Five European countries have decided to launch into a great adventure by inciting students to write a book through a collaborative work.The innovative and interesting aspect of the project is that most of the members of project's teams, teachers or students, have never met before. However, we will become acquainted as the project develops. The understanding of one another will develop as the characters, the plot and the setting of our book will evolve. The characters will be created, will change and grow travelling through each partner's country. The meetings between students for a creative purpose, will enable a wider comprehension of our respective cultures and daily life. It all will be made possible thanks to digital methods: mainly Skype meeting and exchanges in virtual spaces like eTwinning.Of course, mobilities and meetings will be huge opportunities to exchange better, and an exciting way of viewing the gap which exists between fiction and reality.Students will make a progress in literature, discovering manifold literary genders such as short stories, biography, cartoons, plays and why not poetry.The characters or heroes of the stories will become sorts of multiple identity characters because the characters will be a part of each European student in fact. Hopefully, this work will help the students to become tolerant citizens.This work will also be a means of valuing the efforts of our students with special needs.We imagine that teachers will find through this work, an attractive way to make their students work on writing skills. Usually, writing skills are supposed to be difficult but motivation will soften difficulties.Another interesting point will be the growing capacity of working in the context of multiculturalism, exchanging and adapting our educational methods to improve them. No doubt that our students will gain in confidence and pride as the book will evolve and be released finally.The book, as a creation will remain the testimony of our exchanges. We hope that it will be a first stage for future partnership.

This Project intends to use the history and historical places as a tool to increase scholastic success, entreprenurship , destroy prejudices,discover the businees opportunities with cultural heritage.The project partners are 6 schools from Italy,Turkey,Portugal,and Spain, all of them secondary school.The project is addressed to students from 13 to 16 years old.190 student mobility is planned for 2 years.Student exchanges and other activities in the project will also enhance an understanding toward diverse perspectives on European citizenship and help our students to develop an appreciation of the European cultural diversity and an empathy for different cultures.Our objectives are to:- raise interest on cultural heritage, particularly in Europe.- create awareness in the local to preserve the cultural heritages.- put into practice new methodological tools based on outdoor activities on historical and cultural resources with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach.- promote peer-learning,creativity and entrepreneurship towards the promotion and valuation of historical places and cultural heritage.-discover others past and create an emphatic feeling both at schools and in the local - gain historical thinking skills- raise attention towards Middle Age in Europa, Roman Empire, the first steps of Christianity those are related tto curriculum-increase scores (in the exams) towards history,cultural heritages, and read about historyP and C activies are based on a project based learning with a multidisciplinary approach organized around outdoor activities, the usage of skills and peer learning sessions in a cooperative international working atmosphereTle letters to the past dwellers will show the difference between the past and today.The essays 'Common Past, Shared Future' will improve the basic writing skillsThe short movie and public spotlights will fight against vandalism (Web2.0 tools, blurring faces and open licences will be used)WEBINAR meetings will help coordinators to sustain a successful Project and good relations among pupils and online seminar.Activities in the press, official website for the Project,Logos 2021 calenders, uploading the short movies and public spotlights, documentaries to social media, delivering the outputs to the schools,exhibition in the city center will disseminate the Project and help the Project results to remain for long yearsOur students will give the message with writing skills and drawing albume that history is a way to create a peaceful atmosphere in the society.The methodology in all the visits with students will be similar.

Music is not only art, but also a powerful medium of communication. Notes can reach our ears 24 hours a day and they do not need any translation. Furthermore it doesn’t matter if you are a young person or an adult, music will be part of your everyday life. Through the knowledge of folklore and cultural heritage we aim to promote internationalization among our students and our teachers. Tracing similarities and differences between our countries, students and teachers will get to know each other’s country's background and will be projected with greater awareness in the international reality we live in. This awareness will lead our students to become promoters of international entrepreneurship among young people.Music improves skills such as listening, expression, writing, reading and singing. It affects people’s feelings, increases interest towards topics that may not be very interesting to the eye of students, improving learning transfer and retention. Music entertains, but moreover it can educate if the artists understand their audience and what kind of information they need.The first part of the project focuses on the sharing knowledge of folklore and cultural heritage among European partners. Then it will focus on composing music and songs to express and communicate the new gained awareness.Our students will improve their skills and master a medium with which they can be able to change the world.The objectives we would like to achieve are to build the awareness of international connections among European countries and therefore to improve international dialogues and relations, encouraging our students to be more open minded; to raise international entrepreneurship, to improve creativity and strengthen cooperation among young people; to make our students conscious of the works they can do in this international reality; to use ICT as an instrument for international communication, elaboration, evaluation and growth. Comparing methods of teaching and learning of European partners and their values of education and curricula, will lead all partners to adapt to innovative ways of teaching and learning, methods that will be fundamental for this project and for future school strategic partnerships.Reaching these objectives our students will improve their skills and master a medium with which they can be able to become promoters of international entrepreneurship among young people, and thus change the world.The planned activities are going to lead to achievement of the project's objectives by means of improving students skills and letting them be able to master a medium with which they can be able to become promoters of international entrepreneurship among young people.

