<< Objectives >>The main goal is to increase quality in the work and practice, and build the capacity of participating schools in the field of international cooperation and strengthen citizenship competencies, and ecological awareness of students, by exchanging experience, developing comprehensive and cross-curricular programs of workshops and practical learning tools by Dec. 2023.It will happen through the exchange of experience, extending schools' extracurricular offer, raising awareness and shaping skills.<< Implementation >>Activities planned: A1: KICK-OFF WORKSHOPS for partners' staff - project planning and design thinking on the elaboration of ECO-JOURNALISTS programA2: LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS A3: INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM WORKSHOPS AND STUDY VISITA4: INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOPS AND STUDY VISIT A5: ESTABLISHING THE CIVIL MEDIA WEB-PORTAL AND PRESS OFFICE to raise awareness of schools' community and local communityA6: PROJECT MANAGEMENT including promotional activities and evaluation<< Results >>As a result, partner organizations will gain new materials and tools to expand and increase the quality of their practice in the field of civic education of their students, which will build the capaci of partner orgnaizations. The idea of eco-journalism will be spread around students and other schools, that will be able to use the program developed within the project. Project partners' staff will also have a chance to get additional experience in the implementation of the international project.

"The project ""The Future of History"" was set up to encourage students to rediscover history by actively taking part in it. We have developed new didactics on teaching history by having the students write their own history based on proper research and veriied resources. We 've worked together with third parties such as regional and national archives and tourist information centres. We have increased the students ability to do research and raised their interest in European History. We took effort in seeing historry from more than one perspective, to show the intertwining of our common history. We made a method that is digital and adjustable to different topics on which students from neighbouring or, at the time opposing, member states can work together to learn about the events and the consequences the historical events had for their own country. We started with an event that took place in the premises of our school in the Netherlands and involved a lot of Polish citizens; the landings for Market Garden. The students made magazines with articles with information on a military and political level, but also on a personal level from more than one perspective. In the second year of the project the students will transfer their research to the new students who will look at the aftermath of WWII and the Cold War and why a lot of soldiers were not able to go home after the war in the time of Communism vs Capitalism. Year three focussed with the third group of students on the migration of people after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Examples of new didactics we developed are making magazines, making movies and documentaries, preparing and having debates, interviewing eye-witnessesAll these results mounted up to an overview in the form of digital magazines to be used by history teachers and pupils throughout Europe. Within the project the students will not only learn to do research but will also learn to do so in multinational groups. Thereby not only studying the topic but also be able to contrast and compare the intercultural differences between the different countries. Since they have to pass on their research the students will feel responsable for their work and will learn to cooperate. The project is set up between a Polish and a Dutch school but also involved virtual input by a Canadian school. The work aproach will lead to a copyable format for whomever might want to follow the example. It will most definetely lead to a new way of teaching at both schools involved."

