"The project´s title is LESSONS FOR PRESENT, LESSONS FOR FUTURE and the countries that are participating are: Spain, Lithuania, Slovakia, Greece, Italy, Poland, Finland and Turkey. All partners will prepare short-term exchanges which will include a seminar about the National Educational System and the way their schools work, focusing on the way they face the school failure and the early school-leaving (if it concerns), a seminar about the consequence of WW II in their countries (Concentration Camps), in Spain it will be about the Spanish Civil War, Pedagogical seminars about how to teach/learn the Holocaust/Extermination: Auschwitz (International Center for Education) and History Seminars: Lithuania, Greece, Italy, Poland, Finland, Spain and Turkey.The seminars are very important in order to achieve the aims of the project, which are improving and acquiring innovative pedagogical tools and resources for students and teachers in order to fight against the new forms of totalitarianism in Europe and updating the didactic material under a new perspective according to the current reality and the needs of the society that we are living.The participants will be students of Secondary Education schools and Vocational Education. We address to students from different groups and levels because we also want to involve participants with fewer opportunities which are suffering from the consequence of the crisis and of social isolation. Those participants will benefit from the grant so that money will not be a reason for not participating. We will try to involve their families in the project through the Parents Association. At the same time teachers and Departments will work together to reach the results of the project.All partners will make as a final product four teaching units about WW II from the following perspectives: Resistance, Collaboration, Indifference and Current Totalitarian messages from radical parties in Europe. Those Units will be based on testimonies of survivors and on a selection of materials: pictures, writings, speeches and movies, and they will not only deal with the Historical issue but also with ethical such as Democracy, Human Rights, totalitarian parties, xenophobia, etc. Through those Units we want to emphasize the importance of the social activism in order to have a real Democracy but without causing negative attitudes to the representatives of the different countries.The Teaching Units will be a part of a book of 4 groups (4 x 7= 28 TUs) which will follow the same structure: a) Historical introduction (background)b) Historical materialsc) Content, Concept and Procedured) Activitiese) Resourses and bibliographyThe project is complementary to other works carried out by the partners, related to our topic:1. ""Roots"" project in Lithuania.2. Missions for finding Jewish cemeteries.3. Organizing seminars, delivering educational lectures on the Holocaust.4. Managing the funds of the Jewish Museum, etc.All partners will make as a final product:1. A teaching guide (goals, contents and process) about how to fight the current radical Totalitarianism through the History of the concentration camps in Europe, the consequence of the Spanish Civil War and the Holocaust and its relationship with the national History focused on the way in which society reacts when facing the new reality during the Extermination: four didactic units: Collaboration, Indifference, Resistance and Currunt attitude. This point includes an anthology of texts, fragments of movies/documentaries and pictures about that.2. A home movie/documentary made by all partner students which will include survivors' testimonies and students feelings and opinions after knowing the History from a pedagogical point of view.3.

Improvement of pedagogical and didactic skills to make students understand the importance of social activism."

The Project involved 2 general education high schools,the Italian coordinator,and a Finnish partner:both have improved the quality of their provisions for learners through on-site(six)and virtual mobilities(two)for pupils and staff,increasing their ability to work in the framework of international projects.It has directly involved 100 people.Activities:4 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils;4 short-term joint staff training events,that have trained participants to manage the timeline and rules for sharing;compare eachother's assessment systems;enhance assessment skills;create more efficient assessment grids;adopt good practices at a personal(teachers and pupils)and a systemic level.Thus, critical thinking,values,attitudes and behaviours have been boosted to allow participants to practice skills and knowledge acquired.It has,also,developed and disseminated tools for assessment of basic social and civic competences for pupils,especially European citizenship(e.g.Learning to learn individually/in groups).Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship:ability to turn ideas into action through creativity,to plan and manage projects.Cultural awareness and expression,in an international environment,and high quality professional competences for teachers(e.g. assessing quality and relevance of one's own and pupil's competences),as well as different learning approaches to reach out educational goals.It has supported individuals in acquiring and developing key competences,including transversal and soft skills,foreign language and digital skills,fostering a socio-educational development. The Project has supported redesigning of usual educational practices,allowing pupils to achieve their personal fulfilment,becoming more aware of the results they aimed at,either at school, or in their life;it has also strengthened teachers' professional profile improving their skills,particularly in the fields of interculture and evaluation,demanding innovation.The extent of its impact has been widened by the people from the two partner cities,involved in the activities and,especially in dissemination(pupils’families and hosts).A strong educational impact has also been proved, through implementation of:a proEuropean citizenship approach,integrated into the school activities;an overcoming of the self-centred approach in assessment and evaluation procedures;an increase in students' motivation and active participation into school life;an increase in teachers' motivation because of a new systematic methodological approach.Sustainability will be granted by the other local schools(lower and upper secondary)that have become acquainted with the results,and that will be proposed the new evaluation protocol.Besides,the partnership will live on through a stable educational twinning and an exchange of pupils and teachers,that have already been agreed on,for more peer reviewing,training,teaching assignments,research.All those activities will be carried out either on-site or on line.
