This strategic partnership is based on the fact that less and less pupils are able to achieve at least A1 level of English at the end of the 8th grade. The causes of this problem are that the curriculum is not regularly updated and the educational system is focusing more on large volumes of information, but not on interactive teaching methods that could attract more interest. Because the Curriculum is based in a huge proportion on formal teaching methods, the majority of the pupils consider unattractive learning a foreign language which represents a huge disadvantage for their personal and professional development.The general objective of this project is to develop English communication competences through non-formal and interactive methods. The specific objectives of the project are the following ones: -to implement quality Teaching and Learning methods in order to maximize learning opportunities for all.-to develop a connection between students with different backgrounds, using English as a „lingua franca”.-the participation of a total number of 42 students from the partner countries to this school exchange that will lead to the improvement of their civic, social and cultural skills.-to raise students’ awareness regarding the importance of English at the European level.-Exchange of good practices at European level regarding the organization in order to identify which non-formal methods of teaching and learning English have the best impact on students.- selecting 3 interactive methods that will be frequently used by the English teachersWithin the project, there will be carried out 3 transnational learning and teaching activities: one in Romania, one in Lithuania and one in Bulgaria. Each partner school will organize 5 days activities. 7 students and 3 accompanying teachers from the other 2 partner schools will attend. Beside those 42 direct participants, at each activity there will participate other students of the venue school. This way, more students will benefit from the activities connected to the project. The project will be also beneficial for the involved teachers because they will have the opportunity to make an exchange of good practices. Together, the teachers will implement interactive and modern teaching methods that will make the learning process more attractive for the pupils. Students with fewer opportunities (economic obstacles) will participate in this project. This will be a huge opporunity for them to develop key competences that will ease their social and professional integration. The methodology that will be used during the activities will be connected to the Curriculum. The main difference is there will be used modern and interactive methods and the purpose of using these methods is to provide high quality teaching and to transform the educational process from a rigid one to a ludic one. One of the most important expected results of the project is that the students will be able to have at least A1 level at Eglish language at the end of the 8th grade. Another expected result is that the teachers will use more interactive and modern methods during the classes, a fact that will contribute to a high quality teaching process. This strategic partnership will be also used as a modality to exchange good practices between the schools. In long term, the project will make the educational process more attractive for the students, will help the students to be more integrated when they will go to high school, the teachers will adapt the interactive and modern methods to the Curriculum. The most important impact of the project is that the students will acquire competences that will provide them more opportunities in the future, will ease their transition to the labor market and it will facilitate their social inclusion.

This project, entitled HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY LEARNERS, was created by four partner schools from different parts and realities (rural/urban) of the European Union (Spain [Catalonia], France [Reunion Island], Italy and Lithuania). The selected partners represent the diversity of school education sectors and the countries having different educational traditions, and different kinds of contexts. All the partners have a lot of experience of teaching healthy habits and sportive activities working with their national issues. All partners have a common goal: help our students at school and outside to feel good in their mind and their body. In fact, today's young generations are faced more or less with the same difficulties or bad habits. And that's why we want to focus on three main topics: Mental Health (and Emotional Education), Nutrition, and Exercise (Physical or Sportive activities). To achieve the aims of this project, it is necessary: -to develop good practises regarding emotions and feelings. Tips to feel more self-confident and easy exercises to relax.-to learn more about the importance of having good eating habits. It is the recipe for longevity and to keep the doctor away as much as possible.-to move and exercise regularly, as a way to relieve the pressure felt during the day and increase a feeling of well-being.If these three goals are reached, a great number of people will feel the difference and we will be able to say that we have contributed to the well-being of these Erasmus participantsConsidering this questions objectives of project will be: 1. To increase the number of students practicing physical activity in all partners schools .2. To participate in almost 3 sport events or healthy activities organised all over Europe (in their school, or local community or sport European events) in order to be aware of how important is to keep students healthy and well.3. To promote psychosocial well-being of students through sport and physical activity (increase students levels of self-esteem, or the ability to feel positive about oneself, one’s body and physical abilities)4. To improve healthy food habits, and reduce obesity in our school5. To improve inclusion and create new opportunities to integrate those from under-privileged or marginalized groups in society6. To learn using correctly ICT tools / , mobile with educational intentionWe can see that either one sport experience or healthy activity is a great opportunity for students to improve their healthy habits. This activty helps them to overcome other situations in daily life.Throughout the project different healthy activities and sports experiences will be proposed by teachers in order to practice them. Students must prepare themselves in order to practice this experience or challenge (healthy habits, training, nutrition…) and create also products, such as a presentation, a multimedia show, or some other form of alternative assessment, or other products (this helps students have a better understanding, and this information will be shared with the other members of the classroom and partners).Other skills will be mastered thanks to this project: ICT tools, oral presentation in front of an international audience, sociability, organisation, planning. The mission of the participants will also be to share what they have discovered or learnt with their peers back at school. The project website will be linked to the school website so that the school communities and anyone interested can easily follow the project.As the official language is English, our students will definitely improve their linguistic skills as they will need to communicate throughout the two years of the project and they will also learn easy expressions in other languages.They will then receive a Europass to attest their participation in an Erasmus mobility as well as a Passport of language for their level reached in the target language (here English). This will be very useful for their further studies or even job application.As the main objective of the project is an exchange of good practises, we will all learn from each other, at different levels. Indeed, as we come from different European countries, the school organisation and management may differ from one country to another. As we have already experienced in former projects, we try to deal with student inclusion, truancy, special need students as well as we can, and it is always worthwhile to know about other ways of managing these issues.If we promote healthy habits from different points of view (physically, mentally and emotionally) our students will be able to face everyday situations in a proper manner an be better European citizens.

