This is an education project mainly focused on “IMPROVING BOOK READING, TRASNFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES” and leading our students to read more, to be active more by participating in Arts, ICT, Media, Literary, Social and Volunteering activities. So its move is “ READING”. It is developed by participation of schools from Europe Union.Whenever you read a book, you learn a new information that otherwise would not have known. Studies have shown that reading has strong positive effects on the brain. Every time people read a book, you have to remember the setting of the book, the characters, their backgrounds, their history, their personalities, the sub-plots and so much more. As your brain learns to remember all this, your memory becomes better. Reading has a positive effect on the body as well. Reading a bookcan relieve stress better than taking a walk or listening to music. The more people read, the more imaginative they become.Whenever children read a fiction book, it takes them another world. One of the primary benefits of reading books is its ability to develop critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are crucial when it comes to making important day to day decisions. Reading improves children vocabulary and command on the language. As they read, they come across new words, idioms, new words, phrases and writing styles.OBJECTIVESThe completion of the project will lead our students to read more, to be active more by participating in Arts, ICT, Media, Literary, Social and Volunteering activities. Our students will be active readers and they will gain skills for how to transform a book into their own products. We will struggle to make books important again since the books are the true source for true information. The project will promote to have better literary pleasure, to face with arts and to recognise cultural treasurebetween our studentsACTIVITIESThe project include two types of action. On the one side students will read books (NOVELS, PHILOSOPHY, POETRY, BIOGRAPHY) on the other side they will develop activities such as SCENARIO, WRITING ESSAYS, CREATING POETRY MAGAZINE. Every partner will read on their own national books and when they come together in the LTTA meetings, they will meet them together and produce their activities together. Activities and products will be multi national.METHEDOLOGYAfter the beginning of the project, we will set up project clubs in the schools and will announce the students to join the club. Minimum 50 students will be involved. These 50 students will be divided into 5 teams as; Literature Team, ICT teams, Culture Team, Magazine Team, Arts Team. These team will be given tasks for a curtain duration regards to stages and activities of the project. All teams will work and support the main body of the project under supervision the teachers. There are 5 L/T/T/A in two years. Teachers will lead the students to join all kind of activities (Book reading, Creation of scenario, magazine, taking short movie; etc./ the usual side activities like; preparing Erasmus+ corner, taking photos and videos to put into digital monitor, logo contest, joining seminars, preparing traveler manuals, etc. )PARTICIPANTOur project is prepared mainly for the students and all the stages are designed for them. Teachers are added into as supervisor and beneficiaries. Administrative staff are the other participants. Parents and local community will be the side beneficiaries since they will be the target group of while we are disseminating our project activities, outputs and results.IMPACTAn important impact will be provided to the participant by the project, direct and indirectly. The possibility to be in direct contact with students and teachers from other countries and especially working together for reaching common goals will lead to positive changes within institutions involved.

Since the world we live in has been undergoing significant changes lately especially in respect with the environment the objective of our project is to draw attention to the problems with water. The globalized world has become very vulnerable place in some respect. The water is a very good example of an element that does not respect any borders or frontiers and thus is a very good issue to be tackled in an international cooperative team of schools from different European countries. The Erasmus + project seems to be a perfect idea to try to teach and to learn young students to understand that the “globalized world” is a place with “globalised problems” which cannot be solved within the borders of one country, but an international cooperation is necessary. We are schools and we should not only provide our students with encyclopaedical knowledge but mainly with skills and competencies which will enable them to successfully live in the upcoming globalised world and to be able to solve its problems. That is how the project “Water for us - we for water” started.The objectives of the project are several. First of all, as we mentioned above, we want to draw attention to one of the most appealing problems of today’s world and it is environment and its problems with water. Another objective is to show students that communication and cooperation within the European region is necessary for the future problem solving and thus good communication and language skills are needed not only for fulfilling the school tasks but for real life situations. The world communication has changed greatly thanks to the Internet. The project teaches the students to use the tools of the virtual world meaningfully and enables the students to improve their ICT skills for better presentation of their work and communication with special focus on safe use of the Internet.The project will involve all the students of our school, the project tasks will cover wide range of activities so there will be opportunity to join and enjoy the project for all. It means the students with different approach to school duties and different results in the school process. We want to motivate less and more gifted students, students with specific educational needs, students of all ages from the first graders to the ninth-grade students for cooperation, students from economically weaker and economically richer families, immigrants and native citizens, children, and teachers of different interests and talents. All the project activities aim to show the importance of sustainable management of water for our future. The variety of the project activities is very wide-some activities show the power hidden in the element of water, some show the beneficial influence of the water presence in our environment, some show water as a natural environment for animals etc. All the project activities lead to one aim, to acquaint students with water more closely - because the first step for being able to protect water is to know water very well. It also shows the students the problems and encourages them to take some action to use their critical thinking to search some solutions. We want the students to realize they have the power and the ability to make changes for our better future and their success in their professional and personal life in the world of work. It can influence the future economic prosperity of our students, region, Europe. It will be our contribution to job creation, economic growth and it should help to avoid the early school leaving.Since the activities are mainly cross curricular they will be done in various school lessons and the written outcomes and communication will be done in English lessons, which will lead to improving students ́ language knowledge. The cooperation and interconnection of students and teachers in schools and among the partner schools, involving other family members, local authorities, specialists will be a contribution to social cohesion and developing the awareness of the necessity of dealing with the environmental problems as a value of modern responsible citizenship necessary for sustainable European environment. The whole project process will influence the social cohesion.The project will be open for all teachers who find the topic applicable in their own lessons. Mobilities will be for children 11-14 years old and well linguistically prepared. In each mobility the activities will be completely guided by the host but aiming to the whole project objectives. Each country will present their own activities introducing water in their region with some specific aspects typical for the given region. It will help the students realise and understand the differences of the regions but also the things the regions have in common and also the global impact of local actions will be clearly seen. We hope it will change the student’s attitude towards water for the rest of their lives.

