CONTEXT/BACKGROUNDBullying at school is a worrying phenomenon. According to a report by the World Health Organization, 17% of 11-year-olds admit: they assaulted colleagues at least three times the month before the study. The proportion increases to 23 percent for the age group 14 -16-year-olds. Last UNESCO 2019 survey says that in Europe 25% of the school kids have suffered from bullying in the last year.The consequences include: missing classes, avoiding school activities, dropping out of school, getting down into a serious, long depression... International learning assessments highlight the impact of bullying on learning outcomes clearly show that bullying reduces students' achievement in key subjects.This has an adverse impact on future education and employment prospects. The worrying situations and effects led us to act and get committed into a 2-year partnership which aims to banish bullying in our schools, for the mental and physical health of our students, for their well being, to give our youngsters the opportunity of being humanitarian, responsible and respectful European citizens in a growing diverse social and cultural fabric.OBJECTIVES1) diminish the level of bullying, discrimination and violence at partner schools2) increase students' sense of belonging to the school and thus reduce the rate of early school leaving3) increase awareness on bullying in parents, schools and local communities4) reinforce students' understanding and sense of tolerance, equality, empathy and mutual respect towards peers and other cultures5) enable teaching staff to effectively deal with bullying, conflict among students, discrimination and violence6) enable students to get to know and gain awareness of foreign cultures7) enhance communication, interpersonal skills, cooperative learning and peer education8) help students develop English language and ICT, self-confidence and self-expression skills9) develop various academic knowledge through inclusive and innovating pedagogical approaches10) emphasize the civic consciousness of our pupils and link it to their European citizenshipPARTICIPANTS- The target group will be students between 14 to 18. Directly will join LTTAs 6 students from each school (96 students in total for 4 LTTAs). After returning from international mobilities, they will have an active role in the dissemination of activities and results of those mobilities among their peers. Also, around 2500 students will be indirect participants and these students at partner schools will contribute to local activities at schools.- 40 teachers in total 5 LTTAs will directly join 4 LTTAs to supervise and guide students during mobility activities and join 1 LTTA as direct beneficiary.Their responsibilities will be to plan, implement, record the specified activities; organize and ensure the implementation of and participation in LTTAs and local meetings they will actively work before, during and after LTTAs. Around 200 teachers at all partner schools will also be indirect participants and help other teachers, participants of international visits and will benefit from the dissemination and products of the Project.-100 families in total will be involved in the Project and direct stakeholders of it. Because the students will stay with host families of that country, families will take an active role in introducing culture, lifestyle, traditions and meals of that country. Around 350 family members will be indirect participants.- Local police authorities as well as municipal authorities and the local Medical Center and local social solidarity associations will give their contribution to design prevention and awareness campaigns against bullying at each school.DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIESNL) C1 PHYSICAL (AND SEXUAL) VIOLENCE, unacceptable attempt to our integrity and Project websitePT) C2 PSYCHOLOGICAL HARASSMENT, the silent torture and eTwinning projectFR) C3 CYBERBULLYING, an increasing contemporary threat and final product e-bookRO) C4 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND REFUSE PASSIVITY (political and social answers) and sharing final results on Erasmus Plus Result PlatformTR) C5 TELL YOUR COLLEAGUES AND HELP YOUR STUDENTS (the collective responsibility in fighting school bullying and social resilience) / Facebook and InsTANGIBLE RESULTS- Guide on How to Tackle Bullying, E-books- Virtual multilingual exposition “FOR Peaceful Schools, AGAINST Bullying”- Questionnaires at the beginning, middle and end of Project as well as after each LTTA- eTwinning platform, Facebook page, Website- Logos, Videos and Pictures/Collages- Reports on the LTTA and press articles- Europass mobility- Certificates of attendanceLONG TERM BENEFITS Each partner school will create new eTwinning projects on similar topics to our Project with different schools and partners so that we will maintain the sustainability of our Erasmus Project. Dissemination and implementation will continue also after the end of the project.

Over the last 2 years as a European Collective, we have actively been working to raise awareness of drugs and alcohol abuse across our partners both locally and nationally. We feel that we have been able to have really honest, opened and moving conversations with both young people and adults who work with young people to inspire change. We are really proud of the work that we have done over the last 24 months as a collective and have created a range of innovative outputs, all of which are a testament to our work and commitment to the project, much of which will be explained through this evaluation document. We understand that substance misuse is still very much an issue for young people across Europe, but we feel proud to have contributed to the growing conversation and awareness work that is happening, in addition to mobilising both young people and adults who work with young people to equip themselves with both the skills, knowledge, and confidence to discuss these topics on a national and international scale. We feel that we have been able to:1. Raises awareness of the reasons why people use substances, the types of substances that are misused, and the factors that can influence the effects of substances.2. Support both young people and adults who work with young people to study the harmful effects of substance misuse on individuals and society, as well as where to get support and advice on substance misuse. 3. Raise awareness of how stereotyping affects users and how media reporting affects people's perceptions of substance misuse in addition to understanding statistics nationally and locally about substance misuse.4. Encourage our team to consider the risk factors and protective factors for substance misuse, ways to protect individuals from the risks of substance misuse, and the barriers to making healthy choices.

