"MAIN GOAL: To build a common cultural and scientific project by producing, in a transnational setting some films and, as a final product, a science fiction short movie and by reflecting on the relationship between Animals and Human Beings in European culture yesterday, today and tomorrow. We'll start from the myth of Noah's Ark and the current debates on the protection of biodiversity.HOW TO DO IT ? Thanks to field surveys, remote exchanges and meetings, students from four secondary schools can work together to produce works of scientific, philosophical and cultural interest.EXPECTED RESULTS: Valorizing all students and empowering them through a peer-to-peer learning strategy, implementing a more rewarding and objective learning assessment for learners, and teachers, developing the computer skills of students and staff, and their familiarity with IST, and strengthening the key competences identified by the European Union.OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Conducting geographic, historical, biological and scientific field surveys on wildlife, human activities related to it or traditions concerning it ; Production of videos as reports ; Multilateral Meetings ; Writing and making films by editing ""rushes""Study of the myth of the Noah's Ark, its precursors and its rewritingsStudy of the unity of lifeComparative Studies of Agricultural Practices, Reserves and ZoosInquiries and debate on empathy and sensitivity, dietCross ReadingPreparation of a DVD to account for the final product and to disseminate a method / instead of this disk: we prefer let the contents online in a dedicated website http://erasmusplusanimals.franceserv.eu/ in order to repect a good practice (relevant to a sustainable development) but people can ask us for a DVD if they preferTHREAD: - A methodology based on video tools (no partner is a specialist, we still have a little experience). - The myth of Noah's ark: a legend (studied in year 1) that does not correspond to the current requirements of species conservation: rejection of fixism, concept of biodiversity, modalities of preservation against contemporary extinctions (year 2) . The name of a space ship carrying a European expedition to an exoplanet? (Year 3) ACTIVITIES:1 °) Four study travels allowing exchanges and concrete productions in a transnational framework, mainly:C1 and C2 the production of short documentary films (reports of field surveys)C3 the publication of a Charter of the City of Human Beings and AnimalsC4 the production of a script and a flowchart in order to shoot a science fiction short film2 °) A C5 virtual exchange supplemented by a summer internshipin order to implement the movie making (by French students, behind and in front of the camera) then its postproduction by all the partners3 °) Remote activities (shared thanks to various tools: on eTwinning: the ""FORUM N + C"", but also the blog: http://erasmusplusanimals.blogspot.com/ and a Facebook group) and local support workshops or even bilateral workshops (in the case of the Franco-Romanian exchange C01)FIRST IMPACTS:- A first consensus emerges, both among teachers and among learners, to note the following improvements:progress in language skills and the ability to work in a teamimprovement of student autonomy (self esteem and and sense of responsibility)greater mastery of digital and video toolsacquisition of knowledge: historical, scientific, etc.participation in an enriching debate on civilization within the democratic framework of the European Union- The teachers are particularly satisfied with the quality of the personal investment of the participants, adults and / or students (who have forged lasting links, both across borders and within national teams) and that of the final achievement (this commitment will be validated by a Youth Pass). The film (""THE ARK"") owes a lot to the mobilization of students to overcome the difficulties linked to the pandemic, COVID19 having called into question the work plan adopted during C4 mobility. French high school students invested in a summer internship to successfully shoot images in June 2020, modifying the casting originally planned and taking care of technical aspects initially devolved to others, but their partners took their part, in particular in the post-production of the film (as part of remote workshops held in December 2020)"

"Holidays are anticipated and emotion-filled moments in the lives of children and adults. Every holiday is being prepared carefully and for a long time. It brings a positive emotion that mobilizes everyone for its realization. That is one of the reasons why we chose to work on ""Interactive holiday calendar in Europe"" The topics to be addressed by this project are connected with the different holidays, characterizing each partner country and the similarities and differences in their peculiarity, specificity and events. The problems to be discussed are connected with the identity of each country and its overall expression in the big European family. The project aims to help us avoid racial, ethnic and religious discrimination by understanding the lifestyle and traditions of all participating in the project countries. The project will be realized by elaborating and studying the holidays, the traditions of each partner organization, and the holidays will be considered on a seasonal basis. Activities to be done:1. To make an interactive calendar of the traditional holidays in Europe by classifying them into common traditional holidays and Seasonal holidays2. To familiarize everyone with the festive calendars of partner countries.3. To find the similarities and differences between the common holidays that unite us into a common family.4.To Make DVDs to illustrate the festive systems of the countries involved in the project.5.To create Project Recipe book which to contain