"How can we expose the substantial abilities of our students?by this question we specify our subject of project as STEM education.By means of STEM students enrich their physical and cultural world,improve their self-sufficiences as critical thinking,problem solving.(Corlu&Aydın,2016).Stem education Come to exist by the correspondency of needings and be close to the problems by the integrative point of view(Buber,2011).The country number of the survey which is coordinated in 2015 is 72 and marly the number of student is 540000.In this survey the questions which specify the education quality,gathered on three main topics.These topics are;science literacy which measures the interest skills of Science subjects and ideas about science as boeing an active citizen.Reading skills which measures the understanding,usage,thinking and interest attending the society,improving the potential and knowledge. Mathematical literacy students can establish mathematical logic which the ability of how to use mathematical concepts,processes and materials to guess,explain and establish the logic(OECD,PISA Results 2016)It iş specified based upon these results is that the main problem why we and our partners are back among the countries which has high education quality is there isnt any social atmosphere for our children to discover their potential.(PISA 2015)When the graphics are observed for each of the foundation it draws the attention that we are unsuccessful on Mathematics,Science and Reading Skills.Our aim of project for the teachers of common foundation is to gain career ability with the STEM practices and observe the education of our partners in Europe,compare and satisfy their need and raisa the capacity of each foundation by transferring firstly to students and later to foundation. It is aimed that the success will be raised in each foundation,improvement of the career development of each attendant,transferring the experience to foundation,parents and other schools,development of students social-cultural position,integrating the scientific technological improvement to education field.As a result our project intersects botu with Europe 2020 vision and our partner's own strategic vision.In another words we want to reach to support and oppurtunities to be professional.By our project we want to make a STEM archieve to draw attention the place of STEM education world,to introduce the STEM with teachers and students,to present the 21st century skills that STEM education improves engineering loop on students ,improving the design process skills ,showing and describing the practiced STEM.We decide to study with the headline STEM by the suitable detection that the learning environment variety and wide the usage of the technology in education.STEM ,""Science,Technology,Engineering,Mathematics.""Its an abbreviation of the first letter of Science,Technology,Engineering,Mathematics words.By our project there will be studies about to worldwide of entegrating the science and mathematics lessons at school level,teaching the engineering and technology by in and out of class activities.""Why do we need STEM?""we aim to find the answer of this question at the end of the LTT studies with our project partners Poland,Italy,Turkey and Esthonia.It is our strong belief that by this study we will be the loadstar for our students to provide the equality in oppurtunity. By our project we know we will improve our thinking and problem solvent skills,carry to the high level the Communication among people and cooperation skills.We aim to gain these skills in these fields first to the attendants later to the students.By the process of education students will gain variety of different skills as critical thinking,problem solvent, cooperation study besides the main disciplines.Main aime of our project is to draw attention in the place in STEM education,to introduce students and teachers by STEM education,to explain the basic concepts of STEM education,to present the fields improved by the 21st century skills,to improve the engineering loop and the skills of design process,to present and explain the practiced STEM education,to reach to the sourced about the STEM education."

"The Project ""SOS: It is time to take action for Technology Addiction "" will be implemented by a partnership consisting of six secondary schools from different European countries:Romania, Turkey, Holland, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland. Some of them are State General Education schools and some of them Vocational School It will be a two-year project. We'll carry out 6 LTT activities. 4 students (at the age of 14-18) and 2 teachers will join for every project meeting. It is building on ongoing Etwinning project . The National ID is 216194The project will also be community-centered. By collaboration with various local institutions and informal groups of people, we hope to enhance the local social capital in our city and partners cities and make it a better place to live. The project will offer an extremely stimulating and developing experience for the students that will change their attitudes and perception of the world, influence their life choices, give them the drive to pursue their aims, bring out their hidden skills, help them to become active and conscious members of their local communities, nations and truly European citizens.Each Mobility we will celebrate Safer Internet Day (SID) is a worldwide event that raises awareness about online safety and encourages everyone to help create a better internet, is to inspire a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively, runs a helpline, and works closely with youth to ensure an evidence-based, multi-stakeholder approach to creating a better internet. We will organise a safety technology campaign in every country. The aim of these activities is removing students from the harm of internet and technology, showing healthy usage them.We (co.and partners)'ll deal with various forms of Technology such as geocatching, preparing apps, animation with scratch, augmented reality, e book for students and teachers stories for triggering and developing technology perspective of students, to help them enriching and bringing out their hidden 21st Century skills. By using non-academic activities, we want to attract all types of students lazy, shy, poor, hardworking..., students who don't have time to bring out their skills or the students who don't want to participate in social activities or who see social activites unnecessary because of the technological development, who have domestic economic problems and give them a chance to feel important, build their personality and selfconfidence.We'll create joint end products: the logo of the project, online safety tool kit, leaflet