The advent of XXI century, the globalization of society and the introduction of innovative technologies led to a meaningful change of the roles of schools, teachers and educators. In fact, as Internet and mass media offer all the information available to the community, the role of teachers, instructors and mentors is changing shape. In particular, schools are the first environment where the talents and potentialities of the new generations are inspired, recognized and developed. However, today old methods and curricula seem to be still the basis of a large number of schools in different countries. Rigid books, inflexible subdivision of subjects and timetables, meticulous organization of study units are defining the school as “a fundamental support to self-learning through the text” (Serres 2012: XX). Conversely, the proposal of new methods and teaching strategies is outdating the idea of a frontal lesson with a centralized teacher and promoting students as individuals with unique attitudes, inclinations, levels of attention, preparations, emotions and approaches to the subjects. The analysis of the current situation inspired four schools from four countries, that is Italy, Greece, Spain and Turkey, to start a 24-month-cooperation for the realization of a project entitled E.R.U.D.I.T.I.O.N., that will be funded by Erasmus+ program of the European Commission. The main goal of the project is the definition, implementation and dissemination of a method for the teaching of English Language based on the analysis and the comparison of curricula and methods grounded in different countries and the experimentation of alternative educational techniques. The main goal is structured in four smaller objectives, one for each target group of the project: - The involvement of 120 students from 4 countries in developing and implementing a method for learning English Literature based on active participation, cooperation and intercultural exchange. -The cooperation and the exchange of practices of 4 teachers from 4 countries for the realization of a method for the teaching of English Literature shaped on the needs, on the individuality of each student and on the opportunity offered by new technologies. -The sharing in the partner organizations’ local communities of the results and the tools developed during the project in order to spread the impact of the method and the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ program. -The promotion of the method at international level through social media and the creation and development of an application for mobile device as a support for learning. The method outlined for the implementation of the project was developed from the analysis of the questionnaires filled by both teachers and students in December 2018. The outcome is a method answering the needs of each country and school, and aiming to the common objectives of enhancing the motivation, the interest and the active participation of students in relation to specific topics connected to English Language and Literature. Adding to that, the activity supports the mutual training of the teachers on the Information Communication technologies, involving the use of interactive devices and multimedia as a support for the ordinary lesson, evident in the warm-up, where the topic of the unit is introduced by the vision of a video presenting intense images and sounds, involving students in an experiential learning introduction. In addition, workshops of video recording and film-making are introduced to foster cooperation and team-building in the class. Finally, teachers will plan the use of material and online lessons to review specific subjects or to research material, that is Oil Project and EdTed, and one website that collects slides and presentations, that is Sldeshare. Furthermore, teachers will plan the working together with Prezi, Voicethread, Genious and on online working platforms such as Moodle, Slack, Socrative and Trello. The impact of the project involves students, schools and communities. The European program Erasmus+ envisages the general visibility of the project through an activity of dissemination of the results that is held in the Follow-up phase of the project. In particular, the promotion of the project is ensured by the opportunities offered by the innovations brought about by new technologies and the diffusion of social networks. In general, the promotion of the project and of the method is arranged by a plan agreed in accordance with the 4 partner schools and involving students, teachers, organizations, authorities, local and international communities.

The main purpose of this partnership is to develop students' transversal skills in order to promote leadership abilities in school.To accomplish our goal, we decided to use different scientific activities as tools for teaching, learning, training. Our target groups include students aged 13-17. We believe that our innovative educational approaches will facilitate the transition from traditional teaching to new and modern teaching (student-centered activities and teacher as facilitator).Our partnership includes schools from Turkey, Italy, Spain, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Romania.Thus, partner organizations share common interests and desire to strengthen cross-curricular connections, use different ICT tools in teaching-learning, promote cross-curricular development, community work, and study trips.This partnership is built on the common value of all partner schools, whose role in the project is crucial.The different profiles of our organizations contributed to the correct division of tasks, bringing an important contribution to our effort to provide a modern education with innovative tools that will reduce the gap between the low curricular opportunities of the school and the juvenile needs of young people for their career development.The concrete objectives of our partnership are:- to develop a more effective communication through the use of foreign languages;- to share innovative teaching methods and our partners' best practices to modernize education;- to stimulate the will for transnational cooperation and the internationalization of education;- to promote social inclusion;- to train a group of young people who will share the knowledge of their abilities through positive actions, to other colleagues;- to clearly outline the strategies, vision and impact of scientific activities as innovative educational approaches;- to encourage ethnic, religious and national relations.With the evolution of technology, the learning process of our days has also changed. That is why the activities that will be carried out in the project and especially in the virtual mobility on the eTwinning platform will use the ICT tools and the CLIL tool. Online social networks will bring a significant contribution to the educational process as target groups will have permanent access to new types of information and knowledge.With their help, the feeling of European citizenship will intensify - teachers and students will learn to work virtually in transnational teams.Here are a few of the planned activities: students' English presentations during experimental activities, cultural performances and competitive activities. In our short-term exchange activities, all participants will take part in training sessions, web workshops, workshops, community activities and cultural events.Participants will have the opportunity to find out more about democratic practices, conflict resolution, communication skills, critical thinking, tolerance and respect for diversity, leadership skills, teamwork and social entrepreneurship.To achieve our goals, we will apply the project method, questioning, experimentation. These innovative methods will enhance the crucial aspects of education for democracy: citizenship, diversity, mediation, human appreciation, digital literacy.For the short-term results, we mention: Encouraging and promoting critical, creative thinking, developing English language skills, improving oral presentations and relaxing for demanding activities.All the partners from this partnership, throughout the duration of the project, will try to transform our international collaboration into a fruitful experience.Long-term benefits include a variety of important issues: implementation of good practices shared by partners in the day-to-day activities, reinforcement of the Europss certificate in school, cooperation with partner organizations, enhancement of positive abilities as a model among pupils, mediation of pupil - teacher - parent interactions through the capacity of the Students' Council. Therefore, all partners hope that this project will become reality and that our efforts will bring a positive contribution to the development of education through the most important factors of our globalized future.