recipes representing local/national cuisine of each of the participating in the project countries.6. To create Multi Media Phrase book containing common phrases related to traditional holidays and customs in the languages off all the participating countries and in English.7. To create a booklet with pictures representing national costumes and attributes used during traditional holidays in each country drawn by the students.8.To publish a newspaper presenting information for all the activities throughout the entire project.9.The following topics will be discussed during the project meetings Traditions. Holidays and customsCalendars and Holidays Traditions and ValuesTraditional folk cultureCurious rituals and customsHow public holidays and traditions affect pupils' educationThe end result will be to get to know each of the partner organizations through the most anticipated moments of all - the holidays. By getting to know the country's holidays, we can easily perceive everyone, understanding some of the features in their lifestyle, tradition, culture. Knowing the common and equal holidays of the partners will make us feel like a big family celebrating together.The target groups of this projects are students /aged 10-16/, teachers, parents and the local communities. All activities in the project will have direct involvement of pupils, both in gathering information, planning and preparing products, communicating with pupils from partner institutions and in presenting their findings to all members of the partnership.Throughout the project all pupils will be encouraged to evaluate the activities and provide feedback about their own and others contributions. Questionnaires will be designed for evaluating the project activities. Students will take part in project forums during which they will answer questions about the project activities and their own personal learning. We believe that by involving students in the project we let them make not only friends for life but also teach them tolerance, respect towards other cultures and nations, faith in their own possibilities. And that it allows eliminate aggression and violence from our communities. Engaging pupils in different forms of learning can prevent students from alienation, fight xenophobia, teach openness to new cultures and let them know about new lifestyles, languages.Teachers and parents will also be active participants in the project because they will be involved in all stages of its realization. They will also have the opportunity to learn about different holiday calendars, which will have a unifying function for the entire institution and the project implementation. We hope that it will enable us to cooperate in various fields and help to exchange our experience. We will take part in activities which can help us quickly and easily accept the different cultures and traditions and by knowing them to unite them with the help of the final products. Teachers will share good practices among Europe concerning school management, cultural issues and national traditions. All these could help teachers, students, parents and local public to be aware of the differences and improve the way of work. Families and representatives of the local community can attend the numerous events that we plan to organize in each school in order to promote and benefit from the project."

The integration of the disabled students, aims to prevent prejudices, overcome biological, social, cultural, linguistic disadvantages and remove the mental barriers that truly limit the social life of all the individuals.Our project has been inspired by the belief that drama is an extraordinary device for growth, as pedagogy and drama are always strictly related. Both of them focus on humans and try to unveil their complexity and their multiple forms of being in the world.The drama experience aims to let the differences between groups come out and enhance its value as a source of enrichment for the group itself.The Objectives of this project are:-overcome the idea of integration between disabled children and children without disabilities to get to a broader idea of interaction between people each of them with their own diversities and multiple ways of being in the world;- Exploring new opportunities related to one’s individuality and to one’s own way of staying with others;- Knowing the dynamics that determine the behavior in a small group;- Developing forms of communication related to interaction, reciprocity and participation;- Developing active listening and the ability to elaborate emotional contents in body movements;- Exploring the emotional contents through the “circular” interaction of the body signs with sound and musical signs and with the voice. The project involves teachers and school students primary school and secondary level , from 6 partners countries. : Italy, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Portugal and Italy. Partners will take care of the production and dissemination of information materials. E-mails and materials will be exchanged between students and teachers from the various countries. There will are 6 mobility of project. Thanks to the project mobility, teachers, headteachers and students will visit foreign schools. From a purely didactic point of view, we will make a monthly magazine where students will tell the events of their school, a CD with all the activities carried out over the two years, a virtual “Log book” with photos, a film with the ITC (Movie maker). We will also organize theatre performances and a final Event ( where will be showed the films made) and an exhibition of all the work done. The methods used will be : learning by doing, cooperative learning, peer to peer, peer tutoring.We intend to use a set of methods which include improvisation techniques, the analytical methods of