"The Erasmus+ Project Working together: Education through new bridges is formed by a team of three educational centres committed to pedagogical innovation and the use of ICT in the classroom. Portugal - Italy - Spain united to share educational experiences. The strengths of some help the others to grow, and in this way we have found the ideal team to carry out this adventure.The reality of computational thinking, critical thinking gives us a workspace to integrate programming and robotics (scratch 3.0, app-inventor, Lego Education) as tools for a ""learning by playing"" and ""learning by doing"" approach that facilitates an immersion in the new values of pedagogical innovation in the classroom.Gamification and ICT are tools that support project-based work and broaden our educational framework to enrich our school's educational project. Our teaching teams at all three schools work with a passion for education, committed to offering our pupils the educational options they need to fully integrate into society.Our Erasmus+ project is framed to respond and improve our competences in:- Enhancing the digital competence of the whole educational community -Making open education a reality with innovative practices in the digital era. Programming and robotics - CLIL with ICT.- Improving attention to diversity with values of real social inclusion to improve equal access to new technologies for students with SEN. ICT gives us the opportunity to bring equal opportunities to students, and to generate new educational spaces for diversity.We have successfully achieved the following results:-Increased level of digital competence of pupils and teachers.-Enhance the collaboration and networking of the three schools to extend the collaborative work beyond the Erasmus+ project at the level of pupils and teachers.-To complete internal training courses in the schools after the mobilities increasing the number of teachers with ICT competences and facilitating the exchange of good practices.We’ve transformed the classroom, open education and innovative practices in the digital era have been achieved with the results of curriculum integration in the different educational stages with workshops and activities in Primary and Secondary Education in programming and robotics (SCRATCH JR. - SCRATCH 3.0) and CLIL with ICT (PLICKERS - KAHOOT - PADLETS - EDPUZZLE).Finally, we have been able to create a common content library. A repository of the activities carried out during the project, all of which is collected on our project website, where we bring our experience to the entire educational community.Erasmus+ gives us the opportunity to lose our comfort zone, to face the enriching challenges of working cooperatively and in teams between different schools in Europe, which generates options for shared learning and knowledge."

Our project was designed to function as a guide for students growing up in Europe and is directed to exploring the diversities and problems children can face in everyday life as European citizens. In regard to this aim, throughout the course of the project our students have been working on the following fields: The first obstacle students face is lack of social and emotional skills and for us, school professionals, it is challenging to find effective methods to help them develop it. Some of those methods are creative drama, non-invasive and amusing ways to help children in their journey towards adulthood.Social and emotional intelligence is the foundation of a happy and productive life and social and emotional skills are a prerequisite for successful life. In the world where direct interpersonal communication is becoming less and less common, the school must become a place where students can learn and develop communication skills and adapt appropriate social behaviour. Developing character and human virtues is also one of our goals because if we manage to teach them to be a good people, they can become responsible, tolerant, emphatic, friendly citizen.Civic education is an important part in our project because we think that understanding society in which they live and its functioning is as important as learning civil (children) rights. Additional value will be comparison of civic rules and children rights in different European countries.In our project we included around 100 students of every school. Through different methods and techniques, e.g. mediation techniques or with the help of a feelings&emotions lexicon, the children developed critical thinking, strengthened their attitudes and became able to overcome many problems which they are facing in everyday life, such as difficulties in self-acceptance, peer acceptance (bullying), unhappy home situations or economic insecurity.Creative drama included acting, movement, scriptwriting, improvisational exercises, technical theater and role playing and can be integrated throughout the curriculum. Schooling can be more successful if children are more creative and expressive but also aware of their position in school and society, fighting against early leaving school. At the end of the project, the plan was to establish a mediation club at every school, in order to provide students and schools an infrastructure to continually work on the topics worked on throughout the project, such as peer collaboration, creating a feeling of safety, acceptance and respect for one another at school, practising childrens' rights and being pro-active individuals at their schools and in their individual lives. Unfortunately, due to covid reasons, the meeting in Germany where the mediation workshop was supposed to take place, had to be cancelled. Instead, the schools tried their best to work on the principles of school mediation with the students online. In order to keep up collaboration between the students of our partner schools and to improve students abilities necessary for online learning, some schools tried to stay in connection through online games and tasks that were carried out via the twinspace of the project. The twinspace was rewarded with the National Quality Labels in some of the participating countries.
