''we can not long survive spiritually seperated in a world that is geographically together'' quoted by Martin Luther inspires our project partnership as it focuses on intercultural dialoque and perfectly underlines our aim.We aim to succeed this interaction via dance and music as we are by nature musical, rhythmical as humanbeing. We are surrounded by music every day,enjoy it for relaxation, and may dance to it, yet many of us have only experience music in school during a weekly class lesson. Music is a part of our life that its nature and purpose is rarely questioned. It is a lifelong activity as a universal part of all cultures. Schools and society must develop our children to be happy, well-adjusted citizens, rather than people who can just pass a test and get through school.Music and dance are an important part of reaching this and of ensuring that the young can achieve their potential and contribute to our society. “Dance in education involves in creating, performing and appreciating movement as a means of expression and communication. Dance differs from the other physical education programme in that primary concern is with the expressive quality of movement and the enjoyment and appreciation of the aesthetic and artistic qualities of movement”. With this project,we want to give our students the possibility to identify themselves with the way of European thinking.We want our students to meet and know different cultures,customs and peeople .We can learn and share our ideas by excanging our thoughts. On the other hand,we want our students to improve their own skills and abilities.We are sure this project will be an opportınıty for improvinng their self-confidence.With the activities,the students will learn to be aware of the beauties of their traditional music, dances and customs. The main target group of this project is students that are the owners of our future. That is why all our activities are students oriented and can be only accomplished with their active participation. The aim of the activities is to enable the students gain knowledge and abilities that they can use in the future. The main objectives of our project are:-To maintain close tights between cultures and share innovative methods and tools lıke popularsongs,traditional dances from generation to generation to teach and learn communication-to discover European cultures and introduce our traditional dances,-to respect the cultural, geographical diversity among European countries,-to stimulate creativity and curiosity by producing innovative ideas of dance workshops,-to improve success and motivation of pupils especially from disadvantaged backgrounds,-to develop the communication skills with the help of sharing knowledge in a variety of methods,-to develop ICT skills, use of multimedia and social Networks via internet,-to feel the spirit of being a European citizen through dances.In order to achieve our objectives, we have planned to make ;-A teacher training on '' Music in Education! Ways of integration of music into Curriculum Subjects'' in Italy-4 Short-term exchanges of groups of pupils in Spain,Poland,Italy and Crotia during two years.- make a book of stories from mobilities , poems and songs, dances of each country. The potential longer term benefits of our project are;-The project will be a good way for making our schools more interesting for the students. -Taking part in international cooperations, activities will be rewarded by students, parents, teachers and local authorities as for offering students the possibility to grow up in international awareness and increasing understanding and tolerance between different cultures.-They will have the chance to compare and share their traditional dances, songs and festivals via different activities.We believe taking part in such a project will help both students and teachers and parents to break the barriers and create an open-minded,tolerant society . So with 5 partner schools taking part in the project and spreading the knowledge gained and involving people activty with the measures on integration put into practice, an estimated number of more than 150 people benefiting directly from the activities.We hope there will be many more involved.

