"First it should be noted that the Liceo ""Basile"" of Palermo has declined to participate in the project following approval. This resulted in the inability to conduct expected mobility to Palermo. For this reason the project coordinator, the IISS Archimede, given the unavailability or inability of other schools to accommodate a mobility, has agreed to organize in Taranto 2 mobility, in order to guarantee the predifined standards . Context/background For those cities that have to make the sea a vital resource from every point of view, touristic, economic, etc it is essential that new generations become aware of that, it was decided therefore to carry out a project that would develop skills and consciousness about the importance of the marine resource in their livesObjectivesThis project is part of school curricula since you can't ignore STEM disciplines. We have attempted to highlight the importance of the sea in their daily lives to bring students to the scientific disciplines and increase their interest through new methods of study, trying to create a harmonious relationship with nature. A further really important goal is to provide opportunities for students to realize a sort of international cooperation, open their horizons with an international partnership and promote peer learning among students and teachers from different Nations Profiles of the partners Italy-Taranto - The name of the school is I.I.S.S. “Archimede” and it joins two kinds of school: a vocational school in Taranto whose main subjects are mechanical, electrics, naval and fashion and a Technical Institute, named “Falanto” in a Taranto suburb area named Talsano, whose main subjects are: computer technology, electronics and telecommunications. It is a public school with about 750 students.Croatia - The Croatian school is Secondary school Antun Matijašević Karmaneo Vis (Croatia).

We tried to obtain a different better students' attitude towards nature, to safeguard it for the future and to learn strategies, as peer learning. To stimulate a major interest of students we have also used innovative teaching techniques to develop research and evaluation skills. The project tried to develop, referring to the specific design theme, the awareness of the importance of our seas in daily life, even by virtue of local and global opportunities it can provide. In general terms, however, the project sought to provide participants with a greater awareness of the possibilities that exist to study and work in other European countries and also the importance of knowledge of one or more languages for a better communication. It was highlighted the concept of European citizenship. The long term benefits of this project will be precisely those of having transmitted to students, in particular, but also to teachers the idea of European citizenship that Erasmus projects also promote through mobility allowing to know social contexts that many students would be unable to meet by themselves."
