The pedagogical principles for STE(A)M curriculum integration will be the use of methodologies: process based learning, inquiring and collaboration.Different activities have been created for face-to-face and on-line work in international teams to emulate students and teachers participation in four LECLIC Climate Change conferences Results of those activities will be google drive cloud storage of documents, logo of the project as consequence of a contest between students of the four participating schools, poster and brochure with information of the aims of the LECLIC project, school participants and meeting, eTwinning TwinSpace with all the information and documents, teaching materials corresponding to STE(A)M activities (methodologies, worksheets and implementation documents), students presentations (of their school, educational system, city, country, climate change and lifestyle in their region), Videos or photos and written reports of the STE(A)M technical visits to business eco-friendly, research and bio-medical institutions, bilateral webinars for international interchange of ideas on climate change and lifestyle, film product of the short-term contest on how to mitigate climate change and LECLIC google site.Four Secondary junior schools will participate in the projects. The four schools are sited close to the sea, in cities or small towns where different effects of climate change are observed (such as floods, increase of temperature, increase of the salinity of the water).Teachers with different backgrounds (especially from STE(A)M) subjects) will ensure ethic, scientific and social achievement of the objectives. The teacher training will help them to configure their professional problems on designing, implementing an STE(A)M curriculum in the informal setting of the project meetings and increase their capabilities concerning how to integrate it in school curriculum.Equal opportunities will be given to the students (ages 12 to 16) considering their special needs, demotivation, gender and immigration condition. The project will benefit them from enlarging their knowledge on climate change causes and consequences and their lifestyle. Students will develop global competences on critical thinking on the causes and consequences of climate change, on creative thinking to analyze their lifestyle and undertaking actions that could change their behavior on how to mitigate climate change. Working on cooperative international teams will improve students’ English language skills and will increase their understanding of the daily life, culture and language of consortium countries.In the long term, the participation in the project will help students to continue their STE(A)M or vocational studies with a background of global competences that will promote a real inclusion in the workforce in the Era of Climate Change. For teachers, the participation in the project will benefit in increasing their Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge on STE(A)M subjects, climate change and developing English skills to use them in their everyday teaching and participating in other KA229 actions.Globally, the participation in the project will help schools to project the good practices that they develop and challenge other teachers and schools to innovate. For its sustaining, the project and spread it, the LECLIC google drive, eTwinning TwinSpace and School Gateway will provide other teachers, students and families with the materials to freely download and use it. The pedagogical and methodological principles of its use will be published in national and international conferences of good practices in the STE(A)M curriculum to help other teachers and schools on the use of these materials.

    "Project „Save the life on our planet"" is designed for students aged 11 -15 years, who at this time form the opinions and attitudes towards everything.5 countries are involved in this project: Slovakia - the coordinator and partners - Italy - Sicily, Greece, Spain and Turkey. The project is focused on the recognition and protection of the life, our planet, the human relationship to the nature and life. Students are engaged in the project fundamental global problems and learn how their own effort can contribute to saving the life on the Earth via 5 main topics: the Universe, Global problems, Protection of environment, Relationships and Life in the past. Our goal is to affect students, teachers, parents and local community and show to all how important it is to protect our planet and contribute to the protection with different activities such as to separate waste, save energy, help to the poor, to respect older people with their experiences, to communicate properly in families, to have good relationship to animals, nature, people, etc. One important aim of the project is to motivate students to better outcomes in education, we focus mainly on the science subjects.During international meetings teachers and students were involved into educational process at hosting schools and directly observed and learnt the use of various innovative teaching methods practical examples using information technology. As the lessons were held in English and maybe some words in native languages and discussion of the impact was maintained in English, we noticed participants improvement in English communication and also in other foreign languages. This attractive activity had a positive impact on pupils of participating schools as well as schools in other regions.Project activities were realized at local and international level, they all were published on project website: http://savethelifeonourplanet.blogspot.sk/. Some of them were realized and published in eTwinning program: https://twinspace.etwinning.net/4712/homeWe created a lot of international results: ""Brochure of innovative teaching methods of Scientific subjects in European countries"" and DVD, e - book documented all activities, international cookery book of healthy meals, international collage and international programs during meetings in Slovakia and in Sicily, in which students showed to parents and local community their relationship to our planet and traditions in short dramas, songs, dances. Each school organized a lot of local activities to all topics such as separation of waste, collection of material - paper, battery, planting trees, cleaning seasides, talks with experts, Sport Days, Vegetable and Fruit days, charity activities, meeting with older people,...Important part of our cooperation were dissemination activities - Project Days, Erasmus Days, exhibitions at schools and public places to publicize all project results. Each school realized 5 Project Days, 2 Erasmus Days, exhibitions and bulletin boards, created promotional material - posters, brochure, invitation cards , which had positive impact to wide community. This project was very useful for students, teachers and parents because we all got great experiences, students improved the attitude to education, to foreign languages, they obtained better relationship to the life and our planet. Teachers knew better school system and exchanged teaching methods. Students knew better the natural treasure, protected areas, the cultural heritage, history and traditions of their own countries and partnership countries. National awareness of students and their self-esteem increased especially those with special needs and from poorer social backgrounds. Project had positive impact also in regions, influenced parents and wide community, many of them found the importance of protection of our environment and took part in local and international activities. Relationships in schools and families are better now, also between schools in regions. Pupils and teachers created good relationships with partnership schools, what more, students made great relationships with parents of pupils from European countries. Pupils have learnt to work in an international team and respect the cultures and lifestyles in other European countries. We all understood what the European identity means and students knew now the importance of the inter-cultural education for them and their future."
