"Five European partners decide to meet to work together on the subject of borders: ""No frontier: a dream or a nightmare ?"" Each of the partners knows one or two others thanks to former collaborations on different European programme lines: Job shadowing, eTwinning projects, Defrit. Faced with the rise of individualism and nationalism, it seems important to us to remind or introduce the younger generations to the context in which we live in Europe. The notion of citizenship is experienced in very different ways by everyone. These differences come from external forces that influence the thinking and behaviour of each individual. Being a European citizen implies an even greater capacity for openness and tolerance. But we must also accept to try to understand the other. This is the objective of our project, which focuses on the notion of borders in all their forms: cultural, religious, political, linguistic, geographical, economic, social and technological. Each partner will endeavour to make young people want to observe, analyse and understand the different situations proposed: transnational team activities, visits, productions (text, images, videos). And what could be more motivating for young people than to get involved in activities, themselves, imagined by the young people? The coaches define the main lines and accompany the young people in the preparation, implementation and follow-up of each activity. 20 young people from each country, aged 15 to 17, partly in general high school, partly in vocational high school, will have the opportunity, in groups of 5, to participate in a stage of this project. These 20 young people will also have the chance to discover their daily lives by welcoming a ""correspondent"" during this two-year course. Among the activities planned: - Activities in ""transnational"" groups: project logo, project logbook, photo album, multilingual dictionary, work on regional languages, activities on stereotypes, creation of dissemination tools (written press, internet) These activities will be carried out through mobility and eTwinning activities (before, during and after mobility). - Visits: historical sites, symbolic sites of the notion of ""border"", visualization of the notion of ""invisible"" border (social differences, notion of neighbourhood) From the idea of this project, through the drafting of the Erasmus+ form, to the final assessment, the activities are co-imagined, co- discussed, co-written and co-implemented. This project is a group work from beginning to end. The differences in the perception of the notion of border have allowed us to define a theme for each activity/mobility. This makes the project more readable and easier to understand, imagine and organize. The expected results can be divided into two categories: - tangible results: documents, productions, created and stored for dissemination. - ""Intangible"" results on participants: * Behaviour: tolerance, awareness, living together, trust, openness. * Skills: technology, project management, foreign languages, creativity. This collaboration makes it possible to explore similarities and differences from north to south in Europe, thus creating a stronger sense of unity. It allows students to get to know Europe better, its customs, lifestyles, rights and gives them the confidence to question themselves in a new situation, thus promoting the European dimension. The activities improve their communication, receptivity and intercultural skills and facilitate the recognition and validation of knowledge, skills and competences acquired through formal and informal learning. Even transnational initiatives can encourage active citizenship. Visits to partner schools are an opportunity for teachers to meet other education systems and enrich each other's educational experience while learning from the best practices of other schools, setting an example for others. The results will encourage other teachers to participate in projects like this one. It will also serve to raise awareness among local communities of the project's themes, the European dimension, cultures and languages. These experiences should also help students to recognize others without prejudice in their subsequent learning. For the institutions that collaborate on our project, this will be a great opportunity to carry out transversal activities in different fields in order to benefit from their specific expertise. This type of cooperation will enable them to promote the development of education and their integration into local and regional development actions."
