"The project with the title “We lived in one country – Czechoslovakia"" was created in cooperation of two schools – ZŠ s MŠ Juraja Slávika Neresnického in Dobra Niva in Slovakia and Základná škola in Prachatice in the Czech republic. We would like to enter the project as two schools from two countries with common past which also affects the present. Based on the 70 years old history of our countries and in effort to keep it for the next generations, we made the individual ideas into the goals of the project. The aims mainly include to increase interest in individual countries, extend and strenghten the knowledge and skills by pupils´own work, improve language and cultutral competences of pupils, consolidate the relationship to our own traditions and to the traditions of the partners. The project activities are mainly designed for pupils of the second grade of basic schools aged 10 –15, although other pupils will participate in some local activities as well. in every mobility 18 pupils will travel accompanied with 3 teachers. Individual members of the pedagogical choir will participate according to the topic of mobilities. Four main topics are planned within mobilities. The first topic: “Folk art of our ancestors” - group activities about folk art, presentation of folk performance on topic Spring in front of the pupils of the school and local community, introduction of the local national costume, embroidery with the practical part of embroidering, mutual teaching of dances, taking part in performances of childrens´folk ensembles, workshops, work with clay, visiting of UNESCO cultural sights in Vlkolínec and Hronsek, festive ending of mobility connected with submitting of participation certificates. The second topic: “Common and still different” - mobility focused on geography of our countries, group activities on given topic, creating of the picture book In the common state, visit of local and regional sights (Dobronivsky hrad, Gavurky, Banska Stiavnica, Sv. Anton), eco-activities, sports afternoon, festive ending of mobility connected with submitting of participation certificates. The third topic: “Film production in the common period and today” - creating an album about actors and films, discussion with an actor, visit of film studios in Barandov and cultural sights in Prague, Cesky Krumlov, final presentations for other pupils of the school, festive ending of mobility connected with submitting of participation certificates. The fourth topic: “Common historical moments” - creating of poster about about historical facts of formation of Czechoslovakia, reports about the presidents, national emblems and flags, discussion with the living participant, gettting to know the history of national anthem, visit of the local sights and museum, joining the experience activities, presentation of results in front of the pupils of the school, festive ending of mobility connected with submitting of participation certificates. Individual mobilities merge connection of competence outputs (language, communicative and cultural competences, competences of self-development), media outputs (presentations of mobilities published on webpages of schools, on eTwinning, contributions to school magazines, local press and media) and material outputs. Except for the works created during group activities of pupils (picture book In the common state, posters, ...), material outputs include: Slovak-Czech-English dictionary (divided according to topics of the project), photo-book demonstrating the course of the project and its activities containing photo documentation and extracts of pupils´diaries, DVD containing photos, videos from activities and comments of pupils about their participation and how the project enriched them, brochure with basic facts used for promotion of the project and of both schools. All the activities realized during the project will have impact on both basic schools, mainly on participating pupils. In case of pupils it is about fulfilling of individual goals. In case of schools it is mainly about gaining experiences in the field of submitting and realizing of projects, which can subsequently be used in othr projects in Erasmus+ program. Educators can exchange advice in the field of pedagogical approaches and methods. The relationships established during mobilities will last farther. And so the idea of the project “We lived in one country – Czechoslovakia"" will be fulfilled."

“Better environment better tomorrow” as environmental care is the most profitable investment for a safer future for the next generations. This was the core of the project and the source of the motivation that brought project partners together. The ground of the project was being conducted as eTwinning project for one year in eTwinning platform as “All Equal, All Different, All Europeans, Taking Eco Friendly Actions” by different partners and 266 pupils and awarded with national and European quality labels. Project targets were contributing into EU 7th Environment Action Program, Achieving the objective “resource-efficient Europe” within the EU 2020 Strategy thanks to educating the pupils using energy resources efficiently, taking immediate actions towards deforestation, environmental pollution, recycling and reuse of wastes, protection of nature and environment, global warming. Additionally, developing consciousness of the Active European citizenship among participants via the atmosphere created by cooperation of the partners from diverse cultural background, improving participants digital skills among the European Priorities via the web tools used in activities.We conducted the project together with 5 secondary partner schools: Turkey (Konya) as the coordinator country, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Turkey (Izmir). Eco friendly actions were divided into project subtitles according to expertise area and previous experiences of the partners that partner schools had already experienced in. All the participants were stimulated to take greater efforts to live eco-friendly life through sharing good practices in LTTs.There were 3 LTT (Estonia, Sauga; Turkey, Konya; Lithuania, Kaunas) and 2 TPM (Romania, Amara; Turkey Izmir) meetings, as it was planned in the application form. The ultimate aim of TPMs was to manage, control of the process; evaluate LTTs, activities, reports qualitatively and quantitatively. In the first year, there was the LTT activity in Estonia, April 2017, about sharing of the good practices of saving energy and natural sources and alternative energy sources. In the second year, the second LTT activity was held in Turkey, Konya, November 2017; protection of nature, reforestation and alternative energy source solar-energy. The third LTT activity was held in Lithuania, May 2018; protection of environment and natural sources as the host countries had good practices in those areas to share with other participants.Management of the project: partners set up budget keeping, time management, audit and coordination committees; and a common project executive board. The whole process was under control via Quality Control Plan.Project activities and results: There were several questionnaires as expectation and satisfaction, project website created (www.ecofriendlyactions.net) , working on e-twinning project platform for two years (https://twinspace.etwinning.net/44402/home) , Final Products (available online in order to have a short look) (https://padlet.com/ceren35/9dryk3fak5jx), project corridor and room with the activities information on them, the contests of project emblem, slogan, posters; counting carbon footprint at schools and giving the suggestions for reducing it; conducting Eco Schools activities for two years (http://www.ecoschools.global/) and applying for green flag award and getting it; creating the project e-magazine, project calendar, e-book for recycle of wastes; organizing photographs and video competitions, organic garden activities; conducting quality control and financial reports during and after the project. Four partners; Tr Konya and İzmir, Lithuania, Estonia got green flag award for the 2018-2020 period thanks to Action plans conducted for two years.
