Our project Let`s Talk about Science deals with the subjects which all schools in our partnership perceive as necessary on the basis of the external exam results of September 2017. Our partnership consists of 4 countries: Poland, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria. The exam results made us aware that our students need to improve their skills in maths, science and languages and we decided that the best way to encourage them to learn these subjects is making the international project in which we will work on these subjects in attractive way, learning, working and having fun. Three of our schools need to improve maths and scientific skills ( Poland, Italy and Spain) and the Bulgarian school is an expert at this area as its students achieve successes in maths and science. However, the Bulgarian school needs support in learning English and foreign lanuages and Spanish school is an expert this time. However, the Italian and Polish schools have also some successes in teaching languages. Two primary schools and two secondary schools will make the added value of the project because we will be able to exchange the practice and experiences. The project is divided into small topics which put in order the knowledge we want our students to gain during the project life-cycle. The topics are as follows: Let`s Talk to Each Other at the first L/T/T in Poland when we get to know each other, divide the tasks, show the ways we teach maths, science and languages with active training methods and the students design a logo and a mascot of the project. Students make kahoot`s quizzes about Częstochowa, Polish school home town and the students tell their ideas how they want to learn about science. They prepare a glossary to be used at all L/T/T. Then we prepare some slideshows about Geography of my region, Phisics around us, Fuana and Flora in my region and make some chemical experiments to prepare for the L/T/T in Spain. There the topic is: Let`s Talk about Nature and we will focus on what we have learnt between the meetings, then we will learn about Spanish flora and fauna comparing it to our local environment and to the info found on Internet, students will make the glossary about the subject and a board game on fauna and flora in all project countries. The participants will have a trip to a plant or an animal farm and then make a photoreportage of it. We will attend the foreign language lessons and discuss the methods of teaching them. After the meeting at each school there will be the kahoot`s quizzes competition and on the same day the international videoconference competition for the winners of kahoot`s quizzes to check what the students know after the first year of the project. During the break between the meetings, the students will grow their local plant and make the slideshow or a film about its growth to show it at the next meeting together with the slideshow about Ecology in my country. The next L/T/T in Italy will have the topic: Let`s Talk about Ecology. The students will present their works, discuss them. The students will prepare a board game about ecology and recycling and they will have the trip to a place where they can see the recycling process of water, paper or sewage. Later they will compare what they have seen to what they have in their own countries. Finally, they will prepare in international teams a photoreportage of the trip. We will take part in the lessons of maths, science, ecology and languages with active training methods. Between the meetings the students will prepare the topic: Science in everyday life- is it worth learning? and they will work on kahoot`s quizzes of maths and English. The kahoot`s quizzes will be prepared on the basis of the tests results of Maths and English made at each school in September 2019 to fill the gaps in students` knowledge.The students will learn how to make geometric figures out of paper. At the L/T/T in Bulgaria entitled: Let`s Talk about Maths the students will present their works, tell the impressions about kahoot`s quizzes and make a common building out of paper geometric figures with the photoreportage of the construction with comments in English. Students will prepare mathematical board games on two levels: for a primary and a secondary school to play at home. We will attend the lessons of maths and science and see the facilities the school has. We will discuss the methods of teaching maths and science with success. There will be one L/T/T in March 2019 only for teachers because they need to discuss some effective methods of teaching science, maths and languages. They will exchange the practice and experiences because the meeting is in the first part of the project so we will still have time to take into consideration the ideas students have about the methods of teaching and learning they need. The role of the students is crucial for us and they will always take part in decision making process. We hope to realize our aims within the partnership.

