The project „Your Europe At Home - shaping Yourope“ was developed by four European schools and joined by students (14-17 years old) from Logrono (Spain), Santo Andre (Portugal), Riga (Latvia) and Hamburg (Germany, project coordinator). The title already emphasizes the two main aspects of our project. On the one hand, it stresses the participants’ attitudes, experiences and knowledge concerning the EU and living together in Europe. On the other hand, the title includes the necessity for the students of being an active participant in the European civic society. Gaining knowledge, being aware of their role in the European society and actively shaping Europe are major goals for our project group. This is even more important during a time where liberal and tolerant achievements are faced by multiple challenges.Beside those Europe-related goals, another main interest was the acquisition of key competences that are important and useful in a globalized and constantly changing society hence, the development of social, digital, linguistic, intercultural and methodological competences was encouraged. Those were fostered by an integrative, student-centered and action-oriented approach, more specifically by a method called “learning by teaching“. For instance, the students developed English questionnaires in international teams (sometimes by coordinating the process via eTwinning), conducted the survey and analyzed the results via word, excel or power point for further working processes.The material used in in the final product dEU is based on the students’ experiences, ideas and reflections throughout the whole project. Consequently, the dEU is a digital learning unit created by students for students, which enables other students to experience the same as the participants in the project. The main topics of the international project meetings (LTTA) were organized along guiding questions: What does the European Union mean to me and my community?, How does the EU work? (EU institutions), In what way does the EU affect me and my community?, How can I actively shape EU policies and society?, How can I continue my commitment in order to share my knowledge about the EU?The first LTTA focused not only on the consciousness on common European values, but also on the awareness of the given diversity. To accomplish this, the students learned the importance and relevance of intercultural competences. Furthermore, they were part of an intercultural training program. During the second LTTA the students acquired knowledge about the EU and the different European institutions. On the basis of their own research on European institutions and agreements they created posters in international groups. The method of visual thinking was applied. Furthermore, they debated on the issue of European migration in a role play.The third LTTA focused on the influences of the EU on our private, local and national level illustrated by Riga (Latvia) as an example. Consequently, the students developed a learning unit that dealt with the influences of the EU on trade, monetary policy, travel and education. During the fourth and fifth LTTA the students reflected and learned different ways of how to participate in the European society as well as actively shaping their interests and the European values. They were supported by external speakers (e.g. Europe direct; Espaço Europa) accompanied by a discussion about a broad variety of possibilities to do so.As a result of their learning the students created multimedia campaigns (topic: “Voter’s participation during the European elections”) and developed ideas for the EuroScouts and their home schools to spread their new gained knowledge. Besides the acquisition of digital and methodological competences, the students stressed through their feedback that they even learned on a micro level that following aspects are unalterable in the European society: being open to everyone and being emphatically are crucial attitudes for a successful cooperation and living together; hence, the students can be considered as multiplicators, that will share those attitudes throughout their social environment. The students’ experiences lead to the development of the digital accessible learning unit dEU (digitalEducationUnit). Through dEU the experiences as well as the knowledge are provided for other schools with the goal to promote and educate socially active and responsible students.

