"""Strong and brave women in European democracy"" is a project aimed at raising awareness about women equality among young people. The project will provide basic knowledge about human rights and freedom focusing on women rights in different European countries. The project will talk about stereotypes, prejudices, stigmatisation of women, their social and economical exclusion and mechanisms of discrimination. Generation of young, European women are looking for their personal identity and role models. That is why it is so important to educate young people and teach them positive behaviours in terms of self-confidence, equality and personal decisions. Direct contact with partner countries will let the participants to pay attention to women situation in each country, the problem with discriminating women in many different fields of life. Working within international groups will be a chance to present knowledge in a practical way, express our points of view and opinions, finding common and different aspects of our cultures and developing of social and interpersonal skills. Due to proper education, sharing positive role models and behaviour and exchanging experience and opinions there is a real impact on creating and upbringing of smart, aware generation of people. Through project activities the participants will become more sensitive to today's global problems, passivity and indifference as well as women social stigmatisation. The teenagers will learn more about the parts of life where women play huge role and compare the situation in each partner country; Poland, Portugal and Turkey. International meetings on one hand will let the participants to integrate and break stereotypes and prejudices and on the other hand they will show the uniqueness and individuality of each country. The content and discussed subjects will force the participants to think about women rights and freedom and also about the future of women in Europe. Among the tasks to complete the project activities there will be meetings, lectures and workshops about women rights, stereotypes, social relationships, mentality, traditions and culture of each region. The project will cover work on the issues concerning social, economical, traditional and health situation of women in Europe. The project activities will teach the participants, both male and female how important the real self-esteem and self-confidence is. The awareness of self-esteem makes it easier for women to be active in many different fields of modern life and it makes it easier for men to get used to the situation and new reality with women being active in the fields that were mostly male in the past. The visits and meetings with different workers of organisations supporting discriminated women will give the participants the knowledge about where to find help and support in difficult situations. Another aim of the project is to use the latest electronic communication methods, presenting the knowledge in a multimedia way, learning auto-presentation skills and communicating in English. The participants of the project will come from 3 culturally different countries - Poland, Portugal and Turkey and the language of the project will be English so they will have a chance to improve their speaking English skills. Taking part in the project will be also motivation to further education in the subject and looking into the future as a European person - an open-minded, tolerant and emphatic person."

Creative Teens project is about bringing Art into the lives of high school students. Why? Firstly, there is growing evidence that learning arts does improve academic achievement. Studies have shown that when STEM approach is combined with teaching Art, students tend to achieve better results in general because arts cultivate cognitive abilities. Furthermore, arts also develop a more positive attitude towards school, nurture positive character traits, and foster critical thinking. STEAM education in schools provides students with the opportunity to learn creatively, using 21st century skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. These general capabilities are crucial to growing a future-ready workforce. Secondly, we want to emphasize that the purpose of the Arts Education is not to simply boost academic results. Immersed in arts, students experience the world and themselves in a different way. They often discover a lifelong passion, develop a sense of self and identity, grow in confidence, and envision a world beyond their immediate environment. To sum up, art helps create creative, self-confident, emphatic individuals who can view the world in a critical way and who will bring value to their workplace. But it also helps people appreciate culture, understand their national and global identity and open up to the world. Investment in art is investment in creative industry, individual cognitive development and in the quality of life. Therefore we decided to start a project which will focus on art, precisely on Literature and Drama, and combine it with IT and design. The idea is to present the students with two challenging tasks: writing a book and creating a theater play based on the book. It will be a two-year process, divided into two modules and many smaller steps that will help the students to achieve the goals with the help of their mentors. The first year of the project will be focused on the book. The students will write the book, design its visual identity and turn it into an e-book and audio book. During the first students' exchange in France they will attend courses in creative writing, IT and design to gain the required knowledge to complete their tasks. The second exchange in Turkey will be the time to present the books, analyse and discuss them. After the first module, the teachers will attend training in production of a theater play, organized by the UK partner. The goal of the second module is to turn the book into a play and perform it on stage. Again, the students will gain the required knowledge for this endeavor during the exchange of students in Italy and they will present and further analyse their final products during the final exchange