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.
