Kvarnbyskolan in Sweden will coordinate the project and will be in charge of implementing peer-learning methods and standards. The Nautical school in London has a dedicated ICT department, the Danish school, Kjellerups skole, bring skills of entrepreneurship. The French school Collége Elsa Triolet is specialized in Arts. The Finnish school, Uotilanrinteen Peruskula, follows the successful Finnish model of engaging students in becoming responsible for their own learning. ActivitiesTo reach these goals the partners will work together in a four different subject areas one per semester.(A) Promoting computer literacy and safe behaviour online. During the first semester we will learn new techniques and skills which we will be able to use throughout the project. (B) Promoting inter-cultural awareness(C) Promoting Creativity and Entrepreneurship(D) Promoting Linguistic skillsDuring these thematic studies all partners will work on activities or work tasks, entrepreneurship skill will be incorporated continuously wihin the project. We will communicate using different ICT-tools such as Skype, Google drive, Google site, Facebook. Outcomes of the activities will be shared as pod casts, movies, e-books, tutorials etc.The project will contain mobilities so the students can learn more about everyday life and culture in other European countries. During these mobilities we will teach the students new skills. After a mobility the participants will teach new skills to their peers.Methodology to be used in carrying out the projectLocal project groups with both students and teacher will be set up in the individual schools as well as international project groups each containing one student from each project country and a teacher who will monitoring the process and give guidance. Teacher seminars will be organized to further train teachers in peer-learning as well as ICT-skills.To deepen the cooperation-experience there will be mobilities where the international project groups will meet and learn new skills and review their results.Results and impacts The expected results for this project are by working together and sharing good practice to meet the needs in future society. We hope to demonstrate based on improved student results (compared to students not involved in the project) the effectiveness of peer learning implemented on ICT platforms.Impacts on pupils;Improving their social abilitiesImproving their linguistic abilitiesImproving their ICT skills Making friends in other European countries Raised self-awareness as a European citizenGaining experience researching a subject, making presentations and disseminating itTaking responsibility for once own learning.Impacts on staff;The teachers will improve their knowledge of teaching methods; they will enlarge their vision concerning the new and modern techniques of teaching and methodological knowledge by collaborating with their colleagues from other countries and organizations.

Background We’re approaching a more and more digitalized life. Today, 90 percent of the UK population are smart phone users and 92 percent have computers with Internet connection. We can hardly predict what the future will bring in terms of digitalization, but we know that computer science and knowledge of coding and programming will be in demand, and that we need to start teaching it in early ages. Several countries in Europe already have realized that fact and have included programming in their school’s curricula . In most EU countries, many schools start realizing that learning programming in early ages will be necessary for our children’s future success on the labour market. Computer Science is secondary schools are becoming extremely important and has been one of the essential curriculum subjects. In most UK secondary schools, children follow BBC’s MICROBITS micro-computer program. London Nautical School, the coordinating school, is one of those lucky schools in the UK that has been implementing the program since September 2016. We are also aware that a large number of our students in the UK spend considerable time in front of the computers, surfing on Internet or playing games. As a result; computer science, games and gaming technology hence the game design is essential part of the young kid’s life. The aims and objectives of the project In this project we wish to: • Raise the teachers’ awareness of the need of computer science in secondary schools • Increase the young students awareness of how to behave on Internet, what safety and integrity means and requires; raise their understanding of availability, handling and monitoring information, communication and interaction through online games and social medias • Teach the students simple programming (either text based or visual) in order to be able to create video games for tablets, PC, mobile devices or internet. • Vitalize other subjects (Math, Science and Technology) by programming. • Stimulate and release the students’ creativity by integrating for example game playing in different subjects • Stimulate the students’ logical thinking and creative problem solutions in Math and Science, by teaching them programming Number and type/profile of participants There are 4 secondary schools from Spain, Portugal, Finland and UK (Coordinating country). All schools are non-profit making public schools. Possible activities • Exchange of experiences, lessons plans, materials • Visiting each other’s lessons • Teaching in each other’s classes • Training of teachers and students about source criticism, web resources, media and information technology, laws and policies concerning Internet • Training of teachers in how to regularly use programming and coding in teaching, possibly developing an international course for teachers • Encourage teaching and learning PYTHON Object Oriented Programming as well as develop PYTHON GAMES using PYGAME. • Creating a game by the students in the different schools together • Producing and testing a syllabus/activity plan for computer science and programming for students ages 11-14 Expected effects/results In the short run we expect the project to increase understanding of: • the necessity of computer science as a subject in secondary school • on-line work for teachers and students • logical thinking in Computer Science and Maths, by using programming In the long run we expect the project to increase • knowledge in computer science and programming • the students’ curiosity in computer science • the targeted students’ achievements in Math • number of pedagogical tools in teaching • using games as a pedagogical tool

Background The background for this project is the desire to modernize the teaching methods of the Nautical Studies in our schools in light of the IMO recommendations following recent disasters at sea.
