"The project ""Social Inclusion Through Environment"" was founded after teachers in partner's schools realised the need for their pupils to be better concerned by two main issues - social inclusion and environmental awareness. For a few years, our schools have woken up to pupils with learning difficulties and fewer opportunities as well as the arrival of migrants all over Europe. Moreover, the environmental awareness is not enough pronounced in our daily lives even if this topic is part of the European educational programs. As a consequence, all European pupils and teachers have to face the same situations. We noticed that our four schools could do better to improve today's situation by suggesting innovative actions.The objectives of the project are mainly:- teach our pupils how to be more tolerant and more united in the differences,- learn new innovative methods and good practices of social inclusion,- discover new possibilities of environmental protection,- help our pupils better understand European citizenship,- make European citizens with knowledge and skills needed,- communicate in English,- improve digital skills by using ICT methods.The project will be undertaken for two years with the four partner countries Denmark, Germany, France and France and will include two mobilities per year including between 8 and 11 pupils (aged 14 to 18) and two teachers of each school. The four schools are all different, but want to achieve the same goals. It is precisely the diversity of the two types of school that offers a great opportunity, as the younger pupils can learn from the older pupils and vice versa the older pupils can benefit from the new ideas of the younger students. From the experience of past projects between the schools, this aspect in particular has become apparent. In order to do this, we will organise several and different activities in each country. In Germany, the participants will learn how to use the ""Day of Integration"" as an opportunity to promote social integration through languages. They also will get an insight in the German extensive recycling principle inside and outside the school. In France, we will set up a workshop to write our international charter in which pupils and teachers will undertake actions to preserve environment. We want to show partner countries how to link inclusion and protection of environment by visiting a bike centre which works also in partnership with a organisation whose purpose is professional inclusion of migrants. Denmark will focus on the inclusion of many different people including immigrants but also the elderly. Furthermore, here is the focus on young people's involvement on making changes. Slovenia will insist on increasing participants awareness towards social issues, such as including immigrants, foreigners and also people with special needs. They will develop pupils' sense of initiative by exploring our impact on the planet and organising events, where pupils will exchange their no longer used clothes and other accessories.The role of project work will be an essential element: Through the carrying out of activities, the pupils will both learn and work together but also have fun. The first step will be an analysis of our areas which can be more immersive and engaging in inclusion and environment in our schools. Local surveys made by each partner will also help us to analyse and compare statistics. We will use the expertise from each school and external partners and share it with communities and regions. Moreover, workshops will be organised in every mobility. At last, so that the results can be disseminated, we will collect, compile and share information on the TwinSpace platform.Furthermore, headmasters, teachers and pupils will disseminate the results when having meetings with other partners. All of them will make sure that during the project and especially after the project, the results will be shared to other interested and local organisations. After the project, it will be the responsibility for each school to make sure that the benefits will remain visible and usable to pupils and teachers.To ensure that project materials are easily accessed and utilized, the project will be promoted and advertise via regular links to the community through social media, newsletter emails, host school seminars and final presentations. Staff from our schools will be invited to professional development events. The project will be further promoted through national education websites, blogs and TwinSpace.Moreover, as all the work will be done in English, it will give pupils the opportunity to develop their abilities in speaking this language which is the most important to communicate in Europe.We hope that all the activities set up during the project will last and will lead to the carrying out of other actions in the field of inclusion and environmental protection."

I can, you can, we can do much more (a 2-year project)A positive working and learning environment is not something that a school or any other organisation gets by itself. They have to be encouraged and guided since researches show they are consequently affected with student’s school success, motivation, they encourage new teaching ideas, goals, common values and participation. Beside good organisation and leadership, each school needs its common vison, school policy and clear guidelines on how to reach a positive school environment.The project partner schools (Naklo Primary School from Slovenia as the leading coordinator, Scuola secondaria di1 grado Padre Pio Altamura from Italy, Siauliu logopedine mokykla from Lithuania, Yumrukaya Ozel Egitim Uygulama Merkezi from Turkey and Ljubljana school for the deaf) had similar conclusions about the educational undertakings. Most often problems in a school’s environment are dealt with sporadically, sometimes with confusion and feeling of powerlessness, thus leading us to a vision to prepare an efficient model of a preventive programme which will make teachers, as well as students, aware of positive skills and positive ways of thinking. We were certain that a well-planned, organised, and properly supported educational model could lessen the unwanted students’ behaviour and that by internalising certain concepts and skills we can reach a very positive atmosphere.The overall objective of the project partnership, called I can, you can, we can do much more, was to prepare a clear and manageable document with a preventive programme, that each school could use to enforce a positive school environment. We carried out a connection of different experiences of schools from partnership countries and their school policies as well as exploited precious experience to effectively solve problems that we all have in common and we designed a model of a preventive programme that is applicable to different school systems and cultures. In this preventive programme, we are stressing the importance of establishing a positive school, based on guidelines of positive psychology and the idea of ensuring the well-being of teachers as well as students that originates from the need to be satisfied with the school. We gathered methods and strategies of educational interaction related to teaching itself, we also suggested internalising positive skills and basic values, described praising, the importance of student’s motoric abilities, and supporting community (parents and local community), we suggested how to implement that in 50 steps and how to evaluate (examples of short evaluations and questionnaires for students, teachers, and parents). We also provided answers to frequently asked questions.Our partnership also prepared a collection of examples of good practices, supported by videos. During this two-year project, all five schools gathered, tested, developed, and disseminated experiences, good practices, and knowledge about different methods, actions, and models of upbringing or preventive programme. We were also concentrated on children with special needs, meaning that we prepared appropriate activities and adaptations to their needs. In this time, a lot happened in our schools – we started to create a better school environment and feedback gave us power to work on and to spread the idea that really works.

