"The project ""Future, work, home - today's planning, tomorrow's realization"" was carried out by three partner schools: Romania, Poland and Croatia. The project was coordinated by a Polish school. The aim of the project was to prepare the student to conscious planning their educational path, choice of profession and getting to know the labor market.The project was intended primarily to facilitate the selection of high school and future profession for students of the oldest classes of our schools, including pupils with fewer opportunities. For this purpose, three partners' meetings took place. These were two short-term student exchanges: the first in Romania and the last in Poland. However, in the middle of the project , an international partner meeting took place in Croatia, in which took part teachers involved in the implementation of the project from each country. The meeting served to: summarize the first part of the project, discuss the level of implementation of the planned activities, estimate the level of achievement of the objectives and plan further cooperation.The objectives of the project were achieved to a satisfactory degree, which was confirmed by the project's evaluation. The students gained a better understanding of the local labor market, grew more aware of the specifics of different professions, and got to know their professional predispositions better. In addition, the project contributed to the increase of key competences and taught participants: working in an international environment, communicating in a foreign language, using IT, resourcefulness of life, entrepreneurship and the basics of design and planning. Additionally, the implementation of the project has resulted in the development of skills in: efficient communication in a foreign language in speech and writing, gaining knowledge about culture, customs, way of life in other EU countries, improving IT skills, developing cultural and interpersonal skills. Project participants could also exchange experiences, learn from each other and mobilize to activities, acquire skills and easy in functioning in an international environment."

Levels of walking and biking to school are decreasing in many European countries. The main reason of decreasing the levels of biking to school is that more and more children are transported to their school by their parents’ cars or the school buses. These modes of transport to school have some negative effects such as lack of physical activity, obesity, air pollution, lack of confidence and independent skills and expensive modes of transport. Such negative effects are also common to 6 partner schools in this project. We know that it is a global challenge that needs local solutions. Therefore, we came together and designed our project: Bike2school. The internationality of this project will allow the exchange of best practices and new ideas among partner countries to promote Bike-friendly schools for healthier, educated and more environment-friendly generations across Europe.5 countries and 6 schools will be involved in this project (Turkey, UK, Denmark, Hungary and Croatia) with approximately 700 students aged between 10-12 and about 50 teachers and educators. The other participants of this project will be cycling instructors, parents, educators and leaders, local authorities with different experience, knowledge and beliefs, but common educational ideals.For this project our OBJECTIVES:-To inculcate school community with the benefits of Bike2school regarding health, environment, self-development and economy-To obtain theoretical and practical skills for pupils and teachers to carry out Safe Biking Program in their schools-To equip pupils with theoretical and practical Traffic Rules and Safe Biking skills-To give responsibility to school community in Environment-friendly activities to raise awareness on the Environment Issues and Global Warming-To develop pupils’ physical power, self-confidence, responsibility, independence, problem-solving, communicative and competitive skills-To encourage pupils to work and produce together with their schoolmates and with other partner countries’ students using ICT, foreign language, communication and teamwork skills-To enrich teachers’ mutual exchange with partner schools’ teachers to gain new ideas and insights in order to promote Bike2school across Europe.To achieve these objectives, we will organize 3 short term staff training and 2 short term exchange of pupils’ mobilityThroughout short-term staff training, we will gain new insights, exchange best practices to obtain theoretical and practical competence to carry out Safe Biking programs and develop skills of international communication, English and ICT. We will also design the long term plan for sustainable Bike2school programs.During short term pupils’ exchange, our pupils will experience working and enjoying in multicultural social settings with their international friends. Participating in activities like ice-breaking, repair bike, Bike rodeo, biking crafts with recycled materials, cleaning up activity will help them feel as part of European union, be open-minded and give up prejudice, become more tolerant among nations.We plan to have regular assessment procedures to ensure that the project objectives and results are achieved:1) MOBILITY HABITS SURVEY2) PRE/POST TEST 3) FEEDBACK GATHERED AT WORKSHOP/PARENTS MEETING4) EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE at the end of training & exchanges5) COMMENTS of the visitors and followers on social media (Facebook&Instagram) 6) OUTPUTS/PRODUCTS such as like Safe Biking Handbook, Bike Policy Agreement, 2 Newsletters, Project website, 2 short-length films, Etwinning Project, Safety Memory Game, 2021 Calendar, Logo, Mascot, Bicycle parking, (Bicycle Storage), Cycling Road signs, Local Map, Safe Routes, Recycled Rubbish bin for Bikers, Bicycle Drawings on school garden walls and/or rubbish bins, Strategic Long term Plan for Biking2school Program will be valuable tools for our formative and summative evaluation.7) MONTHLY DIARY of STUDENTS BIKING2SCHOOL8) PERFORMANCE in SPECIAL EVENTS and INTERNATIONAL MOBILITYThe EXPECTED RESULTS of our Project:The physical activity of pupils will increase via Biking. School community will be more conscious about Benefits of Biking regarding Health, Self-development, Economy and Environment. Skills and Knowledge of school community will enhance about Traffic Rules, Road Signs, Bicycles and Safe Biking. There will be increase in the public opinion about Environment Issues and Global warming. Pupils will become more independent, self-confident, responsible, creative, communicative, problem solver, powerful. Pupils will develop their ICT, foreign language, international friendship skills and knowledge about other cultures. School and local community will feel themselves as part of the European Community. Teaching staff will be more qualified in ICT, English and communication skills by working online platforms and attending mobility. Partner schools will motivate other schools to join international projects in their local areas.

