"Convinced that equal opportunities must be effective and real for everyone, regardless of social or territorial origin, we carried out a strategic partnership project between teachers with the aim of improving the monitoring of students in priority areas.Our project lasted two years, we were four partners from three different countries: Bulgaria, Romania, France; two gymnasium schools, a nursery school and an elementary school.We are part of the priority projects at European, national, academic and local level.The first year we worked on ""Priority education networks"" and the second year on ""Governance"".To do this, four joint training events took place, including three face-to-face and one remote on the following themes:- Operation and governance of priority education networks-Fight against early school leaving and promote social inclusion- Integrate cultural minorities from kindergarten or success for all despite the difference- Governance and organization for the success of all studentsThe formalization of a training architecture at the start of the project ensured the relevance of each joint event:- academic knowledge: theoretical training (conferences, speeches by professionals, specialists in the topic addressed)- action knowledge: observation times of classroom practices, relevant or innovative devices followed by discussion time on what has been observed- time for reflection with stakeholders (students, parents, partners, municipality, institution, etc.) in the form of educational workshopsThese three times being balanced in relation to the overall hourly volume and the distribution over the week.Between each mobility, reinvestments of the practices observed and the concepts discussed during the conferences were carried out by the partners. Pupils aged 3 to 15 discovered partner countries through the project. Exchanges between students reinforced their involvement. They have thus been associated, like all the players, with a better knowledge of the European Union, the countries, the culture and the language of the partners.The association of educational advisers and Inspector provided expertise on educational implementations and increased the impact of the project.Knowledge of other education systems, operating methods and devices allowed each partner to take a step back from their practice in order to improve it.This project enabled better collaboration between school teams, the strengthening of the fight against early school leaving at school level and the increase in actions to promote inclusion. He highlighted the importance of good cooperation with parents and partners for academic success.Beyond these expectations, the richness of the differences and the commitment of each one to listen to one another, to share, to confront each other, have made it possible to put in place dynamics of co-construction and accountability.The partnership will continue beyond the duration of the project, in particular thanks to the pooling of educational and didactic supports and the maintenance of collaborative spaces.Good practices will continue to be reinvested.Together, we continue our actions to ensure a caring and demanding school for the success of each and a quality education."

The idea of creating this project is to make our students aware of the rapidly increasing consumption tendencies. We need to take precautions today so that our scarce resources can’t supply our unlimited needs more and we need to educate our students in the direction of consumption tendencies. With eTwinning platform and discussion that we started with our previous partners, we noticed that the students at secondary school level weren’t sensitive about saving as they were in the changing technological era and that the consumption on the internet and they reflected them to the real life. Our project topic is one of the most important problems of our partners and the world we live in. We have determined our priority work that the environment which we live in should be left untouched to the future. Although the creation of environmental awareness has been given as a course, we have seen that our children can’t provide learning, that permanent behaviors don’t occur, they aren’t applied as life skills. In order to make these behaviors practicable in real life, we have determined that we will raise awareness when we carry out awareness studies with students and their families. In partnership with the students, their parents will also take part actively in the project. Families will see their consumption tendencies and will be able to convert this consumption tendencies to the saving. We will especially increase awareness of electricity, water and ecological consumption. We will be able to take precautions today by identifying the harm which is given to the nature by families with their consumption tendencies. If our students are educated with a tendency of consciously consume at a young age, they will use it in their future lives so we will have the chance to protect our rapidly depleted resources. As a result of carbon, water, and ecological footprint calculation, we will calculate the tree which needs to plant by each student (family) and then we’ll plant them. We will minimize the carbon, water and ecological footprint of our students and their families. We will create a project forest where our partners are located. We’ll give water, renewable energy and ecological saving education to our students and their families. Our partnership is formed from secondary school level students. For the reason that we will calculate the carbon, water and ecological footprint during our project, our families who are in different income levels will be an indispensable part of the project. We will get help from families during our footprint