It’s inevitable that in classroom athmosphere there’ll be problems between foreign and domestic students since they come from different cultural backgrounds. While one group have to adapt to the conditions of a new country the other group have difficulty in understanding the traumas in the lives of newcomers. To learn the level of harmony between native and foreign students at high school level, we conducted a survey for both of them in our school and province. As the result, foreign students stated that they were discriminated against, had difficulty in communicating with their peers, faced racism and bullying. Most of the native students also felt uncomfortable living together with their foreign friends and had a negative point of view towards them. It’s clear that these problems affect classroom athmosphere, interrupt teaching, distract students and affect learning process.Therefore, we intend to decrease the problems of socially excluded refugees and prevent their intention to early school leaving. We will also create an awareness about diversity and non-discrimination and tackle discrimination, segregation and racism by including refugee and native students together to the mobilities and project activities at school. We especially have established a partnership countries which host refugees and they have the similar problems.We will arrange activities to promote the integration of refugees, asylum seekers and newly arrived migrants and raise awareness about the refugee crisis in our partner countries.Our main objective in this project is to contribute to finding solutions to adaptation problems between domestic and immgirant/refugee high school students. We offer the unifying power of fine arts to dissolve differences in a common pot. We all know that art doesn’t have any specific religion, language or race. It doesn’t belong to any class or country but to the humanity. Thus we will organize art events where native and foreign students will spend time, work and enjoy themselves together . What they produce in the end will be all of theirs, of migrant backgrounds and native ones.We are planning to engage in immigrant/refugee and local students by using the unifying power of fine arts. In this way, we want to contribute to raising a youth that is free from prejudices, conscious about discrimination, has a sense of empathy and sees solidarity between cultures and races as wealth. While carrying out cultural interaction, we aim to increase school attendance and success and improve foreign language and communication skills of all our students by benefiting from the opportunities of technology . Our planned activities will help us achieve all these goals. Each participating country will have an important share in achieving the goals we want to reach by planning local and international events . Each partner country will play a role in the realization of our goals by using the most appropriate art branch for its culture and experience. Domestic and foreign students will take part together in all activities.Most of the participants in our project come fromlow income families and they have not been abroad before. They are all eager to take part in activities and we are planning to include about 250 students in this category to local and internatonal activities.There will be 2 mobilities in the 1st year and 3 mobilities in the 2nd year. Our planned activities are;DRAMA PLAYSStone WorkshopPandomim&MasquaradeFunny School Play Different Colours at ClassroomMUSIC Choir of United Colours‘Different Colours same rhythmPAINTING&PHOTOGRAPHY&CINEMAIf I were in your shoesStand Against SegregationUnited Digital World E-Magazine:Raising National and International Awareness It will be the coordinator's responsibility to check that all the partners can receive and respond the messages on time. Each school's project team will be responsible for all activites and preparations. There will be presentations about the host country's culture, traditions, life styles, language, food, currency, etc. before the mobilities and the students and teachers will be informed about them. The English teachers will also suggest some websites for them to develop their English.The coordinator will be responsible to check how our project is performing in relation to its aims and the workplan and allow partners to form their own judgements which can then be used as the basis for discussion. Specific examples an evaluation report will be prepared. We will take steps towards addressing any areas of weakness.We strongly believe that our project will contribute added-value to general education in locally and nationally in all countries. According to our plan, the project results will be sustainable after the end of project. For long-term benefits, other schools will directly and indirectly benefit from our project results. Our project website will be stay open when we finish the activities.

We have made an analysis about our needs and present situation with our partners about the project. We have decided to make our activities in order to find solutions to our needs. We have understood the importance of education and employment which is related in a part of the Declaration of Paris, 2015 and we have arranged the activities according to it. The life conditions didn't let us achieve our goals in education completely. So with this project our teachers have had the chance to see their students as real European citizens. The activities which had been hold in our school and during the transnational meetings have changed the teachers' negative aspects into positive ones concerning education and have increased their personal motivation at teaching. In the project, we led our teachers to be more willing about making their careers more creative and more professional, more attractive and innovative in their teaching methods. With the project activities and international project meetings, our teachers have enhanced their professional development. With the help of this project, we have supported them in dealing with diversity in the classroom. When the teachers used to meet in different countries, it has been very easy to adopt collaborative and innovative practises. This helped the teachers to determine their role in the school as leaders, and strenghtened their leadership. The project let teachers express themselves and their new approaches freely. They have discussed new approaches on thier lectures, also how to adopt them to their lectures. We were five partners in this project and we had common issues which joined us up. All participants had nearly the same school level and similar problems about the project topic.In the activities part, the dates and the subjects we have studied have been done in detail. We had 5 Ltts and 5 TPMs during the project. The teachers had been aware of the importance of improving themselves in their careers. And they have met different cultures abroad. Our students have realised their innovative and creative aspects and they have also had the opportunity of meeting foreign students from different countries by travelling abroad. So, the participants and the people they met will unfold their horizons while their interaction which started2 years ago it is still going on. We planned our project for 24 months. All of the activities were prepared in a way that participant schools would have integrated all of them. The partner schools' roles in the project have been equally important. The project activities have been done regularly according to their importance and some activities were repeated so that they could become lifestyles. One of the most important part of our project was sustaining equality in education among the students. Our priorities in our project were; exchanging students in short-term, LTTs helped them in developing group work skills, sharing, learning cultures, respecting the others, using technology in daily life.Gathering students and teachers from different cultures, has improved their perspectives about life finding solutions to different problems in their life.

