CAN - Climate Action Now is a two-year-long cross-curricular project with sustainable activities. The curriculum-based project grew out of the identified need to grow and develop a sustainable environment that benefits us in the way it improves the quality and sustainability of life at schools. Certainly, we cannot continue to consume non-renewable Earth's resources at the current rate. The crucial is the need to educate people from a young age.The project brings together teachers and students from six different European countries (Finland, Poland, Portugal, France, Spain and Croatia) in learning to think globally and work on activities that contribute to the community's well-being. Our MAIN AIM is to integrate topics about sustainability throughout the School's curriculum in a holistic manner.For efficiency, we have made a detailed list of monthly activities and equally distribute them among all partners. Activities are divided into FOUR categories:CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVITIES include research and numerous workshops through which students and teachers will get a wider picture of strong connections of human activities and climate change. Some of the activities will include measuring and using the Arduino device. Students will measure the pollutants that are contributing to the cause of global climate change in a very interesting, interactive and engaging way and do it in different EU locations: mountains, plains and seaside, extremely hot, continental climate and ever-cold climate countries, inside glaciers and in the ocean. Students they will also act locally in their schools and homes by reducing plastic and become aware about the presence of a large number of microplastic particles in everyday products. Students and teachers will share their knowledge of how all pollutants are contributing to climate change and how we can save our planet by being responsible from a young age. School and local community AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES are practical activities to make schools more sustainable. They will start with introducing all the participants of the project what awareness campaigns are, how to plan, organize and conduct them. Each team will find workable solutions to reduce their footprints in their daily life based on researches in their schools.As a result, MULTILINGUALISM ACTIVITIES will have cross-curriculum lessons in English that will be part of the curriculum for a new school year. Teachers and students involved in the project will gain a better understanding and respect toward different languages and better see the benefits of the ability to speak multiple languages.Eco newsletter will also be published in English and translated to other languages (French, Spanish, Polish, Finish and Croatian).CULTURAL DIVERSITY ACTIVITIES stimulate interest in European culture, contribute to innovation and creativity. Students and teachers will explore the cultural heritage of included countries and gain a better understanding, accepting and valuing diversities. It will help them thrive in our ever-changing society. Students will play an active role in planning, implementing and reporting the activities by using the latest IT-technology and eTwinning platform. Students and teachers will also have online meetings.Besides activity-based, child-directed learning and peer learning methods, collaborative international teams will work together on Eco newsletter that will reflect our actions. It will be published on the schools' website. THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT is in its activities and actions that accelerate progress towards sustainable development. We hope to change the mindsets of students, parents, teachers and community members involved to become more aware of the importance to take personal responsibility actions. The students will begin changing the world by starting locally, in their school and local environment, and thinking globally.

The MOOS (Mutual Open and Online Skills) project has seen the ideation, implementation and experimentation of a transnational, digital, educational platform and related instruments (Open Education Resources - OER) based on principles of “Open Education” applied to High School. The project title MOOS is inspired to MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and to MOOS (MOOS are a text-based online virtual reality system to which multiple users are connected at the same time).OPEN EDUCATION is one of the greatest challenges for future of learning in fact the European Commission approved a communication based on “Opening up Education” in September 2013 (COM(2013) 654). The Communication sets out a European agenda for stimulating high-quality, innovative ways of learning and teaching through new technologies and digital content. ‘Opening up education' proposes actions towards more open learning environments to deliver education of higher quality and efficacy and thus contributing to the Europe 2020 goals. MOOS project has aimed the approach of the Open Education in European high school and to student inclusion policies by applying the methodology of OER (Open Educational Resources) in the creation, sharing, implementation, and evaluation of digital learning curriculum, through the experimentation of a new generation Web 2.0 and 3.0 for learning innovation.The MOOS objectives have been the following: to improve the use of ICT and the Open Educational Resources in the Curriculum of each high school to stimulate different and new ways of learning; to implement new models and instruments for digital transnational classroom with common Curriculum in some disciplines/courses and the development of digital lessons and educational resources in collaboration with students; to foster the attainment in basic skills and the learning of key competences with digital tools in common (e.g., CLIL methodology) and in different languages (multilingualism); to