"During the last hundreds of years, people have been crossing countries and borders within Europe to pass or get into a new country. Their objectives might have been to travel, to trade or to build a new life. In order to this, different aspects of culture and heritage have been brought along all of Europe. But, where is the origin of Europe? Where does Europe come from? One has to go back into history to find the origin source: The Roman Empire. Nearly from its beginning it had a tremendous impact on the afterlife. Some people call Rome the ""ancient European Union"". Many European countries have a very important heritage from the Ancient Romans: the language. In modern times, topics like military, architecture, law, culture and political institutions of democracy were influenced from the way the ancient Romans did it.The project entitled ""How Roman Are you?"" will be implemented by six partner schools from Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy, Croatia and Greece and, as the majority of our pupils don't think of the topics above, it has the objective to expand the knowledge of our pupils and exchange good practices in this field to achieve greater competences needed in daily life in the 21st century. Project objectives are:- become aware of and improve knowledge of European history and the common origin of different cultures- realize the importance of belonging to the EU by participating in this project and by cooperating with different nations- get to know similarities and common values of European cultures - What does connect us?- increase openness of pupils and step out of their comfort zone to improve skills in general - enable pupils to widen their horizon and make formal and informal contact with foreigners- learn respectful interaction and non-verbal behaviour- develop intercultural competences (in interacting with people from different cultures and in experiencieng daily (family and school) life in foreign countries)- get to know different, new values and beliefs in the increasingly globalized world - especially value their own things- develop ICT skills, critical thinking and get open-minded in interaction with people- to connect the curricula of different subjects by implementing project and involving all teachers, todevelop an interdisciplinary knowledge.Ambassador pupils are selected to participate in transnational activities between pupils aged between 12 and 15, according to their merit and linguistic competence, encouraging the participation of pupils who face economic and social obstacles, in order to allow them to travel abroad, interacting with other cultures, communicationg in another language and contributing to becoming adults with open and tolerant minds. The pupils/teachers participating in the project have online meetings and offline information exchanges with their European partners in order to prepare the next mobilities and activities, presenting their needs and organizing what they will have to do. Pupils select important information to disseminate during the project (project website, school website, local newspaper articles ...).To implement the activities and achieve the project's objectives, pupils, teachers and members of local communities work together, enriching the work thanks to the particular skills of each one. The joint work of the project allows everyone involved to improve their language skills, ITC skills, personal development as well as their knowledge of different areas (History; Sports and games; Languages; Architecture; Culture and political institutions of Democracy). We expect to achieve the following results during the project:- six multimedia documents (video or PPT/Prezi) with summary information from all partners about their school, region and country (population; economic data; ...)- a logo for the project- a calender- a virtual museum in form of a web page with several multimedia documents that show the influence of the Romans in the different partner countries, namely in the topics: History; Democracies; Sports and games; Languages; Architecture and Culture) for the dissemination of project activities- an e-twinning space, so each participant of the project can communicate with the other participants.- exhibitions We expect the following impact and benefits in the long term: the strengthened awareness of communication in a foreign language (English) and increased interest in learning other European languagea , the increased tolerance to social and cultural differences, the increased willingness of teachers to take on new challenges and projects, the increased openness of the teachers to educational cooperation, perception of the teaching staffas active and involved in lifes of local people, improved educational offer of the schools, the increased experience in implementation of EU projects, the opportunity to use examples of good practices by other organizations."

We readjusted the curriculum to the European Union standards boosting pupils’ engagement in both education and motivation for learning and reaching their full potential.The project reunited 5 schools from Spain, Italy, Norway, Estonia, Turkey. The SWOT analysis of all partner schools showed that students’ lack of motivation to learn foreign languages is higher compared to previous years and the low degree of internationalization of the schools curricula.The project developed pupils’ intercultural competencies preparing them to be global citizens of a rapidly changing multi-cultural global world.We have been preparing the students involved to be the new citizens of European Union.The project encouraged the innovation and imagination in the attempt to make students understand that they are the creators of the future. Students tackled essential topics of thedaily life like landscape of the future, technology and people, self and health, students were encouraged to embrace technological revolution.OBJECTIVES:- 72 pupils and 28 teacher developed transversal and soft skills.- 72 pupils fostered conceptual thinking.- the school curriculum in 5 European schools was internationalised and broadened. - connectedness of mind, body and spirit introduced new approaches and schemes to tackle the future European challenges.- the number of students and teachers that attended the international mobilities were 72 students and 28 teachers . Our project welcomed all students to join the activities, including the ones with fewer opportunities.-the project was planned to have 24 months duration. There were 2 TM (at the beginning and ending of the project) and 3 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils.- during the TM (Tukey and Spain), partners reorganized the Partnership Activities Plan (objectives, tasks, distribute tasks, agreements on the strategy of impact, dissemination, sustainability of the project, exchanging information about the educational system of each country, evaluating the project and elaborating the final report.- during short-term exchanges of groups of pupils (Norway, Italy and Estonia) partners organized activities with students for achieving the project objectives. We discussed the quality of the products. We elaborated the interim report. Also, we evaluated the impact of the activities. Besides we analyzed the results of the questionnaires, and exchanged information about what was achieved.- the project was divided into topics that were approached during the short-term exchanges of groups of pupils. These topics were: LANDSCAPE OF THE FUTURE, TECHNOLOGY AND PEOPLE, SELF AND HEALTH.- tangible results of our common work were: lesson plans, presentations, videos about Global Warming, scale models as examples of using alternative energy, healthy lifestyles presentations, logo, promotional materials, project’s WebPages, articles published in the social networking.- this partnership had a wide impact at all educational levels and broadened school curriculum focusing on the development of transversal and soft skills and the integration of European methods and approaches in the education process.- the partnership established a successful beginning of a long-term cooperation and an international network between teachers and students across Europe that undoubtedly stimulated their professional and personal development.- the international cooperation increased the sense of European identity and of belonging to a united European multi-cultural family.

