The project was implemented in five secondary schools in the UK, ES, RO, PL, TR and designed to meet the current objectives of the European Commission.Taking into account the different rates of youth unemployment in the countries of origin involved in the project (The UK: 11,2 %; PL: 10,4 %; RO: 16,2 %, ES 32,2%, TR: 19.6 %) (https://www.statista.com/statistics) data and innovation in national curricula can be obtained.Also, the rise of unemployment rates in the present, the results presented show the difficulty of graduates in finding a job according to their desiderata, abilities, or their characteristics. Therefore, this project aims to meet the needs of graduates, young European citizens in secondary schools, helping them to choose appropriate misconduct according to the right professional and personal choices. Graduates should be aware of their personal potential and access information from the economy and the European labor market.The project focuses on the concept of sharing experience and good practice. Participants will benefit from the expertise of the professionals and associate partners of the beneficiaries. They will help students to transfer information and apply them in a modern and dynamic school environment.The project is based on the development of entrepreneurial skills for students, giving them opportunities to enter the labor market, institutions at all levels: local / regional / European or private companies in the same field. Students will develop their real adaptability to local, national and EU labor market needs.The project has a duration of two years, with a TM for its assessment, as well as four teaching / learning / evaluation activities, pupil exchange workshops and good practice examples provided by the Spanish school (Good Practice Example 1: Relationship developed between the school and labor markets in Spain) and the Romanian school (Example 2: Creating Exercise Companies as Real Firms). These useful applications will be integrated into project activities, and in the second year, all partners will apply the two good practice examples. During each exchange, seminars will be provided by labor market professionals to easily make the transition from school to work and to reduce labor market segmentation.The project's goal is an international one, creating synergy between partner schools and inspiring students to think and develop their future career.The project involves the participation of 2630 people in direct and indirect ways.Students: All project activities, both locally and internationally, will involve students as the most important beneficiaries directly and indirectly. Approximately 1200 students / graduates will be indirectly affected.Teachers: They will be involved both as instructors and as beneficiaries by observing other schools and their education systems. There will be teams of 5 teachers from each partner organization, a total of 25 teachers will actively participate in the project’s activities. Approximately 150 teachers / instructors / adults will be affected indirectly.Administrative staff: will address the legal issues of the project, knowing and respecting other school education systems, transferring examples of good practice in the curriculum. Approximately 36 people in the administrative staff will be indirectly affected.Graduates: Questionnaires will be applied to at least 100 graduates and this assessment will provide data on professional life. A total of 500 students will be involved.Parents: The number of family members involved will be around 300, contributing to the knowledge of the culture and tradition of the host country. Approximately 480 family members of those involved will be indirectly influenced.Labor market members: In each school, at least 15 labor market professionals will be involved.Local community: Local community members: university lecturers, local press, municipality, national education direction, and PTA will help disseminate the project to a much wider community. Approximately 300 people in the local community will be indirectly involved.Positive direct effects are expected: from 30% of pupils and members of target groups by:- acquiring basic skills in the field of entrepreneurship;- reducing segmentation in the local, national and international labor market;- providing pupils with opportunities to connect to the labor market through local / regional / European institutions or private companies;- directing students to analyze their own markets;- Increasing students' flexibility in choosing a job and integrating the concept of lifelong learning, as well as identifying a possible career;- flexibility in thinking;- adapting to local, national and European labor market needs;- provide unique opportunities for students to acquire entrepreneurial knowledge and deep understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity in a united European community.

