"STEM#4TeenGirls is a partnership program KA229 aimed to support women careers in science, technology, engineering and maths fields. The project will use eTwinning in combination with physical mobility to create richer exchanges between pupils and teachers from different countries (Italy, Czech Republic, Spain). One of the stereotypes in European Education Systems is that women aren’t good in STEMs; which leads to a gender gap both within educational paths, both in the orientation choices about future and career.The project aims: to break stereotypes about Girls in STEMs; to promote social inclusion (horizontal priority) by education and training activities that can really reduce disparities in women learning (Gender Gap in STEM fields).CEFA schools in Rome, Základní škola in mateřská škola Parentes in Prague and Arangoya Educational Center in Bilbao planned two-years for mobility activities (time and virtual), aimed at motivating and enhancing Teen Girls education in technical-scientific fields, to go beyond STEM gender stereotypes and to promote gender equality. To achieve that, a virtuous circle of exchanges and experimentations of new practices are necessary from primary school. Good practices and planned activities take advantages from other European experiences about this very specific field.We will build on results of Erasmus projects in which other Countries cooperated or are cooperating to analyse causes of women's lack in STEM careers (eg Girls Tech, Erasmus + KA2). From these results, our teachers's experience and creativity develop specific activities plans for different target groups.STEM#4TeenGirls activity plan aims to:- Improve opportunities and participation of girls 11-16 years old in the STEM curriculum.- Share good practices on STEMs and develop new ones, based on ""Teaching strategies to engage females in STEM""; promoting the born of a specific STE(A)M curriculum in participating institutions school plan.- Improve English learning and communicative competences in L2, by exchange experiences and transnational collaborative projects aimed to develop a final product. Particular emphasis will be given to structured Content and Language Integrated Learning paths (CLIL & STEAM).- Strength the respect of each other, taking part in experiences in international contexts, aimed at acquiring social, civic and intercultural competences.Over a period of 24 months, different groups of beneficiary students will be involved in several activities, in some of which students develops products:- a promo video (Isn't She STEM?)- 2 STEM Project-Works, carried out by national and transnational groups (topics will be SPEED and LIGHT)- a project-calendar- Project logo- InfoGraphic about the project.Furthermore, all participants (students, families, teachers, staff) will be engaged in:- eTwinning activities for presentation, orientation, communication, cooperation, evaluation and self-evaluation.- Short-term international exchanges of groups of pupils.- National coordination meetings and transnational coordination activities among partner schools teachers.- Cultural meetings with parents (She CAN be STEM!)- Meetings and interviews to women who are in a STEM career.- Final conference of the project and dissemination of the results.The main beneficiaries of the project are students from Parentes and Petranova (aged between 11 and 14 years); students of Arangoya secondary school (15-17 years) and their teachers. Many adolescent girls are involved in the project: female presence is guaranteed by the homogeneous classes at Petranova and Arangoya. Kindergarten and primary school students at Parentes and CEFA will benefit from good practices for implementing ""STEAM in English: vertical curriculum"" (age 3-11) and will take part in the dissemination activities. Every partner school will involve families in meetings to talk about Women in STEM fields."

This action supports physical and blended mobility of higher education students and staff from EU Member States and third countries associated to Erasmus+ to any country in the world. Students in all study fields and cycles can take part in a study period or traineeship abroad. Higher education teaching and administrative staff can take part in professional development activities abroad, as well as staff from the field of work in order to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.

"AICE-IZEA is an association, created in 1984,of official private centres from the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. AICE-IZEA is made up of 42 Educational Institutions, teaching at every compulsory level, as well as in Technical and Vocational, Occupational and Further Training. AICE-IZEA association is a member of The Spanish Confederation of Teaching Centres (CECE) and, through them, member of EFVET, European Forum of Technical and Vocational Education and Training. During the 2007- 2013 period the Consortium has developed Mobilities for High Degree Students who wanted to do their internships in other countries of the program. Through the project developed in the 2014 Call, AICE- IZEA has increased its participation in the ERASMUS + programme, including teaching and training mobilities for the staff. Within the objectives of the project, we highlight INTERNATIONALIZATION. INTERNATIONALIZATION is marked as one of the strategic objectives of the Action Plan of the AICE-IZEA Consortium and it has been achieved through the following activities that we have carried out in the 2015 Call: - The number of associated schools that have the ERASMUS Charter has increased.THE EXTENSION OF THE MOBILITY PROJECT 2015, a total of 45 mobilities were managed, which meant an INCREASE OF 58% OF MOBILITIES compared to 2014.In the 2016 Call, the objective was to maintain or expand the number of mobilities of the previous project but this situation did not materialize.In the 2016 Call, A total of 16 people have participated. The boost of INTERNATIONALIZATION has had results in the following objectives: - Promote the competencial and attitudinal abilities of the pupils and the staff of our associated schools. - Offer a quality education to students, and ultimately, to society. Hereafter, we indicate a description of the number and the profile of the participants: In the Student´s Mobilities to do internships in a country of the programme, 14 pupils have taken part who were learning the 2º course of a High Degree of different kind of studies. All of them were at their second year of different higher level training cycles. Over a period of 12 weeks, they have had the opportunity to put into practice and increase the abilities and attitudes acquired during their studies. With reference to the Staff Mobilities, 2 members of different schools have participated and they have carried out a ""Job shadowing"" or a training activity and through this one they have had the opportunity to increase their knowledge about other educative systems, other quality systems in the educational field, other training management systems and new methodologies of teaching andlearning. Finally, we can sum up that in the 2015 Call, 43 people have participated, 16 pupils and 27 staff members of different schools. THE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT - IMPACT ON THE CONSORTIUM: The project has had a positive impact because it has contributed to the Consortium´s INTERNATIONALIZATION, activity that is contemplated in its Action Plan. We detect the following benefits: - The project´s magnitude in relation to the previous calls has increased. - The relations between companies, institutions and participating schools have increased and strengthened. - The institutions involved have exchanged impressions, good practices and experiences. - The institutions have proposed future collaborations in the present project and in other kind of interesting educational projects. - IMPACT ON THE PUPILS: The project has contributed to their professional and personal development, it has contributed to their employability and their linguistic skills, and it has also encouraged team work and an improvement of their CV. - IMPACT ON THE STAFF OF THE ASSOCIATED SCHOOLS: The impact has been positive because this one has contributed to their personal and professional development. The project has achieved that the staff have become involved and has stimulated the importance of the further training. It has also created the opportunity to carry out activities based on good practices, exchange of knowledge, teaching materials and teaching - learning methodologies among the staff of different institutions. The project has contributed to improve their cultural and linguistic skills. - IMPACT ON SOCIETY: The activities developed benefit our society to be more competitive to face the challenges that appear both in the personal and professional life."

Our project for the period 2014-16 within the Erasmus + program consisted on mobility activities for student practices among program countries (2 participants) and activities for training staff mobility between countries in the program (1 participant).2 mobility activities for student practices have been carried out in a school in Rome (Italy) for a period of 3 months. The students have participated very satisfactorily in the planning, development and evaluation of the different activities of educational intervention and social care according to the different ages and according to a proposed didactic model. Parallelly and during this period, they have been able, not only to acquire practical knowledge of the language but to practice and learn routines and habits of another culture that can expand their own too.The mobility activity for staff training was carried out at an educational center in London (UK) and consisted on a 4 day stay in which the member staff could delved into the operation of another education system and learning new procedures that could improve the quality of education in our center. This activity was also aimed at establishing new ties that favor synergies and future collaboration and also the improvement of our center in its internationalization.
