On the MoveThe history of the European states participating in this project has shown that migration especially for political and economic reasons has always existed. Furthermore there have always been movements from one country to the other by individuals for private purposes like visits or holidays. However, the number of migrants (emigrants and immigrants) has increased a lot over the recent years and due to this increase in migration discussions in society about topics like integration, cultural values etc. have deepened heavily. The changes that European states are confronted with have been enormous. At schools these alterations can be seen when looking at the increasing cultural diversity that classes nowadays have and the rising heterogeneity in performance within classes. The main topic of the project is to analyse to what extent the flow of visitors and migrants has influenced the culture of the home and of the host country in the past and to show that these changes have become a natural and positive feature of our lives. This will be done by an exchange of experiences during former holidays, a look into migration patterns within the family and the local community and by looking at how culture (music and food) has been influenced by migration. The project wants to help increase mutual understanding by showing the positive effects these migration patterns have and by confronting the students with foreign cultures and understandable motives for migration. The usage of digital devices like smartphones or tablets to make pupils aware of the flow of migration and the cultural variations makes sense as digitalisation is promoted intensely by politics and society on the one hand and will definitely increase pupils´ enthusiasm for the project as new apps and programmes offer many interesting possibilities of visualisation and sharing information.

All the partners of the project reached the goal to make educational process more effective and attractive through some topics as sport, music, history, art, food, traditions. All the participants had the opportunity to discover, to share, to communicate using English language. These topics played an important role in setting up and carrying out the programmed activities. In fact, it was the right way to improve in students with low academic performance motivation in studying and awareness of their abilities feeling equal with other peers. So,as underlined in the different tests before and after all the mobilities, the competences pointed out by all students are: to cooperate, to gain team abilities, to improve English language and ICTwhich helped not only the students involved but also the teachers who had the opportunity to experiment new didactic methodologies that had an impact on daily class activity too(creation of videos with Animoto; comic strips and cartoons with Scratch, Toondoo, presentations…) The monitoring of all the activities in each country, as well as the tests of the mobilities, have allowed continuously to verify and evaluate them, giving important information on the interest of the students, and the skills they reached, and on the needs of the teachers.In the same way, the realization of different products concerning the mentioned topics allowed the students to know better their region. The schedule of the mobilities and programmed activities have been respected.This project became not only the project of students with their families and teachers involved but also the project of each school. All the hosted families contributed to the success of the project and they aroused the curiosity of the other families who gave their availability for future projects.The social networks like FB and Whatshapp have allowed to keep in touch, to have permanent contact, to create new links, strong friendships among the students the teachers and the families. The official website of the project, the blogs or website of each school have been important to illustrate to all the stakeholders the progress of the project.The project also had official moments, all the partners were received by the municipal authorities The activities realized concerned: creation of official logos, official webpages, video presentations about important bridges of each country, language tutorial,videos about the most important festivals and about famous personalities, videos about the representation of an artwork, comic strips, videos about traditional food.Concerning the teachers, they were both observers and protagonists, Indeed, during the mobilities, they attended lessons independently of the taught subject, they themselves worked with the classes of the different partner countries using English language . The taught subjects were: Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, English, Economics, Art History, Greek, Lithuanian. All these activities were followed by a moment of discussion concerning the teaching techniques, the instruments used, the motivation of the students.Throughout the project, the partners discovered that technological tools could also be used to favour the interest of weaker students and , in general, lessons were no longer frontal;students became the protagonists of their knowledge by conducting research, collaborating with their peers, sharing their discoveries.The impact of the project has been very significant. The students have improved their language skills in English and their knowledge about other European countries as underlined in the tests before and after the mobilities; they learned through workshops to appreciate the values of the European Union, to promote solidarity, to fight against racism and intolerance; students with economical and/or educational difficulties had the opportunity to move and to improve their own motivation. Students and teachers implemented together their knowledge about new educational programs and they opened their mind to new way of living and fostered the curiosity about different cultures.Teachers involved in the project spoke and wrote constantly in English and some teachers improved their competences, so that some of them got a B2 certificate after following an English course. All teachers used new technologies and created digital materials on websites and platforms transferring all what they acquired in their everyday lessons and sharing it with other colleagues.In order to disseminate the ideas of the project, in every country the school community was informed through meetings, conferences, video presentations and other. Many products have been realized as leaflets, posters, pens with the logo of the project... In Greece an olive tree was planted as a souvenir of the project and as a symbol ofour awareness of European identity, that has grown in all participants and will grow stronger and stronger with deep roots throughout time and barriers.

Since we live in the world in which a great role is played by mass media and modern technologies, we have decided to use them to make the learning process better and more effective. Lots of schools are equipped with modern facilities, which we would like to use to pursue our common goal – innovative education that goes beyond the borders of our countries. During the two years of realising the project we want to lay emphasis on using information and communication technologies. At the very beginning the participants will exchange their contact details and make contacts with the use of applications for mobile devices such as Viber and WhatsApp. Students and teachers will take part in monthly lessons using Skype. What is more, these groups will work with digital equipment i.e. cameras and video cameras. Thanks to that they will learn how to edit films and photos. The participants will know how robots work and they will create them by themselves. They will learn how to make presentations in Prezi and animations in Scratch. Undoubtedly, the great advantage of the project will be using the school electronic platform which enables communication between students, teachers and parents. The participants will manage the official website of our project. While travelling abroad we will learn from each other and share our experience during regular classes as well as workshops organised at schools and outside. We are planning to make interesting and more innovative lessons e.g. in a museum or as a meeting with a famous person. A very important element of our actions will be an analysis of the local job market made by students. Afterwards, the students will have to draw conclusions and carry out research on jobs that will be popular in the future and what stages will be necessary to go through in order to get these jobs. The students will learn how to write a CV and job applications as well as they will take part in job interviews. The emphasis will be put on communication in English. We will check students' progress by giving them tests every several months. Students from poor or dysfunctional families who are at risk of social exclusion and digital divide will be involved in the project. The actions in which they will be engaged will enable them to believe in themselves, achieve probably their first success, gain self-confidence and learn independence. Regular contacts of students and teachers with their international partners will be a crucial aspect of good cooperation. We are planning to achieve it thanks to the partnership on the eTwinning platform, where all the participants will chat and present their products. Regular evaluation made by students and teachers after each foreign travel will help us notice advantages and set out guidelines for future in order to make our cooperation better. It is obvious that modern technologies are not just the objective of the project but we will use them to get familiar with cultures and traditions of the participating countries – the places, dances, songs, dishes, customs and ways of spending free time popular in our regions.
