looks of teachers, to exchange on our professional practices in this domain and to imagine together new ways to be explored. Our approaches and our teaching methods in mathematics are intimately bound to the history and to the culture of our countries. It is up to us to analyze them to develop them mutually. We wish to favor collaborative activities between the various schools. Every partner will be invited to produce works in the various themes to share them and present them, but also propose very precise challenges to the other partners. We also envisage the possibility of developing works in several hands according to constraints defined to finalize a choreography with mathematical constraints where every partner will imagine a part. To optimize the crossing of the mathematics with the other disciplines, we shall work according to themes so defined: - mathematics and Arts (visual arts, music, dance, architecture) - mathematics and Sport (sports games(sets) to be imagined, measure of performances, realization of challenges coopétitifs with implementation of granted handicaps, orienteering race) - mathematics and study of the language(tongue) (creation of poetries, mathematical riddles, to learn to understand(include) a text math, elaboration of books(pounds) to be counted, of mathematical challenges for the partners) - mathematics and sciences in the nature (observation of mathematical phenomena in the nature, the analysis of data, organized by breedings, by plantations, initiation into the coding and into the IT programming with the creation of a video game) - mathematics and citizenship Mathematics and history(story) (study the various systems of numeration, the former(old) various measuring instruments, the conception(design) and the realization of traditional games(sets)) - mathematics and geography (organization and structuring of the space, the scales(ladders) of card(map), realization of polls(soundings) with management of data concerning the life of our schools, our countries, realization of route(course), education in the sustainable development by the participation in a challenge of schools in the positive energies) - mathematics to the everyday life(daily paper) The interest will be to concern a mathematical look our environment and to clear(release) of it of problems. And it is by this way(bias) that we shall make discover to the certain partners aspects of our cultures. The impacts waited on the pupils participating in the project are: - Develop the desire for the mathematics - Improve the skills in mathematics - Make them active in their learnings(apprenticeships) and help them to establish links between the various materials(subjects) (interdisciplinarity). - Bring them to become young adults, aware(conscious) of their membership in Europe, having developed attitudes constructive citizens who will allow them to become actors of their future. - bigger control(master's degree) of ICTS(INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES) to the everyday life(daily paper) in the life of the classes for the search(research), the presentation(display) and the communication of the works.

The original concept comes from cooperation between the several languages taught in a school and aims to improve linguistic and communication skills. After an analysis of the needs, we agreed on a concrete and realistic objective which should build on a general, open and European environment in which the various partners could exchange and share their methods and “good practices” by using innovative and efficient tools. Our association has been developed thanks to e-twinning and has five members: primary or elementary educational centers. The profiles of the partners are very different and depend on their geographical location, the size of the educational centre, the school population and their experience with European projects.Two of them are located in an urban area (the coordinating school and the Greek school) whereas the three other schools come from a rural sector (the French, Italian and Rumanian centers).Moreover, some of the educational institutions are very big such as the Italian educational center which receives about 800 students whereas the French one only has 200.The social, cultural and economical environment is also highly varied: families from the Spanish school enjoy a relatively high standard of living while in Greece and France, the background is more modest.Finally, our association has two centers which have already an experience with European projects so they could help and orientate the other members.The idea behind our project is to elaborate a cultural diary of all the activities carried out that aims to improve oral and written linguistic and communication skills. The proposed activities are categorized depending on their complexity which evolves with the level of the students.To start the partnership, each educational center will make a presentation of itself and a competition will be organized to determine the logo for the project. To unify the project, all the classes will describe a national work of art. Then, all levels will realize an activity about textual classification: the riddle for cycle 1, the comic and self the description for cycle 2 and the redaction of a press article and a travel guide for cycle 3. Those fields of activity will get in the construction of a board game that will be proposed to partner schools during students’ exchanges. Each mobility trip will be realized in a different country and will enable students to discover the host city in a playful way and to put into practice the new linguistic skills at the same time.The methodology employed is based on the cooperation between the partner centers and the mutualisation of the pedagogies thanks to Skype and the platform e-twinning especially. Teachers will benefit from the strengths of all educational centers and will share their methods and experiences in order to get the best language teaching practices.The planned outcomes are: the elaboration of a cultural diary, the creation of a blog and the realization of a museum. These productions aim to improve the students’ communication skills, introduce new teaching methods, develop a European collaboration and build strong bonds between the partner centers in order to keep organizing exchanges when the funding of the project ends. This project will enable the students to develop an awareness of the multiculturalism of the world around them and to make more concrete the European citizenship.With this project and thanks to their interactions, teachers from the different centers will share methods and gain from each other’s experience. That way, they will bring a collaborative spirit to their establishment and will work toward a common goal.Moreover, families’ implication in the activities will open the project to a local community.In conclusion, in the long run, the expected benefits of this project are: a cultural openness to Europe for students, the possibility to maintain the relationships with the partners when the funding ends, the improvement of language teaching methods and the continuity of the member countries’ cooperation through the Information and communications technologies.