Nowadays nobody can deny that our planet is going through an environment and climate change. We, as educational institutions (Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Greece and Spain), are extremely concerned about our responsibility towards this situation and aim at raising our students’ awareness about it. Hence, we truly believe that our project will highly contribute to this purpose. The main objective of our project is to make our students conscious of the need to take care about our environment and its sustainability. This will be done through a common thread: a natural park research. This main task along with others will contribute to achieve these objectives: foster key competences for lifelong learning; raise awareness about environment and current climate emergency; improve linguistic and ICT skills; increase knowledge of environment and legal terminology; raise awareness of our natural heritage; highlight democratic participation; develop ability to take initiative, problem solving, collaborative work; boost European citizenship feeling; increase knowledge of European legislation on natural environments protection; foster critical thinking; showcase recycling and reusing.Our selected priorities are: Environmental and climate goals; Common values, civic engagement and participation; Social and educational value of European cultural heritage. Our objectives are directly linked to them as the main one is make our students conscious of the need to take care about our environment. We also mean to create common values by developing the feeling of European citizenship. Finally we aim at sharing our European heritage by getting to know our natural parks.Our project is mainly addressed to pupils (from 15 to 17) because its objectives mostly focus on them. Five students and two teachers from each country will participate in each mobility. However, the project is designed to involve a wider number of participants. As there will be activities before, during and after mobilities, a great number of participants will be able to participate, and most activities will be integrated in normal lessons. Besides, through eTwinning, the project will be accessible for all participants. The managerial staff will also be involved, supporting project management aspects, mainly. Concierges or administrative staff will also get involved in some stages of the project. Another important group of participants is the families. They will be informed and get involved from the very beginning, as they need to know all projects’ aspects deeply so that they are confident to let their children participate. Finally, we will count on other local participants: authorities, experts, media…There will be a leading activity for each mobility, along with minor tasks. For C1 a research about a natural park will be done. During each mobility we will hike in the natural park chosen by each country. For C2 we will investigate on the European legislation on natural parks and check whether it is applied in each country. To improve knowledge of environment and legal terminology, a multilingual glossary on this topic will be made. The next step will be to agree on a list of commandments for sensible behaviour regarding our natural surroundings and environment sustainability (C3). We will also focus on the importance of recycling and reusing our rubbish by making a piece of art of recycled material. For C4, we will have a meeting with the staff in charge of managing the natural park so as to find out what is done for its promotion and maintenance. For C5 we will record a short film to raise awareness about the need of sensitive behaviour towards our environment and the sustainability of our planet, and design a contest to check how much we have learnt.For project implementation active learning methods will be applied: collaborative work, task and challenge based learning, peer learning, critical thinking and problem solving tasks…All activities will end up in tangible and intangible results. There will be digital documents with the research of each natural park and photo album of the visits. We will record videos of the meetings. A digital multilingual glossary will be produced. We will keep record of each activity, which will be shared mainly in eTwinning. Regarding intangible results, our students will be more aware about our planet, more motivated to speak English…Considering the aims and planned activities of this project, a considerable beneficial impact is expected on all participants. At the end of the project the experiences and insight gained will continue to be used by all target groups. The institutions will use them in further projects. The schools will continue to use the products and benefit from them as part of our school routine. The project results will be active on dissemination platforms and developed with further experience. Pupils will broaden their mind as European citizens and grow as human beings with critical and conscious thinking.

Discover the Unknown in Mathematics (DITUM) was a project where students and their teachers made mathematics seen and taught in a new light. The focus was to encourage teachers to teach in a more motivating way by aid of students. The goal was to decrease gender-based underachievement, create new peer-to-peer learning methods and give a perspective how maths act in everyday life. There is sometimes low self-esteem among students when studying maths which relates to other learning difficulties too. By giving new ideas and opportunities for participants, institutions, teachers and the most important students, we created a toolkit to help reduce early school leaving. Our project worked as a company so there was entrepreneurship as a tool, but also a career choice for some of the students. The use of the entrepreneurship was a result from other European Union funded Erasmus+ project where good practises had been formed. DITUM put a very valuable school subject as a spearhead for new type of learning, available to every partner and beyond. The students used their everyday tools and platforms to create new learning methods, for example maths in everyday problem-solving, social studies and artworks. We also used existing specialists from worklife to explain how a school subject from classroom turns into a fascinating career choice. For those not seeking an academic career in other institutions, our project gave ideas how mathematics is an essential part in economy and in running business, as well as a tool in many professions. Finally, at the end of the project all our products are given to any willing to use them. There is eTwinning for visitors, EU database and open sources such as Youtube available to all.Our group consisted of five partners. The main coordinator was a medium-sized school in Finland. Spain and Germany are big schools with lots of different age groups. Bulgaria and Italy are classical schools, and the Bulgarian is specialized in math studies. All the partners have had experience from previous projects, and all have certain special added value for the project. Therefore we expected good and ambitious results, which were then reached, according to the evaluation of teachers involved.In DITUM, we had checked the existing curriculum, which is almost similar in each country. Our idea was to change local curriculum into a student-friendly direction. When Europe is struggling with political problems, this kind of cooperation gives positive image in local, regional and also in national level of what advantages Erasmus+ program can offer. All the partners have good contact for dissemination, and our dissemination plan is carefully planned to have impact for example in national maths teacher union (Finland). Without funding there is no chance to start project like this one, but after funding the results are alive and free for all.

