"The project ""Cross-disciplinary activities for sustainable life"" unites five schools: Narva Kesklinna Gümnaasium (Estonia), Escola Secundária Dr. Joaquim Gomes Ferreira Alves, Valadares, Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal), Pales pamatskola (Latvia), Panevezio Saltinio progimnazija (Lithuania) and Tarsus Borsa Istanbul Sehit Umut Sami Sensoy Anadolu Lisesi (Turkey). The main motivation for the project is connected with our wish to make the learning process in our schools more practical and close to real life. In international partnership we plan to collect and develop cross-disciplinary tasks for sustainable life which we will be able to use with our students for helping them see the application of their knowledge received at school and feel responsibility for the planet. At the moment the world is facing a very difficult time, which demonstrates us how connected we all are, how our steps influence other people and how careful and thoughtful we should be in order to be healthy and live in a healthy environment. The project objectives are:1. To make learning in our schools more exciting and practical with the help of cross-disciplinary activities for sustainable life: at least 16 new tasks will be worked out.2. To ensure that the tasks we have worked out suit students of different cultures and backgrounds: all the tasks will be tested by the partner schools in international teams.3. To reduce the risk of early school leaving and disadvantage by providing the students with competences they can use outside the school and become more successful and happy in life.4. To increase use of eTwinning opportunities by the partner schools for providing cross-disciplinary virtual activities to students during and after the present project.The final output is a toolbox of cross-disciplinary activities for sustainable life for the students in the age 12-15. The toolbox can be used by other teachers in the EU.Some examples that we are planning to develop: organisation of green workshops; making a project model ""Green town""; calculating the risks and making forecasts on the topic of the world pollution and ecological dangers; international camp ""ECO-design""; virtual museum exhibition ""Green world"", etc. In the project we plan to work locally and internationally.The international mobilities are divided into short-term joint staff training events (2 during the project) and exchanges of groups of students (3 during the project).The project participants are:1. Teams of teachers: they will collect, develop and test cross-disciplinary activities for sustainable life with the students. Each school has selected their project teams at the stage of the project preparation.2. Students of each partner school. There will be four students involved in each mobility and virtual work in eTwinning. The age of students is 12 - 15. There will be different students in each mobility, so that the project can provide international learning experience to more students.Narva Kesklinna Gümnaasium is the project coordinator. Latvian school is responsible for coordination of eTwinning activities, Lithuanian - for monitoring and evaluation of the project activities and results, Turkish - for dissemination of the project activities and results, Portuguese - for sustainability of the project results. Estonian and Portuguese partner schools worked together in the previous Erasmus+ strategic partnership project ""Challenging conflicts at school"". The partners from Turkey were involved because one of their coordinators has long term experience cooperation with Narva school and the new school would like to join the partnership. Latvian and Lithuanian schools were found via partner search in eTwinning. All of the partners started their communication on the present project in 2018 preparing the project application for the last year. Since the project didn't get support, during this year we worked on its improvement and stayed in touch.We expect this project to have a deep impact on the participating schools: the teachers will receive cross-disciplinary activities for sustainable life to use with their students in the age of 12-15. It will make make learning in our schools more exciting and practical; the school teams (teachers and students) will improve their international cooperation competences; the schools will develop as organisations, implementing new ideas and partners' best practices. They will receive experience and be able to work with intercultural groups of students. The students will be more motivated and we will reduce the risk of early school leaving and disadvantage by providing the students with competences they can use outside the school and become more successful and happy in life; the synergy created in the project will make all the participating schools stronger offering diverse expertise (all the project partners have their specific competences); the planned activities are directly connected with curricula of participating schools."
