This Project was established upon some very clear objectives having both: teaching and learning intents. The main issues we'll deal with are humanitarian issues, new learning strategies combining new methods and digital skills and the need to make our schools evolve into a new social and digital era. Having these ideas in mind the Portuguese partner (who is the main Coordinator) set a profile and searched for other partners that would fit the profile. The main focus was based upon historical contexts and geographical locations as well as humanitarian issues involving one's country. Then according to a SWOT analysis four partners were chosen and all of them can enhance and boost the outcomes of this Project in a specific way. Portugal and Finland will help students understand about people's flows, Italy and Poland about some major historical episodes and Greece about migrants actual situation. Having these scenarios set we'll be able to draw a comparison study among all schools taking into consideration History, Geography and social and political measures of different European countries. We will also work with students based upon a new learning strategy: Design Thinking. This way students will be motivated to develop critical thinking, creativity in problem solving as well as entrepreneurship concepts to reach for innovative digital outcomes such as the creation of digital apps and QR codes. Different subjects and different issues of each partners own curriculum will be worked within this project so the Erasmus Team at each school will focus on subjects such as English, ICT, History, Geography, Maths and Social Education. The chosen teams regarding teachers and students will be dynamic and motivated to work within the above themes. We will work with two different classes of students and create within each school an Erasmus Club. The involvement of younger and older students will enhance the social and humanitarian perspective that'll reach within each school at the end of the project. We've established the grounds for an efficient communication among partners having created online groups (such as an eTwinning group and a whatsapp group), a collaborative working disk that will be used throughout the Project and an effective dissemination plan based upon social media means and official means such as each school's website and the future project website. A short-term joint staff training event was set so all representative teachers from each Erasmus team from each school can learn together upon eTwinning and digital apps that will be used during the Project. Four LTT activities were set according to the major guidelines of the Project: starting with a discussion upon social and humanitarian issues, moving on to a direct contact with History, then a direct contact with reality and ending with a final presentation of the digital outcomes of this Project: two digital books, six newsletters, QR codes, AR scenarios and digital apps. Teachers involved within this project will guide students through the study of historical, geographical and social facts; students will be motivated to participate in Design Thinking process in order to develop ideas that will lead to the digital outcomes; apart from all this work, students will also commemorate some major celebration days and be involved in humanitarian short projects within the Erasmus Club. Collaborative work and online sessions will also be promoted so that a constant and meaningful communication can be established and developed by teachers and students. The digital outcomes will remain after the project officially ends because they're meant to spread knowledge and information not only to migrants/immigrants/disadvantageous groups of students but to each school's community and to other schools and institutions as well. The eTwinning project created within this Erasmus Project will also be maintained so that new ideas and social projects may be developed and shared among schools.