extend the accessibility of high school courses, especially for disadvantaged students (all courses will be open and on line), as factors to prevent and to reduce early school leaving or as a compensation instrument; to enhance the quality of teaching with the strengthening of teacher competences in the use of OER (specific training for teachers involved in the project) and the change-and-challenge-based profile of new teachers ( the teacher as a tutor and as a mediator). The project partnership is composed of 7 high schools from 7 different EU Countries: 1. Liceo scientifico statale “Galilei” (Pescara, ITALY) – Applicant coordinator2. Täljegymnasiet (Södertälje, SWEDEN)3. Colegio Blanca de Castilla (Burgos, SPAIN)4. Starostwo Powiatowe - Zespół Szkół Ponadgimnazjalnych (Busko – Zdrój, POLAND)5. Berufskolleg am Haspel (Wuppertal, GERMANY)6. Puolimatkan koulu (Hyvinkää, FINLAND)7. The King's School, Ely (Cambridgeshire, UNITED KINGDOM)The activities carried out : 4 transnationl meetings to coordinate the project implementation phases, 5 learning activities for teachers and pupils, 4 activities linked to intellectual outoput (Digital platform for Open Education, Common european digital curriculum, Digital lessons and OER, Paper on Open Education in High School), multiplier events (7 e-Practice National Workshops, 1 European Workshop, a European Final Conference).Innovative forms of pedagogical practice of MOOS encourage learner-centred approaches, group work and participative learning promoting inquiry-based learning, learning-by-doing, problem solving and creativity. Existing and emerging technologies increasingly allow teachers to create pedagogically effective learning activities. The innovativeness of MOOS practices have emergedthanks to teachers' use OER in their efforts to organize newer forms of open-ended, collaborative, and extended learning activities.Results obtained are based on outputs of the activity provided by participants, partners and other stakeholders involved in the dissemination activities: Open educational digital platform, European digital common curriculum, Disciplinary digital courses, Open transnational creative classroom, Training course model for digital teaching.The impact of MOOS has contributed: to create a wide internet learning space based on the interoperability of Open Education Resources between schools, public Authorities and other educational agencies; to empower the capacity of participant schools to work jointly to identify the emerging educational needs and develop innovative solutions to prevent dropout ; to carry out an open education experimentation on a Web 2.0 and a real digital learning service to facilitate the participation and motivation of students at risk.The long term benefits are that new European schools will be engaged to the Open Online Platform , new courses will be uploaded and free for all students and stakeholders.

Sustainability everyone’s responsibility is a two-year long cross-curricular project with sustainable activities. The curriculum-based project grew out of the identified need to grow and develop “sustainable world” that benefits us in the way it improves the quality and sustainability of life at schools. It is certain we cannot continue to consume non-renewable Earth’s resources at the current rate. The crucial is the need to educate people from the young age. The project brings together teachers and students from five different European countries (Finland, Poland, Portugal, France and Croatia) in learning to think globally and work on activities that contribute to the community’s well-being. Our main aim is to integrate topics about sustainability throughout the School's curriculum in a holistic manner. For the purpose of efficiency, we have made a detailed list of monthly activities and equally distribute them among all partners. Activities are divided into 5 categories: Renewable energy activities that include researchers on renewable resources (wind energy, solar energy, geothermal, biomass) and visits to Hydropolis (Polish environmental education center), Museum of water, windmills, geothermal power plant, hydropower, solar house, Aamutuuli (first Finnish daycare center with eco/energy goals Swan label). Each of the partners will introduce the use of one source of renewable energy through different activities. School and local community eco-energy activities are practical activities that will make schools more sustainable. The activities also include awareness campaigns at schools and community. CLIL activities will have as a result cross-curriculum lessons in English that will be the part of the curriculum for a new school year. They will also include job shadowing as two schools of five are already experienced in CLIL method. Design & Technology activities cover hand-on work engaged with a new technology (new ICT tools, Apps, testing different communication programs, making models, brainstorming solutions, making and using VLOGS) Cultural activities stimulate interest in European culture, contributes to innovation and creativity. Students and teachers will explore the cultural heritage of included countries. Students will play the active role in planning, implementing and reporting the activities by using the latest IT-technology and eTwinning platform. Besides activity-based, child-directed learning and peer learning methods, our Finnish partners will introduce us to a method called ryhmäytyminen in Finnish, which means, “Grouping in order to validate the School-culture“. Through it, students and teachers feel the belonging to the entity – not just one class or friend-group. This feeling creates the positive circle of trust and increases the education results. Partners will also build sustainable green walls at schools as well as use web tool GeoGebra to make calculations on how smart grid technologies and using renewable energy can lead schools towards sustainability.
