<< Background >>The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals defined by the United Nations to tackle the world's biggest problems by 2030. The goals derive from the United Nations’ international agreements on processing towards explicit sustainability in 2030. They are unique in that they call for action from all countries; poor, rich and middle-income alike to promote prosperity, all the while protecting the planet. The goals form a useful lens through which to look at the most pressing global issues. Hundreds of millions of people don't have enough food to eat; women still earn less than men and have fewer rights; plant and animal species are rapidly vanishing; and the gap between rich and poor is getting wider.More than 40% of the global population are between the ages of ten and 24 – the largest youth population ever. To solve the world's problems, the next generation needs to know what those problems are. A good way to ensure this is to teach them about the SDGs.Studying the goals is part of a broader, international approach to learning. This will improve their academic skills, helps learners’ mental and moral development and motivate them. It also helps students find jobs when they leave school. For schools, there's a positive influence on their ethos and relationship with the local community. The project unfolds the United Nations’ sustainable development goals through students, 14– 18 years old, and their participation in a cross-cultural and cross-educational context. The project will focus on developing the needed tools and methods in order for children and teachers from different countries and educational and cultural environments to work together (co-creative) on global topics related to the sustainable development goals. Participants from each project country (children and teachers) will work in close cooperation among them and with the project partners (cross-border learning) on SDGs, to identify different ways of tackling and/or solving the same problem regarding the sustainable development of the world.The UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals are about problems in the world – not about problems in one country. It is about problems that can only be solved in the cooperation among countries. Therefore, it is important that the work centered around the SDGs in schools is taking place transnationally.The project will be implemented by 5 partners organizations from 4 EU countries, which respond to the exigency of creating a unitary approach & common operating procedures in promoting & raising awareness on SDGs and cross-border cooperation/co-creation:1.SOSU OSTJYLLAND (Denmark)2.C.M. SKOUIDI & SIA E.E. “p-consulting” (Greece)3.PRIVATE SCHOOL THEMISTOKLIS S.A (Greece)4.Fundatia Ecologica Green (Romania)5.Giovani Valdarno Società cooperativa sociale (Italy)The project will meet the needs of the partnership through the development of innovative tools & results, that can be useful to support children (14– 18 years old) and their teachers on working cross-border with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and exchange of ideas on developing a project that contributes in succeeding with 17 SDG. Working together with students from different educational and cultural environments on the 17 SDGs is innovative and will meet the needs of the partners to learn through each other.<< Objectives >>The project is aiming to:•Raise the awareness among children 14–18 years old about the 17 goals for Sustainable Development;•Provide to teachers and students in primary/upper secondary schools the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to address sustainable development challenges;•Promote the benefits and challenges of using the Sustainable Development Goals with learners in schools;•Promote transnational cooperation between young people regarding the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals;•Develop intercultural competencies between teachers and students in primary/upper secondary schools from different countries;•Built co-operation between pupils regarding sustainable development;•Identify different ways of tackling or solving the same problem referring to the Sustainable Development Goals.•Improvement of language competencies through communication about the relevant and meaningful topic with young people from other countriesThe objectives of the project are to:•Train the children 14–18 years old to work together on innovative solutions/practices/methods regarding how we succeed in the areas targeted by 17 goals;•Train and develop intercultural competencies among children 14–18 years old and their teachers;•Stimulate and train their competencies in speaking and writing English among children 14–18 years old;•Stimulate the children’s understanding, that “we” cross border share the challenges and share the responsibility to solve the challenges reflected in the 17 goals;•Develop the teacher's competencies to bring their pupils and students into trans-border cooperation when it comes to learning and the achievement of 1 to 5 in the most pedagogical and didactical profitable way;•Be inspired by the different countries works with the SDGs<< Implementation >>For the purpose of monitoring the project implementation, the activities which are going to be implemented are:•regular online & face-to-face partner meetings (TPs).

