The project 'Europeanize Yourself One Europe One People' is a 24 month-European project based on exchanging about multiculturalism and discovering others through the use of sports. The partner countries are Portugal, Ireland, Sweden and Iceland, countries with cultural similitudes when it comes to Northern Europe countries or when it comes to so-called 'Mediterranean countries'. Yet, they can also be opposite when it comes to culture, customs and traditions and languages. The main objectives of the project are numerous. First, one of the main objectives is to prove open to other cultures, espcially through the use of sports, which seems like a unifying theme that can dynamise the students and the project. In addition to this, a more cultural, social objective is planned by learning about other cultures.Then the project also aims at creating a real European network of students who will be able to live and work together, which could also help gaining self-confidence. As far as languages are concerned, there is a double objective : on the one hand, the project aims at developping the use of English as a communication tool between all partners and correspondants and then, on the other hand, it aims at discovering the languages from each country (Icelandic, Swedish, French, Portuguese, Gaelic). Concerning the teachers and staff members, the main objective is to lead both groups and activities in a foreign language, to prepare the students to meet youngsters from other countries and to work with European partners and create educational projects and share best practices. This Erasmus+ project also wants to strengthen cultural exchanges, inter-disciplinary work, and on a wider scale, aims at reflecting in European web on building up classes, using European competencies, modify methods, practices and validating skills. About the main activities, the project consists in organising and using sports activities, typical and traditional games, cultural visits and observing classes and multicutural workshops. All activities will be led in mixed groups so as to get to know about each other and in order to communicate with everyone. Some activities will take place at school, in workshops and others outdoors when it comes to museum visits, cultural visits. Some associations will also come and help organise traditional or more dynamic activities or even reflexion times about diversity. To conclude, the results and impacts have been reached and have led to some long term results such as the creation of a European week in each partner country, more exchanges, a second Erasmus+ project started in 2017 with Portugal about sharing science and maths good practices, the promotion of languages and more inter-disciplinary projects. In the long run, it will be more meaningful for students in class who will also benefit from a more cultural open-mindedness , for example they could go on professional trainings throughout Europe or go study abroad. As far as teachers are concerned, they have the possibility to start KA1 projects between teachers, more communication in general on the etwinning platform for example and also apply to new Erasmus+ cooperation projects. They can also keep in touch and organise exchanges as has been the tradition since 2010 at Collège Icare.

IC Green- in a changing world. Being convinced that young people and their teachers need a variety of key competences, including environmental awareness and ICT knowledge to manage those changes successfully, we improved the quality of our education and contributed to a more sustainable, smarter European economy. During this project our pupils became eco-conscious citizens of the EU. We worked together and found efficient approaches to reach the Europe 2020 targets. Our project had three objectives that consisted of several skills:The first objective was a professional one: It was based on two pillars: ICT and green energy.Pupils and teachers became more familiar with ICT tools and we boosted their scientific skills. They learnt more about Green energies and its importance for their daily lives. By combining scientific knowledge with the participants’ daily tools, we raised their motivation and interest in scientific issues. The pupils have to be equipped with required skills to be qualified workers within the global labour market. The second objective was a linguistic one: In our globalized world it is almost impossible to get a job without speaking a foreign language. We equipped our pupils with the required knowledge and we wanted participants to become aware of this necessity. We enabled pupils who had never been abroad to train communication in a foreign language and to find out their capacity to use it in direct communications. So they also gained confidence and awareness of their ability to speak a foreign language. To underpin their linguistic skills, we applied strategies to improve their reading and speaking skills not only in a foreign language but also in their mother tongue.The third objective was a cultural one: We wanted participants to realize that each European country must preserve its characteristic features. Knowing how to handle these features and how to avoid misunderstandings are important skills. All the activities that have been made in collaboration between partners from different countries have helped participants to become aware of the European dimension of their professional life and have broadened their minds in order to improve the communication and interaction between citizens regardless of nationality, age, gender and origin. Participants became more tolerant, empathetic and intercultural Europeans who will contribute to equality, social