The 2007 economic crisis that hit Europe in 2007, can turn into a cradle for cultural barriers and extremisms and a recruitment place, above all for disoriented young people. Young unemployment is amongst one of the main issues in Italy (29%) and Spain (34%), less in Romania (16%) and in Slovenia (9,7%), emerging European Countries. Italy is the Country with the lowest GDP growth rate (0,9%); Spain succeeded only in recent years to stabilise its growth (2,5%), Slovenia and Romania (4,5% and 7,3%) are experiencing quite high level of GDP growth rates, due to the start of less developed contexts’, on which the impact of the public policies turns out to be greater.At the same time, it is spread out a return to the production pre-industrial ways and the consumption. This process, that revolves around the idea of sustainable development, is having an important role within the agricultural sector and it promoted the renaissance of traditional productive strategies and the rediscovery of raw products that were disappearing. The proliferation of typical products of Slow Food Associations is an example of this process: it is possible to mention Matera’s bread in Basilicata (produced only with durum wheat semolina) and the Caciocavallo Podolico (a cheese that is produced with a high quality milk and with an old traditional technique of the ‘stretched cheese’).Leveraging on the cooperation between European Schools with the aim to allow the students to take part in training processes based on learning-by-doing is the Purpose of “BIO BREAD”, that aims at promoting a learning experience that may make students able to strengthen their sense of multiculturalism and their perception of diversity as a source of growth and innovation and to rediscover the value of agriculture as a community and survival practices that combines different populations.Through the cooperation with Solski Center Novo Mesto, Colegiul Agricolsi de Industrie Alimentara “Vasile Adamachi” and C.P.I.F.P. Hurtado de Mendoza, the coordinating School, Vocational Institute of the services for agriculture and rural development “G. Fortunato”, aims at involving 96 students from III and IV classes , coming from the study fields for Agriculture and Rural Development, Food and Wine and the Marketing of Agricultural Products, in a learning path that will allow them to rediscover the community value of the Agriculture , its importance in terms of economic subsistence and its being common practice between populations, beyond social, cultural and linguistic characteristics.The purpose is to allow to the students beneficiaries to develop entrepreneurial, multicultural and linguistic competences. Each school will start a path based on the traditional agriculture and on the re production of the whole process that goes from wheat to bread. At the same time, it will be centred around a strategy of marketing to be used, hypotetically for the bread that will be produced. 4 international Mobilities that will last for 4 days, will be expected( excluding travel days) in Italy, Romania, Spain and Slovenia. Each single mobility will involve 24 students, about 18 international students and 6 from the Hosting Schools. The Mobilities will be an Exchange of views and common learning on the traditional and biological agricultural and the strategies of marketing, from a multicultural point of view. Following outputs will be realized: An -amateur video that will film the main steps of the process and that will be used as training tool by the involved Schools;-a publication of a kit-tutorial about the recipe of traditional and biological bread;- a publication of a kit tutorial of the created marketing strategies;-the realization by each School, of a final event of bread’s tasting of the bread, where other students, families, other Schools, SlowFood Associations, economic and institutional stakeholders will take part.The project will have a strong and long-lasting impact on the involved students, allowing them to:-specialize in the process of wheat transformation to bread and in the creation of a marketing strategy ;-improve their linguistic competences ;-get the acquisition of a multicultural attitude, of openness and respect of cultural, ethnic, social and religious differences.On the involved schools, The project will also have following expected impacts: -the acquisition of specialized competences of planning and management of international learning programmes;-the improvement of didactic offer, towards the creation of learning programmes based on learning by doing;-the development of a detailed knowledge of e-Twinning, to be used as a tool of improvement and innovation; -a bigger knowledge of the local productive and economic reality related to agriculture.

<< Objectives >>Personal and professional improving of our students and teachers. It is also aimed to contribute, especially to our disadvantaged students, to gain professional self-confidence. - To provide a choice to all kinds of people and institutions that cause herbal waste. - It is aimed to contribute to environmental protection with beneficial recycling and to create a social awareness by drawing attention to climate change. - It is aimed to give our school an international identity.<< Implementation >>This activity includes our Italian partner and our school. Activities such as ice breaking, travel and observation will be organized in order to overcome the communication barriers of our students with individuals from different cultures. Useful recycling practices will be introduced to participating individuals, families and local authorities through slides and presentations. The stages of recycling and its effects on the environment and climate will be practically observed in the field with<< Results >>All participants will have the opportunity to learn about a different culture and different agricultural approaches through the abroad mobility program. They will ensure the development of our participating individuals in terms of foreign language and cultural interaction. We want to observe and increase our students' digital competence and professional development. We want to create the awareness that the biggest factor of environmental and climatic improvement is human.