in Croatia. The emphasis throughout the whole process will be on giving students the tools to tackle the problems on their own and to come up with creative solutions to the given challenges. Arts will be combined with IT and hands-on approach. Instead of only listening and reading about something, students will do it: they will plan the process, manage their time, work in a team, find solutions for the tasks, write a book, design its covers, prepare it for printing, turn it into a digital and an audio version, present it to the public, adapt it for stage, create the costumes, design the stage and promote their products. All activities will develop students' creativity, problem solving skills and critical thinking. Another goal is to create a meaningful link with a finished Erasmus+ project IMAGINE. That will be achieved by partly employing the method of educational workshops in part of the students' training and by promoting the same values: tolerance, equality and human rights. Each partner school will choose one humane value and work on it through the content of their book and theater play. Additional benefits of the project will be improving the students' communication and language skills due to the opportunity of using them in real life situations, building IT skills, developing understanding of other cultures, strengthening their self-confidence and social skills and strengthening the international character of partner schools.There are five different schools that will take part in the project: Gimnazija Dr.Ivana Kranjceva, a small rural high school from Croatia, with an academic curriculum; Lycée International Charles De Gaulle, a large French school with the curriculum focused on languages and a strong international dimension; Nezihe Derya Baltali Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi, peer science and art center in Turkey that provides supplementary education to the gifted; I.S. TRAMELLO - CASSINARI, an Art school from Italy that fosters the practical approach in teaching; The Abbey School, a high school with an integrated Autism unit and History, Media Studies and Performing Arts at the heart of their curriculum. Each school will involve 20 high school students in the exchanges, some of which come from rural areas or are economically disadvantaged.

The general objective of the project is to change the perception and attitude and to raise the motivation of students to learn the STEM area, as all five partner schools (two schools from Turkey, one from Greece, one from Spain, and one from Croatia) have the same common problems, STEM study areas are estimated to be very difficult, incomprehensible, irritable and uninteresting.Most students are faced with many other difficulties, such as coming from rural areas, lower socioeconomic status, or having difficulties in development. The right to education should be available to all students, so one of the specific goals is to develop social cohesion and prevent early school leaving and to motivate them to continue their education. Therefore, the emphasis will be on gifted students and students with disabilities with a poor socio-economic situation or from rural areas.We intend to do this by connecting socio-humanities, art and STEM subjects through a series of workshops, experiments, research, presentations and contemporary teaching methods, and through the use of various digital tools. We will organize workshops through teaching and extracurricular workshops in physics, maths, geography, history, philosophy, music, religion, and drama. We will also organize international workshops through 5 mobility for students and teachers from 5 partnering schools.That is why we want to develop the basic skills of students in literacy, language, digital and communication skills through innovative interdisciplinary learning by linking the STEM area with the socio-humanist and artistic area. This experience can have a major impact on student future work, faculty selection and employment as active European citizens. Through the project we want to share experiences with other pupils and teachers from partnering schools and promote international heritage and culture.Project activities directly and indirectly involve staff and teachers from five partnering schools, all respective students, their parents, local communities and founder representatives.The schools will learn, collaborate and share learning activities on the eTwinning platform and social groups.Contemporary methods and forms of teaching in the project will be used: research, learning through problem solving, dialogue, creative writing, project learning and play.We believe that the project will result in a change in perception and attitude and better motivation for learners to learn STEM area and will better develop literacy, language, presentation and digital skills and accept diversity.The final product of the project will be a brochure and website for teachers and future students, including examples of good practice, successful methods, interesting curricula and program workshops that will be available on the school web pages and eTwinning. During the project, presentations, videos, logo, project souvenirs, brochures, leaflets for parents and the local community will be made, and materials will be adapted to students with dyslexia. A webinar on eTwinning will be organised after the end of the project, in which all partners will participate to present the project to the wider community and introduce colleagues to an example of good practice and innovation.We believe that the project will contribute to the mutual international co-operation of local authorities.Schools will enrich their offer with modern and effective learning methods, show interest in international school collaboration and thus confirm that it is a desirable place to learn and work. The project will contribute to new opportunities for all interested parties: further collaboration on the eTwinning platform or the start of the new Erasmus + project. It will contribute to change and progress in student life with new experiences, ideas, methods and forms adopted through international workshops.
