"The project ""Live naturally - live healthy"" aimed to reinforce the concept of citizenship by raising awareness, to safeguard cultural heritage, to develop a true feeling of partnership, of helpfulness, of respect for the differences involving all the participants in the European construction. This international project involved schools from city areas. Having a strong cultural heritage, allowed the participants to join an important educational experience. This project allowed us to share good practices and promote new technologies as the main communication vehicle. Each partner shared new technologies’ skills to exchange knowledge. The cooperation between pupils and teachers improved new working methods and a better organization of the learning process.The language used has been English, so the common work and exchanges have been perfect opportunities to improve linguistic skills, to use and practice the language during every day conversations. By participating in researches, pupils had the chance to extend their knowledge widely in various themes and to work together in a different way as to the compulsory school activities. Moreover, the project has been useful for teachers so that they had the opportunity to learn about different European cultures and languages, so now they can teach what they learned to their pupils.The aimis to promote a culture based on healthy lifestyles to help students to appreciate best practices while safeguarding their own health.Unhealthy lifestyles (poor diet, excessive drinking, smoking, lack of exercise) have negative repercussions not only on the health of the individuals but on their environment as well.This project aimed at developing an educational environment that will support young people by promoting healthy lifestyles. The project focused on promotion of a healthy and appropriate diet, a less sedentary lifestyle and on raising awareness of the damages that alcohol and smoking can cause. The project also aimed to encourage students to improve their personal skills and talents, thus increasing individuals’ self-esteem and self-confidence. These general objectives have been achieved through the following specific objectives:• To develop and harmonize lifestyle habits of adolescents across Europe with special focus on diet, nutrition and physical activity. • To assess dietary and physical activity patterns as well as nutritional status among European adolescents• To investigate knowledge and attitudes towards nutrition and physical activity among adolescents and to establish the main determinants of their food choice and preference• To describe regional, cultural, social and gender differences and similarities across Europe • To develop a Lifestyle Education Programme and test its efficacy for improving adolescents´ healthThe project involved students of Secondary school (aged 11-14) from three different countries: Italy, Lithuania, Spain. During the project students and staff had the opportunity to:-improve language learning and scientific skills;-enhance collaboration and cooperation skills within home schools and between partner schools;-developartistic, expressive, linguistic, computer and social skills;-increase awareness on environmental issues;-knowledge about dietary and physical activity patterns in European adolescents;-improve lifestyle habits of adolescents;The main activities have been: Set-up of a project blog; Diagnostic surveys; Erasmus Corner; Research work about landscapes; Video recording of each region's typical harvests; Artistic presentation of landscape; Slideshows about each school; Photographing all regions: geographical recognition of each area; E-Book: “Healthy food from our tradition""; Logo contest; Recipe Book; Fitness week; Set up of a Website; Conference held by students about health benefits; Food Lab; researches. questionnaires, interviews about risks factors; Healthy week.Teachers used alternative teaching methods and encouraged investigation and the sense of exploring in their students.Dissemination has been carried out throughout the project with the publication of articles in the local press, social media and on the school website to inform students, staff and stakeholders on project activities promoting the Erasmus+ programme.The participants created a database available to all and provided support to involve their colleagues. In particular, through the learning objects every teacher could improve his learning process in relation to the contributions of the group.On the project website we conveyed all the information and documentation available, with particular reference to the products manufactured in the different project phases.Finally, Internet also allowed us to activate a direct contact with potential final beneficiaries (even more than the number of those who are directly involved in the training) and to interact with them."