The main aspect of our project is making citizens think critically. This is representative for a person with self-guidance, self-discipline, a person who reaches the highest level in intellectuality, if he persists in this way. Individuals, who obtain critical and consistent thinking, are being more empathic, reasonable and rational. We want to give them the opportunity, to find out for themselves, as junior citizens who have creative and critical thinking, who realize their capabilities and roles in modern democracy, all the processes of that political system, that affects their lives. Our purpose is to make them understand that they hold their future to their hands, and that they should not allow anyone to manipulate them. A new network of active younger Citizens will emerge from their efforts. OurYoungers will commune every topic of that network in a forum that will be built by them.Our target group of students, aging from 15 to 18 years old,300 in number, will involve every specialization available in each school, both sexes, and mostly youngers who belong to disadvantaged groups. Our intention is to implement a project, that will have a lifetime impact on them, so students will be the core of every activity that we design. Our planning involves 40 teachers from all the partner school. Their role will be to turn the results of our project into long-term practices for our students, at all levels. Teacher’s roles will be coordination and guidance for our students. They will act as an intangible resource for the students.Our objectives are:-Development of thinking critically, how to become a leader, communicational and social skill development.- Activate our youngers to community life issues.-Put the foundation of free thinking and acting-Emerge values such as respecting each other, being tolerant, democratic and active as a citizen.-to forward intercultural learning-Development of cooperation and idea exchanging among students across EuropeMain activitiesThe main core of our project will be the four exchanges. During these meetings, students will debate in real time dialogues, presenting their augments, as well as their counterarguments, that they derived from their research, that involved data analysis, situation assessment, performing interviews and role-play participation. The research that will be performed by every team of students, will ensure that the meetings will produce the expected results and that proper information exchange will be made.There are 5 exchanges with the following topics:C1-- Immigrating issueC2 – Democracy and human rights violationC3 – Discrimination and it’s forms.C4 – Social motivationC5 – Evaluation of the project and result report creation Methods used:Prior to each exchange, the groups of students will process each topic that will be presented there.There will be an established and scientific data collection methodology that will provide everything that is necessary, in order to present correctly the situation that is of their duty. To achieve this, each team is required to perform interviewing, contact personnel of several NGO’s that participate in related actions , data collection and analysis, assessment and decision making. Every research work will be presented by the students, as the exchange occurs. They will compare their data with the data of the other countries and come to conclusions. They will take part in several debates and think tank activities that will boost their ways of thinking critically. They will get in contact with local politicians and local services stuff, in order to analyze and discuss those issues.ImpactEach student will become autonomous and will enhance the ability to think critically. He or she will learn about rights and obligations in the European and local environment, will increase civic involvement, will form an intercultural conscience. Finally the project will shape students and make them better professionally, personally and interpersonally .Students will learn to respect other cultures, civilizations, they will teach and be taught tolerance as well as respecting the fellow human. They will realize that being active citizens is a one way road, if we want Europe to succeed.Material assets, such as records of each debate, researches, each presentation and activities that make students think critically, will be communed in the best possible way.We expect to expand the impact of our project via the on line platform, the dissemination meetings and the tangible assets, exhibited on a large scale of physical spaces. Our intangible assets, will be posted in any on line spaceThis project, is designed to be beneficiary not only for the students and teachers involved, but for the local community, authorities and NGO’s that will be a part of it.Teaching stuff will enrich its material and will improve communicational skills. They will develop their team working abilities and organize themselves much better.

