"In the project ""All the same and yet different - human rights and living together in school life"", a Danish and a Liechtenstein school as well as an Austrian association with training and integration projects for refugees organize two educational initiatives with direct meeting. The main objective of the project is to provide pupils with knowledge and values about human rights and tolerance through school and experiential education methods, thereby sustainably expanding their social and intercultural skills. In the preparatory phase, the learners get to know each other via a protected chatroom, work together on an eTwinnings website and work on the topic of human rights in a variety of ways.Then the trainees themselves deal with the topic, in the form of project-oriented teaching. Ten nationally mixed groups of students work on a theme each and present their work in English at the first student exchange in the form of a ski camp in Austria and at the second in the form of a summer camp in Denmark. As a result, the learners spend a maximum of time together and experience ahealthy and varied lifestyle. Especially in the camps, experiential educational elements are used tobring the group closer and to truly live up to those values in the sense of human rights, which weretreated in detail in the preparatory phase.The task of the young people from the Austrian association (they are over 15 years old) is to advise the students as experts on the topic of human rights in the student projects and also to help with the presentation in the camps. Above all, the leaders will provide significant support to the teachers in terms of the content of the project.Numerous learning opportunities for expanding media and foreign language skills, peer-to-peer learning and other modern forms of teaching are opening up - learning opportunities for both pupils and teachers.To assess the impact of the method, online surveys are conducted with both qualitative and quantitative surveys of the learners. The results of the initial and interim surveys will also be used forfurther work on the project. The teachers will also report on the extension of their teachingcompetences.During the term, the following innovative products are created: the description of the pedagogical concept in text form and a didactic practice folder with material collection in digital form. Both should be provided free of charge, expandable and adaptable to other topics.Shortly before the end of the project, the whole package will be presented in a multiplier event in Liechtenstein, to give educational experts as well as vocational trainers from the surrounding area the opportunity to exchange experiences with us."

The BEFORE AND AFTER - CULTURAL LANDSCAPES IN EUROPE project will address the topic of transformation of European cultural landscapes in the course of time, it will compare the situation now and in the past in four different European regions. The topic of cultural landscapes will be connected to several up-to-date sub-topics. We will try to answer the question “How do the following phenomena influence the landscape we live in?” The phenomena we will be focusing on being mainly: Hydroelectric power and other renewable energy sources, mining, traffic and infrastructure, agriculture but also visual pollution and some others. Our goal is to teach young people about their own region's past and make them understand it in the context of the common European space they share with their peers from different EU countries.This proposal is built on the ideas and results from the previous DIGITAL STORYTELLING THROUGH TIMELAPSE VIDEOS (Erasmus+ KA2, 2017 - 2019) project which was carried out by three partner schools (Czech, Finnish and Spanish) - all of them will continue their partnership in this new project and one more partner (Danish) will be added. Similarly to the first project about videos, the outcome and concrete results will be visual. The participants will create a gallery of BEFORE/AFTER photos which will compare different places, learn about their history and present. An example of such a photo comparison can be found here https://bit.ly/2TqUbiN.The participants of the project will be students of the four partner schools, aged 14 -18. There will be 4 international short term student exchanges (meetings), each of them hosted by a different partner school and attended by 3 groups of 5 students and 2 teachers from each partner school. It means that there will be up to 15 student mobilities from each school during the project. First, the participants will investigate in local archives and museums, where they will look for the BEFORE photos, old photos of places that no longer look like they did in the past. In the next step, they will interview local senior citizens about those places and their stories. And they will share the photos and stories with participants from other countries (TwinSpace will be used as a platform and a parallel eTwinning project will be started for this purpose). Then the second and the most important part of the project will take place – small groups of students (5 students and 2 teachers) will travel to other countries and, with the help of their peers, visit the places in person, see them with their own eyes, learn about their history, reflect on their current state, take the AFTER photos and create the BEFORE/AFTER comparisons with commentary.These participating young Europeans will gain new IT skills (taking and editing photos), meet their peers from four different European regions, learn about their history, listen to the stories of those places told by senior citizens, and see their own region in broader European perspective. The participants will deepen their understanding of cultural diversity in Europe through taking photographs of significant places connected with the project topics – in their home regions and abroad, thus will be able to compare the situation in different places in united Europe. As far as the project management is concerned, a traditional sequential methodology (Waterfall) will be used. It means that every step is to be pre-planned and laid out in the proper sequence, so that the project's advancement could be easily monitored. During the international student exchanges, various training activities are scheduled, these will use methodological tools like lectures, demonstration lessons, moderated discussions, mindmapping, workshops and buzz groups.The long term benefits for participating organizations will be in innovation of their teaching methods, deepening and strengthening the international ties of these organizations and development of professional and personal competences of the staff involved in the project.