Our world has been struggling with oxygen starvation in recent years. Cities face many negative factors that pollute the air like smokes and wastes from factories, the burning of fossil fuels, household cleaning products and overpopulation. European Environment Agency (EEA) stated in the latest “Environmental Status” report that Europe is facing unprecedented environmental challenges. In EEA’s 2018 report, it was stated that air pollution has been decreasing throughout his union, but this situation still causes 480 thousand premature deaths every year. It is apparently seen that the number of people who die because of air pollution is much more than the ones that die because of other reasons. Among the studies about pollution; to set limits and target values for air quality, to encourage people using public transportation in order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles especially in crowded cities, to protect and enhance green areas can be counted. All these measures have prevented air pollution up to a point. In addition, industrial products have become indispensable in many areas of our lives. It is a fact that we naturally face the negative effects of these products in all indoor spaces. The products that we use indoors such as detergent, ink, glue, building materials, paint, fabric and paper issues. They produce rodon gas, petrol, ammonia and trichlorethylene. And also, we live together with radiation containing tools such as phones, tablets, computers and copiers. It is stated that numerous negative effects that can be observed in humans as a result of air pollution. These effects are mental disorders, irritability, chronic asthma, cough, nose-eye-skin allergies, throat destruction, decreased breathing capacity and even cancer diseases. The importance of the quality of air that we breathe indoors is increasing day by day. That is the starting point of our project. The overall aim of the project is to increase the quality of the air we breathe indoors. Because we want to reduce the harm caused by these negative effects. We want to create more liveable areas for future generations and provide plants that increase the air quality in living spaces. With this project we want to ensure that indoor planting is done consciously if we can teach Botany and Ecology as optional lessons or as project works at schools, we will create awareness about the importance of the indoor plants that clean the air we breathe. NASA has analysed 50 plants which clean the air for every 10m2 in indoor places. Some of these plants are spathipyllum wallisi, chrysanthemum, parthcnocissus, liriope muscari, ladypalm, gerber daisy and massengena. The project partners will grow plants that are suitable for their own climate conditions in their classes and permaculture gardens and also, they will explain the importance of this study to their students. We aim to make it a habit for future generations that growing these kinds of plants in all indoor places. Our project partners are from the schools of Turkey, Northern Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Portugal and Serbia. Each mobility group should be consisted of 4 teachers. The target groups of the project are teachers, students, parents and non-governmental organizations which are related to education. It is aimed to transfer our achievements to each other and want to be effective in larger groups then. Partners will create exemplary schools and classes in their environment, the project experience of teachers will increase, teachers’ and students’ willingness to produce and participate in new projects will increase, schools will attract students’ interest with their projects and different teaching methods and with the help of all these positive effects, dropping out of the schools is to be prevented to some extent. Moreover, participants will be able to improve their English, learn new words and idioms from each other and socialize with different culture’s people. The partners will tell the beneficial aspects of various plants in their own regions to other partners, the use of plants for different purposes will become widespread, the forgotten secrets of herbal cures will be passed on from generations to generations, it will be provided to grow medical and aromatic plants, to produce worm humus. Even worm humus will be able to sold in the future. All the planned events will be shared on web page of the schools, EBA news, e-Twinning, Erasmus Projects results platform and social media accounts that will be created for the project. For all activities, a project booklet with the title of “Let Us Be a Breath for Future” will be created.