„GREEN LIFE“ is a two-year multilateral project of strategic partnership between schools only where six schools from the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Lithuania, Romania, Portugal and Spain will cooperate on activities connected with environmental and climate issues.The objectives of the project are mainly connected with acquiring and developing key competences of the pupils and teachers. Through participation in this project the pupils and teachers from the partner schools will develop communication and langage competences, social, digital, analytical, maths, creative competences and skills and raise cultural awareness. In this project we want to produce some materials, too, e.g. project magazines, posters, leaflets, promotional materials, presentations, brochure, photobook, webpage, facebook page, logo or Twinspace.In this project the following groups will be involved:1) pupils: will be involved both in local activities and learning / teaching / training activities, in online eTwinning cooperation, in activities promoting the project, and in dissemination and evaluation activities. At least 50 pupils from each partner school will be involved in local activities, and 15 pupils will take part in mobilities (3 pupils from each school in each mobility). We assume involvement of at least 40 pupils with limited opportunities in project activities.2) teachers: will be involved in local activities, learning / teaching / training activities, in dissemination and evaluation activities, in cooperation with municipalities, NGOs etc.3) other school staff: headmasters/headmistresses will be the members of the project teams and will be responsible for running the project together with the coordinator of the project, for financial issues (together with the school accountants), and for organising activities during the meeting in their country. Other members of staff then will participate in local activities and will help with organization of the meeting in their country.4) parents: will be involved in organization of the meeting in their country together with their children, in hosting foreign pupils, in helping the coordinator with promotion of the project on public, cooperation with environmental NGOs and other institutions according to their possibilities and in various dissemination activities. 5) public: will be involved in meetings held in their cities. We intend to involve mayors, town representatives, other responsible people from municipality, presidents of some ecological or environmental NGOs into the cooperation on the project.The age group of involved pupils will be 13-15.The project consists of local activities, eTwinning cooperation and six learning/teaching/training activities. The project activities then include workshops, basic research, presentations, discussions and interviews, creative work (logo, leaflest, posters, promotional materials etc.), online cooperation, intercultural activities and evaluation and dissemination activities. By implementing the above mentioned activities, we will achieve the goals that we planned in this project.The main topics of the project activities are: water, its sources and purity / healthy habits / climate changes and desertification / recycling / eco-tourism / global warming. Each of the six partners will be in charge of one of the topics. Each of the partners will be also in charge of one dissemination tool: webpage / video-documentation and photo-documentation / eTwinning / facebook page / project magazines / brochure.The results of the project will be acquired or developed competences of the pupils and teachers, established cooperation with new partner schools, fostered cooperation with municipalities, NGOs and other environmental organizations. During the project several concrete results will be produced, e.g. project magazines, posters, leaflets, brochures, promotional materials, presentations, project webpage, facebook page, logo, Twinspace, photobook and videodocumentation.The partner schools will share and disseminate the results of their work on local, regional, national and international level. Several online and offline dissemination tools will be used, e.g. the project webpage, facebook page, project magazines, Twinspace, brochure and various promotional materials. The project will have impact not only on the participating schools but on other people at the local, national and international level, too. Participation in the project will contribute to development of the participating schools as they will improve the range and the quality of their international cooperation, quality of their work with pupils, the schools will become more popular and more visible for public. The participation will also help the schools create tighter, more personal and more friendly contacts between the teachers, between the teachers and pupils, teachers and parents, schools and municipalities, schools and various environmental NGOs, or schools and public.