"<< Background >>WHY WE APPLIED: The coronavirus period has turned our education system upside down, changed our teaching learning methods and even if we have adapted in the best possible ways, there are still many improvements that need tobe made in terms of educational approaches in realities from the 21st century. The new reality imposed social distance and the only method of communication remained through the internet, period, in which online lessons have partially replaced regular courses. Although we hope to eliminate this virussoon, we are convinced that the practices learned this year will continue to be used, and their development is necessaryto support teachers in the teaching process.IDENTIFIED NEEDS: With this project we address the needs of teachers as well as those of students. Based on the analyzes in the partner schools, we realized that teachers have faced the same problems in the last year, namely finding, applying the most attractive materials and resources to capture students'attention and extend the duration of students' attention to classes. We all consider it a priority to develop the professional skills and digital competencies of teachers, in order to meet the new challenges regarding teaching techniques and methods and increasing the student’s motivation in their own education.The following quotation and the given 3 explanations also emphasize the importance of the use of ICT, RC, AR in educational processes ""If you have to make a choice, it's more important to learn to code than to learn a foreign language,"" says Apple CEO Tim Cook. 1. Coding enhances creativity, teaches people to cooperate, to work together across physical and geographical boundaries and to communicate in a universal language. (https://bit.ly/3vi8nKz) 2. Robotic coding (RC) strengthens skills in creative, computational, analytical and critical thinking. Children learn to think algorithmically and, in a design-based way. 3. ""AR has been recognized as a technology with great potential for facilitating learning. Students are able to freely navigate in a virtual environment, observe the phenomenon from different perspectives, and interact with selected virtual objects. Visualization and interaction provided by AR have been successfully used to improve spatial abilities and to help learners to understand abstract concepts""(Ibáñez et al., 2014). (https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/205143/1/full-4.pdf) So, the project partners from Spain, Ireland, Romania, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Turkey and Czechia decided to initiate this 2-year partnership to answer for these identified needs.<< Objectives >>Our project responds to the identified needs, with the general objective 'Contributing to the modernization and digital transformation of education, enabling the creative use of digital technologies and strengthening technological literacy'.This will be achieved by developing coding and familiarization skills with the use of augmented reality and virtual reality in teaching-learning classes on the main topics of interest that we have established at the partnership level.The objectives set:O1. at least 80% of the project participants will acquire ICT, RC, AR skillsO2. at least 80% of students will improve their creative, computational, analytical thinkingO3. 80% of students improve their motivation to learnO4. at least 60% of the selected students will actively contribute to the creation of lessons using ICT, RC, ARO5. 100% of teachers will use the lessons created within the partnershipO6. 100% selected participants improve their cooperation skills in a team, communication in EnglishO7. 100% participants improve their intercultural awareness, tolerance, respect for other culturesThis will be achieved by developing coding and familiarization skills with the use of augmented reality and virtual reality in teaching-learning classes on the main topics of interest that we have established at the partnership level.The main activity consists in training teachers and students on ICT, RC, AR. After completing the training, partners will be provided via eTwinning or other platforms to obtain additional information about ICT, RC, AR. Their students and teachers will create educational materials that they will promote in their school and present them to other partners during transnational events.Educational topics will cover - Science, Geography/Tourism, Cultural Identity, Foreign Languages. There are topics that cover the content of school subjects, areas of interest for students, which will become more attractive, personalized. Lesson plans will be implemented, feedback will be gathered to be improved for the final form and disseminated on the project site, eTwinning, EPRP and thus gain a wider audience at European level, so that more students and teachers benefit from these.<< Implementation >>Following preliminary preparation phase of project, every partner will hold an implementation plan elaborating tasks, responsibilities and details. The mentioned plans will be discussed at 1st TPM and the extensive implementation plan of partnership will be prepared based on that discussion.Plans are as follows:- 3 TPMs- 2 LTTAs for teachers & 3 LTTAs for students- 2 Intellectual Outputs- 8 Multiplier Events-Activities to promote the project and make it visible, such as Erasmus corners and various posters at school, having the news and articles published in local/regional/national press, doing presentations at various meetings of each school and continuous posts on Instagram, Facebook and project website- Forming the project teams (i.e. teachers and students), defining their tasks and responsibilities- At organizational level, preparatory meetings will be held for project participants, educators and students.All partners will hold seminars and workshops for dissemination of Project activities, results and IOs to local teachers, students, parents and local authorities-Among partners, communication on details and procedures about 1st TPM, place of meeting as well as options for accommodation and transportation in Spain-Forming a finance plan falling in line with the Erasmus+ Program's financial rulesAll Project teams will discuss finance plan over financial rules, eligible costs and implementation expenses. -Meetings by each team to make task distribution based on details of relevant part of Project “Tasks and Responsibilities”-Meetings to debate primary Project activities (the ones which will facilitate the fulfillment of Project objectives and expected results written in application form)-Making teams, consisted of teachers and students, prepared for their tasks and responsibilities and for such Project topics as preparation and organization of meetings, visits, workshops, activities and documentation of and information on technological literacy and digital objectives which will promote learning of students.
