This project was centered around teaching basic employability and entrepreneurship skills (BEES) required by employers in an constantly evolving labor market. As identified in the summary above, the skills identified, such as communication, teamwork, flexibility, planning and design, etc., are transferable across markets, countries and technological advancements. This project educated young children, at primary level, in these skills, and facilitated teachers’ training in being able to teach these skills in an innovative way. This programe of education has been integrated with the existing educational curricula across seven European schools. The project incorporated several thousand participants at a variety of levels spanning pupils, teachers, parents and wider communities in each school area. The project consisted of six Learner Teacher Training Activities. These addressed the teaching of the ‘BEES’ skills in a thematic or subject specific manner. The first of which focused on Drama and Cooperative Learning strategies in Ireland. The other LTTA mobilities took the following topics as their center point: Communication through Visual Art in Poland, Web2Tools and ICT skills in Italy, Numeracy training in Scotland,Commercial Awareness in Spain, Entrepreneurship, Planning and Design in Italy. The two Transnational Meetings which took place at the beginning and end of each project were used to plan, monitor and evaluate previous, ongoing and upcoming project activities. Planning meetings were also held during each mobility to assist in the management and implementation of the project. During each mobility, apart from the subject specific BEES theme workshops, each school also engaged in Global classrooms, Language sessions, and Cultural displays. Aside from the mobilities in the form of LTTAs and TPMs, this project consisted of a wide variety of activities which each partner participated in a local school level. The results of these ongoing activities were also shared among participants through the BEES website and social media. The agenda of these activities is set out in a detailed manner in the project application. This section of the application served as a To Do list to plan and monitor activities. Such activities included a Logo Competition, Skype meetings with pupils, Blogs, Card / Letter exchanges, Video clip presentations, Drama & Art days, Talent Shows, Market Day, Job Fair, Photo hunting, creating a Trailer, Funny Maths events, and Playground designs. Job Shadowing was one of the very successful initiatives implemented as part of this project.

Our project challenged school communities to explore The European Cultural Heritage of all partners and engage in the wider curriculum through Pastimes, Sport and Craft, relating to cultural heritage. The activities documented in this mobility tool, were linked to curriculum requirements and respective School Development Plans. Through physical and virtual mobilities, independent tasks and careful monitoring of results, attainment was boosted and educational targets were achieved collaboratively.We addressed the problems and issues each partner faced through collaborative activities. We learned about each cultural heritage through meetings, physical and online, organised activities and involvement of twider school communities. We built on relationships to ensure participants and individuals/groups felt welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to participate in school /community life. Every participant learned something valuable about themselves, countries, personal well-being and well-being of peers. They were encouraged to learn transferable skills which now have positive impact on interpersonal skills towards peers and counterparts in school, local community, Europe and beyond.Sporting, crafting, practical activities and social interactions took place using a range of teaching /learning methodology, (Soft, Visual, Auditory and kinaesthetic skills,) Visits, presentations/sharing of information and pastimes boosted the holistic, contextual learning of history, geography, humanities, science, foreign languages, mathematics, literacy, culture and The Arts.Motivation of staff and children increased, well balanced citizens have emerged, who are more able to impact and shape the future cohesion of communities, bridge gaps between age, gender, disability, ability, race and religion. Personal and professional skills have also been challenged by new and interesting ideas, methodology, exchanges and observation, presenting itself in a deeper understanding of theoretical/methodological practice learnt from professionals, experts and peers - invaluable CPD, raising standards in teaching and chances for career progression. Participants from different social backgrounds experienced mobility, facilitating accurate interpretation of situations and enabling them to rationalise/modify their own understanding of other communities and draw unprejudiced comparisons and conclusions, based on their own thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours through positive interactions.Changed perspectives were achieved through the project activities.We explored and learned about cultural inheritance of Pastimes, which have passed down from previous generations representing history, identity, values and traditions. We invited lots of parents, Grandparents and children to share their pastimes together, giving opportunity to work in intergenerational settings, schools, homes, museums, community centres and schools. We visited visit historical monuments and buildings/ archaeological sites, towns and the natural environment and landscape, explored traditions, social practices, craftsmanship and knowledge and skills transmitted from generation to generation within a community which has rejuvenated interest which will now be preserved for future generations. It was reported that reduced time is spent on electronic games, TV and social media sites, that it has inspired everyone to explore traditional/new ways to offer inclusive activities relating to their own cultures, customs, traditions and beliefs, socialise, interact and communicate for themselves and encouraged their