This project answers a common need to develop these competencies in our school environment. The Internet is one of the greatest additions to our lives and we take full advantage of it. Parents, in their struggle for existence&career, neglect their children, don’t have enough time to listen, share their joys%sorrows, guide them. In many cases, children seek refuge in the virtual world, feeling the Internet makes their life easier, empowered. Being liked, gaining excellence in games,f eeling equal&filling empty time fills the void of adolescents with deficient offline social skills.This project approaches social&civic EU key competencies because our students need to understand how they can attain personal&social well-being through a healthy lifestyle.These include personal, interpersonal&intercultural competence and cover behaviors necessary to participate in an effective&constructive way in social&working life. Acquiring the civic competence will allow them to engage effectively with others in the public domain,and display solidarity&interest in solving problems affecting local&wider community.ObjectivesThis partnership intends, through a European cooperation,to make pupils aware of the need to rationally, efficiently&safely use the Social Media, preventing school abandonment. It promotes the‘learning to learn’ key competence-the ability to organize one's own learning,including through effective management of time&information.This includes one's awareness of learning process&needs.Thus,our students can gain,process and assimilate new knowledge&skills,seek and make use of guidanceParticipants1.Regarding LTTAs: All partners have chosen 24+8 mobilities, so our partnership’ll bring a minimum of 192 mobilities. From previous experience,this number is usually exceeded.Students&teachers will participate in meetings in partner countries&work in multicultural teams, according to planned activities. The partnership is a chance for all to participate, work, see, compare&learn in a multicultural environment, in a foreign country.Methodology All partners will involve actively:taking part in project reunions,working in multicultural teams in planned activities,evaluating project progress&impact,sharing experiences&best practices,plan next activities.Project’s coordinator will monitor fulfilment of the tasks, collaborating with the people responsible for all the teams.Results and ImpactImpact on students:-Awareness&improvement of Social Media(SM)safe,rational use-Awareness of SM addiction danger&effects-Development of social&civic skills,self-esteem,critical thinking,creativity&synthesis-Enhancement of healthy&accountable alternatives to SM-Hobbies exploitation for talent developmentTeachers:-Professional portfolio enhancement with extracurricular activities(competitions,shows,photo exhibitions,campaigns for healthy&responsible lifestyle)-Digital skills’improvement-Web 2.0 tools-Native language&English skills’improvementSchool:-Local,national&international school image improvement-Increase of attractiveness,students’number&competitiveness,implementing new teacher strategies-New approaches’introduction to institutional development&resource management-EU projects experience gain-Extracurricular offer diversification-European dimension’s consolidation in education,active European citizenship promotionWider lifelong learning community:-Enrichment of other schools with new teaching strategies-Other schools’benefits by using disseminated end products-Promotion of lifelong learning&school application for EU projects in other schoolsCommunity:-Parents’awareness of SM dangers& rational use need-Local,national&international image promotion-Improvement of school-community relationship,community’s confidence

LEGOs have stood the test of time. Even with competing video and computer games, most kids still love building with bricks. These fun LEGO STEM activities give children hands-on practice with science, technology, engineering, and math – skills they’ll rely on for years to come.Today’s teachers have to prepare pupils for future professions, help to educate critical thinking, learn to solve everyday problems in an innovative way, improve communicative and collaborative skills, motivate to follow and to be interested in innovations, foster to include them in everyday life.Due to the large information flow and great supply of educational tools, it is difficult to examine and try all educational methods and tools. However, it is very important to select what is the most suitable for our pupils and which tools will be the best for capacity building and will prepare students for future lives and professions, which even do not exist in nowadays.Our project will promote togehter cooperation between partners. It is expected to exchange of best working practices, to examine new interactive tools used in education by each partner.The initiated project is concerned about practice-oriented teaching methods, which aim is to develop such skills as creativity, activity, team work.Our main objectives are:O1: promoting the inclusion of students that are excluded, the pupils with absence of primary competences, the risk of being excluded, with particular needs supporting them to promote theirinclusion among the mainstream education and society.O2:applying innovative strategies to overcome exclusion in the society, the absence of primarycompetences and the exclusion issueO3:leading innovative ways in the development of social and emotional of the child as part of pupils withparticular needs' in practical curriculum.O4.Improvement of pupils' confidence in new surroundings, with the view to to increasing their adaptability and adjustabilityO5 Enabling the development of intercultural competences of the contributors, their awareness of common European values.The project is addressed to primarily students, who will be engaged in all the stages of the project – preparing, exchanging, disseminating