The Europe of the day is suffering from economic problems and a number of students can not find their way to work. This project gives entrepreneurship for answer both Europe and our students. The project is aimed for new approaches of teaching entrepreneurship. The goal for students is to give idea of being entrepreneur in school environment. During the project there will be six small companies with different ideas, markets, skills and school curricular subjects. Each of these companies will give possibility for differents types of learners. To try the entrepreneurship is one way to open perspectives for new career choises for students, which, in our opinion, is a good way to prevent early school leaving and increase motivation among students. The project emphasize the of learning by doing, but at the same time using new technologies and methods, which gives extra value for schools too. The participating schools will open new approaches for co-operation with existing businesses and local authorities. This kind of co-operation might be new for schools, and also for local partners as the ideas come from young students who are tomorrows consumers, workers and hopefully, entrepreneurs. All these activities have an international aspect too. Modern day Europe need internationally active schools and students. All our activities are done both local and international language, and we get to know cultural aspects of six differents countries and, in the end, get the know-how for business with our partners. Everything is done in a safe school environment and results shown in EU-based programs that also are safe for students. For our schools, located in Finland, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Italy, both international aspect and entrepreneurship are new methods for school environment. Some are more experienced than others, and there are great chances share ideas of best practises and experiences. By the end of the project we want to see entrepreneurship as permament part of our local school curriculum. We also want to continue this international co-operation after EU funding with smaller projects and possibly friendship school activities. The best achievement in more distant future is to see our students actually to become entrepreneurs themselves, and even better in multicultural, international environment. With this project there are benefits in local, regional, national and international level.

"Our project Open your Mind to new Technologies deals with the subjects which all partner schools perceive as important and necessary to improve on the basic of the external exam results from September 2019. Our partnership consists of 6 countries: Poland, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Greece, Italy and Romania. The exam results made us aware that we need to improve our students skills in Maths ( Poland, Italy and Greece) and North Macedonia has successes in Maths however has problems with exam results of their students at Physics and Chemistry. The schools from Bulgaria and Romania are the leaders in their countries as far as the results of maths (they win international competitions), however, they feel that their students should improve their English and other foreign language skills. On the other hand, schools from Poland, Greece, Italy and North Macedonia success in teaching foreign languages. Thus we decided that we can share and exchange our knowledge in the partnership. All school have the students at similar age ( from 6 to 16). We all belong to the group of primary level schools. We have divided the project into small topics which put in order the skills and knowledge we want our students to gain during the project life cycle. The topics are as follows: ""The world around us"" at first L/T/T activities in Poland ( coordinating country) when we get to know each other, decide how to deal with the activities and divide the tasks. We show how we teach foreign languages in the laboratory and it can be broadcasted via videoconference. We present our lessons of Maths and Science to discuss and exchange the practice. The students design the logo of the project and play Kahoot games about host town at ICT. We visit the factory with students to show them that the company can be based on the new technologies used in practice. Students tell us their ideas how they want to be taught Science and Maths.They prepare the glossary to be used at all L/T/T activities; Next topic is ""Physics around us"" discussed at L/T/T activities in Romania when we deal with physics in everyday life, its usefulness and we talk about new technologies at the robotics and ICT lessons, we plan the visit to the company which use new technologies and discussion on European Labour Market and jobs for the future; The L/T/T activities ""Building the future"" is in Macedonia about Maths when we show the students how important is this subject in many parts of our lives, among others in architecture. The students learn Maths constructing the building out of paper geometric figures and do 3D puzzles. The host school shows us how to teach Maths and ICT in effective way. The next topic which is ""Chemistry can be funny"" starts with students work when they find out the ingredients of the food they eat and then at the L/T/T activities in Italy we deal with the topic of chemistry which can be found in food and many other products of everyday life. Students have lessons of chemistry with modern methods and visit the company which uses new technologies and chemisty in its process of production. The topic about ""Ecology in my country"" starts with the students` slideshows of the same title and is developed at L/T/T activities in Bulgaria when we also consider recycling methods of each partner country and discuss the renewable resources of energy. We play Kahoot about this topic to get to know more and visit the ecological greenhouse and power plant which uses the natural resources of energy.The students have ICT lessons when they learn how to use QR code. Then we plan to prepare with students and teachers at each partner school region an educational path which will be coded with QR codes. This path is assigned and prepared by students and teachers of the partner school and deals with animals and plants which appear on it. The signs at the path will have the QR codes to show what animals and plants live there. The effects of the work are discussed at the last L/T/T activities entitled: ""Respect the world around you with new technologies"". We learn about fauna and flora of partner school regions and discuss the problems we can have to prepare the educational path. We sum up our work and make the common album about new technologies in our life based on our two-year work. We plan two videoconferences for teachers only when they have workshops on teaching with modern methods like STEAM.There will be many vidoeconferences for students to communicate and help teachers to evaluate the project`s results. We will work with Kahoot games, Quizlet and e-Twinning platforms, QR codes, STEAM programmes, Webquest 3D printers and robotics as the methods of teaching and learning.The main motivation for us is to help our students to improve ther skills in Maths, Scientific subjects and foreign languages like English and to open their minds to new technologies which are part of our life and the ability to use them is crucial nowadays to get to European Labour Market with success"