"All beings belong to nature and as human beings we are just a part of the nature.But we tend to consume more than we need and we destroy nature and its resources.The desire of excessive production and excessive consuming of human being and the destruction of nature and natural resources because of this desire made us to create our project called “I Am Being an Ecological Person” .The international term of destruction that we give to nature is ""Ecological Footprint"" that means deficit between the amount of natural sources and the world can supply it.Objectivies of the project were shaped under the title of 3Rs(Reducing-Reusing-Recycling).So the project is composed of the activities which are all about those titles.Our project presented us unique opportunities to reach the project results recognizing and experiencing nature and natural resources, principles and practices of the ecological living for sustainability,eco friendly behaviours,what ecological footprint is and its effects on the nature clearly so discoviring the ways of reducing our ecological footprint and living in harmony with nature and understanding the importance of renewable energy sources for the environmental sustainability and development under these objectives; to increase ecological awareness and sensitivity,improve ecological literacy, raise the awareness of destruction that we give to the nature and natural resources,instruct their essential needs our pupils and to make them conscious of consuming how much they need,show them the principles of ecological living,encourage our pupils about being an ecological person, ensure the pupils discover the ways of reducing individual ecological footprint in order to contribute a sustainable life,create cultural interaction among the pupils that will change and enlighten their viewpoint of the world,strengthen the feeling of team spirit and collaboration,improve the speaking skills of foreign languages of pupils and teachers.The project carried out with pupils aged between 10-15 and teachers from 4 countries,Turkey, Croatia, Greece and Poland.Four LTTs and three TPMs took place.

"Le développement du citoyen de demain et qui plus est d’un citoyen européen est l’un des enjeux majeurs de l’éducation.Cet enseignement peut revêtir différents aspects comme prendre soin de son corps, de son esprit mais aussi de l’environnement qui nous entoure.Comment aider des élèves, faisant partie d'un réseau éducatif prioritaire, qui deviennent de plus en plus sédentaires de par leur usage excessif des jeux vidéos mais aussi de par cette ""fracture sociale » qui ne permet pas à tous de disposer du même apport culturel ?Cette construction du citoyen commence donc par une ouverture aux autres. C’est pourquoi ce projet, HMBE, a été bâti autour d’une volonté de confronter élèves enseignants et familles à divers horizons tant culturels que géographiques. Ainsi ce projet regroupe une école française, une école croate, une école espagnole, une école grecque et une école lettone. Elles possèdent toutes un profil différent en termes de public, de situation et de taille. Le but sera de collaborer tous ensemble pour améliorer son quotidien et celui des autres tout en s’enrichissant culturellement et physiquement en apprenant de nos différences mais aussi de nos points communs. Le projet s’articulera autour de projets Etwinning existants mais aussi d’activités mises en place dans les différentes écoles.Les objectifs sont les suivants :Pour les élèves :-Ouvrir les élèves au monde extérieur : apprendre de nos différences et de nos particularités mais surtout apprendre de nos similitudes pour mieux comprendre l'autre.-Enrichir son esprit et prendre soin de son corps : développer des compétences de recherches, de dépassement de soi, de respect, de construction de sa personnalité, du futur adulte et du citoyen.-Acquérir des connaissances sur les pays qui nous entourent mais aussi sur tous les thèmes abordés par le projet.-Donner du sens aux apprentissages dans une démarche de communication, d’échange de compétences.-Valoriser les élèves qui vont avoir à présenter leur travail et leur expérience au groupe classe mais aussi à l’école et donc favoriser l’écoute des autres.Pour les enseignants :-Travailler en collaboration pour l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre du projet.-Les pays et les écoles étant choisis dans le but d’offrir un large panel (école de ville, école de campagne, école du sud, du nord de l’Europe, grosses structures…), cela va permettre aux enseignants d’être confrontés à d’autres démarches pédagogiques ou organisationnelles, de se nourrir des pratiques européennes.-Échanger pour adapter des pratiques pédagogiques observées chez les différents partenaires à nos contextes spécifiques, des organisations à nos écoles respectives. Cet échange pourrait même être élargi lors d'un forum annuel enseignant. Côté français, un tel forum existe sur notre circonscription regroupant 53 écoles et 288 enseignants. Cela permettrait de donner lieu à une démarche réflexive collective, à une adaptation ou une transposition. Pour les parents d’élèves :-Créer une dynamique d’école au sein de la famille qui va être partie prenante dans ce projet étant donné qu’elle envoie ses enfants, va recevoir des élèves, va participer aux différents challenges proposés et à la restitution du projetEntre le travail via la plateforme, les mobilités permettront un contact direct avec les différentes cultures et seront prétexte à des échanges d’expériences et de réinvestissements dans le cadre scolaire mais aussi au sein des familles.Ces échanges seront l’occasion également de tisser des liens avec des partenaires locaux (USEP qui sera notre porteur financier et contribuera au rayonnement du projet, Associations environnementales, de santé…)En plus de l’engagement et l’accompagnement de l’Europe dans de tels projets, cette dynamique devra être mise en valeur grâce aux moyens à disposition (Etwinning, presse locale, expositions…) afin de rendre compte du travail fourni par les différentes écoles mais aussi afin de promouvoir les valeurs développées dans le projet au-delà du cercle scolaire montrant ainsi le sens et l’impact des apprentissages."