"""Let's Read: A Reading Promotion Programme Through Gamification"" arises from a need, which is to develop a reading plan that encourages reading for pleasure for students increasingly reluctant to read both in their native language and in second language.Today's teenagers prefer other leisure and free time activities, such as video games or even board games, so it is necessary to define methods of reading promotion that use the techniques that stimulate the loyalty of these games and incorporate them in the curriculum for the development of reading. This is gamification, to introduce techniques and dynamics of games into non-ludic contexts, such as education.Therefore the main objective of our project is to promote reading in students, in order to develop their creativity, critical and divergent thinking, prevent failure and school dropout and at the same time to do so through an international project that allows us to share good practices on reading promotion with other schools in Europe, learning to work in teams in international contexts and developing active citizenship and a sense of belonging to a united Europe.During the next two years, we will analyze the different elements of gamification, starting from the ""narratives"" which are the context stories in which the different gamified activities are inserted, the types of players, the reward systems, and the dynamics. At each mobility, in which 5 students from each country will participate, together with the host students, we will focus on one of these elements, and using design-thinking as the work methodology, we will design our own gamified reading program based on the interest of the students. These dynamics will be put into practice in different countries upon completion of the mobilities.The local activities, in which some 2000 students will participate, are focused on working, with the techniques that result from the mobilities, different literary works that are being studied in the different countries or books that the students decide to read on their own, both in native or in second language, through fun dynamics such as booktubers, podcasts, thematic nights, webquests, the reading snake, etc, as well as activities to get to know each other and establish links such as videoconferences or competitions.At the end of the project we will have developed, thanks to the work and starting from the interest of the students, a programme of reading promotion using gamification techniques that will have served to encourage interest in the reading of the students participating in the project, not only of the participants in the mobilities, but also of all students from the educational levels where the project has been implemented.When performed internationally our students will have worked in teams, known other cultures through activities such as videoconferences or webquests, created videos, podcasts, etc., using English as a language of communication, so they will also have developed their communicative competence in English, apart from social and interpersonal skills.Our project wants to endure over time and be used not only in our schools in subsequent years, but also in all those schools throughout Europe which want to implement a model similar to ours, based on gamification, to make reading an activity fun, entertaining, social and dynamic."

""" PUT ME IN A FAIRY TALE "" project aims to be an education project predominately centered on “ENHANCING BOOK READING, CHANGING INTO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES” and taking students to read much more, to be more active through their participation in different activities such as ICT, Arts, Literary, Media, Social and Volunteering. Its main move is “ACTIVE AND EDUCATED CITIZENSHIP”. This partnership is developed by schools from ES, SK, IT, RO, TR According to a research made by American Academy of Art&Science, that made an international comparison of percentage of Adult and Teen “include people ages 14–64. Books read were for pleasure, not for work or school”, population having read at least one book in the previous 12 months; The IT: 64%; SK: 56%; ES: 54%; RO: 54%; TR: 21%.OBJECTIVESOur students will become active readers and they will improve their skills on how to create their own quality products from the books they have read. We will endeavor to make books more important again since they are a vital source for real information. With this project, we will manage to increase the amount of reading books in our schools’ curricula. With the project we will decrease the lack of book reading and increase the average level of book reading in our schools’ curricula.ACTIVITIESTwo types of action are included in this project.-Students will read different kinds of books such as Novels, Poetry, Biographies, Philosophy.-They will improve their literacy levels and will develop activities such as SCENARIO, writing essays, creating a poetry magazine, filming and editing short FILMs. Each partner will read their own national authors and, when they come together in the LTTA meetings, they will share them and produce their activities together.METHODOLOGYWe will create project clubs in each partner school and will invite the students to join the club. A minimum of fifty students will be involved. Five different teams will be formed: Literature Team, ICT Team, Culture Team, Magazine Team, Arts Team. Each team will have tasks for a certain period of time regarding the different planned stages and activities of the project. There are four LTTAs in two years and 1TM at the beginning of the project. Teachers will involve the students in order to do all kinds of activities (book reading, creation of scenario, magazine, making short FILMs, etc)PARTICIPANTSIn the project, students are our main target and its stages are planned for them. Teachers are coaches and beneficiaries in this whole process. Other participants included are the administrative staff. Side beneficiaries of the project are parents and local community as they will be our main target groups for