<< Objectives >>To remove mathematics from being a theoretical course and turn it into science in which students become accustomed to feeling their presence everywhere in real life; students from different school types and different cultures have similar experiences in mathematics and realize the universality of mathematics; We aim to help them overcome the negative attitudes they have acquired through interdisciplinary approaches, to reduce school dropout and to develop a positive attitude towards mathematics.<< Implementation >>We aim to reach our goals by carrying out such activities as food workshop,environmental sustainability oriented nature tour with on site seminar,recycling workshop with practice, orienteering competition called Mathematics and Nature,using Minecraft creation of Mathematical Ecological World workshop,creation of a digital book ISBN accredited,Maths Club edited by students with various local-transnational-virtual activities in which they practice what they have learnt and finally dissemination.<< Results >>With the use of Maths, we would like to develop the awereness of global climate change and global water crises together with recycling, increase students' digital skills, observe %60 decreased in fear-anxiety-stress ratio, increase the ratio of success-fun finding-usage in daily life in mathematics attitude scale up to %60, reduce the ratio of mathematics-related early leaving by %75 in our participating instutitions and therefore we plan to contribute to the European 2030 education targets.

There have been four participant countries in the project: Spain (coord.), Turkey, Italy and Slovakia. It aimed at reducing early school leaving rates and increasing student motivation through a highly appealing topic, animals. The project focused on the need to speak up for animal rights and protection and, as a matter of fact, another major goal was to make students aware of the paramount importance of animal rights and the contribution of animals to maintaining the balance of ecosystems.The main objectives of the project were (1) to reduce drop-out rates by engaging students in school life by means of a topic relevant to them; (2) to raise awareness about animal rights and the need for protection and conservation programmes at European, national and subnational level, and (3) to increase student motivation by means of a topic they are highly interested in.Number and profile of participating organisationsThere have been four, general education (secondary level) organizations involved: Istituto Comprensivo Scorrano, Italy; Mehmetçik Ortaokulu, Turkey; Zkladna Skola, Pionierska 33, Cana, Slovakia and Colegio La Asunción, Spain.The vast majority of the project activities have been carried out in accordance with the project proposal. As explained below, a few activities needed minor tweaks and only one (M4) underwent a major change. As we were unable to travel to Turkey due to the political instability in the region, we agreed to conduct the M4 meetings online and redesign the activities so that they could be done locally. Attached you will find detailed reports for each of the activities listed below. Please bear in mind that further information can be found on the Europaws social media and Etwinning sites. In October 16, animal right-themed posters and mindmaps were put up in the school to celebrate Animal Protection Day. In November, we organised the short-term pupil exchange and visited animal shelters and refuges. Also, merchandising products were made to help disseminate the project. In December, we created an animal-themed calendar, which was sold to raise money for animal welfare charities. Some calendars were sent to local authorities. In January 17, we held a seminar on genetic manipulation and asked the students to create mindmaps. As the seminar was also open to the public, leaflets were given away to promote the seminar. In February, we printed out leaflets to promote the Film Festival, which was open to the public. In March, we prepared stationery for the course on Animal Behaviour. We printed the photographs for the photo exhibition. In April, students designed products that might improve animals' living conditions. In May, the students put up posters with the countries or cities whose symbol is an animal before creating the comic. All of the activities supported by the grant included the European emblem and the phrase “Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union”.In September, students from all participating schools shot videos on animal cruelty. These videos were exhibited in Slovakia the following month. In the case of Spain, the visits to local shelters had to be postponed because they were being refurbished. The activity was eventually done in early December. In October, students and teachers from Italy and Spain travelled to Slovakia for the second short-term student exchange. Besides holding project review meetings, we visited local shelters and nature preserves. The students also carried out the shooting of an international video to raise awareness.Seminars by experts on animal rights, protection and conservation were held in the schools.In November, students from all participant schools analysed European laws about animal protection and conservation and they also learnt about benefits of therapies with animals.In December, every school promoted adoption over Christmas period. Also, students learnt and made presentations about local and national endangered species.In January 2018 essay competitions about the importance of animals in the ecosystem were held in every participant country. The presentations about endangered species from other partner countries were shown.In February, the students were asked to design the animal-themed merchandise to be sold at the animal fair scheduled for April. The fair was a great success in every partner country. Also, debates about traditions that threaten animal life took place during this month.In March, students made proposals for the Bill of Rights and also learnt about outstanding animals.In April, the Celebration of an Animal Fair took place and students from each country wrote a draft of the Bill of Rights. In May the creation of the definite Bill was carried out via Skype, students and coordinators were present in the virtual meetings. In June an online yealy magazine was created and in July- August discussions took place and final reports were made.