calculation. Raising awareness of our students about consumption, determining the consumption tendencies of their families and providing saving training and budget management training will enable efficient use of scarce resources. In partnership with the students, their parents will also play an active role in the project.We’ve created our project according to the 3R rule.REUSE: We will increase awareness of how to reuse waste that can be reused in school and at home. We will organize campaigns for reuse throughout the project. For example (waste collection, waste oil collection, waste paper collection)REDUCE: We will work on determining and reducing consumption tendencies of students and families of partner schools.RECYCLE: We will raise awareness about recycling. During the project, we will work together with the local administrations in the areas where the schools are located and we will carry out activities on the collection and recycling of wastes.Our project will be carried out transnational. Our students will have chance to see the consumption and saving tendencies of their peers and their families in different age groups in different countries. They will be able to see that environmental problems aren’t only a problem of their own country.Transnational mobility will increase the motivation of our students, improve their language and they will have the opportunity to learn by living in different cultures. Students from different countries will conduct workshops where they will produce models and prototypes of renewable energy resources with group work in transnational meetings. Renewable energy models made by students will be offered to the local community to raise awareness for the project position and to increase the visibility of the project. In our transnational mobility for our project, we will plant amount of trees with the students and local people that need to be planted according to the carbon footprint. The meeting will be held for activities in which students will work together in all partner countries. The project will be carried out transnational so that students can work together on global warming, environmental problems and proposals for solutions for them.

Context The project ,,A shool for future,, is an exchange of good practices among schools, whose goal is to reduce absenteeism and school dropout from 10% to 5 % during two school years, this being closely related to EU goals.ObjetivesThe objectives were designed in cooperation with partner schools:O1- to involve, during the project, 200 students(aged 11-15) with school dropout tendencies in extra-curricular activities to prevent and combat school dropout and absenteeism, to develop students`language skills, critical and creative thinking;O2- to reduce functional illiteracy, among students, with 30%-40 % through specific activities;O3- to involve students with school dropout tendencies in activities whose purpose is to understand the importance of completion of school education, through workshops, meetings with members of the local labor office, representatives of the local community, former school pupils.ParticipantsThere are five countries involved in the project:Romania-coordinator,Turkey,Greece, Bulgaria and Poprtugal-partners. The partners were selected on the basis of their interested on the topic and through eTwinnig platform. The target group consists of 300 students, aged 11-15, in all 5 schools, students of diffrent ethnicity( Romani,Armenians,Russian) and who come from families of moderate income, divorced families, which leads to low school results, absenteeism and school dropout.From the target group, 20 students and 11 teachers will be involved in mobilities. The partcipating teachers have different specializations and they will coordinate students`activities.ActivitiesThe proposed activities to achieve the objectives are varied and designed according to the compulsory and extra-curricular curriculum:M1-Romania-October 2018-coordinator meeting(planning);C1-Bulgaria-March 2019-Robotics clubC2-Greece-October 2019-,,Learn for us, integrate us in EU,,C3-Romania-December 2019-,,The little craftsmen,,C4-Turkey-April 2020-,, Aviation club,,C5-Portugal-May 2020-,,The Puppetters,,M2- Romania- July 2020-coordinating meeting(evaluation and sustainability)ImpactAs a result of the project, will be created and used the website, Facebook page, the project journal, CDs, evaluation documents and dissemination materials. The impact will be observable at the level of:1)students- improving school results, reducing absenteeism and school dropout;2)teachers-improving communication skills, leadership of teaching activity and its development, diversifying teaching strategies;3) institutions-improving of human resources, group cohesion;4) local and regional level- it will give the students the possibility of continuing the theoretical and / or vocational studies, increasing the chances of integrating into society and the labor market, to improve mentality and to perpetuate it from generation to generation, maintaining the school population and increasing the prestige of the school.MethodologyThe project has five stages: management, implementation, creation of activities, materials and lessons, dissemination and sustainability. As coordinator, Romania will monitor implementation and dissemination of activities, evaluation of activities and the impact based on the data collected from partners. Project management will be carried out by the person designated for this purpose, by the contact person together with the headteacher and the accountant. They will identify resources (human and material),they will monitor the compliance with deadlines and the realization of activities. There will be two management meetings, both in Romania.