"The Condorcet Lens High school in the Haut de France (project coordinator) and im. Jana Smolenia High school of Bytom in Silesia (project partner) propose a European project named “Mining the Past”. Its aims are to help students to re-discover the European importance of the cultural, historical and social heritage of their areas, by making them committed, involved and self-directed mediators, in their places and abroad. To accomplish this, the students will have to develop a set of language, communication and numerical skills that they’ll need for European discussions and cooperation.As both schools are located in socially and economically disadvantaged areas, the project is primarily aimed at pupils whose access to culture and international exchanges is often limited. The main criterion for the selection each year of the delegates (10 students per school) who will participate in the planned international mobility will therefore be their motivation and commitment to the project. The other students will take part, either through the ""Mining the past"" club or in class, in various activities organised on the spot, in the field or at school, contributing to the project's influence. The steeringn the project.The activities carried out during the fou committee of the project will be composed of the stewards of the two high schools and the four people in charge of the project: The two French coordinators (polish and documentalist teachers) and the two polish coordinators (english and geography and history teachers). The teachers of English, French, German, History and natural sciences from both schools will also participate in the organization, preparation and implementation of the various activities. The activities carried out during the four mobilities planned for this the project will be highlights of this endeavour; they will be prepared, followed and accompanied by activities that will give the opportunity to the largest number of participants to join the project. The first mobility (C1, October 2020, Bytom) - ""History, Daily Life and Culture of Miners"" - will allow students to discover the rich mining heritage of Silesia, where this tradition is still alive, and thus highlight the cultural links between these two European regions. The second mobility (C2, April 2021, Lens) - ""Territories in Reconstruction"" - will give them the opportunity to explore various forms of rehabilitation of post-industrial architecture in a region of Europe where mining is a thing of the past. During the third mobility (C3, October 2021, Bytom) - ""Mining countries, societies on the move"" - students will be able to examine the contributions of the various social movements in European mining countries, as well as the ecological challenges facing the inhabitants of these regions today. The work carried out during the last mobility (C4, April 2022), focusing on the biodiversity of post-industrial areas, will enable students to actively participate in the promotion of approaches to revitalize the mining heritage through the creation of a multimedia exhibition. Each of these activities will be broken down into several concrete and collaborative actions. These activities will lead students to develop and strengthen linguistic and communication skills, in accordance with the principles of the action method for learning modern languages. Training and the production of various multimedia digital media will help to strengthen these skills, helping pupils to develop tools for international cooperation and collaboration.The Ste Barbe festivities (December 2020 and 2021) will be a highlight for the promotion and dissemination of the project's results, involving all the pupils implicated in the project and local actors in each country. The different multimedia productions will be presented by the student mediators in the two schools and in different cultural spaces in the two regions, with the exhibition ""The ecology of post-industrial territories"" being a final highlight of the project. The website ""Mining the Past"" will bring together all the results of the project and contribute to its dissemination.The signing of an agreement between the two partner schools, prepared by the steering committee, a precise calendar of meetings and face-to-face and distance exchanges organised both upstream and downstream of the activities, as well as a clear division of tasks and responsibilities will allow the project to be managed efficiently. Subsequently, this project will find a natural extension in the partnership between the Hauts de France and Silesia through the continuation of school exchanges between the two high schools."

<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to increase students' awareness and skills in the field of sustainable development, climate change, and to promote ecological actions using digital technologies. We want to achieve it by implementing specific goals, i.e. raising the level of education and introducing modern methods of informal education using digital techniques (virtual / mixed learning), breaking language barriers and striving for multilingualism, activating young people and their sense of empowerement<< Implementation >>Activities will be based on active methods of informal education developing the ability to think critically (observation - mobility in Germany and Poland, international regional council, panel debates, ecological workshops), focused on emotions and experiences (project method - we care about our own piece of the world; laboratory method - quality testing water / air). We will also use digital learning tools and methods to complement traditional activities and improve cooperation with a partner.<< Results >>The project will increase young people's self-esteem, reduce language barriers; promote an attitude of openness, tolerance, improve the ability to respond to individual needs of people with fewer opportunities and diversity; enable the acquisition of new knowledge about sustainable development, teach how to make informed decisions and responsible eco-actions as well as use proven European solutions and transfer them to the local level. Partners will build/extend skills of foreign cooperation.

<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is overcoming the fear and barrier of speaking in German language among 20 students who are at the age of 16-18. The organized mobility will let students to understand that in order to communicate you have to overcome the fear and simply do it so that your listeners will understand you. This should increase the motivation, self-assessment and surely should make young people braver in communication. It will also improve interpersonal skills to communicate and selfpresent.<< Implementation >>The activities which are planned will make students braver in communication in German language. Thanks to the participation in theatre workshops, preparing short drama spectacles including choreography using the storytelling method. Story cubes (cubes to tell a story) will be prepared as well. The participants will have a chance to sightsee monuments and historical places in Bologna, Modena, Verona, Poznan, Rogalin, Kórnik. Students will prepare together: tortellini, rogal świętomarciński.<< Results >>The students will gain and improve essential competence to understand and create information, to be multilingual. Moreover, they will gain digital, personal and social competence to learn and to be self-aware and be capable of artistic expression. The students will implement parts of the core curriculum. Moreover, they will meet new people, they will get to know the life in Poland and in Italy by seeing and comparing the differences and similarities in educational system in both countries.
