"Cultural Heritage - our cuisine, writing, arts, the native language, kids’ games, folk dances, songs – all this is just an unseperable part of our life that makes us consider ourselves as a generation. Passing all this heritage from generations to generations we construct a strong bridge which establishes a bond between the past and the future through the present understanding of the eternality of culture by the school which is the major dynamic in this sphere.Our project is based on the partnership of Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and Turkey where the survey held among students has shown a deficiency of knowledge of historic and cultural sites refering to Cultural Heritage of their countries. Then, students of these countries do not destinguish in full between tangible and intangible objects of Cultural Heritage. Moreover, they face a kind of problem in naming the sites of Cultural Heritage of their partner countries.One of their latest works of the European Union is announcing 2018 as ""The European Year of Cultural Heritage"". EU's slogan is ""Europe, a common heritage."" Cultural heritage brings Europeans together, whatever their cultural, linguistic or religious backgrounds. https://europa.eu/youth/node/50_en Our project is aimed at ""Increasing Quality and Productivity of Education"" which is one of EU 2020 Education 4 main strategic aims, via Cultural Heritage Sharing; and one of the Europe Key Criterions"" increasing the rate of learning a foreign language and including their own native language all EU citizens' learning a foreign language.""We will learn and teach values which are common and different with European countries, to provide cross_cultural interaction without discrimination of language, religion and race by dealing with tangible intangible natural and cultural values in our project.PARTICIPANTSIn our 24-month-long project, there are six participant countries: Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and Turkey with the students aged between 6 and 18. Our partners Portugal and Latvia have experience of 4 strategic partnerships; Greece - 1 (as a coordinating country); Portugal, Lithuania and Poland have experience of school education staff mobility. This project will be the first international experience for Turkey, the coordinating country.Each country will send 4 students, at least one of them - disadvantaged and 2 teachers for the mobilities. Mobility in Turkey lasts for 5 days and the other mobilities lasts for 3 days. The first mobility will be in Lithuania which has ‘’e-Twinning School Label’’ and Teacher Training on ‘’e-Twinning will be held there. The other mobilities will be conducted with the students.Activities will be performed in 4 main cathegories;Preparation ActivitiesTraining ActivitiesActivities that will support the cultural interactionMobility ActivitiesAIMS* Recognition,protection and maintenance of cultural hertage values.* Development in ability of a foreign language.* Providing opportunities for the students with disadvantages.* Enriching the students and teachers’ sufficiencies.* Creating a perspective which is adopting cultural differences with tolerance.* Developing some of 8 Europe Key Criterions;-Communication in the native language and a foreign language.-Sufficiency of digital platform/digital competence.-Learning to learn.-Social and citizenship sufficiencies/and civic competence .-Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and ability of expression.* Creating the awareness of importance of cultural heritage.* Adding new participants to European cultural heritage.* Providing the communication among cultures including teachers and students at an early age.* Recognizing cultural values which are common and different from European countries.* Providing intercultural dialogue whatever their religion language or race is.* Increasing their goods in cultural heritage over 80%Dissemination activities will be performed on 4 different levels; local, regional, national and EU, just after the acceptance of our project.The results of our project will be shared on the Erasmus+ platform of dissemination after it is completed.The web site of our project will be online and posts will go on.Activities which are low-cost or no-cost will continue.New e-Twinning and Erasmus+ projects will be organised with different partners due to our experience which we would gain in this project.Our new students will be informed of the project, their attention will be drawn and they will be motivated for different international projects.E-book created by the partners will reach masses.Project posts will go on accounts of the social media.A short movie created as a product of the project will be shared with TV channels."