own active health and personal well being and motivation to learn. All activities can be adapted or differentiated for participation at an age and stage appropriate level and helped them to discover new skills and practise sociability, tolerance and to celebrate the cultural diversity of other peers across Europe. It provided an extension of intercultural/intergenerational participation and family learning opportunities and resulted in physical and shared collection of pastimes, activities, games and teaching resources,Increased sociability and motivation, confidence, social participation, creativity and educational achievement. We introduced a wider range of hobbies and pastimes which encourage children and adults to take managed risks and develop their own safeguarding skills, Enhance outdoor learning opportunities and problem solving skills We now have a shared bond with peers across Europe of belonging to, engaging with and preserving/protecting extended European community and collective cultural heritage It taught us to balance Inclusion and equity of all stakeholders and bridge the current gap in diversity, inclusivity, quality of teaching and learning and social networking opportunities. Our project has provided an exciting vehicle which everyone can drive forward at their own pace and in the direction which suits their needs and the needs of others

"Our school, the comprehensive Institute “Virgilio” , is located in Santa Cecilia, the coastal area of the municipality of Eboli, in the province of Salerno, Italy. There are 629 students, aged 3 to 14 years old and 78 teachers. The school population is very heterogeneous, in fact the students come from many different districts in the area and we have integrated in our classes students who were born in other countries, such as Romania, Morocco, India or refugees. Our school welcomes and creates a positive atmosphere for students, families and all those who work within the school. We partecipate to the national project "" SPORT DI CLASSE"" (Classroom Sport) organised by MIUR, and the national sports association ""CONI"" , and to the national project ""RACCHETTE DI CLASSE"" (Classroom Rackets) . For this reason we have thought to prepare a project on sport to implement the positive results we have had by the partecipation to these two national projects. We strongly believe in the role of sport as an aggregation tool and means of inclusion for the disadvantaged children and with this project we want to achieve manifold objectives: To encourage students and their families to participate in regular physical activity in order to improve their physical, mental and social well being.To develop a wide variety of sports in the area, to ensure that leisure and sports facilities of the school are accessible to all. To create opportunites for socialization between the different layers of society. To focus the attention on the positive values of sport: Loyalty, Temperance, Resilience, Strenght of character, Acceptance of weaknesses, of defeat, Generosity, and so on. Furthermore , our school adheres to the community program “Fruits and Vegetables in schools” created by ”Create Food and Nutrition Research Center “ ,which includes the “Olympics of the Fruit”. And we have included in the project the theme of healthy eating habits connected with the sport activity.Each nation will partecipate with a maximum of 6 students aged between 11/14 so that in the sport activities there will be a good balance. Sport will be the starting point of a series of activities, focusing on all the educational aspects that derive from this discipline: the respect of the rules, the overcoming of prejudices, stereotypes, to fight bullying, to learn to establish objectives and to act in order to realize them.These and many other ideas will be developed during the project through activities to do in the classroom and to share on the etwinning platform. Each country has decided which sport tournament to organise and which theme, connected to sport, to deal. So We have:Olympic Games in Greece with Theme ""Olympic Games Values and HistoryHandball tournament in Romania, with Theme :""The values connected to sport practice"" Datchball tournament in Spain , with Theme: ""Sport :Past and Present. What differences?"" Badminton and Football in Bulgaria, with Theme : "" Best Sportsmanship Examples""Street Basketball in Portugal with Theme: "" Health and Sport""Mini Tennis Cup in Italy with Theme: "" Healthy Eating Habits"" Through the various mobilities , the students will enter into contact with a great variety of students from so many different parts of Europe. Talking with them, playing their games the students will enrich themselves, will become more open-minded, will be more tolerant and will learn that all the cultures are respectable and have the right to exist , that the diversity is a treasure to preserve and foster, not to combat and annihilate. They will also sthrenghten or improve the linguistic skills in English. Finally , but not less important, the sport activities are perfect also to avoid early school leaving, in fact students who experience a positive perception of oneself as a learner, even in sport, increase the probability of educational success. This project will help the partecipating schools to create a net of relationships in order to establish productive collaborations among the students and the teachers, to go on with their collaboration on the etwinning platform with new and captivating projects, to spread the benefits of what they have learnt to other schools on the territory and to the social communt less important, the sport activities are perfect also to avoid early school leaving, in fact students who experience a positive perception of oneself as a learner, even in sport, increase the probability of educational success. This project will help the partecipating schools to create a net of relationships in order to establish productive collaborations among the students and the teachers, to go on with their collaboration on the territory around the school. It wil be an example to show that even a village school like ours, can achieve big ideas if supported by the work of everybody."