"The current COVID-19 crisis has caused very important social and pedagogical changes. Currently, face-to-face training cannot be conducted worldwide, due to the pandemic. Therefore, Millions of people started to receive education through open and distance education but in UNICEF (2020), it states that the risk of dropping out of school in the future increases especially for vulnerable and disadvantaged students, as the effects of the pandemic will last longer. To this end, measures should be taken to prevent interruption of education and continuous and flexible remote monitoring for all children in the home, including those without internet access or those living with disabilities. Therefore, we have decided to make this partnership because we want students to be educated without any restrictions and beyond the concepts of time and place. This partnership aims to promote innovative practices in a digital era and reinforce the development of key competences.PARTICIPANTS The target groups of our project are the students between14 and 19 and teachers as main actors/actresses of education and training. The students come form different environments, with financial and social problems, the risk of school drop out, low marks, special needs and of different religions.Our GENERAL OBJECTIVE is to reinforce the ability of education and training institutions to provide high quality, inclusive digital education and develop digital pedagogical competences of educators (minimum 60% of the target group).Our SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES are;- improving our teachers' digital competencies by at least 50% at the end of 2 years - motivating students to take lessons in distance education and increasing their active participation- enabling students and parents to participate in education and training even when they are away from school- reducing the risks of social exclusionACTIVITIES;There will be 3 TPMs (1 online and 2 physical), 5 LTTs, 2 outputs and 1 multiplier event.TPM 1 will be in Spain and official opening and task sharing will be issues will be handled.TPM 2 will be online and general evaluation of the project activities will be done.TPM 3 will be in Spain and Final of the project and the Multiplier Event will be organised.C1 (Spain)- ""Don't Take the Bait"" is the meeting about digital ethics and security and preparing digital educational materials and using them in distance education.C2 (Lithuania)- ""How to Be Social or How to Do Social"" is about measurement and evaluation in distance education and digital rights and reponsibilities.C3 (Spain)- ""Clickable Intelligence Amplifiers"" is about including Web 2.0 and other similar digital tools in distance education and solving environmental problem using WEB 2.0 tools.C4 (Romania)- ""Beyond the Source of Information"" is about digital educational games on students' personal development and digital competencies for digital citizenship.C5 (Turkey)- ""Use Social Media Water for Social Media Fire"" is about a workshop on media literacy and critical thinking, effective communicationhow to inquire and produce information from a critical perspective.O1- ""e-Learning Facilitator"" is a mobile application as a kind of support desk and consists of 4 parts; Educational, Social, Administrative and Technical support.O2- ""www.onlineallinone.com"" is a web page that will be created for the needs of teachers in distance education, for providing them suitable digital materials for their branches and helping them create theirs.RESULTS AND IMPACT;Teachers will be able to use and prepare appropriate distance learning materials for their own lessons. On the other hand, the students will develop their digital competencies, increase their self-confidence, and willingly participate in collaboration and teamwork and families will learn what they need to do in this period.Project partners will develop their digital competencies and implement other partners' good practices in their own schools. In this way, a common practice will create a common school culture. They will try different education and training methods. The project will ensure the dissemination and sharing of good practices at international level.Thanks to the project, we will establish a closer cooperation between different educational institutions. We will continue cooperation among schools, Guidance and Research centers and the universities and use this for the benefit of students to build their future careers.LONG TERM BENEFITS;The outputs of the project will be free for the use of public so that many people can benefit from them. Good practices gained in mobilities will be shared at regional level and many teachers will be able to apply the new approaches of distant teaching and many students will be able to overcome their problems due to it.All the outcomes and the outputs of the project will be permanently developed and used at partners' and other schools"

Leading Future Minds is a two-year project which has partners from Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania and Turkey who have determined determined target groups' needs and made a decission to cooperate on a European level in order to teach students to develop their research, questioning, innovative, creative, critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills and help the to shape their future career because they don't care about future labour market needs and necessary skills for the labour market. International collaboration will improve students' teamwork, risk taking, critical thinking, leadership, respecting others' opinions and completing tasks, language learning. The future success of the children in their career is the key to their progress, creativity and problem solving and they adapt STEAM to every aspect of their lives and and to solve problems by using different aspects for their school subjects. This project which will bring new opportunities and reinforce the sense of belonging to a common European space and international collaboration will form sustainable tools to promote major concepts and achieve goals by combining the new technology with science and art. Our main aim is to make a great impact on students, staff, parents and other local stakeholders. By involving all participants, we believe that we will be able to strengthen the links between education, business, research and innovation sectors. As we have young groups, it will be helpful for them to develop their social entrepreneurial skills. An unique perspective of our work is the strong connection and cooperation among different fields of education in local areas which will assure the major positive impact of our project. objectives are creating students' research, questioning, innovative, creative, critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills, making them shape their future career, raising awareness on gender equality and developing professional skills of teachers.Our project participants are students between 14-18, teachers, parents, other school staff and wider public. We have planned LTTs as; Care Your Environment For Your Future, We