It doesn’t have only undeniable effects like leaving school early but also severe and long term effects. The topic of our project is associated with 2015 Paris Declaration on supporting citizenship and the common values of independence, tolerance and non-discrimination during education. Some of the priorities are” inclusive education,equal opportunity and non-discrimination”and “overcoming discrimination,racism, bullying,violence and stereotypes”in in the strategic framework for European collaboration in education and training.(ET 2020)After finding out the bullying fact around Europe, one partner school made a survey at school and asked a question to learners :“have you ever bullied or cyberbullied or know a friend who have been bullied?”. %35 of the pupils replied as “Yes”. To share useful solutions with other European schools and exhange good practices in order to resist bullying, the Turkish school formed a post on e-twinning and 6 schools with the same purpose gathered. There are 6 (primary and secondary) schools from Poland, Turkey, Macedonia, Crotia , Bulgaria and Portugal as partner schools in our project. Approximately 8000 students, 500 teachers and 200 SEN students from 6 partner schools will take part directly or indirectly during the project. During the first meeting in Turkey where we will explain the dissemination , implementation of the project and next LTTS. There will be two short term joint staff trainings in Portugal and Turkey and 4 short term pupil exchange activities in N.Macedonia,Bulgaria, Poland and Crotia. We will also arrange a final meeting in Poland LTT in which we will write the final report. Detailed outcomes and outputs are the website and the twinspace, the anti-bullying app, short educational movies by students and their parents, songs composed by students on “do not bully, be my buddy” , posters designed by pupils on”together against bullying”, board game, a handbook about bullying,t-shirt designs, “ dream a school atmosphere, draw and paint it” competition, a project logo, a project mascot, a calendar created with the drawings of the winner of the painting activity “Dream a school atmosphere without bullying, draw and paint it”, a digital book, an e-twinning project similar to our KA229 project and the website of our project.The project will help to increase the appreciation of bullying against children, cyberbullying and to respect diversity at schools, to improve friendship and empathy between the students of different European countries, to enlarge intercultural appreciation. Our aim is to work on bullying matter in an international level. Because we think that exchanging opinions and experiences will show new ways to us to feel ourselves as European citizens.Our purposes of the project are to decrease bullying at schools by %10 by transnational teacher trainings, pupils and parents activities and transnational pupil exchanging activities; to share European good practices; to make the participants be conscious of rights of the child ,discrimination and bullying; to raise the level of consciousness about bullying and to improve anti-bullying school policy; to compare the reasons and results of bullying at schools , to widespread peace and mutual empathy between students ; to increase the level of intercultural consciousness and conversations among different ethnic groups, migrants and refugees with the help of project activities such based on music and art which are the global languages of communication; to try to understand others by standing against preconception and discrimination; to develop students’ and teachers’ digital abilities, their foreign language efficiencies ; to enrich intercultural awareness and to learn empathy and to stand against preconception.While conducting this project, critical thinking, team and peer works, previous and last surveys, observation forms, presentations, handbook, evaluation forms after each LTT and the final report will be used as methodologies. The estimated outcomes are; a website, eTwinnig site, youtube films, an app, a digital book/calendar, a board game as well as: raising the interest to learn English,powerful emotion of belonging to “the European community”, decreased severity in partner schools, e currently improved anti-bullying school policy,raising the academic success of pupils who have been bullied before,better ICT abilities, higher adaptation of teachers in European educational community.However,finally our biggest wish is that teachers and parents will be able to learn their roles and duties to cope with bullying.In long term,the severity at partner schools will be on the fall of with the help of the activities about friendship and empathy messages in this project.After the project finishes,the pupils and teachers will probably continue working on these languages.Their ICT abilities will develop and this make them to use their developed abilities in their lives, jobs and new EU projects.

CONTEXT72 years after adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the rights of the weaker ones are still being violated. Instead of a peaceful and safe life for all human beings, the lack of democratic values is leading millions of people to be bullied, discriminated, mistreated, excluded, imprisoned and killed based on prejudice and stereotypes.There is a need to take action towards the violation of human rights and promote a spirit of democracy, active citizenship and social entrepreneurship in our schools and communities.GENERAL AIMS-Raise awareness to the importance of democratic values and the respect for human rights-Get involved in the defense of human rights, promoting more cohesive and inclusive societies-Develop 21st century skills by means of active citizenship and social entrepreneurship.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES-Promote intercultural awareness, tolerance , respect, acceptance, equity, social cohesion, active citizenship and social entrepreneurship-Improve foreign language skills-Enhance skills in ICT, Coding and Robotics-Foster student-centered methodologies-Deepen 21st century skills -Promote a whole-school and cross-sectorial approach -Foster internationalisation of institutions-Increase European mobilities -Promote school success and reduce early school leaving -Facilitate the integration in the global labour market.PARTICIPANTSThere will be 4 mainstream schools and a special needs school. The target groups will be mostly secondary students, in cooperation with vocational students. However, all levels, including pre-school and primary children will participate in project activites, in cooperation with older students. There will be a special focus on students with poor school performance and in risk of failure and students with integration difficulties and disabilities (deaf and hard of hearing).ACTIVITIESA short-term joint staff training event at the beginning will provide teachers with necessary methods and tools for project implementation.Pupils from different levels and subjects will work on project topics related to Democracy and Human Rights. Acivities will be carried out by means of online communication (eTwinning) and also in five short-term exchanges of pupils, during which participants will work cooperatively in mixed groups. There will be follow-up activities for dissemination and exploitation of project results.At the end of the project students will present project results at the European Parliament as well as their ideas to prevent Human Rights’ violation. METHODOLOGYA whole-school and cross-sectorial approach will involve learners from pre-school to secondary level, including vocational courses. Associated partner in the community will also be involved.Project activities will be developed by means of student-centered methodologies like Content and Languge Integrated Learning (CLIL), Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Computer Sciences (CS) by means of Coding and Robotics and also the Montessori Method.The interaction of these methodologies will be the best way for pupils to learn by doing. They will work in teams (mixed healthy and disabled) using their creativity, critical thinking and accountability, this way deepening their linguistic, social, cooperative and civic competence. Active involvement of pupils in practical exercises of Democracy and organisation of activities will promote their entrepreneurial and citizenship skills as well as their autonomy and empathy.

