<< Background >>The basis for the Virtual Stroll Across Europe project is the project developed by our project coordinator, Alma Cacan. During the COVID-19 online school, in her Croatian classes, she connected the direct student experience of the urban space and the world of literary works, while at the same time developing creativity and strengthening students’ digital competencies. Since the students have shown great interest in participating in the project and that their responses to such a way of connecting the subject with the public space, while easily achieving the outcomes of the Croatian language and interdisciplinary topics, were positive, among the teachers at Classical Grammar School there was a desire to continue developing and improving the good practices and to rise them to the international level. We saw the potential of expanding the topics to all aspects of culture and the possibility of using the resulting materials in teaching. However, since educational materials must meet the quality standards in terms of content, but also in technical terms, we realized that we do not have the capacity to further develop the project by ourselves and that we will need associates to help us acquire digital competences needed to make satisfactory videos.Given that the teachers in Classical Grammar School have positive experiences with various projects and have successfully cooperated with other schools, but mostly in Croatia, there was a desire to internationalise the school and launch an international project. Projects have a positive impact on the quality of education in general and offer students the opportunity for non-formal experiential learning, and in the international environment, the language and communication competences of students will further be strengthened. In addition, researching the history, culture and traditions of different European countries and noticing their similarities develops awareness of European citizenship, but also of the specifics of each culture, thus increasing tolerance and acceptance of diversity. Therefore, we decided to look for partners from other European countries who are also interested in exploring cultural links between different European cultures and are willing to specialise in creating educational videos about Europe’s cultural heritage. Also, we decided to look for partners who have experience with non-formal learning related to the media and developed methodology for educating students about the process of creating videos.The most important need that our project plans to address is the need for digital educational resources and the development of digital competencies in both students and teachers. The need for such resources was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic when all educational processes were switched from in-class lessons to online lessons. The interactive map as a result of this project responds to the need for digital forms of student-centered teaching, innovative and interactive digital educational materials, and the inclusion of innovative approaches, such as project teaching and international cooperation in education. In the circumstances of a pandemic and the sudden digitalization of teaching, it is necessary to find new ways of expressing students' creativity using digital tools, which are applicable in teaching. Students have a pronounced potential for acquiring digital skills, but it is usually not structured, nor constructively oriented. The project will develop a conscious use of digital technologies and encourage the development and application of digital competencies in the school environment. Teachers are faced with the need for more developed digital knowledge and for new forms of teaching and teaching content. The project will provide open access to digital educational content, as well as education for recording and editing their own educational content.<< Objectives >>The three-year KA2 project Virtual Stroll Across Europe (VISA EU), created in cooperation with the Classical Grammar School Zagreb as a coordinator and partner high schools from Greece, Bulgaria and Spain, is intended for high school students (15-18 years) and teachers from Europe.The main goal of the project is to create an interactive map of partnership school cities, produce 8 short videos per partner and integrate street view, an interactive virtual walk, which will present the cultural heritage of partnership cities. The map will be integrated into the Google Maps platform, where video materials with an innovative approach and purpose for schools are added to the already existing content, as well as street view, which will be designed, recorded and edited by students - participants of the project. In addition to the interactive map and video materials, online video lessons for educating students and teachers will be developed in the project.Such resources can be used in both online and in-class lessons of various subjects – History, Geography, Foreign Languages, etc. Since the materials will be available online, everyone will be able to use them despite not participating in the original project. The participants of the project will design content, write synopses and record videos that will present each of the partnership cities. This will encourage students to explore their own cultural heritage. Various recording techniques will be applied, such as drone recording and street view recording methods, in order to encourage the strengthening of digital competencies of students and teachers as well as creativity and innovation in filming and editing. The project encourages new ways of creative expression with the help of digital tools and innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to learning. Project participants will also explore their own heritage and the heritage of other participating countries, and design, create and publicly share videos on the Google Maps platform thus developing intercultural awareness and awareness of European citizenship. For example, participants will explore the cultural ties between Zagreb and other cities and will record materials at selected locations in Zagreb that represent the connection between cities and two European cultures.Planned activities consist of three joint staff meetings in partner countries, four student exchanges in all partner countries with the aim of making video materials, check-up online meetings upon completion of individual project activities and closing conferences in each partnership country. This project will strengthen the key competencies of students and teachers such as interdisciplinary cooperation and innovative approaches to education. Urban spaces will become places for researching culture and places of learning, improving digital competencies and applying what has been learned. By preparing content in a foreign language (English) and communicating with students from other countries, students will develop their language competencies and gain experience of international learning.For the teachers involved in the project, these activities will make their work more attractive and in line with the digital age, and they will also improve their digital competencies.