<< Background >>The project was submitted to address and improve school teaching methods. The aim of this project is to obtain a product that would be useful for teaching, for the local community and for improving the tourist offer of the cities involved. The time of the pandemic also revealed how people can be prevented from moving and traveling freely for a variety of reasons. With the help of this application and digital content, they will get the feeling that they are free and will be able to see the sights of the included cities as if they were really there. Looking at what our cities need, we have established that the application is a new modern way of accessing tourists and that this is exactly what we need to make our cities more competitive in the tourism market. All the countries involved in this project have most of their GDP from the tourism industry and that is what they really need. It was also determined during the pandemic how little digital material we had. If the project is accepted and the goals of the project are realized, we will get valuable digital content that will be publicly available to all interested teachers and students from the local and state environment. They will be able to use this and thus improve the quality of their teaching. Students who cannot travel due to their poor financial situation and various reasons, will at least be able to virtually experience the beautiful cities and sights of important European cities. In addition to these products that we will receive, a very important item is the participation of students in European projects. Thanks to the projects, our students have the opportunity to travel to new countries, work closely with students from other countries to improve their English language skills, get to know other cultures, acquire knowledge and skills that will enrich them and improve their later life.<< Objectives >>By implementing the project, we want to get new products: Mobile application - tourist guide to the cities of Schiedam, Reykjavik, Dublin, Nafpaktos Swieqi and Split, and digital content that would contain the cultural sights of these cities. The obtained products would improve the tourist offer of cities, and would improve the teaching of teaching contents in our schools. In addition, by participating in the project, students would improve their computer science, cultural and historical knowledge and English language skills, because each product will be translated into English in addition to their mother tongue. The working language of the project is also English, and students will acquire communication skills in English by constantly communicating with peers from other countries and working on products.In addition, students will participate in mobilities where they will be able to meet new people, new cultures and gain new knowledge about the history and sights of other cities. For teachers, this will be an opportunity to work on their IT skills and the products themselves will serve them in processing new teaching units. Instead of just showing pictures, they will have videos made with state-of-the-art 3D techniques available. For all project participants as well as other students in the school who will not be directly involved in the mobilities this will be a way out into the world, the freedom to virtually enjoy the beauties of the cultivated cities and sights. For the local community, this will be a great way to learn some new things about their city and, with the help of an expert virtual guide, tour their city and notice and learn new things about important monuments of their city for the first time.<< Implementation >>The activities that will be implemented in the project are as follows:1. A transnational project meeting will be held at the beginning of the project in Schiedam. At this meeting, experts from Nefinia will hold a three-day course for computer science professors, coordinators and professors of English or History from partner countries. In three days, colleagues from the Netherlands will show how to use a 3d camera, collect materials and create an application.2. MobilityDuring the mobility, students will be accompanied by their teachers to participate in five-day workshops in the host countries. Workshops will focus on students working together in order to obtain the final product. Students will photograph and record monuments and sights of cities together, and will then digitally process them and insert them into the application together with written data.3. DisseminationDissemination will be carried out in all cities through school sessions, class lectures, through public media. Project participants will be part of the twinning space on the ETwinning portal and there will be regular dissemination and evaluation of the project as well as project tasks before, after each mobility and for the entire duration of the project. Dissemination will also be during various events. The events will be held separately in each city during Erasmus days, school open days, and two events are planned that will unite all partners. One event will be organized in Split with the help of the Split Tourist Board. In addition to local participants, which will consist of all partners from the city involved in the project (representatives of tourist boards, city administration, museums), there will also be virtual participants from all partner countries. The second event will be the participation of the partner coordinator in the annual eTwinning conference. The main coordinator of the event will be a school from Nafpaktos that has the status of an eTwinning school.<< Results >>As a result of the project, we expect to receive a mobile application and digital content. The outcome of these our products will be the participation of students of different background experiences and life stories involved together in creating a new product. By working on the products of the project, students will enrich their knowledge of informatics, their knowledge of the English language and will also enrich their social and communication skills. Students who do not normally have the opportunity to communicate outside their circle of people will be able to meet some new thoughts, new cultures and will understand that, regardless of the different backgrounds their colleagues come from, they all have common interests and are in fact very similar. Working on products will improve their self-confidence, their faith in themselves and they will realize that they are equal with all their peers from the European Union.