“Healthy Living in Europe” brings together 5 schools from Germany, Greece, Spain, Romania and Turkey. The drive of this project is to guide students to internalise healthy living patterns and enlarge their view about healthy lifestyles within the European community. A healthy lifestyle means eating healthy, practising sports, having a harmonious relation with the natural environment, learning to deal with our own feelings, promoting wellbeing, creating healthy and strong relationships and social support. By this present project we tackle the topic under all the above mentioned above.The project stems from a problem which some schools confront with- more and more pupils refuse the attendance of the PE classes, therefore the number of pupils who are overweight is increasing every year. The participants will benefit from guidance on how to achieve healthy food habits and how important sports or any form of physical exercise is on our mental and psychological comfort. The main objective is to raise awareness about different healthy European lifestyles among 100 students from the 5 schools reunited in the present project for a period of 24 months.In order to achieve the main aim, the following objectives have been set:-to improve participants’ skills and knowledge to have a healthy and balanced diet;-to support participants to lead a healthier lifestyle;-to provide participants opportunities to learn within a multicultural environment;-to encourage the international exchange of good practices.140 participants is the number intended to be the direct beneficiaries in our project (100 students and 40 teachers). At the level of the partnership, there will be involved about 300 students aged 15-20, 80 teachers and an estimated number of 200 local participants (school staff, parents, representatives of the local authorities, guests, stakeholders, etc.). The working language of the project is English.The designed activities will give the participants the chance to explore together the surrounding nature, the impact of their acts on the environment and how nature impacts people’s health. Sports will be used as a communicating tool for health-related information to students, but also to aid when establishing human relationships and improve teambuilding. By taking part in friendly competitions, team cohesion, goal setting and team spirit will be created and supported. Students will have the occasion of developing friendships during their work within the Erasmus+ projects clubs, international meetings or the online eTwinning project. International exchanges will result in creating role models, finding sources of inspiration, opportunities for personal growth and development. Each partner school will implement topic-related activities developed during the international meetings within the project clubs. The specific context of each school will be taken into consideration while doing these activities. Students will be involved in interactive activities which will develop their ability to sum up information, IT competences and critical thinking, creativity, healthy habits and practical knowledge.Organising activities outdoors will promote students’ relation with the environment. This idea will show students that education also happens in the open. Among the planned activities outdoors are field trips, study visits, meeting guest speakers from different organisations who promote leading a healthy life. While attending the seminar “Reading for Well-being”, students will discover that even literature can enhance personal wellbeing. The result of this project will be that all the participants will enlarge their view of leading a healthy lifestyle in various European communities and the quality of their educational process will also improve.This will be a unique experience in the long-turn because it will create a new ideology about what a healthy life means in terms of eating and being active. The participants will grasp the idea that each individual is responsible for creating his/her own healthy lifestyle.As a result, the project products will be blended into the school curricula and the results will be disseminated during Open Day events of the school, reunions or Educational Fairs. Our cooperation is intended to continue via the online eTwinning platform for at least three years after the completion of the project. The organisation of a health awareness campaign in every partner school or community on 7th April on the occasion of World Health Day is one of the planned activities. The schools will benefit from creating a European dimension, internationalizing the school curricula and teachers’ expansion of their knowledge and ideologies. Thanks to this partnership, participants will enrich their communicative skills, will come into contact with different languages, cultures and lifestyles. The people involved will be more efficient in managing in multicultural environments and they will also develop socially.

This project aims to develop an already existing eTwinning project titled “SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN” . ETwinning was also used in choosing the partners of the project. The 25 pupils (who are special needs pupils, migrants, kids from at risk environments and multi-ethnic families) and the 10 professors who will actively be involved in the program will develop European key-competences 2018. They come from 5 schools from Romania, Poland, Greece, Turkey and Portugal. They will have access to different studying and teaching methods; sharing ideas for the preparation of efficient activities; creation of a basis for strategic partnerships in the future. Our children will communicate with their classmates from other schools and countries; learn each other culture; increase their interest for learning; feel a boost in their confidence and success; reveal their potential and abilities; learn to use web instruments; develop empathy; exchange of good educational practices, both in formal and non-formal education for students, teachers, and in intercultural education by using English language, mutual visits to the countries involved in the project; development of life abilities of students in a multicultural society; improvement of communication competences; creation of new friendships; improvement of TIC competences. This objectives are also found in “Different but united for a better future” project’s objectives and especially in the main objective (combined mobility): the increase of the degree of adjustment and integration of students between 11-16 years old (with special needs, coming from vulnerable families, migrants, and mixed families) to academic and social life, and the decrease of school drop-out rate by increasing the capacity of cross-border cooperation, and the exchange of good practices in schools on: education, culture, mobility, information-communication. These can be quantified at the end of the project’s implementation and even in the following period through students’ results, school’s frequency, their involvement in scholar activities.Other beneficiaries are students with ages between 11-16 years old, colleagues from different classes of students who are a part of the target group participating in the project activities from every partner school inside the project and who are coming from poor, vulnerable families.Indirect beneficiaries: parents of the students with special needs, coming from vulnerable families, migrants, and mixed families; local community represented by local counsellors, mayor, or representatives of School Administrations. They will participate at project’s activities, evaluation and dissemination. In order to achieve our goals we have organised the following: science course and lectures, human rights courses, arts activities, experiments, workshops, games, visits to places of historical importance, learning through examples. Transnational activities of the project are planned as the following:C1 running in Romania (14-16 November 2020) C2 running in Romania (21-27 March 2021)C3 running in Portugal (25-31 October, 2021)C4 running in Poland (20-26 March 2022)C5 running in Turcia (08 - 14 May 2022)C6 running in Greece (05-11 June 2022)The project aims the development for each student her/his European key-competences 2018; studying and teaching different methods of education for students with special needs from one to another; sharing ideas for the preparation of efficient activities; creation of a basis for strategic partnerships in the future; our children will: communicate with their classmates from other schools and countries; learn each other culture; increase their interest for learning; feel a boost in their confidence and success; reveal their potential and abilities; learn utilising web instruments; develop empathy; exchange of good educational practices, both in formal and non-formal education for students, teachers, and in intercultural education by using English language, mutual visits to the countries involved in the project; development of life abilities of students in a multicultural society; improvement of communication competences; creation of new friendships; improvement of TIC competences. The entire project will be disseminated through the internet, through mass media, and at a local level. The project will also have a website which can be verified and read by anyone.Through this mobility we expect to reach the following:•A better communication and collaboration between partners•A better understanding and reaction towards social, linguistic, cultural diversity and towards EU values•Increased motivation to learn•Improvement in students’ motivation to involve in class activities and decrease of disruptive behaviour in the class•Improvement in self esteem and confidence of disadvantaged students, or students with special needs•Larger knowledge of daily durable habits that lead to a more durable life style