Have OnlyOne Planet, A Lievable Greener World, Imagine-Model and Create and e-Twinnining; The World's Digital Network.Thanks to the activities, learners and teachers will observe, understand, and compare teaching methods in Europe. Moreover, these activities, when compared with the activities on nationally, will improve European collaboration and understanding and respecting of cultures. It will make the participants break down the barriers and prejudices. Participants in local national activities and international Learning/Training activities will have workshops, courses from professional lecturers, interactive games, cultural festivals, awareness of different lifestyles and they will have new knowledge and competences to bring back to their own school and communities. Our partnership with more international schools through e-Twinning will help us share our tools, activities and outputs and disseminate them with wider groups of people. Teachers at the same time will gain a lot of ideas to to adapt to their lessons. They will have a chance to colaborate with other colleagues and they will share their good practices.The communication and working language of our project will be English. As we want to get an effective communication between the participating institutions, we will have valid e-mail addresses, postal addresses, websites, Facebook groups, mobile phone numbers and arrange video conferences by using programmes such as Messenger, Skype,Tango etc. We will also we use Youthpass tool to stimulate participants' reflection on learning process.We have some tangible and intangible results such as interviews with the target group and teachers in the meetings, educational researches, innovative outputs and prototypes, pyhsical and artistic activities made by partners, e-books and videos of students during the project workshop, created models/production of students and certificates of attendance and europass documents.Our project will contribute to using STEAM activities during lessons at schools and effectiveness of education not only in partner schools but also in local and national ones. We will share the knowledge, experience and outputs so that people can achieve them by personal engagement, so they will be endurable and sustainable.

"According to the research of European Comission, 2017, Europe faces important challenges today. In 2015, the Paris Declaration signed bu EU Education Ministers and the European Comission called for action at European, national, regional and local levels to reinforce the role of education in promoting citizenship and the common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination. There is a strong relation between citizenship and democracy. If we want a democracy which functions well, we must have citizens with the necessary competences to think and act in a democratic way. It is obvious that citizenship cannot be thought only as creating citizens in a narrow and strictly national sense.Our main aims in this project are;1- Helping our students learn how to interact effectively, how to act in a socially responsible manner2- Developing their critical thinking3- Guiding them about caring community and taking responsibility to improve their environment4- Respecting the authority like parents, teachers, police officers and local administrators5- Helping our students behave safely and participate responsibly online6- being a political literateThe participants in the project will be students between the age of 14-18, teachers, other school staff, families, public and public authorities. The students in the risk group (early school leaving, missing classes, academic failure, divorced, separated or having low income families) will also take part in the project.Enthusiastic teachers and the teachers whose branches are directly related to our subject will be encouraged to be in the project. We will have 2 LTTs in the first and 3 LTTs in the second year.C-1 Democracy Workshop; to enable them interact effectively and usefully with other people in a responsible manner.C-2 Clean Environment Clean Society; to organise an activity called protect and clean your school and environment.C-3 A Short Film (Shoot Your Film); a short film to be shot by students with the theme of ""Being Kind Towards Others"" C-4 Safe and Protected; a seminar will be given by ICT teachers of our teams in order to raise the awareness and principles of students' being an active digital citizen.C-5 e-Twinning and Media Literacy about The third e-Twinning project to disseminate our Erasmus+ project results and our other activities through e-Twinning. The coordinator will be responsible for checking that all the partners keep in touch and all the planned activities are done on time. There will be at least one teacher who will be permenant and involve constantly in the project and spread information promptly in his own school. Each school will have their project teams to communicate with the others regularly. Special activities will be organised in each school at the same time. They will upload their progress status on the project website.The project coordinator and all the staff participating in 4 schools will add new experiences they gained on the previous projects and improve their teaching and learning techniques. Furthermore, a strong link between participants will be established in order to convey the innovative competencies that will increase the confidence of students in their education and training success and to reduce the risk of school failure.Our tangible results will be to;-learn how to be critical, active and digital person-learn to be collaborative and of course participative-do their best to make their home, school and community a better place to live. -use the digital technology effectively-learn/respect different cultures, values, views, ways oflives and opinions-make the students learn their rights and responsibilities as citizens.-give them social and moral responsibility-participate in activities to serve the other members of the community-protect and support cultural heritageWith the help of this project, our students will be responsible and repectful, informed about the needs od their society. They will have digital skills. They will involve every step of democracy. They will also affect their community in a good way. Moreover, we believe that our acticvities will give them self-confidence and scocial skills development. They will have information about European Union and also lifestyle and education in partner countries. They will get information about other cultures and learn to respect them. They will make a strong frienship with other partners students. They wil be motivated to study foreign languages and other school subjects, too. They will also gain the skill of working in a team and have tolerance to other opinions. Involving in group activities and working in a friendly, cooperative and respectful atmosphere will motivate them to attend school regularly, and they will feel themselves as a part of school. By this way, we believe that we will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy."
