"Due to the increase in the unemployment rate, a consequent number of disadvantaged families, a growing number of foreign families, there is a need to make the school a place to prevent disease, build a confident and collaborative mood, enhance the students' resources in order to avoid early school leaving. In this context we think that our project can meet these needs. Furthermore, it is shared with our partners because it provides the implementation of creativity, activities and subjects and the awareness of being the part of the European community. Last but not least, the project greatly innovates teaching. The main theme of this project is music because we are sure that music is a really effective way to connect people from the whole world and that it encourages people to communicate in foreign languages and to improve their social and cultural skills.This project consists of the cooperation of five countries and it is aimed at realizing the international Erasmus+ CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA . All the schools already have an experience of partnerships and most of them have already worked together. As a matter of fact, the project was precisely outlined thanks to a previous experience of three partners from an Erasmus+ music project called „Together to Enjoy, Join to Learn”. 20 students from each country at the ages of nine to sixteen will take part in foreign mobilities to become a part of an international choir and orchestra. They will rehearse together, play concerts, learn more about author rights in each country, experience different culture, way of living and other aspects of spending one week in a host family abroad. On the other hand, groups of students of each school will be involved in the project without participating directly in the students mobility. There will be hundreds of students engaged in the partnership. The partners will choose songs on which the pupils will work and produce materials. These songs will be used for the international concerts with all the involved students and teachers singing and playing their musical instruments side by side. The students will work on these songs, discus the themes, research information about authors, biography, curiosities, music genres and they will record and make special videos of their national folk songs. The inspiration to do these videos comes from a worldwide project called ""Playing for Change"" (you can see an example of the way we would like to do the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM).The outcomes and results of this students’ activity will not only be a “songbook”, five ""Play for Chance"" musical videos and other learning and teaching materials but also the implementation of English language and the development of ICT, music and European citizenship skills. There will be a continuous action of preparation and evaluation of all materials, and the analysis of the results covering all the aspects. We will measure the process, outcomes, musical competence, digital competence, language competence and European competence. The expected impact on the students will also be visible in the improvement of emotional competences and other capabilities concerning life-competences, such as cooperation, integration and contribution to mutual respect to fight prejudices. Moreover, teachers will greatly benefit from the activity because they will enrich and innovate their teaching and will definitely learn to communicate in foreign language better. The authentic experience created in international classes, the cooperation and preparation of music and singing together will allow everyone to adopt a holistic approach. As a result, it will facilitate the learning process in the students, increase their motivation by making them be part of an educational and inclusive project. All the activities, documents, learning/teaching materials will be published in a project website, twinspace, facebook page and Erasmus + Project result platform."

Because of the growing of the unemployment rate and consequent number of disadvantaged families, and of the growing number of foreign families it is stressed the need to make the school a place where to prevent disease, building a confidential and collaborative mood, enhance the students' resources in order to avoid early school leaving; In this context we think that our project can meet these needs because it provides also the implementation of creativity, of activities and subjects and of the awareness to be part of the European community, in adition to the innovation of teaching. This project consists of the cooperation of five countries and it is aimed to realize an Erasmus Plus CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA . All the schools have already an experience of partnerships and most of them already worked together. As a matter of facts, the project was precisely outlined thanks to a previous experience of the partners. 16 students from the partner countries travelled abroad to realize the choir and orchestra concerts. Groups of students of each school were involved in the project without participating actively in the students mobility. There have been around 500 students involved in the partnership. The partners have chosen the songs and the pupils started to produce materials. These songs were performed in three the international concerts in Poland, Portugal and Italy.The students discussed themes, played the music, researched info about authors, biography, curiosity, music genre, etc. Some of them met their pairs during students’ mobilities and the concerts. Other outcomes and result were a “songbook” , a music vocabulary , an online song dictionary, a virtual music museum, a project calendar. As far as the songbook is concerned, we put in some info of each song, the score and some activities or games related to the songs. The arrangements were done by our music teachers except for the score of the songs played in the concert of Portugal, because in that occasion the Portuguese team provided a band composed by their students, so in the songbook the most part is arranged by our teams and only a short part is taken from the internet ( only regarding the music score). Other teaching materials have been published it is important to underline thet also the competences were implemented like English language, ICT, music and European citizenship ones. We have produced score and arrangementfor all the songs of the concerts, by the music project team. During the pandemic we have found a different way to cooperate and to sing together online through specific software that allowed to edit more videos in an unique one. So we have some multiscreen songs. The last mobility was vitual as so as the last concert that was supposed to be in Czech Republic. We edited 5 songs, were all the partner took part, playing instruments and singing. There was a continuous action of preparation and evaluation of the materials, and the analysis of the results covered all the aspects: process, outcomes, digital competence, language competence and European competence. The impact on the students was really positive because they implemented also emotional competences and other capabilities concerning life-competences such as supporting cooperation, integration and contribution to mutual respect. Teachers have benefit of the activity because they could innovate their teaching. Also the virtual mobility was an authentic experience made in international context because all the participants had to be in touch and to prepare their tasks, cooperating , playing and singing in distance as if they were together. The students felt to be be part of an educational and inclusive project . All the activities, documents, learning/teaching materials are published in the project website, twinspace, facebook page and Erasmus + Project result platform.