Students have instant access to information: virtual libraries, internet information, online connections, and find traditional methods of learning rather an obstacle in their development, than a necessity and a help. We try to reduce the feeling of boredom and lack of interest for school subjects, using digitals in classes. The next need of the project comes out from the first one, as we intend to make our students sensitive and connected to the real-life social issues. Combining students` digital skills used in film making with their wider knowledge and implication in social life, empowered by critical thinking, this project will assure a new educational environment in our schools.Our partnership includes 5 motivated schools. Our project covers 3 essential dimensions - cultural, educational and professional. The project main aim is to improve digital competences and language skills through film-making, urge of approaching social issues, interest in revealing differences and similarities and emphasizing the fundamental values of our society. Our target group of students are 15-18 years old and teachers for English, ICT, social sciences.OBJECTIVES:- to improve ICT skills and digital competence- to increase practical skills related to film-making- to develop students` critical thinking, communication and social skills- to promote intercultural learning through their specific national values- to get students more involved in their community life- to facilitate the exchange of ideas, practices and values between European students- to improve language acquisitions, and the level of using English languageACTIVITIESThere are 4 LLTAs of students and 1 LTTA for teachers. The project’s main topic is divided into 4 sub-topics, all five partner countries having a certain mission to contribute to the final result.C1-TURKEY - DIGITAL AGE AND EDUCATION: Teacher training courseC2-ENGLAND- SHORT FILMS WITH IMPACT: The participating students search ready-made short films, attend workshop on the stages of writing storylines and film-making. They discuss the films’ message.C3- HUNGARY- SHOOTING SHORT FILMS: Students bring two films, and during LLTA, they work in multicultural teams on assigned topics, to write storylines and create a short film.C4- PORTUGAL- EDITING SHORT FILMS: Students improve the films made in previous LLTA, learn to use film editing applications in order to create and edit new films working in teams.C5- ITALY: Each country brings a final film reflecting students` digital competence and civic involvement. Participants create films centered on the European features of each country and put them together under the title Europe Unites Us.NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTSThe large group of total school population includes 1400 students and 280 teachers from the partner schools.A smaller group of direct participants who attend the LTTAs is formed of 100 students, aged 15-18 from general secondary education, including challenged social and economic students and 36 teachers (English, ICT, Social Sciences/Humanities);METHODOLOGYThe project is designed has 5 main chapters:A1. Project management – includes monitoring and evaluation, risk management, financial management, cooperation and communication strategy that will be applied throughout the project.A2. Implementation of activities 5-6 students are choose to participate at LTTA`s. After the LTTAs, participants organise workshops in which they share their experience.A3. OUTPUTSPublishing a theoretical collection of materials from the LLTAs workshops, related to film-making applications – „Tips for making the most of film-making”. The output gives the methodology for starting a film club in school. Each country contributes to it with materials presented during the LTTA hosted. They start to collect materials in the second year of project.A4. DisseminationDissemination will be realized throughout the project. It starts in September 2019 and ends after the project end date. The online dissemination is assured by the website and e-twinning space. They are created at the beginning and updated as frequently as possible, especially after every major event in the project.A5. Follow-up and sustainabilityHaving the methodology in the collection „Tips for making the most of film-making” after the first year after project ending a film club will begin in every school.RESULTS AND IMPACTThroughout the project we want students to improve critical thinking, skills ICT and film-making skills, level of English, team work, dealing with similarities and differences between countries. Film clubs will ensure sustainability of the project. These intangible results like: tolerance, respect and acceptance of alterity have great impact on students’ life, shaping further on the community they live in. Participating schools will gain experience in managing ERASMUS+ projects, and the community will benefit of emerged European value.

CONTEXTThe project was created in response to two basic needs identified at the level of the schools involved - the need to boost students' motivation and consequently their school results and the need to promote intercultural dialogue among people from different countries and backgrounds, in a European context which is now facing great challenges. Therefore, the purpose of this project consists of two apparently distinct directions. On the one hand, we want to get students more involved in their own learning by having them use the computer in their studying, thus improving their results and performance. On the other hand, we want them to experience what it means to be European, to expose them to different ways of thinking, values andbeliefs. The parnership includes 5 schools - The UK, IT, PL, MK, TR. AIM: to improve students' motivation, involvement and school results and to promote intercultural dialogue OBJECTIVESThe objectives we envisage are:1. to involve students in their own learning with a view to attaining better results and becoming more motivated; (at least 40 percent from the target group will improve their school results)2. to develop students' transversal skills - numeracy, computer literacy, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability; (at least 30 percent of students will improve these skills)3. to develop intercultural understanding and acceptance; (at least 60 percent of students will have better knowledge of othercultures)4. to develop communication skills in English; (the 156 participants, students and teachers, will improve communication skills in English)5. to promote European values and develop cohesion among European citizens. (measurable by analysing students' and teachers'attitudes to other cultures, as seen in the post-LTTA feedback)MAIN ACTIVITIESC1 - Feb 2019 - TR DIGITAL AGE AND EDUCATION (JOINT STAFF)C2 - Feb 2019 - PL - Topic: Using software to create fun lessons; Customs and traditionsC3 - May 2019 - MK - Topic: Using online tools to create quizzes; MathsC4 - Oct 2019 - IT- Topic: Using online tools to create booktrailers; LiteratureC5 - March 2020 - The UK - Topic: Digital tools for artwork; Religious StudiesNUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS90 students aged 13-18 from the 5 schools, selected from the target group of 250. The students come from very diverse backgrounds - urban and rural - and have a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, which makes the project even more appealing. 