"The project team comprises of both teachers and students from Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Turkey. Our common denominator is our mutual concern about the drastic changes in the natural environment, the challenges the world is currently facing, the unimaginable scope of degradation and deprivation of the environment and its extended effects on human welfare and all other life on Earth. Worried about the current state of nature and having carried out a comprehensive analysis, we have identified our target group needs and have decided to collaborate on a European level towards teaching students to explore their ecological and nature knowledge and striving to find effective solution to combat the unsettling legacy. The project „What’s up Mr Bug?- Insects As the Wonder of Ecosystem” is a cross-curricular project which aims at developing students’ key competences, STEAM and ICT skills and motivating students to take sustainable ecological actions for the future generations and themselves. This project promotes the development of skills and key competences through innovative practices based on collaboration and holistic approaches to teaching and learning, such as learning by doing, peer-learning, out-door activities and team cooperation. The active learning in STEAM subjects leads to a substantial boost in creativity, innovation and imagination. Moreover, by participating in STEAM activities, students are more prepared for the challenges they may face in their future jobs and careers. Engagement in the cross-curricular and interdisciplinary projects enables the students to think outside the box and to make connections between different disciplines. Another objectives include developing in-depth knowledge and understanding for other European cultures, improving communicative skills in a foreign language. An integral part of the project is constituted by promoting the integration of students with disabilities ,special needs and different cultural background (gender, religion, ethnic origins). The project also aims at taking advantage of an eTwinning portal optimally by means of conducting more online projects, participating in numerous seminars, conferences and webinars. It is worth pointing out that most of our schools are already experienced to a varying degree in the field of environmental issues and both wish to share their know-how and experience with others and aim at fostering them in their curriculum. We intend to implement innovative approaches to meet the educational purposes outlined in the project’s goals. They include venturing to out-of-school (eg. forest ecosystems) and out-of-class (eg. school horticulture) environments to teach basic concepts about environment and ecology. These areas can be thought of as open-air laboratories to show students the relationship between the natural cycles. We plan to hold workshops and organize field trips in natural areas in order to ensure that students develop both cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. The education processes taking place out in the open enrich the students with an interdisciplinary perspective by bringing together different disciplines (biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, geography, history) and enabling to use different sensory organs in relation to a particular discipline. The project is about to promote the non-school natural areas considered as a part of teaching curriculum ,and both teachers and students will be encouraged to participate in such activities. Furthermore, the project assumes that students will prepare plentiful educational materials including songs, films, presentation and stories pertaining to the topics. They will also make use of numerous ICT tools including eTwinning portal tools,Kahoot, Ouizziz quizzes,models of living creatures,padlets, e-posters, e-books ,presentations for the local community. All the materials produced in the project will be made available to other partners thus enabling them to compare the cultures, the countries and understand better what the European identity is. The final results of the project will comprise a project’s logo, an e-book ""Wonders of Nature”,a photo competition,an e-exhibition ""The World of Insect"",a teachers/students' kit including a set of educational materials,the film ""Nature-ecosystems” and numerous leaflets pertinent to the project’s aims and content.The final products will be offered in many languages (national ones and English). All in all, participating in a project pertaining to the environment with a strong emphasis on the insect-related issues, a topic very important to the future of mankind, will significantly raise the students’ awareness of the ecological issues,impinge on their everyday actions and routines, eliminate negative and detrimental habits and help transform the mindset not only of the project’s participants but also of the local communities, which will also to a larger extent be affected by the project and its planned events."
