"As the world grows increasingly complex there is an even greater need for individuals equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle tough problems by gathering information, evaluating it, and presenting effective solutions. Projects objectives were to enhance student´s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills, increase European understanding, language skills, 21st century´s learning skills and social competences as well. We also wanted to share knowledge about participating countries school system, culture and traditions. Backround and motive for this project was to develope pedagogics of robotics as a tool for teaching STEM and other important thinking skills as well. We also wanted to help boys to have more positive view on schooling and to give them something concrete to do so that they would not drop out so easily. We also wanted to give girls more possibilities to enter field of STEM where they still are at minority.Robotics teaches the students basic technology skills and how to build devices designed for digital information collection and specific purposes as a team. At the project students participated projects conducted on these types of platforms. At the same time they gained an understanding of their own surroundings and how everyday technological applications works. Project activities were divided preparations and practices between meetings under same advices. At meetings practised skills were tested in action also leanerd more. Before each meeting, pupils prepared themselves for challenge assignments with advance assignments and materials. Tasks related to following areas were: 1. ""Built environment and robotics"", 2. ""Robotics in everyday life"", 3. ""Fraction, balance, power and movement"" and 4. ""Industrial robotics"". For teachers there were two short term stuff training course. First one was planned at project application and it was succesfully accomplished. It was important training course because it helpped to raise awarness of pedagogics of teaching robotics. It was also most valuable for introducing robotics system, VEX IQ, to be used at project. During training course participants had also possibilites to get to know each other, have more cohesion and conversate all possible problems that project might encounter.Second short term stuff training course was orginally meant to be 4th LLT with students. Due to covid19 pandemic the planned meeting was cancelled/postponed. Meeting with student was tried to organized again at August 2021 but Riihimäki, Finland, local rules to receive foreign students made it impossible. Meeting was changed in cooperation and approvals of NA's to be training course for teachers so that project objectives could be met as good as possible.At meetings the students took part in the challenge tasks. In the VEX IQ Challenge, teams of students were tasked with designing and building a robot to play with other teams in a complex, game-based engineering challenge. The problematic tasks were being created to meet the challenges of today's working life. Challenge assignments were shaped so that they were encouraging, offered experiences of success to different levels of students, encouraged co-operation and familiarized students with the potential of robotics. Teachers from participating countries led activities together improving their pedagogical skills at teaching STEM/robotics. The challenge task materials were assembled in eTwinning, so that everyone can use them also in the future. Power point presentations about school system, culture and traditions were presented at meetings. Schools also wrote a blog about meetings. After each meeting, the host country assembled a video from the visit. During the project, each country, depending on its starting point, prepared either a national or school-specific robotics curriculum or a plan on how robotics could be utilized at the current Curriculum. Concrete results of the projects were : project logo, the challenge task materials assembled in eTwinning open to everyone to use them in the future, videos about the visits, local robotics curriculums, blog writings. Power point presentations about school system, culture and traditions and project website. Most important results were not concrete but skills and attitudes that students, teachers and oraganizations gained about European co-operation and teaching/learning STEM generally and robotics. Students language, learning and social skills improved as well.Open project material at eTwinning will continue benefitting project schools and others to start and develop further their use of robotics at teaching STEM. Project schools have expressed that project results have already lead changes at their work. Profilation of organizations have raised locally and even nationally. Project partners have aggreed to work together virtually with robotics at this schoolyear year project funded by Finnish Ministry of Education."

The focus of this project is to promote multilingualism and awareness of other cultures. The whole project is based on European culture and languages. It will encourage young Europeans to discover what they can share and learn from others through concrete tasks in connection with the dubbing of the films. The students in all partner countries have a chance to learn the most widely used languages such as English, German and French. However, they do not have a chance or curiosity towards learning less widely used languages in Europe and their cultures simultaneously. Nonetheless, they will have an opportunity to do so by means of the project. The method which is going to be used during the whole project to reach the objectives stated below is the “dubbing” method. The reason why this technique was chosen in order to promote multilingualism is the efficiency of the method proved by many studies. According to the article “Video Dubbing Projects in the Foreign Language Curriculum” written by Jack Burston in 2005, dubbing technique in language teaching enables students to improve all skills; listening, reading, writing and speaking. In other words, it is a method which gives the opportunity for the students to improve their language skills in an integrated way, at all linguistic levels. Also, it is a motivational method that can be used both inside and outside the classroom with lots of pedagogical benefits. It not only takes the interests of learners with the use of videos but also enables students to use ICT tools during scene cropping, muting, and dubbing. Most importantly, pupils not only meet new cultures, but also new languages which are less widely used along with improving English and ICT skills of the participants. During the project, the pupils will be in charge of writing scripts and in the following phases, they will also film them, and so they will find an opportunity to improve their English language skills and what is more students and teachers will also be able to learn about European languages and cultures. They will also discover cultural heritages and languages while they are learning about dubbing and cinematic techniques so they will discover what young Europeans of today have in common and what they can share and learn from the others. In addition to these their European citizenship consciousness will be widened, too.To reach our objectives, we are going to exchange good practices by using dubbing technique with five partners (two partners from Turkey, the others from Greece, Latvia, and Romania). While choosing the partner countries, these issues had great importance: the age of pupils, the motivation of the partners, whether the partners have compulsory language classes and most importantly how common their native languages are as the aim is to promote less widely used languages. In the partnership, previous experiences of Turkish partners was also encouraging in that they have already used filming techniques in language teaching in their schools and observed that this technique is very effective and motivating for pupils. So they wanted to put it into a forward step and included dubbing technique to focus on language and culture. In this way, while pupils are dubbing others’ films, they will not only learn other languages but also recognize the differences and similarities in body languages and daily lives of other countries.With this innovative approach in language teaching pupils will be motivated and eager to take part in project activities and as a result, they will recognize other cultures and languages. In short, the aim of the project is to equip individuals with the knowledge of different languages and basic skills to communicate with these languages and recognize other cultures to become respectful to the people from other nations.At the end of the project, we will have a gallery of the collection of numerous films created and dubbed by pupils, a handbook about using dubbing technique in language learning, all of the outputs of the project are going to be published on online platforms dedicated to the Project. The method will be disseminated through national conferences, local news and using social media and e-Twinning portals.
