Context The project ,,A shool for future,, is an exchange of good practices among schools, whose goal is to reduce absenteeism and school dropout from 10% to 5 % during two school years, this being closely related to EU goals.ObjetivesThe objectives were designed in cooperation with partner schools:O1- to involve, during the project, 200 students(aged 11-15) with school dropout tendencies in extra-curricular activities to prevent and combat school dropout and absenteeism, to develop students`language skills, critical and creative thinking;O2- to reduce functional illiteracy, among students, with 30%-40 % through specific activities;O3- to involve students with school dropout tendencies in activities whose purpose is to understand the importance of completion of school education, through workshops, meetings with members of the local labor office, representatives of the local community, former school pupils.ParticipantsThere are five countries involved in the project:Romania-coordinator,Turkey,Greece, Bulgaria and Poprtugal-partners. The partners were selected on the basis of their interested on the topic and through eTwinnig platform. The target group consists of 300 students, aged 11-15, in all 5 schools, students of diffrent ethnicity( Romani,Armenians,Russian) and who come from families of moderate income, divorced families, which leads to low school results, absenteeism and school dropout.From the target group, 20 students and 11 teachers will be involved in mobilities. The partcipating teachers have different specializations and they will coordinate students`activities.ActivitiesThe proposed activities to achieve the objectives are varied and designed according to the compulsory and extra-curricular curriculum:M1-Romania-October 2018-coordinator meeting(planning);C1-Bulgaria-March 2019-Robotics clubC2-Greece-October 2019-,,Learn for us, integrate us in EU,,C3-Romania-December 2019-,,The little craftsmen,,C4-Turkey-April 2020-,, Aviation club,,C5-Portugal-May 2020-,,The Puppetters,,M2- Romania- July 2020-coordinating meeting(evaluation and sustainability)ImpactAs a result of the project, will be created and used the website, Facebook page, the project journal, CDs, evaluation documents and dissemination materials. The impact will be observable at the level of:1)students- improving school results, reducing absenteeism and school dropout;2)teachers-improving communication skills, leadership of teaching activity and its development, diversifying teaching strategies;3) institutions-improving of human resources, group cohesion;4) local and regional level- it will give the students the possibility of continuing the theoretical and / or vocational studies, increasing the chances of integrating into society and the labor market, to improve mentality and to perpetuate it from generation to generation, maintaining the school population and increasing the prestige of the school.MethodologyThe project has five stages: management, implementation, creation of activities, materials and lessons, dissemination and sustainability. As coordinator, Romania will monitor implementation and dissemination of activities, evaluation of activities and the impact based on the data collected from partners. Project management will be carried out by the person designated for this purpose, by the contact person together with the headteacher and the accountant. They will identify resources (human and material),they will monitor the compliance with deadlines and the realization of activities. There will be two management meetings, both in Romania.

The main objective of our project entitled “Maths Around Us” is to improve through Maths the students key competences according to the strategic framework ET 2020 to rise PISA results in all the countries and building their European identity through cultural heritage. This project is for students between 12-16 years old who are eager to take part in a science adventure in international company. The project is structured in six stages and for each stage one school will be responsible but all will be involved in similar activities at their own schools and the same activities during the mutual school visits to respond to the 3 priorities mentioned in the project: high quality skills and competences, building a sense of European citizenship and social inclusion.The key theme linking all six partners is Mathematics regarded as the Queen of science. The project is going to match Maths, using English language and ICT. The main objective is to improve the students' math competence by solving tasks in a Project Based learning approach, a less academic environment developing critical thinking, creativity and innovation and by perceiving Math issues in our students’ surrounding world, by encouraging them to try their best to participate actively, by finding similarities and differences between different environments of the six participating schools. Maths results and internationalization of all the involved schools are expected to improve as a result of the project. English, the language of the project, makes students more aware of the importance of learning foreign languages and develops their language competence. Students are going to find out and learn about history, monuments, unique nature or games which are associated with the project countries because maths is around us in every aspect of our life. So students will work on the project for two years working on the project step by step. Some of them will be guests and will take part in activities prepared by the host schools and then after coming back home will share their experiences with their peers and some of the students will work on activities at their own school. Teachers from six different countries in Europe will have the opportunity to exchange opinions and experiences, to observe different methods of teaching for two years and trying new strategies. By taking part in these activities pupils will develop their social and cooperative skills communicating and coping with the tasks in international teams, fostering autonomous learning and critical thinking. Working via internet in a safe environment, provided by eTwinning, developing their digital competence in a STEAM approach (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics).The project allows some students coming from disadvanteageous families with economic problems who cannot afford to go abroad to be able to take part in European mobilities enabling them to develop active citizenship skills and knowledge of Europe in equal opportunities. It is obvious that getting the grant will impact and benefit clearly the partners in terms of internationalization of the schools in their own communities as an added value for them and in terms of high quality skills and competences of the whole learning and teaching community giving the participants equal opportunities. Finally, if awarded with the grant, our project can be published in Erasmus platform and might help potential Erasmus applicants.

