"School is the first place in which a child is confronted with his own motivational drives, with cognitive, social and relational skills, with challenges.The first reason for students leaving education and training courses early is the lack of motivation to learn.This project was born to try to stem this phenomenon, favoring the involvement of students in school life and supporting their motivation to learn, making them experience the pleasure of discovering new knowledge.With this in mind, planned and systematic activities were carried out with the pupils but in parallel with the training of the teachers and at the same time with due attention to the parents who are an indispensable link for the serenity and success of the children.""How can I guide my child to achieve his goal?"" On this issue, meetings were held on the subject that helped raise awareness among parents to support their children.All teachers in our schools have received coaching training to acquire all the skills necessary to best guide students. After this training, each partner school has identified a ""training coach"". The teachers identified have held periodic meetings with the students and guided them towards self-knowledge and the definition of objectives.The salient activities were the following:- Organization of the ""project corridor"" to raise awareness among students and expose the activities of the project. We ensured the monitoring and follow-up of the project.- Motivating words have been hung in the corridors. A motivational library was created and moments of reading were held.- Creation of the tree of objectives, which collected as unripe but precious fruits, the academic, social, sporting or personal objectives of the students and entrusted to the sheets then hung with the prospect of reopening them at the end of the project.- A poster contest was held on the theme ""Here is my goal"". All the posters were displayed in the corridor of the project to make all students feel valued.- Motivational videos were watched that give the input not to give up, transmitting values such as commitment, honesty, solidarity and motivation to the children.- Music is transmitted during breaks because it regulates mood and in general gives a feeling of pleasure.- Picnic trips for students, team games were organized; initiatives that have served to promote positive feelings towards the school.- Motivational conversations were held with established people. Seeing concrete examples stimulated the students' desire to engage.- At the end of the project, the objectives of the tree were reopened and the percentage of students who reached the set goal was calculated. We found that over 80% of students achieved their goals in whole or in part.- A ""Certificate of Specialization in Motivation"" was awarded to students who achieved their goals.- At the beginning and at the end of the project, we applied the Academic Motivation Scale to the students. We got digital data on motivation levels. The result was an indication that the project activities worked.- The project magazine has been prepared. Motivation Academy Blog, Facebook and Instagram pages were created to exhibit, follow and share results. This allowed the partners to share their experiences but also contributed to the dissemination and dissemination of the project results.The partner schools are: the Turkish school, coordinator, had previous experience on the subject so she led the team; Romania expert in CLIL; Italy expert in the implementation of European projects; Sweden, in the first European project, a first line school for the reception of non-EU immigrant children refugees of war; Spain, a first-time school with a great desire to grow and open up to Europe. We were a close-knit and collaborative group that during the project met almost daily on a special Whatsapp group, where we shared ideas, faced problems always through an assertive dialogue and respectful of the points of view of others.The meetings were crucial for the success of the project as we teachers were able to experience job shadowing in the classrooms, a means of excellence for learning good practices, acquiring new skills and knowledge, making exchanges and mutual enrichments in the professional, cultural and human fields. No training is more effective than watching colleagues and students at work.The exchange did not take place only with job shadowing but the visiting partners themselves organized pleasant and interesting workshops for groups of children from the host school, who were thus able to ""breathe the air of Europe"" by working side by side with teachers of various nationalities. This was an added value."