perception/observation of oneself and the others, the physical and vocal training, the active imagination joined to classical therapeutic methods. These methods aim to better understand children’ emotional system, overcome the automatisms of gesture, awake the inner rhythm and the strength of voice and take possession of the movement in relation to space.The envisaged results:- Promoting equal opportunities by integrating children, including, above all, children with disabilities;- developing basic skills and expertise;- developing and strengthen the intercultural education and its contribution to social integration promoting the “European citizenship”; - using the information technology for a wider purpose; - developing a sense of belonging to the European community based on the understanding and the respect for other people and their culture;- promote teamwork;- develop problem solving skills, feedback;- strengthen their cultural and linguistic identity.The above programs aim to strengthen the learning profile of all participants through the production and co-modulation of educational, learning and social actions / practices.Students who participate in the project will be aged between 7 and 13, they will be selected to benefit from them on different levels. Since the groups of pupils will be heterogeneous, each school will contribute by sharing the results of the proposed activities with their experience and creativity. All teachers involved in the project are highly motivated and competent.It will be important for students to communicate through writing, listening, speaking and reading. They will communicate via: Skype, eTwinning, e-mail, will share documents with Drive Google, etc ..., in this way they will enrich their skills in L2, and in ICT.The basic objective is work successfully together in the chosen activities and make students understand that language, age, handicap, social disadvantage and different training/educational needs are not an obstacle to cooperate and grow together as European citizens.

In the 21st century, the use of technology and being online are a way of life. That is why, being good digital citizens and coaching students to model good digital citizenship and safe online behavior takes on greater importance. The Internet is becoming a primary hub for everything from communication and education to commerce and social networking. For each of these venues, we must strive to agree upon consistent values and limitations which will prevent people from being exposed to content such as extreme violence, pornography, gambling, or illegal downloads. As we move forward into an era driven by the capacities of online media, the issue of access must be addressed. This is the world we live in. We need to be ready for it - that’s why digital readiness isn’t just about deciding when or when your child shouldn’t have access to smart devices. It’s about how and when you to teach them to protect themselves long after you lay down the parental controls. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage. The purpose of this project is to equip the technology users with vital skills to survive in the digital world.In order to develop digital literacy, the following topics will be studied during the project; - Information Literacy - Communication Literacy - Visual Literacy - Social Literacy - Technology Literacy - Media Literacy The project's objectives are; -develop digital literacy skills of the participants -develop a strategy for using skills in information literacy over an extended period of time; -teach students about both the benefits and risks of the online world and help students stay safer there -monitor progress and adapt strategy as necessary, to achieve the quality of outcomes required. -evaluate overall strategy and present outcomes from your work, including citations and a bibliography. -become a confident “Digital Citizenship Champion” in their community. -recognise where there is a knowledge or information ‘gap’, and identify what type of information you need to fill it. There are partners from Turkey,Bulgaria,Greece,Poland,Portugal and England. There will be 6 transnational project meetings in our 2-year project.The project staff will attend those meetings.The first transnational meeting is designed as the kick-off meeting in Turkey.(October,2017)In this meeting we will follow the definition of the base elements of ourproject and other project planning activities. This meeting will introduce the members of the project team and provide the opportunity to discuss the role of team members again.The second transnational project meeting will be in Bulgaria which will be mainly on ''Exploitation''.(April,2018)The third transnational project meeting will be in Portugal to discuss how to raise the visibility of the project.(June,2018).The fourth transnational project meeting will be in Poland to prepare a dissemination plan altogether.(October,2018) The fifth transnational project meeting will be in April,2019 in England to find some ways to ensure that project deliverables remain available in the foreseeable future(sustainability of the project).The final transnational project meeting will be in Greece in June,2019 to evaluate all the project activities(Evaluation).We hope that this project will be able to contribute to the awareness towards the importance of digital literacy. The outputs of the project will be accesible for everyone through the website and also in a ready to use form distributed by coordinator We will also send mails and other communication towards schools and regional authorities. Since the outputs will be in English the language barrier might be a problem, but on the website we will provide translations in all the project partners languages. Afterwards users form other countires will be able to add their own mothertongue.