"Context: With Greta Thunberg`s launching of the “Fridays for future” movement she has succeeded in creating a global attitudinal shift, transforming millions of vague, middle-of-the-night anxieties into a worldwide movement calling for urgent change. Being a teenager, she especially appealed to the youth since it’s them who will face the worst effects. Using this enormous global spotlight our aim is to address the climate crisis. Without environmental action, the future of our planet would be doubtful. The more citizens do something to contribute to conservation and protecting the environment, the more resilient the natural environment will be for future generations. Informed, targeted action is a key component of education for a sustainable future.Objectives:•To promote environmental education amongst students and instil values, knowledge and skills, which lead to positive behavioural changes that support the school and the environment. •To instil values of positive behaviour and sense of responsibility among all students in accordance with sound environmental practices. •To encourage all students to actively participate in their schools’ environmental activities and promote their own initiatives. •To educate students about environment and global environmental issues. •To promote students’ attitudes towards greening their school through environmental initiatives. •To encourage schools to invest time and effort in creative environmental initiatives.Number and profile of participants:We attempt to adopt a whole-school approach to climate action in our project. In this approach, students’ classroom learning about climate change is reinforced by the formal and informal messages promoted by the school’s values and actions. In other words, students and other members of the school community live what they learn, and learn what they live. It means that we include action for reducing climate change in every aspect of school life. This includes school governance, teaching content and methodology, campus and facilities management as well as cooperation with partners and the broader communities. We consider that the active involvement of all internal and external school stakeholders, namely students, teachers, principals, school staff at all levels and the wider school community such as families and community members in reflecting and acting on climate change is key to a successful implementation of the whole-school approach.Although the number of students and teachers actively travelling and taking part in the mobilities will be of course much smaller due to the restrictions of the budget.Description:During our project we will adequately educate students about-Reasons for climate change in general-How has global climate change affected the countries of our project partners (Latvia, Portugal, France, Turkey and Germany)-What has been done so far to mitigate it in the respective countries-What individual action can be done to reduce emissionsIn terms of the individual action we identified the following five ways of decreasing the carbon footprint as the most effective ones and the most related to the daily life of our students. C1- Dec 20 DE Optimise your diet- Food waste & other ways of reducing carbon footprint C2- Apr 21 FR Plastic- ain’t our-bagC3- Oct 21 PT The buzz on e-waste: technology, waste, and the environmentC4- Jan 22 TR Shop smart- The fashion industry and climate changeC5- April 22 LV Ready, set, sow- gardening for climate changeMethodology:Our approach is twofold: In a first step students will learn about factors that drive climate change and the vulnerability profile of their own country and their partners’ ones. They will also learn about key approaches and technologies, to adapt to the impacts of climate change and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasesIn a second step after identifying a focus issue and learning about the current situation in their green space it is important to enable students to follow through to act on their ideas, in order to make a real difference for our native plants and animals. Consequently, in every single topic mentioned above they will participate in hands-on activities.Results and impact:- 1 website- 1 Facebook page- 1 e-Twinning project space- 1 set of initial and final questionnaires/tests- 5 workshops during the learning, teaching and training activities (LTTAs)- 3 e-books (Cook yourself green- a recipe book/ How to give up plastic: tips and advice for an eco-friendly household/ DIY- how to upcycle)- 1 calendar (containing tips to a planet-friendly gardening)- various charity events (bazaars, markets, repair events,...)- 1 exhibition ""Fashion & climate change""- 100 certificates of attendance- 100 EuropassOur project will help students understand and address the impact of global warming, increase “climate literacy” among young people, and encourage changes in their attitudes and behaviour."