dissemination.IMPACTThe project "" PUT ME IN A FAIRY TALE "" will have a positive impact within all the partner schools not only due to the direct contact and collaborative work among students and teachers from different countries, but also because of the shared good practices concerning reading books. This good practices sharing will take students to read much more, to be more active through their participation in different activities in the classroom as well as in cultural activities in the localcommunity.StudentsGetting students involved in a wide range of activities – book reading, designing and creating book, magazine, taking scenario and writing essays – will help them develop new skills and make them more active in their daily life at school, at home and in their local communities, allowing them to raise learning processes as well promoting socio-cultural heritage through books. Students will develop and boost their self-esteem as they will be appreciated in international contexts by participating in LTTAs workshops that will stimulate creativity and, at the same time, will help them reduce stereotypes and prejudice. Team work and ICT skills will be developed, making students prepared for the future labour market and their lives. Having the possibility to organize an international brainstorming will increase students’ dynamism, citizenship, respect, responsibility and courage to act as future leaders and as active citizens in their communities, in their own countries and all over Europe. By preparing presentations about the books they read, their school, local community and country and making videos to disseminate the mobilities, they will be able to developtheir public speaking skills and communication in English.TeachersTeachers will have the opportunity to share professional and cultural experiences by organizing school activities, local activities and international meetings (LTTAs) within the project. They will be able to explore and learn about other educational systems, pedagogical and methodological approaches and tools concerning teaching reading, according to the European standards in line withthe Organisation for European Cooperation and Development (OECD)."

"Currently, different cultures, nations, social groups, individuals, without mutual tolerance face each other on the basis of intolerance and can simply destroy each other. Tolerance in the modern world is an absolutely practical condition for survival. The central theme of the project is to draw attention to the danger of enmity in the modern world.We will promote the rapprochement of young people with the help of the art and history. Studying historical events, we have concluded that if people`s attitude were different, we could avoid wars, terrorism, persecution, insults, etc. At the same time, it is very important that people are able to define the limits of tolerance. It is impossible to remain tolerant if someone is doing injustice near you. That`s what history teaches us. That's why we would like to conduct this project, which will help at least some youngsters to think about the danger of hostility Art has always been a way to bring people together, make them think about the importance and value of peace and harmony.In all school communities that will take part in the partnership there is a large number of students who are in a situation where the development of tolerance is very vital for them. (religious aspect, financial difficulties, different nationalities live in their places,historical background)Our objectives:Project objectives:1. To show the danger of intolerance based on historical events in the partner countries and the world.2. To attract the attention of a large youth audience to the need for unanimity and consent with the help of different kinds of art.3. Create of a non-boring technique to strengthen values such as tolerance and mutual understanding.4. Bring up the respect for the values (religious, ethnic, personal) of other people5. Develop cooperation and rapprochement of young people from different countriesThere is a close relationship between activities in schools and the transnational meetings. The theme or the activity (kind of art) which will be the main at the meeting of partners first is developed in each school. For example, before the creation of a common theatrical performance, each school has its own theater festival on the theme of tolerance.We will use active methods:Objective 1Method: We will use the method of “Living library”. People will become books at this event. The aim is to raise awareness of different social groups that are often prejudiced. Books can be of various subjects: religious and moral beliefs, unusual professions or hobbies, special needs, ethnic minorities, etc. Living Books are willing to tell their story in an open, honest and positive dialogue with the readers-participants of the project. This will allow you to cultivate respect for people with different values. visiting of museums, organization of Tolerance Day Objective 2Method: Street-art festival, creation of the portfolio and photo gallery etcObjective 3Method: projects on the eTwinning platform, creation of comic book, Atlas and etcObjective 4Method: national games, presentation of the country. workshops in the technique of recycling and etcObjective 5Method: We will organize creative laboratories and workshops connected with street art and making the design objects in the recycling style. It will give us better understanding of people with different values and mentality. In addition, it will help to educate active and conscious citizens who can positively influence upon others. The volunteer action during each meeting will have the same purpose.- Holding a dance festival (based on folk dances) will give better understanding of the mentality of different people. 6 transnational meetings:Turkey. Topic: “All different - all equal.“Greece. Topic: „History unites”Slovakia. Topic ""See your possibilities""Bulgaria. Topic: “Getting to know each other for a better world.”Italy.