and exploiting activities. The target group of students is created of 1000 students at the age of 6-11. They are a combination of nationalities, social and economic backgrounds, religions, mixed abilities students, both high and low achievers, urban and rural areas, technical or general training students. This is what makes the project really attractive. The fact that we can watch each other and learn from one another about our problems, hobbies, career plans, and opportunities.Altogether, we will choose 75 students to take part directly in the exchanges. They will prepare for exchanges, have English lessons, cultural lessons, explore the topic of the exchange, cooperate with their European peers, prepare projects, make and give presentations, do surveys among local authorities, write reports etc.40 teachers will take part as accompanying persons. They will be people from the project team and other teachers of different specialisations – English, Science, Chemistry, Technical Subjects, Biology, Geography etc. They will support students and their work, and also help them in any needs during exchanges.Managers,staff and parents will be involved in project activities.New strategies are intended to be developed for these schools to increase their ability to prevent school abandonment through a partnership based on different international best practices in each school. The project is trying to find ways to encourage the inclusion of pupils at risk in the activities of the Community and on the labor market.We practice new connections between the formal and informal education and non-formal, in order to offer students solutions to these four problems and real opportunities for their behavior.The concrete products of the project will be:- Lego stem laboratory in each participant school.- 20 stem activities with legos.- web page of the project.During our project, the five partners intend to create both tangible and intangible results in the short term and the long-term viability and to obtain the greatest possible impact on the future projects and processes of politics, such as driving students to overcome the absence of confidence, in order to ensure continuous access to the general information on the activities of the project, the progress and results of the newspapers, writing reports and the creation of panels or leaflets on-the-spot checks in order to inform other people about the context and the main results of the project, the organization of an event multiplier effect, communication, and cognitive abilities of pupils at risk, nurturing effective partnerships between trainers, educators and organizations in the Community.

"The gamification method, which is used frequently today, is known as the material that provides benefits in educational environments and helps students to create meaningful learning.In the literature, digital games are used in all areas of education.English education is one of these areas.Since English is an abstract and difficult to learn course for students, it is known that students have problems in this subject and countries are not at the desired level.According to the new generation of high school students, the fact that the textbooks / activities are both ordinary and boring, and that these students are more focused on university exams cause them to graduate quite inadequately about their English knowledge and skills, and to realize the necessity of English at a time when they are put into real life.However, regardless of the profession chosen by the students, the fact that they need to have digital competence and English skills should not be ignored. Considering the situations described above, it is thought that digital educational games that will be applied by gamification method will contribute to the English education in high schools.The project ""A New Approach in English Education: Gamification"" is connected with development and exchange of good practices between Turkey, Italy,Portugal and Slovenia in the field of art supported gamification activities involving transmission of the educational process.The main aim of our project is to enable teachers to integrate technology into English courses by using information and communication technologies (ICT) tools in English lessons, which are different from traditional classroom environments, especially in English courses, with low academic achievement, lack of selfconfidence towards English, reluctant and irrelevant students who have anxiety and concern Motivating against learning English, making learning and teaching process more attractive and enjoyable in English, which is often perceived as abstract, complex and difficult; to provide a positive effect on English lessons by using students' interest in computer games and technology.With this project; In addition to increasing their knowledge, skills and competences in English, students will have the opportunity to improve their skills of regulation, thinking and social skills while they learn English. We aim to deal with daily life problems that require problem solving and decision-making skills in a more comfortable way.Experts predict that 90% of future professions will require digital skills. For this reason, it is important for students and educators to have knowledge of daily digital technology experiences for educational institutions. The project will include 4 Learning Teaching Training Activities (LTTA).- Innovative Gamification Practices Material Development Study-1 (Short term joint staff training activities in Slovenia)- Innovative Gamification Practices Learning Activity (Short term change of student groups in Italy)- Innovative Learning Material Development Activity of -2 (Short-term joint staff training activities that will take place in Turkey)- Innovative Gamification Practices Learning Activities (Short term change of student groups in Portugal) Concrete Outputs of Our Project: -Online Applications Digital Book for English Lessons That Can Be Used in Gamification Method -English Lesson Plans on Gamification Applications -Imagine, Design, Produce Banner Design Competition -""My english Story Book"" and "" Cartoon Magazine"" writing event Workshop and Exhibition -Workshop: ""The Role and Importance of Gamification in English Education"" -Conference: ""Gamification in English Language Teaching"" -An international article"

