The ultimate goal of our Erasmus+ Project is to promote good coexistence in the participating schools and make it extensive to the families, neighbourhoods and cities of the schools involved. The idea is to improve inclusion and cohesion around us, to share our educational model with other EU countries, and to learn and benefit from their coexistence programs as well. Our Erasmus+ Project start is closely connected to the needs of the students in our schools. Their socioeconomic circumstances call for the development of strategies oriented towards their effective social inclusion by promoting equal opportunity among an heterogeneous, socially-disadvantaged, and culturally diverse student population. From an interdisciplinary perspective, our efforts are directed towards eliminating the invisible barriers which prevent students’s social inclusion. This transversal education approach to values promotes a feeling of belonging and a suitable coexistence environment which will enhance the opportunities of our students and help them to complete their studies successfully and thus reduce educational failure and early dropout.Our inclusive work model can only be implemented by educating these students in European Union democratic values, instilling in them a feeling of belonging to this organization and by preventing early dropouts and increasing their opportunities to complete a higher education. This, however, will only be possible if the students’ own experience is taken into account in order to increase their ability for self-learning.We would like to share our inclusive educational approach to all project participants in the sense that it is primarily focused on students with greater support needs. Firstly, as main project participants are our students, who will discover European diversity through the various mobilities in our coexistence tasks and who will disseminate our work methods. Secondly, we, as teachers, will be supporting the students and remaining educational staff involved. Lastly, European partners and various local and regional organizations will also be engaged in the project dissemination and networking.The exchange of work methods should be developed by means of a series of specific activities to include staff training seminars and the exchange of good practices. There will be two (2) staff training seminars, one in September 2020 conducted by our team and another in May 2022 conducted by our Slovenian partner. The idea is to to meet and get to know each other, share views on our respective inclusion programs, and provide training to the staff participating in our daily good practice work at the school. An active methodology and proposal for developing the activities will enable the exchange of views concerning the implementation of the actions required to improve coexistence and inclusion to the benefit of all participants. Additionally, the participants’ own experience and training through the activities proposed will also enhance our knowledge of school cohesion and inclusion.The idea is that the project be the beginning of a collaboration at all possible levels and to be sustainable in the longer term. We will do our best to establish solid and lasting structures in all partner countries involved. We firmly believe in collaboration as a means of growth. All activities to be developed will help involve all students in the project and will relate it to participating partners, regardless of their participation in mobilities. Some activities will be directed to familiarize students with the cultural and linguistic diversity of partner countries, promote awareness of European cultural diversity, and emphasize its positive and enriching value.However, despite the fact that the primary goal is to improve coexistence in our schools and to help build a compendium of common civic values, we also intend to disseminate good practices from within schools walls towards the exterior. The promotion of community values from within the school, neighbourhoods and cities only makes sense if we are capable of taking advantage of the experience of other people and to adapt them to our own needs, identifying and developing common civic values to improve cohesion and inclusion. These values are easily transferable when they are considered within a bigger common framework as the European context.

Coding is like a language. It is a way to instruct a computer or a tablet what you want it to do. It may be seen as the modern literacy and it is important that the teachers within our educational systems are well versed in it in this field so that they will also be able to pass on this knowledge to our pupils who will constitute the generations of the future. In fact, young children can learn the foundations of coding before they can even write and spell. Learning to code will prepare our pupils for future jobs, jobs which don’t even yet exist, hence the importance of it all. This project will focus on the teaching of numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics. The objectives of this project may be listed as follows: 1) Provide training to at least 40 teachers about numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics 2) Enable at least 40 teachers to expand their expertise on the teaching of numeracy and literacy through coding and robotics through exchange of good practices 3) Establish a good relationship between the 4 participating schools The planned activities to be undertaken over two years are 1 Kick-Off Management Meeting in Malta, 4 school visits in Malta, Slovenia, Italy and Portugal, and 1 structured training course for staff - Italy (Milan) and 3 dissemination activities by each participating school in their own country. The concrete results of this project will be the following: - At least 40 teachers will receive training on the teaching of numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics; - At least 40 teachers will be more knowledgeable about the best way to teach numeracy and literacy skills through coding and robotics via the exchange of good practices with other European teachers; and - 4 European schools will undertake mutual capacity-building Participant teachers will be equipped with the necessary training which is then transferred to other teachers within the school. Educators in our school will be using online resources and other Coding equipment with their learners once we disseminate the knowledge gathered from this project. These online resources will be available on the eTwinning Platform - available for all. Here we’ll have all our activities together with an eWorkbook. This can be viewed by all the school partners and also by schools in other countries. This will be a good way to show our good practices and the success of our project.