CONTEXTWaste is an issue that affects us all. We all produce waste: on average, each of the 500 million people living in the EU throws away around half a tonne of household rubbish every year. This is on top of huge amounts of waste generated from activities such as manufacturing and construction, while water supply and energy production generate another 95 million tonnes. Altogether, the European Union produces up to 3 billion tonnes of waste every year. This partnership will involve 3 main directions: 1. Making an objective analysis of the current policies and situation related to waste management in each country, thus being able to identify common and differentiating aspects, which will enable us to organize the project activities and adapt the methodologies accordingly. 2. Activities with students to promote reduction of garbage, re-use of existing objects and avoidance of overconsumption, and recycling materials to turn them into useful or aesthetic objects. 3. All the way through the project, we will be working on a guide to waste management in schools and households that our schools can implement and share at the end of the project. Therefore, the third aim is to create a school-based system of eco waste management for the creation of which we will collaborate with the municipality and NGOS.OBJECTIVESThe project addresses a general problem that has been focused on at the level of EU, but which has not found all the solutions. While we will not solve all the problems related to waste management or eliminate its effects on the environment, we intend to make a conscious effort to educate young people into becoming more environmentally responsible citizens.The project specific objectives are:1. to promote responsible and active citizenship among students2. to develop the students’ environmental consciousness3. to give students and teachers the chance to analyse current practices in waste management and make positive changes4. to turn the schools into ECO-friendly schools through the implementation of the waste management programme5. to improve intercultural awareness, promote tolerance, mutual respect and understanding6. to develop students’ creativity, critical thinking and team work skillsACTIVITIESIn order to achieve these aims, we plan 5 transnational events, intertwined with local activities on specific topics:C1 – Waste management policies – statistics, regulatory acts, laws (joint-staff training)C2 – REDUCE – Effects on the environment of bad disposal methods C3 – REUSE – Campaign to promote reuse of materialsC4 – RECYCLE and RECREATE – Discover the mine in the wasteC5 – Development and implementation of school-based waste management systems (joint-staff training)PARTICIPANTSWe will have an overall number of 96 students in the partnership who are going to attend all the 3 student exchanges (C2-C4). For the 2 joint-staff training events, we will select from each school 2 people with the relevant experience for the topics, besides the coordinator who will attend both meetings. Overall, we will have a number of 24 teacher mobilities in C1 and C5.RESULTSOur project is meant to produce a series of intangible results, which consist of beneficiaries’ acquired knowledge, skills, attitudes and environmental awareness; we will promote a culture of care for the environment that all partners will embrace and abide by. Some of the tangible results include: initial and final evaluation forms completed by target groups, research and presentations about local and national policies regarding waste management, an e-magazine of environmental projects of the schools, students’ eco-diaries, surveys of local community members, art installations, e-brochure with DIY arts and crafts from recycled materials, Stop Waste Campaigns, Waste Management (WM) Programme for schoolsIMPACTFor all partner institutions, this Erasmus+ project is going to bring benefits at all levels. For project partners with previous Erasmus+ experience, this project will continue to foster the European and international dimension of the schools. By using eTwinning intensively in the project, we will also be able to identify new opportunities for collaborations on the same topics and will also extend our network of European schools.Inexperienced partners will increase their project management capacity, thus improving their exchange management and organizational skills.We all increase the student and teacher mobility and make improvements at the level of the institutionsOur institutions become more environmentally friendly, focusing on ways to improve waste management. If this is done properly, then the project will produce changes in students’ attitudes to the environment in the medium and long term. This will be carried on into their personal lives and we expect to produce changes in the community too. In this way schools will confirm their key role in the education of future generations of adults.