"The Strategic Partnership ""Slow Flower Movement"" has brought together public schools and private vocational training centers from four European countries (Turkey, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands) in order to examine the various national school-to-work transition (on flower farming) settings in the participating countries and their specific vocational learning approaches. Training of vocational school students on how to adapt Slow Flower Farming to the education project was a development of innovation project through partnership among different organizations as Fatma Aliye Vocational and Technical High School (Turkey), Nordwin College (the Netherlands), IPSASR (Italy) and DEULA (Germany). All these organizations were/are well established and experienced bodies on flower farming issue and school education.The Erasmus+ project was set up to exchange expertise on vocational-based learning and training, and of course to highlight examples of good practice. ObjectivesThe overall objective of the project was:- to train the students on education about the slow flower farming-to improve the VET within the field of sustainable farming with the goal to strengthen the skills of the affected students and give them trainngs that increase their vocational/professional development-to produce a booklet with good examples on slow flowers of the partner countriesAs metodology, the project supposed the sharing of knowledge and competences between students and also teachers belonging to different schools and institutions.In the 2 years of its working time the project managed to complete all the tasks, activities and products the partner consortium agreed on in the early stage of application and submission. The activities started with an extensive Kick-off meeting that took place in Turkey. Following, 6 LTT Activities were carried out. In these LTT activities 60 students and 15 teachers took place and experienced the good practies of the host countries. After each LTT Activity a questionnaire applied to the participants. The activities were accompanied by 3 transnational project meetings where the expertise and ideas were exchanged, the observation of work plan and time schedule monitored as well as the next tasks and respoinsiblities agreed. Finaly a booklet that contains the slow flower of the partner countries has been created. In order to strengthen the VET, the Slow Flower Movement project has produced a booklet with good examples on how to work with sustainable flowers/farming, which is available online and free for anyone to use.The Slow Flower Booklet is this project's one of the main result. The booklet can be found online at http://www.slowflowerproject.com/. In this way the results are available for everybody interested in using the material produced within the project. The main impact of Slow Flower Project is that the professionals (companion teachers) working in the field have gotten new tools and training materials in order to support their students at school to make sustainable choices/decisions. As it has already known the specific context of the project was the agricultural sector. It is obvious tah this is one of the most internationally oriented sector and that is one of the reason why international mobility should be encouraged in a better way in this sector. However, we can only speak from a success when we really manage to validate, recognize and transfer these learning outcomes which are gained in a context abroad. The involvement of students and staff was helped by different online tools as a website and a Instagram/Whatsapp page where students and staff could exchange their feedbacks on the project and their proposals. This network among students and staff also gave them the chance to improve their knowledge of English and to exchange information about job opportunities in Europe in the future. All the partners were involved in every step of the project. However, their role differed, depending the nature of the organisation."

"According to the WHO (World Health Organization), in 2050, 7 out of 10 the world's population will live in big cities. Increasing urbanization brings serious social, economic environmental risks. Lack of awareness of the environmental processes and incompetent dealing with them also applies to countries that have already gone through a period of transition and are among the developed countries. In the light of given information people questions the origins of their food and making informed food choices for decades. The slow food concept (with its hundreds of thousands of members and supporters) has changed our relationship with the foods in our lives.Training of VET learners on how to adapt Slow Food Movement to the education project is a “Exchanges of Good Practices” project through partnership among different organizations as Mezitli Board of Education (Lead Partner), Professional School of Agriculture ""Nikola Pushkarov"" (Bulgaria), Fatma Aliye Vocational and Technical High School (Turkey), Istituto Professionale Servizi per l'Agricoltura e lo Sviluppo Rurale"" G.Fortunato"" (Italy) and DEULA (Germany). All these organizations are well established and experienced bodies on food centered fields and agriculture issue and school education. The overall objective of the project is to train the students on education about the slow and sustaibnable food applications.The project foresees the sharing of competences and knowledge between the students and teachers belonging to different organisations. More precisely, the German partner Deula will make available its knowledge organising a training session. During the training session Slow Food Farming will be taught by German instructor, students from partner organisations will improve their knowledge and will be provided with an unexpected and innovative point of view on their professional career. On the other hand the other partner organisations will hosts other schools’ students and teachers to make them know how the Slow Food issues work in their schools, regions and countries, also exploring how Slow Food Movement could be applied to this sector.The Slow Food Movement project will improve the capacities of partner organisations to gain experience on from field to fork process of plenty of slow foods. The project connects public and private actors from different European cities to promote the ‘slow food’ concept.The expected results are listed according to areas of activities carried out. For example concerning the courses/trainings (LTT) on Slow Food Movement (SFM) and the final completion the expected results are the following:-A new way to learn processing differend kind of foods-A new attractiveness of the VET schools-New competences and skills for the students that will learn the utilization of Slow Foods before their friends that will learn this subject only at university-A consequent attractiveness of these students coming out from schools with strong skills and competences for enterprises and in general for the job market.-The creation of a network between students and the possibility confront themselves with foreign friends with consequent result of an equal European competitiveness in the job market.A total of 36 students and 9 teachers will benefit from the project with a total of 4 LTT activities. We are going to organise transnational project meetings. Cooperation and communication will be central to the success of our transnational project meetings. In these meetings we are going to show how all partners will communicate, how we will work together on activities, and how we will communicate with other important stakeholders, who should be identified as far as possible. Planned transnatıonal meetings are:-1st Kick-off meeting (November 2020 at Mersin-Turkey)-2nd meeting (April 2021, before the interim report in Neinburg-Germany)-3rd meeting (September 2021, before the final report at Potenza-Italy)The project aims at reaching as widely as possible the targeted sectors of academia and school communities as well as the wider Life Long Learning (LLL) sector promoting project ideas, educational resources, pedagogical principles and concepts, developed courses and other outcomes maximizing the impact of the project work plan activities. Towards achieving these goals, the following activities are foreseen:1. BUILDING OF PROJECT WEBSITE2. LEAFLETS AND BI-ANNUAL ONLINE NEWSLETTERS3. FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM PAGE 4. LOGO5. CONTACTING PROFESSIONAL BODIES, POLICY MAKERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES6. USE OF ERASMUS+ DISSEMINATION PLATFORM7. PRINTED RAISING AWARENESS DOCUMENTS8. PRESS RELEASES9. ETWINNING INVOLVEMENT AND PROJECTS10. LOCAL EVENTS"