of cyberbullying, preparing apps, magazine of useful ways of ICT, digital art magazine, preparing public spot, project blog, utube channel, and a set of lesson plans for lessons conducted in ICT institutions. Working together with representatives of other nations' ICT institutions we'll raise awareness of ınternet addiction.To achieve objectives of our project, we'll do various kinds of activities, such as workshops, competitions, exhibitions, evaluations... that other institutions like other schools in our localities, ICT centres, children homes will be taken part in. The activities are aimed not only to create end products, but also to form attitudes of entrepreneurship and leadership, teach teamwork skills, perform well in new situations, cooperate with people of different backgrounds, develop 21st century students skills, develop foreign language skill, form resources for UNICEF and WHO, learn new teaching methods, form a sense of national identity by attending lessons ICT centresWe will disseminate project by doing:1. presentations of exchange results in teachers’ meetings (students)2. updates of the Erasmus+ spaces in schools7. materials (articles, photos, testimonials) uploaded on the school websites8. articles published in local media, interviews for local radio and TV Project-based learning, live and learn, social interaction model, Evaluation methods, Enquiry-based learning approach, Question-answer, Discussion, Brainstorming, Hands-on method, Place-based education to ensure active involvement of the students in the activities are methodologies while we are implementing the project.Project is student-centered, the students will be all project activities at all stages from preparation to evaluation, dissemination of its results and teachers'll only guide them.

"Young people are the ones who are most subjected to new media and at the same time the ones that often lack abilities to independently and critically evaluate what they come across in the flow of media and information.Rendering that young people are the most susceptible to the dangers posed by the media and that we live in an era of media saturation, the inclusion of media and information literacy (MIL) education in school programs to generate knowledge on the role and functions of media and other information services, and to enable youth to process and evaluate the information they receive is a must. Due to the gap in media literacy development among the different States, the diversity of approach, initiatives and policies, the coordinator(Poland) decided to implement the current project with 4 other actors(Italy,Turkey,Latvia,Portugal) who have good practices and are dedicated to solving the problem.Internet and social media addiction, cyberbullying, fake news problems, adaptation to emerging digital culture, access to reliable information, online personal privacy violations, data security and various forms of digital fraud are among the fields of our project interest.Totally 50 teachers, who worked voluntarily in their schools for the solution of the problem, have a high level of commitment to the project and 125 students aged 13-15 and from all walks of life will join to 5 LTTs.Each LTT will enable us to accomplish the project objectives.The 1st LTTAs will benefit students to take full advantage of the opportunities of social media in a safe and ethical way; learn to choose what platform to post something on and the potential consequences of posting; feel part of the society by sharing personal thoughts on media and that feeling of belonging, which is a key for their social inclusion.The 2nd LTTAs will provide participants with tools to spot ‘fake news’ online, understand how they spread, and obtain access to verified information.This LTTAs will contribute to participants ability to be more discerning consumers of information found online, by thinking about the broad spectrum of disinformation and misinformation.As for the 3rd LTT, it aims to highlight each unique media form has a different way of presenting information.Students will understand how media change depending on how the media presenting; enhance their newspotting skills.Thanks to the 4th LTT, it is purposed to analyze the cases of the European schools regarding cyberbullying issues and to make all schools a cyber safe place and carry ""the cyber safe place"" concept to families as well.As for the last LTT, it will enable students to be judicious and active in content creation; produce info or reproduce disinformation instead of only receiving info passively; hold a sense of responsibility in the production, consumption and sharing of media.Our project also targets at strengthening the profiles of the teaching professions.In all LTTs there will be 5 workshops for teachers about innovative and contemporary teaching methods(Project based learning,Blended learning,ICT, Gamification, CLIL).These workshops will provide teachers with the opportunity of sharing good practices; strengthening intercultural dialogue and the bond between teachers from different European schools.These objectives will be achieved through Issue-inquiry Approach, Problem-based Learning,Case Study,Cooperative Learning,Textual and Contextual Analyses,ICT,CLIL.Under the favor of our LTTAs and methodologies, we target at accomplishing the following outcomes:Increased level of media and information literacy5 workshops about innovative teaching methods7 workshops in LTTs about MIL1 digital book as a final and common product5 digital e-bookletsPosters about positive digital footprint and digital citizenship weekVideos about digital citizenshipA podcast about digital rightsA social media literacy strategy plan (each school will adopt it for its own context)A storyboard about dis/mis/mal-informationLesson plans on Internet and Social Media AddictionBookmarks involving messages about MILOne-shot filmsMIL glossaryMovie postersDigital citizenship and MIL weeksThanks to local activities; eTwinning project; displaying project outputs in diverse media outlets; seminars; eTwinning learning events; our digital book; action plan on MIL;social media literacy strategy plan;Digital citizenship and MIL Weeks to be held every year in partners' schools, we will reach to larger audience and contribute to their being effective and long- lasting media literate European citizens.It is useful to think of MIL as a continuum rather than an outcome; we all will be more media and information literate.Briefly, in the long term, in/direct participants of the Project will have the capacity for access to, production and participation in the new media environment, act as active and critical citizens, take advantage of the opportunities in progress and innovation in the information society."