cohesion and active citizenship. To achieve the project's' objectives, six schools from Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden have worked together. We actively involved participants in collaborative tasks. Pupils have benefited from the project in the following way:1. They got a picture of today’s energy consumption in their countries and studied the impacts of non-renewable energies on the environment 2. They visited Green energy facilities on a European level 3. They worked on documents related to Green energy and ICT during English lessons to become more fluent when tackling these topics 4. They made movies about Green energy 5. They prepared ICT lessons to teach pupils and teachers 6. They discovered, understood and accepted differences by working together with pupils from other countries 7. They organized energy consumption Awareness days. Teachers have benefited from the project in the following way:1. Teachers have prepared various methods to evaluate the project. 2. Teachers have been trained in using various ICT tools. 3. Teachers have taken better consideration of the needs and expectations of their pupils. 4. Teachers have become more aware of and open-minded towards new pedagogical strategies. 5. Teachers have enriched their experience in European project work. The material designed during the project was both published on the icgreen.eu website and used within different course curriculum subjects. Moreover, it is accessible for other schools by means of the Erasmus + Project Results Platform and Etwinning.Besides pupil and teacher-centered activities, we also improved key competences which can be used like a toolbox in daily life:1. Improvement of digital competences to communicate with participants from partner schools, to create materials, to evaluate and to improve the quality of general and vocational education.2. Improvement of scientific knowledge: Pupils were sensitized to scientific issues and to describe scientific phenomena and found access to STEM knowledge.3. Improvement of linguistic skills in a foreign language and mother tongue in order to be able to communicate with people from different countries. 4. Cultural awareness: Getting to know other cultures reduced prejudices, which led to a more tolerant attitude. 5. Intercultural competence: Participants were enabled to interact appropriately with students and teachers from other countries.

The project ” All for a greener Europe” is based on mutual interest of the participants towards a more environmentally conscious life and is devoted to work on topics related to nature, green tourism and eco tourism. It is composed of seven countries Abergele-Conwy (Wales), Istanbul(Turkey), Bremen(Germany), Bydgoszcz (Poland), Gran Canary (Spain), Karlskrona (Sweden), Horjul (Slovenia), La Spezia (Italy). All of the participating countries are aware of the dramatic situation caused by Global warming and are aware of the fact that transportation, travelling and tourism are also contributors to the greenhouse effect.Our main goal is to analyse current trends in tourism and promote future trends which are inter-twinned with culture, traditions environment and heritage. By involving international cooperation, we will compare cultural and eco-tourism with standard tourism and solve tourism related problems finding new creative methods and techniques.The main issues are to provide students and teachers with a deeper understanding of responsible tourism and to widen their knowledge in subjects connected to culture, history, traditions, gastronomy, environmental protection, English language and ICT whilst integrating students who come from different cultural backgroundsThe project promotes a development away from typical consumer oriented tourism towards tourism that focuses on cultural and environmental encounters and requires more responsibility from the key figures in tourism: tourists and specialists in tourism alike.Completing the project tasks and activities (visiting each other‘s countries, making mini–tour guides and itineraries, creating presentations and booklets etc.) will prepare our students to become open-minded, culture-conscious citizens and skilled travellers, who are consciously protecting the value of their touristic environment.International cooperation - common methods based on cooperative learning - will let us build a group and will promote collaboration. The project will put schools into cooperation with local, national and international institutions and organisations and it will encourage cross-curricular approaches. In order to get the partners to work towards a common purpose, staff will interact effectively with each other, creating international teams and sharing experiences whilst providing a unique opportunity for partners to input their own expertise and learn from each other.The project will have both intangible results (new content learned by the participants, improved learning in relevant subject areas, new skills acquired )and tangible results (concrete products). We will use the outcomes as a measure of the extent to which the project has contributed to the learning experiences of those involved and the quality of education on offer in the schools participating. The partnership will have a positive impact on the participating institutions by building a community consisting of teachers and students who have a strong commitment to and a sense of ownership of the project. By creating and carrying out several creative dissemination techniques and activities, it will also enable a wider community (stakeholders, parents, school authorities, hotels )to benefit from our partnership in the long run.