"<< Background >>Our project is called Global-Digital Literacy Opposing Big Errors, or GLOBE.This project can be regarded as the second step of an Erasmus project named ""the world is bigger than what you see on the screen"", WOBIGREEN, which was coordinated by Spanish partner. During this project, Spanish and Turkish schools worked together to make students develop a habit of taking a second look on an event or a news they come across on TV, internet or other communication tools. With the breakout of the Covid-19 pandemics, destructive and harmful effects of the disinformation have spread as fast the pandemic itself worldwide. So, we wanted to work on disinformation and make students and people be more aware of the possible dangers of the disinformation with different activities which will lead them to be more interrogative and have more developed critical thinking skills. And also, teachers and students have been forced to have online lessons due to the lockdowns in our different countries. They had many difficulties adapting themselves into this situation as most of them had never used before. Most important problem they have had is plannning an online lesson, creating interactive activities and following students' progress. And we believe that main source of this problem is the lack of digital competencies so as the project partners we have planned activities that will help teachers develop their digital skills.According to the European Comission, “Media literacy, our capacity to access, have a critical understanding of, and interact with the media has never been as important as in today's society. It enables citizens of all ages to navigate the modern news environment and take informed decisions.” We consider this as an extremely important issue for our students nowadays.The rise of disinformation and fake news in recent years, and particularly during the pandemic, has made us consider the need for greater media and digital literacy of our citizens, along with the European Commission’s policy. We pretend to create a toolkit and a manual for teachers for fact-checking resources, academic research and media literacy. Digital resilience helps individuals recognise and manage the risks they come across when they socialise, explore or work online.This is specially important when we are talking about teenagers who, due to their unique conditions, make themselves put in a high risk of being deceived, or even put in physical danger if they fall in the traps of dissinformation and fake news. Media literacy is achieved primarily through experience, rather than learning and it is fostered by opportunities to confide in trusted others and later reflect upon online challenges, that is why we want to create a set of tools and practical environments where students can learn to tell the difference between information and manipulation.Besides, Internet and the social media have become the main communication means for most of the citizens in developed countries, so the mastering of their language and know how to use them has become vital for getting around in the world, socialize or finding a job.We believe the schools must provide child protection strategies that recognise peer on peer abuse or concerns which can take place online, linked to and a part of other policies, such as safeguarding and child protection, learners’ behaviour (including anti-bullying), staff code of conduct. We want to make our students able to recognise ‘victim blaming’ language and recognise that children and teenagers are never responsible for the harm which they may experience, especially given the online context nature of social media technology.<< Objectives >>Our main aim is to create tools so that students can develop their media literacy, and so become critical thinking citizens able not to be deceived by dissinformation and fake news.Besides, our project will also takle:To support social inclusion: The social and financial disadvantaged students will be given priority to be chosen for the Project mobilities and activities.Supporting girls and gender equality: Although women account for more than half of the European population, only 1 in 6 ICT specialists in the EU is a woman so, girls should be given priority to be chosen for the activities, especially the ones on digital development.Develop teachers’s digital competency, distance learning skills, help schools develop digital solutions. Support digital transformation plans and digital pedagogy: We will organize face-to-face and online workshops on web 2.0 tools, virtual reality, augmented reality etc that will help teachers create their own lesson plans and materials and also develop their e-teaching skills. We will have seminars from expers of digital pedagogyWe will get benefit SELFIE (https://schools-go-digital.jrc.ec.europa.eu/about)We will work on creating opportunities for students to develop their digital skills and make them produce ICT materials rather than consume, so we will organize ICT workshops (lego V3, scratch, ardunio, ….) To support sustainability: we will have virtual mobility to share ideas, activities and good practices how to make our activities more sustainable.Supporting disadvantaged studentsFor our mobilities, we plan to use ""green"" transport as far as it is possible, that is why we have chosen the ""most central"" countries in the project map, so distancies will be lower.We will also work on deeveloping an awareness of green business skillsWe plan to develop high quality products (toolkit/manual/web) and intellectual outputsOur products will be reusable and sustainable.Thanks to the previous study and research for good practices, we will focus on more concrete needs and will use the most innnovative ideasVirtual collaboration is being vital and will be the base of our work, and we will have blended traniningWe plan to use euroean