"Are our students competent enough when it comes to health and wellbeing management? The best way to develop key competences with an emphasis on health is through integrating subjects into real context. Science and PE are prone to be taught through project-based learning methods with the help of today’s cutting-edge technology to make the learning process more meaningful. With regards to health issues, different countries across Europe have similar problems. While the Spanish and British have considerable levels of obesity and sedentarism among their pupils; the Danish, Estonian and Latvian have more difficulties with emotional and mental health management. In this project, we put together 5 schools of the countries which have been mentioned to reinforce, through intercultural exchanges, the health literacy of our teachers and students; and also to create materials which can be applied across Europe. Therefore, the main objectives set for this projects are: 1) To allow students' development of key competences, with an emphasis on health and wellbeing, through an European school network made of students, teachers and families. 2) To design 4 project-based innovative units to integrate the contents of Natural Science and Physical Education through the use of technology making those subjects more significant to students. 3) To promote the use of cutting-edge technology and open new ways of learning in the education field. As expected results coming out of this project, students will improve their key competences level with special focus on health and science; enhance their ICT and linguistics skills; and increase their EU mobility. As for teachers, they will create ready-to-use materials for PE and Science; develop practical ideas to update the learning process to the digital era; and interchange methods and cooperative strategies across European schools. The activities of this project will stem from 4 centers (human body, brain and emotions, fitness and nutrition) in which the subjects of Science and PE merge. Each center is associated with 2 key competences and is planned to be implemented in online eTwinning activities (>100 students of Year 5 and 6) and mobilities (small groups of 6 students in Year 5 and 6 per country and 2 teachers plus those in the host country where younger students aged 6-10 will be involved as well). To achieve the 1st objective, we will elaborate activities that will be carried out in countries with expertise in each health topic; involve families so that the activities are more meaningful to students and also promote family health awareness; and use the eTwinning platform to create cultural exchanges during the 2 years of the project, promoting the lifelong learning necessary for the competence acquisition. To achieve the 2nd objective, teachers will elaborate engaging project-based units integrating the PE and Science contents focused on 4 centers; students will complete our units giving us feedback during the mobilities, so that we can test the children's response to our work and check potential differences depending on the country; teachers will have monthly online meetings to create the project-based units that will be later on implemented in each pupil mobility. To achieve the 3rd objective, we will promote real-life contexts using a wide variety of apps/gadgets, e.g. augmented reality to learn about human body or smartwatches to extract health data; create products final products like ""the project Youtube channel"" to upload students' videos coaching their families or an online healthy recipe book; improve teacher's literacy on using technology. It is worth mentioning that an University professor will train the teachers during the training event for the staff; also, countries with expertise on the use of that technology will train the others with the activities they will set up in their countries.As for the the profile of teachers, each country has set up a “project management team” comprised of PE, Science, Technology and Language teachers. At this stage, it is worth pointing out that the project is hosted on the eTwinning platform for management and online activities and the implementation and follow-up stage (ID: 220021). Short and long-term outcomes of this project will benefit students, teachers and the wider education community. Students will have developed the skills to extend their healthy habits throughout their lives and take action when it comes to helping other people’s health management.On top of that. teachers will incorporate their CLIL project-based units to their PE and Science syllabus. Finally, we will launch a course through CASIOPEA platform (University of Murcia).Prior to bringing to wrapping up the summary, we would like to highlight the long-term benefits of this project for children that will be the unique opportunity to have this international experience that will be embedded in their minds and will stand the test of time."
