EU will have up to 825.000 ICT job vacancies by 2020 difficult to fill due to the shortage of skilled labour force. Basic coding skills are also needed, as more than 90% of today’s professional occupations do require digital competences, including programming. On top of this women account for just 24 % of science and engineering professionals. ICT-based curricula need to be much stronger, even at primary school levels, to ensure that ICT skills needs are met in the future The command of digital tools and programming skills/concepts, as well as critical reasoning skills, should be considered an “universal language”, as they will be part of the XXI century literacy skills. TangIn delivers educational resources and guidance materials for teachers to promote and support the effective use of tangible programming concepts in daily classrooms (at primary school level) while teaching STEM-based subjects. These resources enable teachers of introducing tangible programming concepts and STEM-based subjects, to young students, in a fun, engaging, pedagogical and inclusive way, while promoting classrooms as inclusive environments through the development of students digital, problem-solving and reasoning skills. The consortium gathered partners from 4 countries bringing together researchers and schools to engage in a process of co-development of products, which resulted in: -A comprehensive report on using programming concepts to stimulate learning of STEM subjects at primary school levels, providing guidance to schools and researchers on how can tangible programming concepts be used in the classrooms fostering their motivation for STEM-based subjects and to promoting students’ inclusion. -TangIn toolbox of resources composed of 21 + 4 lesson plans to be implemented in daily classes and a teachers’ guide manual, supporting teachers in implementing those activities and to assess their impact on students learning and motivation. -TangIn Teachers training package to train teachers on how to use the resources developed with tangible programming and on how can they further develop new activities or lessors in other topics as well.The composition of the consortium was fundamental for reaching the above-mentioned results as one of the innovative aspects of TangIn approach was the co-development process between the researchers, teachers and students, which allowed a constant dialogue that enabled researchers to get insight information of the main features/requirements of the educational resources and the teachers and students validated them in the classroom. Complementarily, the consortium promoted several events, including a European workshop for teachers, local peer-training activities in schools, pilot actions with the participation of 32 teachers and around 800 students, 4 multiplier events in schools partners. At the end, the consortium reached the following key-impacts: - Better prepared schools and teachers to respond to XXI century skills demand by improving their practices to develop students STEM, digital, problem solving and reasoning skills -More motivated students (and engaged) with school as a whole, through the increase of their feeling of belonging, increase opportunities for peer activities and increase motivation to learn STEM and digital topics -Cooperation between the research community and teachers for the development of innovative approaches to teaching and innovative educational resources and for the creation of more inclusive classrooms environments -Endowing capacity of schools and teachers to better prevent the intolerance and discrimination between young students -Empowered partners with the ability to answer to the challenges that the educational and training professionals and organisations are facing, in terms of: diversity and multiculturalism in schools, students motivation, etc.

According to UNESCO (Behind the numbers: Ending school violence and bullying - 2019), 32% of students have beenbullied by their schoolmates at least once, 21,1% have been victims of cyberbullying, 36% have been involved in a physical struggle with another student and almost 32,4% have been physically attacked.According to the Report by the Regional Childhood and Adolescence Guarantor of Basilicata region, among those who claimed they were bullied at Primary Schools, 10% of girls and 21% of boys attending Post-primary schools, do not talk about it with anyone.The exchanges, both the transnational mobilities (a total of 6 days for 6 learners for each partner school) and the virtual exchanges on the eTwinning Platform, will involve learners aged 11 - 14 years who will analyse the topic of contrasting violence at school.About 40% of the mobility will be reserved for learners with fewer opportunities.Specific objectives of “RESPE.CT.” are:-to support opportunities to acquire and develop key competences for everyone, including basic skills;-to promote a respectful and responsible attitude among learners;-to educate young people to be active and responsible citizens;-to promote international dialogue amongpeers;-to fight all forms of violence and discrimination;-to promote the internationalisation and cooperation of educational institutions;-to start the exchange of good educational practices among transnational colleagues;-to act as active Training Agencies on the local area.Through the methodologies of Role Playing, Cooperative Learning, Peer Education, learners will be able to improve their linguistic skills (communication and their written and oral multilingual comprehension), on the topic of citizenship, learning to learn, creativity, digital skills and ICT. In addition, learners will develop important soft skills such as, respect of roles, problem solving, teamwork, cooperation, communication. The teachers who take part in the project implementation will improve their management and project development competences, as well as their communication skills in foreign language and ICT.Each transnational mobility, hosted in rotation by each partner School, will allow partners to deal with different topics related to the main theme of non-violence at school:-C1: “Act against discrimination”;-C2: “Combat Bullying and Cyberbullying”;-C3: “Stop to Racism”;-C4: “Kick Violence”.Through the creation of articles, slogans, Cineforums, debates, newspapers, sports tournaments, learners will be able to understand how to oppose all events going against the directives of the “Paris Declaration” of 2015 which “RESPE.CT.” is inspired by.The project outputs and their dissemination will be useful to raise awareness among the wider public.The topics will be simultaneously discussed on eTwinning Platform in order to create useful materials for the project implementation. In addition, a newspaper (“WE ACT, WE RESPECT!”) will be created, which can continue to be edited after the end of the project activities in cooperation with the partner Schools.The partner Schools will be able to improve their management and project development skills in the framework of Erasmus+ Programme, starting new cooperationsestablished on theeTwinning platform and the dissemination of the project proposal and the project outputs created. In addition, they will innovate their educational offer, thanks to the exchange of good practices, becoming virtuous examples of inclusive schools and bearers of high civic values.100% of learners will improve their average grade in language subjects and thosedebated during the implementation phases.The presence on Erasmus+ Project Results and the activity of teachers on eTwinning and School Education Gateway will allow Institutes to gain visibility and to be internationally recognized as virtuous and innovative Training Agencies, with the consequent increase of cooperation and contacts that will lead to a progressively structured and long-lasting Europeanisation.