<< Implementation >>The planned activities of this project include: 3 joint staff meetings in all of the partnership countries, 4 student exchanges in all the partnership countries and a final conference in each partnership country. The project begins with an ONLINE KICK-OFF MEETING in November 2021, where we will agree on the ways to achieve the basic objectives of the project, the team structure and the selection of the participants. Everyone will receive a form for the preparation of content / ideas that everyone develops until the arrival of the first meeting. The FIRST JOINT STAFF MEETING will be held in ZAGREB in January 2022, which is attended by teams of teachers and students. The content of the video material will be planned, there will be training on synopsis and script development filming and editing training and post-production training. From November 2021 to May 2022, research will be conducted on what city will be filmed and drafts of synopses and scenarios will be prepared, and knowledge of video editing and editing will be applied. In May 2022, a SECOND JOINT STAFF MEETING will be held in BULGARIA (SOFIA), where all groups will show their progress and show the first videos made. After the meeting in the partner schools, the recording and editing of the video material on the basis of the acquired experiences continues. In September 2022, the FIRST STUDENT EXCHANGE will take place in ZAGREB, which includes a translation workshop, recording material, presenting a video, exchanging experiences and commenting on links with other partner cities. In the preparatory phase for student exchange, all participants explore what they will be filming in the city to which the exchange is travelling. 7 students per partner and 2 teachers participate in the exchange. By August 2022, the post-production of the video material and the placement of one selected video on the map will be finalized. Each partner posts one video, a team of teachers from each country filters the content and selects the best ones for postings on the map. In December 2022, the THIRD JOINT MEETING will be held in GREECE (THESSALONIKI). Experiences and examples of good practice will be exchanged, the materials made will be presented, and an additional workshop will be held. An ONLINE CHECK-UP MEETING will be held in March 2023. In March 2023, there will be a SECOND STUDENT EXCHANGE in BULGARIA (SOFIA). It is planned to record the material and discuss the newly discovered links with partner cities. By July 2023, the post-production of the videos and the placement of the selected ones on the map will be completed. A team of teachers from each country filters the content and selects the best ones for publications on the map. An ONLINE CHECK-UP MEETING will be held in June 2023. In September 2023, there will be a THIRD STUDENT EXCHANGE in GREECE (THESSALONIKI). Materials will be recorded, links with partner cities will be discussed. An ONLINE CHECK-UP MEETING will be held in February 2024. By February 2024, the selection of videos and the placement of the selected ones on the map will be finalized. In March 2024, there will be a FOURTH STUDENT EXCHANGE in SPAIN (MIERES) where materials will be recorded and links with partner cities will be discussed. In June 2024, CHECK-UP MEETING will be held in SPAIN (MIERES) and videos about Mieres will be presented. In August 2024, FINAL CONFERENCES will be held in each partner country. The participants in such a conference in Zagreb will be representatives of schools, the Agency for Education, the Ministry of Science and Education, the Zagreb Tourist Board, associations involved in the development of media literacy and the media. Also, the dissemination of project results will be carried out by teachers' presentations at meetings of professional councils at the school, county, inter-county and state levels. The completion of the project is planned for July 2024.<< Results >>The expected results of our project are: an interactive map, videos with an innovative approach (8 videos per partner = 32 videos by the end of the project), educational recording and editing workshops for students and teachers, digital education (video lectures) for mastering the basics of scriptwriting, filming and editing, 3 joint staff training events in all partner countries, 4 student exchanges in all partner countries with the aim of making video materials, closing conferences in each partner country, exhibition ‘Behind the scenes’, promotional posters with QR codes that are connected to the Google map of the project, a section dedicated to the project on the school's website, promotional materials: T-shirts or umbrellas, bags, etc. with QR code of the card, promotional material for student exchanges.As a result of this project, an interactive map with video materials on selected locations in the cities of the partner schools will be created. It will be designed by using the My Maps option on the Google Maps platform. The user-created layer displays a map with all the data provided by the general map of the GoogleMaps platform with additional content set by the user. The map created in this way can be shared in the form of a link or QR code, which makes it easily accessible and allows sharing on all social networks, can be easily integrated into sites such as school websites and downloaded to a computer. The map remains permanently available, can be edited in real time and can be updated indefinitely. Next, an interactive map, responds to the need for student-centered teaching, innovative and interactive educational materials, and the inclusion of innovative approaches, such as project teaching and international cooperation in education. It also serves as an important tool in developing students' digital competence. One of the innovative elements within the project is certainly the usage of digital technology and the predominant medium of video and street view in the processing of cultural heritage. The value of the project is also that it encourages students to design and create educational videos that can be used in teaching, but also for tourism purposes, and are related to the curricula of various subjects and interdisciplinary topics (English, entrepreneurship, ICT, learn how to learn, civic education, personal development). The project encourages young people to get to know other people's cultures and to cooperate internationally, thus making young people aware of their common European identity. The recorded materials will be in English and will be publicly available on the Google Maps platform where all interested teachers from all over the world will be able to use them in teaching in accordance with the subject curricula of their subject. Students will develop their foreign language competencies by translating from their mother tongue into English for video recording purposes. The materials will be able to be used in teaching foreign languages, history, geography, etc., and will be suitable for use in classrooms and distance learning.Another result of the project is a series of four video lectures adapted to students who have no experience in making video materials on making synopses and scripts, using camera equipment, recording, editing and directing educational video content. Video lectures will be recorded in English and are primarily intended for students and their teachers from all partner countries interested in self-study on synopsis and scripting and recording and editing of videos that present the cultural and historical sights of the cities from which the partner schools come. With the help of video lectures, the development of the use of ICT in teaching and extracurricular activities will be encouraged, and the digital competencies of students and their mentors will be developed.