The idea of project “A BEE C – Artistic Approach to Business, Education, Entrepreneurship and Art” is to develop the entrepreneurial skills of the students and the eco-consciousness of arts. This idea has appeared after a conversation with students on the link and the collision between ecology and the clean environment, on the one hand, and the technological development and entrepreneurship, on the other.The mascot of the project “The Bee” has been chosen and is considered a symbolical character, who suggests the idea for work-loving people, as well as who also serves as an indicator for a clean environment. The abbreviation A BEE C, also has a meaning, as it indicates the beginning stage of knowledge – it is homophonic with the initial three letters of the alphabet.The aim of the project was informal education of the children in the area of entrepreneurship and ecology through the creation of advertisement items, as well as goods, for creative dissemination.The project introduces the children with the whole process of creating an artistic product /screenplay, stage play, comics, electron version of the story – animation and game/, as well as the activities on the creation of advertising materials towards the artistic products, with the aim of receiving funding for charitable causes.The project has lasted for two years. During the first year has been created a play and it has put on stage, in front of the audience, and during the second year has been created a comics and an electron adaptation of the story with the same plot line, which were placed at the disposal of the schools, parents and the community. All of the participants /students, consultants and mentors/ have been volunteers and the activities on the creation and dissemination of the final products /merchandize/ has been made by volunteering students and teachers.On the project has been created an international company with 4 Departments:-Drama Department – the participants were children, who have interests in writing a story and a screenplay;-Art Department – children with artistic capabilities and talents, who participated in the creation of decors, costumes and advertising materials;-Department “Comics” – the participated children had an interest in the writing of stories as well as drawing and art;-IT Department – the participants had an affinity towards computer games and the wish to learn how to create such games.The work language was English through the consequential participation of each country on the principle of “chain participation”. The final product was translated on the mother language of each partner country and has been put in front of a local audience. The name or the play, and also the comics was chosen by the students and it was namely “Mission BEEpossible”Each Department for comics has created the story in English and in their mother language. The final comics have been published on the web-page of the project. Each IT Department has recreated the comics of one of the partners, chosen in random, in an election version in English.In the end of the project we had 5 stage performances in each country in the local language, screenplay in English and in the language of each partner, 5 different sets of decors and costumes. There were 5 comics created, in English and in each of the national languages, accompanied by their electron versions.The main products – the stage plays, the comics and their electron versions have been disseminated and will be disseminated with the aim of gathering funding for charitable causes. The project has its own web-site, as well as collections of CDs/flash drives with all of the products – 1. The stage plays, 2. The comics, 3. The electron versions, 4. The multilingual manual for CD for teachers, which includes guidelines how to create and sell the story in all of its versions. 5. Movie for the whole work on this project.

The main tasks of the project are to: influence on students’ behavior using an art therapy method and develop cooperation among the schools, enrich teaching innovative skills, get to know natural, cultural diversity of the project countries, improve interpersonal ,ITC communicative skills, get to know the partners with the art therapy method, create an active European citizenship, strengthen self-esteem, develop a sense of empathy, respect , include students with special education needs. Students at the age 10 -14 and the teachers from the partner schools will take part in the project. We are going to engage also pupils at the age 7-9, preschoolers and the local communities connected with the project schools. The project subject, using nature in the art therapy will influence on mental, social and emotional pupils’ development. It will also allow, through the art therapy, to influence on a change of unacceptable students’ behaviours. Taking part in the project enables the participants to develop their linguistic and communicative competences. Participating in the project is a chance for students with variety of intellectual and emotional disability. It will enable them to be successful, present their abilities among local and school community. The project “Nature soothes the customs” is aimed at the pupils, also the disabled ones, the teachers from European schools and the local communities connected with them. A subject of this enterprise is to get familiar and show the nature’s influence on a human being’s emotional development. Nature with its richness of sounds, colours , flora and fauna is a safe place soothing negative emotions and ideal to influence on the students’ behavior. We will show the beauty of nature and its impact on our emotions, in the same way we will try to affect our students in order to limit socially unacceptable behaviours. We want the project participants to show their creativity and creative interpretation in this field. The project participants will be acquainted not only with the beauty of nature but with its positive impact on our emotions as well. We will hand over a message:’’ Nature soothes the customs”. The beauty of the places crucial for us in terms of cultural, cognitive and emotional value will be presented. We will focus on discovering and getting familiar with those places as well as showing their role in a human being emotional development and nature’s impact on eliminating unacceptable behaviours. We will carry out educational classes with applying parts of the art therapy with a participation of the teachers and students from the partner countries. The teachers will exchange their experiences, prepare innovative lesson summaries, also for disabled students ,which will be mutually carried out. The students will improve their English skills owing to individual contacts with the peers and ICT devices. Art- literary competitions, vernissages, happenings, educational projects, workshops will be held in order to get information relating to nature ‘s impact on our emotions. We will aspire to develop abilities to express and recognize emotions by using nature’s colours and sounds. The participants will also get to know the most outstanding artistic and musical works referring to nature beauty. Art will be used to express ourselves emotionally. A mutual dependence of a human being and the nature will be shown as well. We will strive to develop an ability to recognize emotions by organizing classes of interpersonal communication and shaping pro -social attitudes. During the project task realization we will focus on improving the competences that are crucial for getting to know and understanding the surrounding reality. The project participants will be got acquainted with the art therapy method and using it as a therapeutic tool in order to limit students’ behaviors that are not acceptable in societies. Use of the richness of nature, combining it with the methods of the art therapy will allow the project participants not only to recognise, control their emotions but act better in the society that will contribute to better knowledge acquisition. The project tasks realization will be simultaneously performed in the project schools. Each partner will enrich the project of their own ideas that will contribute to realising project assumptions in a better way.

