"The project ""Challenge 21st Century Competences"" lasted three years (from 2016 to 2019). The school coordinator was Primary school Bistrica ob Sotli from Slovenia. First primary school Varaždin from Croatia participated in the project as a partner school. Within this three-year project teams of teachers have developed their ICT competences and became familiar with the theory and practice of using ICT in education. The main objective of this project was to enable as many teachers as possible for quality integration of ICT into lessons to become competent teachers of 21st century. Our target group were Slovenian and Croatian teachers.Teachers who actively participated in the project further motivated all interested teachers and taught them about the use of new technologies in working with students. The results of the project were presented at CARNet and MIPRO conferences. Practical presentations in the form of workshops were carried out for neighbouring schools. All of these activities can be found on the project website http://slo-erasmus-osbos.splet.arnes.si/, as well as on the eTwinning platform, which allows all interested teachers to view materials, photos and examples of good practice. The project has also attracted a lot of media interest, so we think it is well known in both countries. The indirect participants in this project were also students, who have been using new technologies for their work. Following the evaluation, it has emerged that modern technology contributes greatly to the quality of educational work. During the implementation of the project activities, students showed greater interest in ICT-supported lessons and were more motivated to learn. In order to make it easier for all teachers to use ICT and to benefit from the results of this project at each school in the long term, we have prepared a manual in Slovenian and Croatian, which contains all three training modules with very detailed instructions. This guide was also published by Profil Klett for Croatia and Rokus Klett for Slovenia because they recognized its potential. The mentioned manuals and the results of all project activities were presented at the final international conference in Varaždin, which was attended by school principals, teachers and representatives of local authorities in addition to project groups. The project coordinator monitored all team members, recording each activity in their work with students and making sure that the documentation, requested by CMEPIUS, was kept. Communication and collaboration with partners were smooth and new friendships developed among teachers, parents and students. As a result of this project, our school was highlighted at the CMEPIUS consultation in Laško in September 2019 as a positive example of good practice where teachers themselves are trying to achieve changes in education, which is just another indicator of successful implementation of this project."

"Our project 'Feel the Four Seasons Beyond the Walls' was based on outdoor learning which is also supported education method by the Ministries of Education. 'Outdoor learning' is a known and popular method in the 21st century.Its necessity and inevitable efficiency on learning is accepted with good works and samples.It absolutely provides well-performing education . We designed a strategic partnership project about learning outside the classroom by strengthening educational ties with European schools. We were seven partner schools coming together on the e-twinning platform : 24th Primary School Volos (Volos,GREECE) as the coordinator school, Osnovno uchilishte Hristo Smirnenski (Rakovski,BULGARIA), Osnovna skola Bilje (Bilje/CROATIA), I.C.Sant'Elia-Commenda (Brindisi,ITALY), Ecole Privée La Chapelle Janson (La Chapelle Janson,FRANCE), , C.P. Santa Catlina (El Pinos,SPAIN),Zubeyde Hanım Ucler Ilkokulu (Amasya,TURKEY).We studied with the students aged between 8-12 throughout the project as the primary schools.We defined the following main objectives for our project: -During the 24 months of our project,more than 600 students were involved in common,interactive and attractive project activities using modern ICT tools in formal/informal contexts, in cooperation with 40 teachers.3000 participants were involved to our project indirectly. -Learning about the properties of four seasons,their effects to our lifestyles,observing the changes of 'Flora' in the nature step by step in different parts of Europe. - Observing biological and endemic diversity and their extensions and making people aware of the importance of them. -Gaining environmental consciousness,respect to the nature,learning and acting more for protecting the elements of the nature and having idea about global environmental problems and their solutions. -Teachers strenghtened educational ties with the European partners, getting to understand the school systems better and get common vocabulary while exchanging good practices.-Ensuring a definite participation of the refugee students at the partner schools to adopt them the environment that they live in.We had three transnational meetings at the partner schools;in Greece,in November,2017 (as the kick off meeting),in Spain,in October,2018 (as the intermediary evaluation meeting),in France,in May,2019 (as the final meeting).Four partner schools located in different parts of Europe were assigned to LTT activities because of having advantages,strengths, experiences and good samples about the project subject.The common duration for these LTT activities is 5 days + 2 days for traveling for each country.C1 in Bulgaria (February,2018) and C4 in Italy (March,2019)were short-term joint staff training events for 12 teachers (2 from each country for each activity). C2 in Croatia (May,2018) and C3 in Turkey (December,2019) were short-term exchanges of groups of pupils for 26 students and 12 teachers as accompanying persons for each activity.Learning outside the classroom is not a new teaching methodology but by our project we would like to add more outdoor activities in our curriculum to make learning more enjoyable and permanent.In the first year of the project,we had outdoor activities to observe the nature especially the flora in the four seasons.In the second year of the project,we prepared,presented and perfomed the experiences by the help of the well-designed project activities such as four seasons musical and exhibiton,e-flora album-e-story book about four seasons.We also planned dissemination activities in local,regional,national areas and in Europe for providing expandation of our project by meetings,local press and media,information-communication technologies such as project website. The relationships with the relevant stakeholders also helped us for community awareness. Dissemination locally and globally helped us to improve our friendship. Sharing experiences and knowledge made them enlarge for the benefit of our children and European society. Integrating teaching techniques such as ""learning outside the classrooms"" to our curriculum was an important gain of our project."