36 teachers of ICT, English, Maths, METHODOLOGYThe project is designed to cover 5 main areas:A1. Project management - includes monitoring and evaluation, risk management, financial management, cooperation andcommunication strategy that will be applied throughout the project. 1 TM is included,at the end of the project.A2. Implementation of activities - involves selection of participants, preparatory training sessions, participation in exchangesA3. Ellaboration of ICT lessons - done prior to the exchanges by each partner institutionA4. Dissemination - dissemination will be a continuous process that involves the sharing of both tangible and intangible results at local, regional, national and international levels, using a variety of channels and addressing school and non-school audiencesA5. Follow-up and sustainability - each school selects a group of teachers to implement the new methods during regular class work. The success is measured comparatively against the results and level of satisfaction of students who learned the same contents without digital instruments. Then another school in each area will be supported to include digital tools during class work in the next year.RESULTS AND IMPACTStudents will improve knowledge in terms of ICT tools for educational purposes, practical skills related to designing mini-lessons, storytrailers, digital projects, online quizzes, digital artwork, motivation, school results, experience another culture, increase adaptability, self-awareness and awareness of cultural differences which make Europe so diverse, and yet unitary.Teachers will have the chance to exchange good practices, teaching methods, opinions and will improve English and digital skills, organisational skills, teaching methods and tools.Schools will promote a positive self-image and become more visible in the community. They will gain project management experience and will set examples for other schools to apply for projects. They will also become more cohesive and a positive atmosphere will be created among the members.

"As the Mathematical competence stands for the one of the key competencies of the 21st century is, five schools from different European countries decided to renew the teaching methods and initiate educational innovation by taking Math outside the classroom. Approximately 73% of students from all the partner schools find Math boring and really difficult to comprehend- on this account we decided that we had to start up the present project. All the partner schools identified the needs to increase curiosity, interest and knowledge on Mathematics, improve the Mathematical skills of low achievers and provide new sets of materials for teaching Math in an effective and enjoyable way. Through "" MATHS WITH GAMES"" project we arised students’ awareness and interest in learning Mathematics."" MATHS WITH GAMES” project is designed for students coming from 5 European countries and the direct target represents lower secondary schools students aged 13- 18. We plan 5 LTTAs (ESTONIA, UK, ITALY, TURKEY and ROMANIA). The total number of participants who will take part in the mobilities is approximately 120 students and 32 teachers . However we could do just 3 of them physically. An innovative approach leading to increase students’ motivation and interest in learning Math is promoted by the project. The activities aim at encouraging learning by doing, by discovering, developing thinking skills, imagination, creativity and English and ICT skills. The project aims will be achieved by using the inquiry-based learning method. Students will discover how great influence Math has on our everyday lives. We will do our best to evoke their curiosity about the connection between Math and the real world so as they will be able to see it with their own eyes. The following different topics MATH & ART, CURIOUSITIES IN MATH, MATH IN OUR DAILY LIFE, and SHAPES AND MATHS and TEACHING MATHS INNOVATELY were planned to approached during the 5 LTTAs. Students developed Mathematical skills, creativity and curiosity using a cross-curricular approach. They were encouraged to see the connection between Math and other school subjects like Art, Music, History, PE and ICT. Team building activities, games, fundraising activities, surveys, Erasmus+ Day events enabled students to learn more effectively through an international context. We expected to see the following intangible results: increasing Mathematics skills and competence, improving Mathematics assessment, stimulating creativity in teaching and learning Math and developing motivation to use cross-curricular materials and inquiry-based learning in the educational process. ""MATHS WITH GAMES "" project presented an authorized model example of innovative and creative interventions for the development and improvement of teaching and learning Mathematics. Teachers were provided with a wide range of opportunities for self-development and they were able to keep up with the latest methods of teaching in accordance with the standards applied in the European Union."