"In 2019, the EU drew up proposals for a ""Green Agreement for Europe"". In order to secure measures of a sustainable EU economy, citizens can be educated regardless of age, as reflected in the project's name and its impact. The theme: Climate change and environmental problems was announced on eTwinning. The eTwinning project, which is in the Circular Economy Concept, which is suitable for a sustainability perspective, takes the example from nature.The theme for 2020: Climate change and environmental problems was announced on eTwinning. The project uses eTwinning, based on the Circular Economy Concept, which is a new perspective on sustainability and is based on nature approach.Slovenia is a beautiful country, connected with the Czech Republic historically. Both nations have need for cooperation and communication for ""Green Europe"". Environmental education is realized at both schools as it is one of their priorities and has also become an incentive for partnership.The long-term goal of the EPR partners is a modern European school open to innovation in the European area, focusing on environmental and multicultural education through the use of activating teaching methods (eTwinning, EPALE, etc.).Both schools are facultative, guaranteeing the practice of university students in the CZ as well as in Slovenia, each partner uses a different activating teaching methods in the project.The aim of the joint project is to mutually optimize environmental education for “Green Europe”, promote the EU's linguistic diversity and intercultural awareness.The aim of the project is not to create a case study of environmental education, but above all to learn together and motivate each other to use activating teaching methods and forms of work in various environments. To verify their application in international conditions, not only through the mobility of employees (10 workers of different professions) and pupils (16 pupils of the 3rd to 9th grade) from each school, but also indirectly involved participants (about 500, teachers, pupils from all grades, students in practice, parents and representatives of the general public), especially in the impact of dissemination events. Transnationally eTwinning, Epale and ERASMUS + platform.Partial goals:improving professional and language competences, including ICT, integrating newly acquired learning methods and forms into subjects, improving foreign language learning and teaching, developing managerial competencies, developing creative and critical thinking.Participants will receive an Euopass mobility and language passport.The project ""Journey to Green Europe"" was created at the Arménská Elementary School in Brno in cooperation with teachers, members of the Czech-Slovenian Society and the University of Ljubljana, who contacted the partner organization of the Naklo elementary school in Slovenia. The basic idea is to get to know each other, share information, experience, make friends and build collaborative activities between the staff and pupils of both partner schools, at first in a secure virtual learning environment like the TwinSpace in the eTwinning project. Here, workers and students can prepare activities for each other and subsequently evaluate environmental education during mobility while learning communication (including foreign languages) and ICT skills.The perspective of the circular economy will be applied to the results of the successful project ""Edible School Garden"" of the primary school in Arménská Elementary School in Brno. In experiential learning, participants in the activities of international mixed groups will further develop it and utilize it wherever possible by carrying out virtual and practical mobility activities. To further deepen the understanding of the principles of cycling and conditions in nature, teams, virtually and in different environments for environmental education in nature, will implement activating teaching methods, observation and experimentation.In order to achieve the objectives, mobilities will be main source of exchange of practical experience. Employee will join short-term joint trainings and pupils short-term exchanges, twice in the partner country and always for 6 days. Based on experience, a model for the Slovenian elementary school Naklo will be created as well.The project will be multilingual. Participants will teach and learn in English and practice the basics of the partner's language.At the meetings (10 times) and on the school website, participants will share their experiences with other staff and students through four movies, which will be created. With pupils and students from local schools, parents and the general public project will be presented at four meetings and four times in the press, internationally at eTwinning and EPALE.The output of the project will be transfer of experiences and international school cooperation in the environmental education didactics based on ""Green Agreement for Europe"" strategy."