<< Objectives >>With the implementation of this project, we want to achieve: the development of consciousness about the significance of the preservation and mapping archaeological and historical sights, to improve the international cooperation and to encourage particiants to develop their skills outside of the institution they work or learn, teach the students how to work on the field and give them opportunity to improve their competences.The product of the project will become additional learning tool in future<< Implementation >>Planned activities in this phase are presenting the project to other colleagues and students of both partner schools in the form of a presentation. We plan to introduce the local community with our results in the form of a public conference, and possible visits to the local radio and TV stations. The product of the project, the Digital guide, will be visible to the public on the websites of both schools and the museum. The public will be informed about the project on social media.<< Results >>We expect that the skills of the teachers and the students will be upgraded and expanded. We also expect the higher degree of interest from the local community for the preservation of archaeological and historical sight, as well as the bigger interest of the public for visiting the museum. Furthermore, the Digital guide will be used by the students of future generations in order to expand their knowledge about the ancient sight in this area.

Accredited projects for mobility of learners and staff are implemented by organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation. Each accredited project represents a step in the implementation of the organisation's long-term Erasmus Plan.

<< Background >>The development plan envisages the need to build and strengthen the European dimension of the School and expand the possibility of performing additional activities that the School carries out outside of regular classes. Additional activities are an important part of the development vision of the School.The School is of the opinion that educators need to be provided with a wide range of training and supplementation and the expansion of the boundaries of existing knowledge, especially in the international environment. By strengthening the operation of the School in the European context, it will be possible to modify traditional teaching methods with modern approaches. Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the capacities and experience of the school's management staff and look for opportunities for other collaborative projects in the European enviroment.<< Objectives >>With this project we want to achieve the following goals:- Strengthening the management skills of management staff- Strengthening and innovating pedagogical competencies and methods of teaching teachers- Strengthening the professional competencies of teaching staff to work with students with special needsThese goals are in line with our development strategy and we are working on them beyond this project that we are now applying for.<< Implementation >>In the project, we plan to send 8 colleagues on 8 structured courses in different countries on different topics. All participants are part of the project team, while some of them are part of the Quality Team,We will refer classroom teachers and principals to mobility.The courses we have chosen are:Benchmarking Finnish Education SystemIntegrating Creativity and Innovation into TeachingEducational Robotics. Gamifying the Classroom with ArduinoAll children are specialCreativity for the future: promoting Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving in the classroomLearning Through Collaboration and CooperationNew ways of learning developing creativity, motivation and curiositySpice up formal education! - Non-formal education to improve the learners ’motivation.<< Results >>The project aims to achieve the following results:1. The management capacity and management skills of the institution will be significantly strengthened.2. Traditional teaching methods will be modernized and the use of new teaching techniques and IT tools will be increased.3. The professional competencies of the teaching staff for working with students with special needs will be upgraded.