Our European schools have to tackle an imminent pedagogical innovation in our classroom, not only in terms of ICT but new pedagogical approaches and methods that imply a significant change in how we teach in our classrooms. New approaches determine a more active and meaningful learning process that invites students to participate in their learning process and apply their knowledge and skills in real life. The project′ s methodologies/activities have been very interesting and challenging for all partner schools because all partners were interested in the innovative methods proposed by the project's objectives. The partners were also in a permanent research to find new methods of teaching-learning skills in an interdisciplinary manner. We wanted to educate students who will be and are able to work and live in diversity accepting differences of culture, religion, socio-economic status and skills, so that we implemented cooperative working in our activities. . It is known that Education is the key to integrate all these children with a poor economic situation and with a lack of opportunities in our society. This project has been a way to show to all these children that they are part of a community, a society and that they can work for changing their future opportunities. We were strongly convinced and implemented inclusive education in our schools in order to offer an opportunity to everyone. Our students were Primary school learners between 9 and 12 years old. We were developing similar activities bearing in mind students' age, skills, abilities (inclusive education). Even though we developed similar activities , results, adaptations needed and products have been different but this is what really interested us: seeing how a similar activity can be developed in different ways depending on students' characteristics. On other occasions we were using the same ICT tools but the product was different, so teachers had a wide range of ideas to work with ICT tools in the future. Our main objectives have been: -Improve: Digital competence. -Improve : Communicative competence in a foreign language. -Foster inclusive education. -Introducing and developing new methodological approaches. -Applying cooperative work. -Teacher team work. Students from all schools have taken an active participation in every activity throughout this project. Special needs students and students with a low social-economical situation have developed the same activities as their classmates but some of them were adapted in level and demands thanks to the fact that ICT allowed teachers to either simplify or adapt the activities to children's skills. It was really important that those children felt part of the group and see that they can do the same as their classmates. We have implemented inclusive education. That’s why the activities have been developed in cooperative learning-teaching methodologies. Teachers have applied new technologies and approaches to improve their teaching and lessons. They have planned a set of activities in which their students applied contents taught in class and developed different activities to improve their knowledge in all subjects. School's staff has been asked to participate in the activities that children developed. School staff was really worthy because they helped teachers in administrative issues. We have involved parents and we have asked for their active participation because as members of our educational communities they are really worthy. Local institutions and schools have been informed about the project, activities and results in order to consider them in future educational actions in town. Other schools in our towns have also been informed about the project and have been invited to our schools to see how the project was being implemented. The results expected have been : - Didactics units based on new approaches and cooperative working. -Spread the lifelong learning thinking in our students and teachers team. - Spread the cooperative work between our students and teachers team, and between any students or teachers from abroad. The expected impact this project has had on students is the improvement in students' learning process integrating cooperative work and social values. The expected impact this project has had on teachers and schools is introducing new and innovative teaching methods, establishing cooperative work with staff of partner schools, integrating teachers from various subjects involved in this project, strengthening teamwork and integrating ICT in lessons. The expected impact this project has had on parents is fostering parents participation in school activities and projects. Our project has had impact and influence in our local community, region and country. Moreover in Europe and at international level. This project has been the beginning of a long and nice cooperative work between our schools and any new school will be welcomed to join our team in future projects.