<< Objectives >>Through this project, the causes and casual loops of poor motivation and lack of engagement in each school context with a special focus on the STEAM classes will be identifies and solved by a continuous and close relationship with other schools and universities. Also, the continuous training for the teachers will be the mechanism to find new solutions (project-based learning, Career development) to old problems, especially in the STEAM areas.<< Implementation >>The first activities are going to be virtual ones where teachers are challenged to think systematically and to learn more motivating and engaging ways of teaching. After this reflexive practice and learning process, teachers are invited to try it out, to evaluate and to exchange practices with the other schools with a mobility opportunity to see in loco some strategies.<< Results >>Through this project it is expected to see a systemic change in each school with an increase of the student’s motivation and engagement in the school, especially in lessons where teachers were directly involved in the project - The use of project-based learning The introduction of the activities to promote Career development and the continuation of the new pedagogical practices in the following years.

Modern children get acquainted with smart devices and the Internet early enough. Using of them extend the possibilities of traditional learning, playing, and communicating. But are children ready to become independent and responsible users? The danger to privacy, the threat of bullying, the risk of disclosure of personal information, the potential for fraud and other challenges may arise for every child. What information on the Internet is safe to share, how to recognise friends-pretenders on social networks, what photos are online to share, whether you can believe all the information found on the Internet, whether the same rules apply on the Internet as in reality? These are the issues that will be addressed in our 5 European schools’ (Spain, Italy, Greece, Romania and Lithuania) project Wise Online Web Surfers (WOWS). The partner schools come from different countries, but they all have a high degree of awareness regarding the safe Internet for children. All of the schools have previous experience in bullying prevention activities and projects. We are also experienced teachers in creating different activities about cyberbullying prevention in our schools and we see that it is very important to move into the next step and make students lead their own project about this specific topic. The Objectives of the project are understanding the responsibilities and dangers in the use of technology and the networks, to decrease the conflicts among students and to improve their English communicative skills. These goals will be accomplished through a blend of different activities during all the project period of 24 months (2019 September – 2021 August). The challenge our schools are going to answer to is to identify the Internet using problematic situations among 10 - 14 aged pupils and make suggestions how to improve them. The project has been designed into two different parts, the first year the activities will be focused into the detection and prevention of bad uses of technology to move into the next step during the second year which will be focused into the actions that need to be taken to avoid cyberbullying. Not only students and teachers but families and other community members will be beneficiaries of the project activities thanks to the dissemination of the final products of students. Data collecting, carrying out surveys, making graphs, posters, presentations, taking part in workshops, discussions, debates, integrated lessons, video creation etc. These activities will let the schools’ communities to learn about the situations at all participating schools, to think of possible solutions and give the students and teachers opportunity to directly collaborate with participants from partner schools. Cooperation will be an intensive and fruitful one, as the project will also allow the exchange of practices among teachers from different countries, and will promote new working methods. There will be different final products in this project, all related to the proper use of technology and networks. Posters about healthy habits, a video about safe use of the online technologies, including activities at schools during all project term and during mobilities, sequencing them and showing intermediate results at all stages with students’ opinions, emotions, personal examples, advices and providing conclusions and rules how to be a smart web surfer. The participants of the project will acquire and enrich their knowledge about feeling safe in modern digital world (detecting and avoiding potential dangers), develop their social and civic competences, senses of initiative and creativity, will broaden their horizons, improve their English, ICT and communication skills. The teachers will also exchange new perspectives on different working methods through formal and non -formal education. All the activities of the project are directed to help the pupils to become tolerant, respectful, responsible and wise digital world consumers.