Education should be a tool to overcome inequalities from which individuals within society set out. This has been our main motivation in our latest international projects in which we have worked on conflict resolution issues. Our aim in this new project is to tackle gender inequality from different perspectives, promoting the integration of women with equal opportunities in all areas of society. To achieve this goal, the project involves four secondary schools from Spain, Turkey, Romania and Poland. It is explained in detail the number of active participants during the whole project, in each mobility and, besides, how the school communities are going to be joined.The motivation of this project arises from a survey on equality conducted by the participating schools. It has been noted in it that the answers were related to the gender of the respondents (choice of school subjects, way of occupying the leisure-time places, choice of extracurricular activities or professional careers). In addition, the partner schools have analysed the lack of visibility in our curricula, in our environments, in the students view of their teachers or the use of language. The conclusions drawn from this survey have made us see that the main priority of this project is Social Inclusion, as we think we must ensure that women can achieve equal opportunities in every realm of society. At the same time, the teachers profiles will be enhanced, improving the training of the participating professionals and, finally, through the activities planned the competences of all the participants will be strengthened.The stated objectives imply creating a Gender Equality Observatory in each school; carrying out training activities that set the grounds of a greater awareness with regard to equality and women visibility, respect and stereotypes; encouraging experiences and opportunities for students close to social exclusion and their teachers; fostering the use of foreign languages; raising the school communities’ awareness of the importance of the chosen subject; collaborating with local institutions that work on gender equality and promoting collaborative methodologies. To get all this a set of activities are suggested; they will begin with a basic training course about equality for teachers -C1- and four mobilities/short-term exchanges with students with these contents: visibility, respect, stereotypes and equality, in such a way as to favour an inclusive and egalitarian education –C2, C3, C4 y C5. Within the previous and subsequent activities as well as those done during the mobilities, workshops for students, families and teacher will be carried out, educational materials which disseminate the contents included and improve the competences of all the participants will be created, and the expected project results will also be disseminated: development of four Equality Plans adapted to the legislation and reality of each school, implementing the four Gender Equality Observatories and creation of teaching material – at least 12 Didactic Units in open format enabling the development of a subject on Equality once the project was finished.To ensure a wider reach of this project in each of the schools, we will develop an eTwinning project with a group of academically disadvantaged students at the same time. Hence, apart from disseminating all the materials developed in Twinspaces, specific workshops with similar contents for both projects will be set.The impact will be registered in the ongoing Quality Plan, with objective quantitative and qualitative indicators that show its real significance. A great impact is expected in the schools as well as locally, regionally and internationally, on the basis of the different actions that will change the functioning of the schools –above all the Observatory and the Equality Plan- and to this aim the training of the students, teachers and families, who are expected to be more involved in the school activities, will be improved. The relations among the schools and institutions nearby will be strengthened, apart from promoting the relation with other schools to disseminate the results through the use of different social networks.To ensure that the project continues, a Sustainability Plan including all the long-term actions will be written: functioning of the Gender Equality Observatories, integration of each Equality Plan and use of the teaching units, either as part of the regular subjects or creating a new specific one on equality or including them into the complementary training carried out in the schools.