youth portal (https://europa.eu/youth/home_tr) and (https://europa.eu/youth/strategy_en)All the work has been planned after a detailed needs analysisWe will foster the use of digital tools of all students and teachers in our schools and we will ensure we make all project activities accessible and that all participants take part in intellectual outputs. Project results should be useable for all partners and communities.We will use https://www.oercommons.org/ in order to access free resources.We will have online and in-situ multiplier eventsEven though our teachers have to use some digital sources and technological tools in their lessons and especially online classes, they have difficulty choosing the best tool and deciding how to integrate these tools into their lessons. And also, they don’t have much capabilities to create their own materials. So the non-governmental organizations can support us with trainings and workshops on how to integrate online tools into their lessons, creating digital content for their own lessons and using digital tools to assess students’ performance, and following students’ progress.<< Implementation >>-first group of activities will be conducted under etwinning project, they aim to develop teachers and students’ digital capacity. These activities will spread through 2 years and we will have one or two activities, seminars, workshops to develop digital capacity. -production of product results: a toolkit for students to learn Media Literacy and learn how to fight against dissinformation and fake news at their schools, a manual for teachers in order to learn how to implement this toolkit, all of it in a Moodle platform embebed in a webpage with free acces for all the educational community.1)The topics we want to focus on;•awareness through hashtags; building a fact-check habit•rumour breakdown; tracking fake news; social media and perfectionism •social media and syndromes (for example duck syndrome, ugly duck syndrome)•activities to develop students and teachers' digital proficiency•activities on how to ask better questions•school’s digital development; simulation of online teaching:•innovative teaching practices; designing educational tools; e-learning.Spanish school will probably have a TV studio where to develop oratory skills, research, creation of contents and video edition.We will regard social media as a whole but we can work on its effect on different fields.And also, tv radio Graphic Design can be covered in the Topic of social media and job opportunitiesWe will ensure cooperation with other institutions (educational authorities who will provide support as hosts during mobilities, local universities that will help dissemination of toolkit/manual and website in their education schools)Our activities will also focus on an increased sense of initiative and entrepreneurship;• increased competence in foreign languages;• increased level of digital competence;• greater understanding and responsiveness to all kinds of diversity, e.g. social, ethnic, linguistic, gender and cultural diversity as well as diverse abilities;• improved levels of skills for employability and new business creation (including social entrepreneurship);• more active participation in society;• more positive attitude towards the European project and the EU values;• better understanding and recognition of skills and qualifications in Europe and beyond;• improved competences, linked to occupational profiles (teaching, training, youth work, sport coaching, etc.);• better understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, training, youth and sport acrosscountries;• better understanding of interconnections between formal, non-formal education, vocational training, other forms of learning and labour market respectively;• increased opportunities for professional development;• increased motivation and satisfaction in daily work;• increased practice of sport and physical activity.Addressing digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity: The project will support digital transformation plans of secondary, vocational education and training institutions. Priority will be given to increase the capacity and readiness of our schools to manage an effective shift towards digital education. The project will support the use of digital technologies in teaching-learning activities. This includes the development of digital pedagogy and expertise in the use of digital tools for teachers.<< Results >>Expected final products toolkit/manual and website."

<< Objectives >>In order to reach this aim, the OBJECTIVES are as follows:1. To conceptualize a methodological approach and prepare an educational framework for CCE teaching at secondary school level for formal and non-formal education.2. To develop a teacher training program which will include theoretical and practical training on CCE.3. To organize teacher training activity based on the developed program in order to test and validate the outputs created. << Implementation >>In the final phase of the project a Future collaboration plan will be developed which will include the whole strategy on how to ensure the sustainability of the results as well as the dissemination plan after the project ends. The coordinating organization confirms that the outputs of the project will be available after the end of the funding at the organization website. << Results >>Dissemination activities will include: electronic newsletter; presentations in educational events, conferences and other related events there the partner organization will take place with audience such as: teachers, pupils, parents, educators and policy makers; Social Media use. The project coordinator will be responsible for quality assurance of dissemination strategy. The project outcomes will be shared at Erasmus+ Project Results Platform as well as during a Multiplier event.