Culture constitutes the great wealth and driving force of the European Union. Indeed, just the former year, 2018, was declared as the European Year of Cultural Heritage, thus wishing to stimulate action but also to enhance the value of culture in developing a common European identity and a sense of belonging to the EU citizens. The present proposal seeks the convergence of culture and education through the creation of an integrated educational program for the younger audience and especially the school and preschool audience provided in small museums, mainly in the province, of EU countries, using modern technology with emphasis on augmented and mixed reality. The partnership of this project has been formed with the participation of academic partners, small and large-scale museums, technological bodies along with secondary schools.The present project hopes to turn the school visit to the museum into a stunning, charming and enjoyable learning process through an application and a game appropriately designed for school education and for its use in the educational process of the classroom providing the opportunity for experiential practice and play in the museum. The target audience is the whole school community, but mainly focusing on children, teenagers and teachers in the areas of the partners.In order to achieve the objectives of the project, a set of activities will be set up concerning both the implementation and the subsequent exploitation of its results.The following results are expected from the implementation of the project:• A guide to museum education with the use of modern technology• Virtual tour platform tailored to school education• Game with enhanced and mixed reality technology• Application for smartphones and tablets with access both to the platform and the game Apart from the partner schools involved in the project, it is planned to inform the school community of the region of each partner museum with an invitation to visit and use the integrated educational program. The outcomes of the project will be available at no cost, both during the project and for three years after the funding period for further elaboration.By implementing the project, the following objectives are expected to be achieved:• shaping the perception of small and medium-sized museums as places of learning, especially in the province of EU countries • highlighting the potential of technology as a means of promoting and learning about Europe's culture• highlighting the potential of technology as a means of attracting children and young people to the cultural wealth of Europe • the promotion of educational programs provided by museums as additional to the education taking place in the classroom• developing co-operation between museums and school communities to provide modern education• redefining small and medium-sized museums in the province of EU countries as attractive destinations for children and youth

EU Erasmus+ Project Populism in Modern Europe. A treat to democracy or a part of it?The aims of the project are to analyze the increase of populism in Europe. Since after the end of World War 2 populism has been passive as a means of spreading opinions in Europe. This has radically changed since the 1980s. We have seen a constant development of populistic groups in our society and today populist has reached a high level of influence and power in all of Europe. This includes both left and right-wing populism. Today we see actual examples of populism in politics but there is also a widespread usage of the term when wanting to discriminate against political opponents or creating negative public opinions.The aim of the project is to analyze the role of populism in a democratic society and create awareness of its positive and negative aspects but also to enhance knowledge of what populism really is.In order to do so we want to study the causes and background of populism and create strategies to prepare students to become aware of democratic values in The European community and the world.The following points are been studied in the project:•What is populism and how can we understand it?• Historic background of populism•Populism and democracy – the correlation between them•Populism and effects on the European values and democratic institutions•Why and how populism is used in the political arena•Strategies to recognized and create consciously ability to accept or reject populist agendas•What types of people are most susceptible to populism and how the political groups use it•The role of schools in the creation and education of democratic citizens•implementation of democratic values in the educational system. The overall aim is via these points to make awareness among youngsters of the situation in their local, regional, and European society by deepening that knowledge when comparing and facing several different political and cultural aspects in everyday life. All in the spirit to increase the feeling and belonging of European citizenship. The whole project will be based on today’s leading scientist data, such as Cas Mudde and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser among others. We are 5 European high schools in Sweden, Greece, North Macedonia, Italy, and France. The project will include more than 1200 youngsters and teachers at a secondary level in 5 EU countries, we will work using conferences, courses, and workshops to study and analyze the main objectives of our project. Politicians and EU representatives will be invíted to participate. Due to the subject nature, we will invite NGOs and the public, in general, to participate during our meetings.We planned to have a living and democratic discussion on our websites and eTwinning site, with our development reports and results.We will show our students and to the public in general, the threat that populism has in modern Europe.By making this project we hope to create students that are prepared to tackle the threats against democratic values in Europe.