"S.O.S. (Strengthen Online Safety for Students) is a project that has been conceived from the need to empower the students (Ss) with the necessary skills as to acknowledge and learn to avoid the online risks they may face when browsing the Internet, in an ever-changing world where technology has taken over most of our lives. Given the fact that statistics at European level show that the use of Internet among children and teenagers has dramatically increased over the past few years and that there is not enough focus on online safety taught at school, we consider that this project allows the Ss to acquire the necessary skills to cope with this world.The main objective of our project is to improve our Ss’ ability to use the internet safely, over the 24 months of the project, by focusing and learning about the risks they could face, such as cyber bullying, fake news, data privacy, harmful content and sexting and grooming. Our general objectives are to encourage exchange of good practices and promote international cooperation among schools.S.O.S. will involve 6 partners from Spain, Portugal, Finland, Poland, Croatia and Romania. The project targets a large audience, the whole school community (family, Ss, Teachers(Ts), other school staff and local organizations), although the main beneficiaries are the Ss aged 10 to 15. There will be 137 Ss and 60 Ts involved in the actual exchange visits, but a more considerable number from all partner schools will actively participate in the project.The activities carried out during the project will follow the project management plan, focusing on aspects such as quality, monitoring, dissemination and risk management. Thus, each school will have team members responsible with the smooth operation of each aspect mentioned above. The main activities are:1. A free online course for Ts involved in the project, so as to get a better understanding of the key concepts connected to the topic and to be able to guide the Ss during the activities, towards achieving the expected results and to give them advice and counselling if necessary.2. Six short-term pupils exchanges, each of which will deal with a specific topic, all of them labeled as major risks online:-Cyber Bullying: Let’s Stop it!-Fake News: How to spot it?-Online data privacy risks: the more we know the safer !!!-Exposure to harmful content: 10 tips to be aware of ...-Sexting and Grooming: let's fight them together!-Let’s S.O.S !!! Final activityBefore each activity, there will be preparations, which will cover the methodology to be discussed, the cultural aspects and after the activities, dissemination will be made in each participant school and community.The project will combine physical mobility with virtual meetings, allowing cooperation and exchange of good practice for the transnational teams of Ss and Ts. eTwinning will be the linking instrument in the project, as every activity, from planning, to implementing and disseminating is planned to be carried out on the platform. The Ss’ involvement in the process of planning, discussing, establishing, deciding and implementing will raise their motivation in being activelearners, improve their communication and social skills and help them understand the importance of well being in the online world.The results of the project will be:-""Take a stand against cyber bullying"" campaign/ ""Block and Report"" campaign against harmful content of any kind/ ""Think before you Post"" campaign-Short films/play on cyber bullying-""Fake or Real news"" workshop-Video conference on data privacy and phishing-""Media Smart"" brochure/ ""Be your own Master Online"" leaflet-""How to avoid exposure to harmful content"" presentation-""DO's and DON'TS of the online world"" booklet-""Our European Calendar of being safe online""-""The ABC of Online Safety"": dictionary of the online terms in 6 languagesDissemination of the results will be made via various methods, such as: presentations and workshops at institutional and local level, articles, posts on educational platforms and in the written press, project page/blog, eTwinning portal, Facebook. The project will have a widespread impact in the community, which will ensure its sustainability. Thus, Ss will raise awareness on and try avoiding the dangers online, boost their motivation, improve self-confidence and school performance, increase social skills and language competence. The parents will understand the risks that their children might be exposed to and prevent negative situations through careful supervision of their children's time online. The Ts will improve linguistic and technology skills, become acquainted with different educational systems and approach of various topics. The schools involved will increase reputation and visibility in the community, strengthen local partnerships, develop European dimension, establish long-term partnerships with European schools."