"This project name „Let´s go increase skills of 21st century“ is based on ICT and polytechnic education. The aim of the project is to improve conditions for successful learning and offer a variety of activities and methods which focus on practical activites.The project involves five schools in five countries – the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. All schools want to increase skills of 21st century, especially information and communication skills and technic skills. In all partner schools there are students with different cultural background, migrant students, students with learning difficulties and all of them need individual approach. All schools want to use innovative methods to find a way how to improve student´s results and help them to feel satisfied with their studies and reduce early school leaving. The school in Czech Republic, (coordinator school), Zakladni škola Vrchlickeho 22 Sumperk is the school with an extensive teaching of information and communication technology and foreign languages (English, Germany and Russian). The aim of the school is to educate Europian oriented people, use innovative methodolities and ICT. Almost teachers involve in ICT or polytechnic project and increase in their children ICT competences.The school in Turkey, ORTAKOY 80.YIL MESLEKI VE TEKNIK ANADOLU LISESI, is a vocational and industrial high school. The school is consits of technic parts – Electricity, Electronics Technologies, Computer, Machinery, Wood and Metal Technologies – and the school prepare students for technical thinking and proffessions. The school in Italy, Istituto Tecnico Settore tecnologico - Liceo Scientifico ""E. Mattei"", is a secondary level education, which is consist of Scientific Lyceum and Technical Institute. Italian school has got experiences with robotic teaching, Abruzzo Coding and others. The school has got Classroom 3.0: equipped with digital, which is modified each time according to educational needs and Robotics Classroom: equipped with modular and modular furniture according to the experimental needs, supplied with ""Scribbler"" and ""Lego EV3"" robots, dedicated to coding and educational robotics.The school in Greece, The 3rd Gymnasio of Larissa (High School), has got ICT, Science and Technology laboratories. Teachers strengthen critical thinking and polytechnic education in their students and teach in innovative methods and new programme.The school in Portugal, Agrupamento de Escolas de Santo André, is a multicultural schools, many students are from African countries, Brasil, China, Moldova, Ukraine, Romania. Apart from the ethnical and linguistic differences it is the students’ social status that sometimes leads to integration difficulties of some students. The school is consits of 4 schools and has got many laboratories. We have decided to prepare a project which offers pupils an opportunity of personal development, an opportunity to improve existing skills and to try something new. We believe that the suggested activities will improve pupils´ attendance at school and their commitment to education.The project will involve hundreds (900) of students, directly or indirectly. Some activities will be short-term and they will bring an innovative method to a lesson, for example practical activities for learning Chemistry, Biology, Physics and ICT. Some activities will be long-term and they will require morecommitment and engagement from students, for example programming a robot by micro:bit, making video based on ICT activities. Some activities will be organized as a workshop, for example Science or ICT workshops or a project day for children from a local kindergarten to show children making robots or organize a competitions with robots for parents. Students age 13 - 16 will benefit from the project. The activities will improve team work, reduce stress and stimulate creativity and imagination.Students will make a calendar with robots, make T-shirts in program Pixlr, in Sketch up program will designe their robots, will organize a competition and races with robots, will learn about social media tools and how to be on the internet safe - all these activities will boost their creativity. Students will improve their language, communicative, IT and Scientic skills - they will design websites, make presentations about their school, download photos and learn how to edit photos and download videos. Scientific subjects will offer more attractive activities to motivate students to study them. Various educational materials (worksheets, cards) will be created, tested and reviewed during the two years of the project duration and should become a common aid after the project is completed.We hope to form close friendships between the participants from our schools, between different students within the school, between students and teachers. We hope the project will be a life changing experience for all the participants."