"<< Background >>The environmental crisis is alarming today, because humanity uses more natural resources than the planet can reproduce. The world is facing one of its most important challenges: to develop itself sustainably. As members of the European Union and citizens of the world, the partners of this project : France, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey and North Macedonia want to take part in European efforts for the environment and sustainable development. We were challenged by the sentence of Pierre Rabhi : ""Which planet will we leave to our children and which children will we leave to the planet"". The partners of this group are aware of their responsibility and their role in the ecological transition. Awareness must start with school, and we are committed to use our skills and our various experiences for ecologically virtuous purposes. A good knowledge of the richness of each of the partners' environments, the ecosystems that live in each country and their roles in nature is the basis that we have chosen to raise students’ awareness and that the following actions make sense. In their strategies of development, the administrative departments of the partner schools in this project want to give priority to a professional training about sustainable development but also to the use of digital tools necessary for research and for the success of exchanges between the partners. We want the actions and training offered to be an opportunity to learn about life in society: that everyone is consulted, invited to speak, to express their point of view while respecting that of others’, without ever wanting to erase the differences but transform them into assets. We hope that the activities led in schools have an intergenerational impact and that, hence, solidarity wins over individualism, generosity over withdrawal, the long term over the immediate, sobriety over unrestrained consumption. . The ""Ecoles' logie"" project will promote European cooperation and the development of creativity, multiple intelligences, innovative methods so that everyone feels involved and is successful, whatever their level or background.<< Objectives >>Each school already has specific or sustainable actions to fight against waste, to clean up nature, to change consumption habits…. Even if these actions at a school level have effects on the behavior of our pupils and their families, we believe that transnational actions will have a greater impac, they will bring a new dynamic. Also we have a lot to learn from sharing. The logic of our project aims to make children aware of their environment and involve them in the active preservation of nature so that they become responsible European citizens. To achieve our goals, it is necessary to train the whole staff, discuss our teaching methods, develop digital practices, and use innovative methods. This project should be carried out transnationally so that we stay open-minded and to share as many points of view as possible. Children involved in the project will have to interact with their peers using new technologies. In order to open up to others and understand that despite the differences in living conditions and cultures, it is our common responsibility to live together and grow in a peaceful coexistence, in a clean, friendly and preserved natural environment. Cooperation between partners will stimulate the development of basic and transversal skills. Working with associations and local communities will help us achieve our goals, particularly those related to the environment and climate changes. The project's objectives : 1. To develop form an ecological way of thinking, attitudes and responsibilities in environmental protection among students 2. To cooperate between different countries to answer meet the need to meet for environmental protection activities 3. To mobilize ourselves to meet the need for digital development. 4. To actively participate in a democratic society and be aware of being ""European"". 5. To develop creativity, stimulate curiosity and a sense of research by collecting informations related to the environment and climate changes.<< Implementation >>Project activities: 1. Guided tours to discover the ecosystems in each country ; Day trips with the students participating in the project; 2. Discoveries sharing with partners; and comparison of the different environments according to the country; 3. To make reports, tutorials, videos, photos, quizzes, drawings; 4. To set up challenges related to ecology and share the results;<< Results >>Results of all the activities during the project and expected effects: - Long-term changes in behavior for a healthier lifestyle, more respect towards nature and therefore more sustainable attitudes (in within partner schools with the creation of a common charter and in families – To establish concrete common actions, and to agree on a common code of good conduct. With this project we would like to: - make our young students aware of the importance of the ecosystems that surround them, their fragility and the means that help them to regenerate. - enable students, aspiring citizens, to answer the challenges of ecological transition by promoting eco-responsible initiatives and behaviors. - discover with them the keys to sustainable consumption and approach transverse issues, such as waste management, production and transport methods… - involve parents’ associations for an impact on family and intergenerational habits"