The Motto of the Project “Our goal is to reconcile the economy with our planet, to reconcile the way we produce, the way we consume, with our planet and to make it work for our people”Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European CommissionClimate Action is the 13th goal of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Goals are set by the United Nations as part the Development 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Launched in 2015 they have been adopted by 193 countries.As all countries in the world are impacted by the destructive effects of climate change and we must all take an action.According to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) latest report,Europe will not achieve its 2030 goals without urgent action during the next 10 years to address the alarming rate of biodiversity loss, increasing impacts of climate change and the overconsumption of natural resources. It’s facing environmental challenges of unprecedented scale and urgency.Pupils of today are the adults of tomorrow and most likely to experience the effects of climate change.That is why it is imperative to learn to live sustainably in order to counteract climate change and other environmental challenges.Students will develop their competences in science, technology, and engineering.These will help them to understand the changes caused by human activity and teach them about the responsibility they have as individual citizens.Learning about citizenship competences and the ability to act as responsible citizens and fully participate in civic and social life will also be one of our objectivesThe Objectives of the Project:-Gaining greater awareness of sustainable development and making use of concrete tools to implement the real use of good practices in all educational-teaching activities, thereby ensuring the social equality- To reduce early school leaving rates (nearly %17) in the communities and make it (% 12 )-To promote social inclusion, diversity and non discrimination supporting students with migrant backgrounds-To set, critical thinking and creativity, cooperation in science, technology, arts and mathematics (STE(A)M) fields, as well as skills in fields such as climate action-To investigate the issue of climate change through discussion, experimentation and observation -To make students more aware and active about a big issue such as the climate changeThe project will last 2 years and involves schools from 2 schools from Italy, Romania,Poland, Crotia, and Turkey.Most of pupils who will take part in this project are with fewer opportunities and face problems such as economic obstacles,cultural differences, disabilities ,health problems.We will perform the activities with students aged 13 to 16 years old to achieve the objectives of the project.The pupils will work actively on the project, but the whole school community will be involved in it.We will stem from the Traditional Teaching and Learning tecniques and use Innovative tecniques which be inspired from MultipleIntelligence Theory Pupils and teachers will collaborate and investigate innovative ways of learning and teaching such as PBL and STEM.Teachers will be promoters of social integration and inclusion of disadvantaged students.They will be able to propose viable strategies for building a better future for students,without segragation and unconfidence,Using 3 axes as imperatives of new century: Learning from anywhere and Learning during all life time, Learning for ALL.We will also constitute a comissions to eliminate participants in mobilities, to monitor, evaluate the project activities and to disseminate the results and to control the budget.The Time Schedule of the Project:1st Mobility Turkey February 2021 /5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partner2nd Mobility in Crotia May 2021 /5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partner3rd Mobility in Poland September 2021 /5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partner4th Mobility in Italy November 2021 / 5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partner5th Mobility in Romania February 2022 /5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partner6th Mobility in Italy June 2022 / 5 Pupils 2 teachers from each partnerEXPECTED INTANGIBLE RESULTSAll participants will be more conscious about innovative teaching and learning tecniques, each partner country's education system ,STEM activities,Enviromental Campaigns.It will contribute better cultural and educational understanding.Students will broaden their linguistic competence ,digital and communication skills and have international friendship.Students at risk of dropout will improve their school marks and participation in classes (in terms of qualifications and number of absence)EXPECTED TANGIBLE RESULTS12 Leaflets1 Guide Book2022 Calendar6 Lesson Plans6 Green StoriesE-Green DictionaryAll the project activity will be based on combatting Climate Change with a multidisciplinary approach organized around indoor/outdoor activitiesand peer-learning sessions in a cooperative transnational working atmosphere.