"Europe is rich in many success stories in Robotics: from the sector of industrial robots which was and still is the backbone of automation, to professional service robots in agriculture, logistics, underwater etc. Over the last few years, interest in educational utilization of robotics has increased and several attempts have been made worldwide to introduce robotics in school education from kindergarten to high secondary school, mostly in science and technology subjects. In parallel with these technological developments, bullying among young people is also increasing (especially cyberbullying).With this project, we aim to prevent bullying by using educational robotics such as LEGO EV3, VEX, MBOT etc.This project will be carried on with Romania(coordinator), Lithuania, Turkey, Hungary, Spain, Italy. In line with the EU 2020 strategy, we would like to provide new skills for our students for coping bullying by 6 LTT activities. Here are seven areas in which learning about robotics at our schools can benefit our students coping with bullies: 1-Creative thinking2-Self confidence, self-esteem3-Problem Solving4-Perseverance5-Teamwork6-Fun, happiness7-Computational thinkingOur Target group is students,teachers,parents,community.Teachers will learn a new teaching/learning method in LTT activities. We are all willing, determined, diligent and patient partners which will have equal roles:* Romania as eTwinning ambassadors will share their strategic partnership and eTwinning experiences. They are experienced in robotics and designing. While designing antibullying games, they will share experiences and knowledge. *Turkey will share Virtual Reality and Arduino experiences to prevent physical bullying*Lithuania will share EV3 experiences to prevent verbal bullying*Hungary will share MBOT and Arduino experiences preventing Cyberbullying*Spain will share EV3 and VR experiences to prevent cyberbullying *Italy will share their experiences about art by adding quantification and consideration experiences to evaluate the project. They are also experienced in preventing bullying.This 6 countries will carry out their LTT activities on time and ready. Romania and Italy LTT activities will be realized with stuff(15 teachers), others will be realized with groups of pupils(4 students and 2 teachers from each country).Methodology: The following methods and tools will be used in line with the needs, readiness and wishes of our partners:*Seminars/webinars/sessions/conventions*Interviews/Reports/*Visits /trips*Cooperation with stakeholders*Logo competition/public spot/*Antibullying game e-booklet /eMagazine*Conducting survey/pretest-posttest/questionaries *Exchanging experiences *Twinspace/FB group/youtube channelAt Staff mobilities 36 teacher will take roll and participate the planned activities. At groups of pupils mobilities, there will be a total of 96 students, 12 of whom are socially, economically and geographically disadvantaged. 11-15 years old students will participate in these activities. The students will be selected according to the selection criteria.The origin of the projects is preventing bullying (verbal, cyber, physical)by using educational robotics. For achieving this goal we focus on the increasing common bullying types. With the planned LTT activities we all aim to -help bullies understand why they engage in this behaviour and resolve the underlying issues-encourage victim pupils to help find solutions with problem-solving skills engaged with Robotics-increase the academic achievements of the students via Robotics-facilitate the transfer of guidance for schools on preventing and responding to bullying-exchange the good practices/experiences through ROBOTICS AGAINST BULLYING-use Robotics Competences for tackling before bullying goes through criminal offences.-support the bullied children together with school counselling services-have a published complaints procedure at each schoolPlanned Concrete Results:-Anti-Bullying Games e-Booklet/eMagazine-Public Report and Bullying Public Spot-Preventing bullying Units and Clubs at each school-Published complaints procedure -Brochures/Posters against Bullying-Website/Youtube Channel/ FB page-Counselling Reports -Reduction in bullying cases (%5)-Academic achievements(3%1st year, 6%2nd year)-Promotional materials(pen, notebooks, USB pen drives) We plan to involve schools as active beneficiaries which will have the main impact of the project. For a sustainable project, we plan to *Incorporate the new projects via eTwinning partnerships about using ""Robotics Against Bullying""*look at local and regional partners to assist in continuing the project impacts in our communities after funding has ended*Provide support or commitment from our governing body in our dissemination workshops/seminars/conventions*cooperate with Colleges/Universities /degree candidates or research assistants to using ""Robotics Against Bullying"""
