To these persons will be added students and teachers of the host school and stakeholders, local authorities and students’ families. Therefore, totally 200-300 persons will take part in every meeting The common element of the partners joined in the project is given by the presence in each school at least of one technological Lab and Internet connection that, symbolizes integration and inclusion, and attitude to communication and need to know and learn.Participants will have the following characteristics:Headmasters, teachers who take on a strategic role,to allow a relapse of the benefits of experience in training, student and relations with the local community students, attending the high school 4th classes or lower, highly motivated, acting as mentors to their peers and organize forums, self-managed debate else through the conscious use of social networks5 mobility of 2 different kinds have been planned, 1 in each partner country: the first that involves 1 teacher and 4 students of each partner; the second concerns the school staff, involving 2 persons of each schoolThe activities that will be held during meetings will be of different types. Some of these, such as cultural visits and meetings will be directed to all participants; others will be specific to the type of participants. In particular, teachers will interested into activities related to knowledge of the national school system, and knowledge of methodology used in each school. During meetings the progress of the work will be review and next goals will be defined. Students will show the results achieved until then.Learning by doing methodology will be used to engage in the best possible way both students and teachers. Collaborative working platforms will be widely used; in particular eTwinning platform to ensure that students and teachers can collaborate in the creation of the final products that the project plansOnline training methodology will be used to develop, in working groups, the attitude needed to work strategically, involving students in situations different from the daily ones, forcing them to think and act out from normal mental and behavioral patterns.The expected results are the creation of a website with the publication of the work carried out, specific brochures relating to the subject matter as well as other material that can be used later in the course of lectures to be held in each school.Students develop artistic cultural knowledge about other Nations, but above all they will know other social contexts, most of them strangers, often whitout the opportunity to travel.The aim is that, at the end of the project, students, through the knowledge of different life styles, different schools, different environmental contexts of their peers, become aware of the European dimension, as real opportunity at relational, occupational and training level.For teachers, the biggest impact will be the acquisition of different teaching methodologies and professional maturity obtained by contrastive analysis of different types of school systemsThe project experience should be capitalized within the school,encouraging the internationalization of the school by:•redefining teaching methods•using of the English language as a strategic tool to facilitate the access to the labour market•testing of continuous exchange of know-how with other European institutes•Creation of a figure of coordination within the educational institutionLonger term benefits are the experiences gained by the students about knowledge of other social contexts that will represent a resource that will be useful to them during their lifetime.For teachers, it will be a chance to put within their own schools different methodologies improving their didactic strategies and procedures.

Project key concept is the bridge, communication means to link places otherwise isolated, but also symbol of union and connection between persons, races, peoples.

"First it should be noted that the Liceo ""Basile"" of Palermo has declined to participate in the project following approval. This resulted in the inability to conduct expected mobility to Palermo. For this reason the project coordinator, the IISS Archimede, given the unavailability or inability of other schools to accommodate a mobility, has agreed to organize in Taranto 2 mobility, in order to guarantee the predifined standards . Context/background For those cities that have to make the sea a vital resource from every point of view, touristic, economic, etc it is essential that new generations become aware of that, it was decided therefore to carry out a project that would develop skills and consciousness about the importance of the marine resource in their livesObjectivesThis project is part of school curricula since you can't ignore STEM disciplines. We have attempted to highlight the importance of the sea in their daily lives to bring students to the scientific disciplines and increase their interest through new methods of study, trying to create a harmonious relationship with nature. A further really important goal is to provide opportunities for students to realize a sort of international cooperation, open their horizons with an international partnership and promote peer learning among students and teachers from different Nations Profiles of the partners Italy-Taranto - The name of the school is I.I.S.S. “Archimede” and it joins two kinds of school: a vocational school in Taranto whose main subjects are mechanical, electrics, naval and fashion and a Technical Institute, named “Falanto” in a Taranto suburb area named Talsano, whose main subjects are: computer technology, electronics and telecommunications. It is a public school with about 750 students.Croatia - The Croatian school is Secondary school Antun Matijašević Karmaneo Vis (Croatia). It is a Vocational (cooks, waiters, receptionists, economists) and Grammar school. There are 87 students aged 15 to 18 and 26 teachers. The main orientation of the school is tourism. Latvia - Ogre State Gymnasium provides four educational programmes: Musical, Humanities, Maths and Technology and General Secondary. There are more than 400 students and 40 teachers in the school. The school serves as a center of methodology for regional schools, which means that different contests, olympics, courses, seminars and workshops, both for teachers and for students are held in the school.Turkey - RAMAZAN ATIL ANADOLU LISESI - Adana is a public Secondary school with students aged 14-18. The school is located ın Adana, Çukurova region. The school consists of an educational building with the capacity of 690 students and 20 classrooms. The students take part in many cultural and sports activities.The main activities of the project: getting data through questionnaires, experiences in school, organisation and participation in workshops, brochures and other material, photographic exhibitions open to the territory, in some cases, use of CLIL methodology, use of computer and scientific instruments.The following activities have been developped: the project logo, a website, questionnaires, booklets, calendars, videos, maps, virtual albums, posters, a multilanguage glossary with terms related to the sea.It got an increased interest in scientific studies. We tried to obtain a different better students' attitude towards nature, to safeguard it for the future and to learn strategies, as peer learning. To stimulate a major interest of students we have also used innovative teaching techniques to develop research and evaluation skills. The project tried to develop, referring to the specific design theme, the awareness of the importance of our seas in daily life, even by virtue of local and global opportunities it can provide. In general terms, however, the project sought to provide participants with a greater awareness of the possibilities that exist to study and work in other European countries and also the importance of knowledge of one or more languages for a better communication. It was highlighted the concept of European citizenship. The long term benefits of this project will be precisely those of having transmitted to students, in particular, but also to teachers the idea of European citizenship that Erasmus projects also promote through mobility allowing to know social contexts that many students would be unable to meet by themselves."