"This project entitled "" from Columbus to Atlantis"", was not a history project, but a vehicle for students to explore how the world is interconnected and even if we live in different regions and even if we are facing a world where problems seem to be solved by erecting ever more borders we share a common humanity, we wanted to raise a global perspective among our students. By the time the project had finished, this theme of ERECTING BORDERS WHILE SHARING A COMMON HUMANITY became a major and poignant thread. Our project fell victim to covid19, as a result borders which had never been in place for hundreds of years were re-established, students unable to work in school, students unable to travel from town to town never mind from country to country, the words Isolating and distancing became common parlance.....but despite this, this darkness fell upon every one of us regardless of gender, nationality, colour age or creed. The nightmare that was COVID emphasised the common humanity that binds us. And while our project always sought to raise the global horizons of our students through studies of environmental issues, through examining how pollution impacted on us all regardless of the imposition of borders, we did respond to the situation by including COVID as a further illustration of the inter connectness of us all, and we used the covid experience as a means of emphasising the human spirit. The project has four Chapters which collectively led to a progressive focussing of issues, the first meetings continued unchanged. ""View through the window"" was an introduction but concentrated on looking at a world with very limited horizons. However by using this we can introduce ourselves and explore where students see themselves in the world. This represented what we see now, how we saw the world on a daily basis, however the end product is the recognition that we share a lot more than we would expect. And although this was the opening activity, which we really expected only to do once, we revisited this with a photographic exhibition of covid in our towns in the early days of covid. The second chapter "" European Odyssey"" took our students away from their homes and regions but the intellectual and emotional movement is as a tourist, it was designed to allow the students to acquire a superficial impression of their neighbours. In order to address this section our students created tourist brochures depicting their regions. We then progressed to a section called ""The voyage from zero to one."" When Christopher Columbus sailed to Hispaniola, Europe still worked on the Roman number system but by the time he died we had acquired the Arabic Zero, the content here is hung on a framework by which mathematics has evolved from Roman Numerals to the digital age....and the digital age connects us far more closely than ever, the ability to make and maintain friendships across borders, the impact of events in location X now has an instant and observeable result in region Y. Following the meeting in Slovenia we started work on project topics which had technical, scientific issues, this included activities involving the design of model satellites, some elementary programming using an arduino or raspberry pi. Design of an Eco restaurant, Sustainable energy production, harnessing the power of water and eco housing. These objectives were all carried out successfully and the results are visible in the twin space, on the web site, and in the results platform The final part is entitled ""Dear Mir"" We planned to use the model of the space station circling the earth every 45 minutes and the views from space to show how beautiful and fragile our planet is, but critically that we are all citizens of this planet, we cannot stand in splendid isolation. Therefore during the application stage we wanted to illustrate that environmental issues affect us all, so this section was intended to look at recycling, green energy, green transport, sustainable development etc.....and it did include all of these features but we chose to include work chronicling our students' experience of COVID. It was certainly not something we considered during the application but the underlying impact had a direct relevance to our overarching agenda of describing us all as citizens of the planet."

Internet has had an enormous impact on our society today and digitization is changing our society more and more and new skills are demanded from our students in the future. Schools all over the world need to adapt these changes to be able to teach students appropriate knowledge and make sure they get skills, needed in the future. In this project, four schools from Sweden, UK, Greece and Slovenia aim to reflect together what digital tools as well as skills about Netiquette and eSafety will be needed among our students to be able to participate, be productive and be prepared for in the future. We are all looking for new opportunities to improve the skills of our teachers and be updated but also influenced by other nations and knowledge among teachers in other countries. As this project can contribute to develop teachers skills and knowledge within eSafety and Netiquette. Through this cooperation we want to find teaching methods that will be needed for our teachers in future classroom. We want to work according to the expectations of future classroom skills as tablets, mobile phones and computers are part of daily use in schools.Our transnational project is important because our students meet online through internet and different games, activities, blogs and so on. Internet connects people and we need to prepare students for this world and possibilities but also threats and netiquette, prepare students to handle different situations and also create awareness.19 teachers will cooperate and work together as we will write a guideline about lessons that need to be part of the education in all schools around the world. We will focus on skills needed in the new digital era.Objective: discovering/reflecting over our pedagogical methods and new ideas about Netiquette and eSafety. Objective: encouraging teachers to use new teaching methods regarding Netiquette and eSafety.Objective: increasing use of digital tools/codingObjective: student skills needed in digital era.Objective: plan lessons together to work with students of different ages in our eTwinning projects.Objective: good practice through discussions among the participating countriesObjective: workshops (teachers learning from each other) while hosting others.Aims:Adapting new methods though there are not any specific books (traditional learning) regarding eSafety and Netiquette. Teacher will be more innovative in the way of working with students and to be able to work with skills that students need in future classroom.Introducing new methods of work with digital tools and improving their ICT skills. We will plan them and try them out, evaluate them and write them down, to share them with school staff. We will start within our schools but we will spread our guideline to other schools both national and transnational.Since we plan to involve our students through eTwinning projects, as we try out our lessons. Students are actually our main target group for our knowledge and the guideline, since our project is a way of making students getting skills needed in the future. Together we will create future classroom and this project will improve the skills of the teachers and prepare them, to prepare our students.
