    "The title of the project is ""ClimA: Be the Change!"" (acronym ABC). The 6 partners involved in it are Romania (coord.), Bulgaria, Cyprus, Portugal, Greece and Italy. All the project members are affected by various aspects of climate change, which led to the idea for the project. It focuses on raising awareness among students about the impact climate changes have in the present and in the long run and engaging students to take a stand against the slow destruction of the planet. The target is to involve a wide variety of participants (students, teachers, parents, local community) to come up with ideas on how to improve the current situation and how to preserve nature in its best state for the following generations. Apart from the scientific aspect of the project, we intend to focus on the artistic side as well, as this would give us the chance to involve more teachers, of various subjects, not just science. The project objectives are as follows: 1.using non-formal education methods throughout the 2 years of project to raise awareness among Ss from the 6 partner schools about the importance of climate change and how it directly impacts people’s everyday lives;2.during each mobility, to encourage 20 Ss from the 5 partner countries, as well as Ss from the host school, to take action and come up with creative and innovative ideas that will help protect the nature and reduce the causes of climate change for future generations;3.during monthly local and international activities spread from Sept 2020 to Feb 2022, to determine approx. 5,000 Ss to realise that every one of them can contribute to the well-being of the planet, even if it is on a small scale;4.throughout the 2 years of project, to involve approx. 100 Ss with fewer opportunities in a wide variety of activities to reduce early school leaving by approx. 30%. The Ss who participate in this project are 12-15 yo. In the mobilities will be involved 120 Ss (primarily 14-15 yo), different every time so as to include as many learners as possible. Ts participating in mobilities will be 60, varying the colleagues who participate, in order to facilitate access for a wider number of people.The local activities will involve, overall, a much larger number of participants, including all the Ss in each partner school (approx. 5,000), their parents/tutors and other members of the community. To this we added 2 partner schools in each locality, with Ss with fewer opportunities, that will implement elements of our project in their institutions, with their Ss and who will be monitored for a successful unfolding of the project. The Ss with fewer opportunities who come from unstable backgrounds (financial issues, single-parent families, relatives working abroad) are oftentimes in danger of dropping out of school to follow the mirage of the money, choosing to get a job (preferably abroad) and earn a good income, opting for instant gratification instead of continuing their education, which also includes knowledge about the exploitation of natural resources, recycling, preserving the environment, etc.Also, the project intends to encourage Ss with fewer opportunities to become a part of it, expressing themselves through different types of art (drawing, painting, music, dance, theatre, etc.). We intend to involve (at least) 100 Ss with fewer opportunities during the 2 years of project, and at least one per country in each mobility.The main types of activities used will be:a) discussion methods: workshops, group work, brainstorming, discussions;b) experimental methods: multimedia project presentations, artistic competitions (project logo, best image reflecting climate change, etc.), educational field trips, cultural visits.The expected results are:- observing a change in daily habits for 50% of Ss regarding recycling, reducing waste and overall protection of the environment around them;- motivating Ss to express their opinions and ideas freely related to environmental issues;- improving Ss' linguistic, digital, communication and social skills;- creating a collection of Ss' artistic work in an attempt to fight climate change (drawings, posters, presentations, etc.);- turning Ss who participate in the project into ambassadors who transmit the knowledge gained in the project to other Ss from their schools and other schools in the communities;- boosting Ss' self-confidence in their skills and creativity;- creating a reliable project team in each partner school;- acquiring experience and insight regarding the implementation of a successful Erasmus+ project;- developing a European dimension within each partner school;- fostering tolerance and acceptance of other cultures, views and mentalities;- creating partnerships that will likely resume in future international projects."

    """Youth, Multilingualism and Work Perspectives in Europe "" is an association formed by six secondary schools located in areas with high unemployment rate. It involves students aged 12-16. We set as our goal to provide our students with a comprehensive understanding of the European labor market and skills they will need for their future careers. It seems, this future will be challenging, because these skills change quickly, so teachers must adapt to new technologies and knowledge of foreign languages.In this context the project is structured in three main areas: Research of the European labor market, using free online resources and new technologies (ICT), and implementation of CLIL methodology. Our plan of activities includes among others:Creating 6 e-books with CLIL lessons (Science, New Technologies, Natural Resources, Industry, Natural and Cultural Heritage and Robotics.)European labor market researches in different fields.Development curriculums (Europass format), video resumes, letters of application and portfolio.Business: Visits and practices.Visits to representatives of public employment agencies.Work fair, educational coaching workshop, visits to universities, etc.Videoconferences with people working abroad.The project promotes collaborative work through platforms like TwinSpace and google drive, where students and teachers carry out work together and organize meetings online. In the mobilities to the different countries, students present their tasks and teachers provide the CLIL lessons.All results of the project: e-book, presentations, videos, etc are available on the websites of all institutions, the project website, TwinSpace and the project websites of all partners . The dissemination plan includes press releases in regional media and a press conferences at the at the last meeting. So that schools around us are aware of our work and available free resources. We expect our schools to benefit long term from this project and to get more teachers motivated to learn new techniques, use more digital resources and have students with greater linguistic and digital skills .The details of the project are available on http://workperspectivesineurope.blogspot.com.es/"

    "The reasoning behind this project is: School violence is just one of the manifestations of daily violence. Debates on the relationship between the concept of ""right to safety"" and the school environment have gained a steady and constant development in Europe, with country-to-country differences, becoming officially a political issue following an expert meeting organized by the European Commission in Utrecht , in 1997. Because violence is a global problem in schools, the project includes various activities, methods, tools and tips for the education departments. The target group is primary school, gymnasium and high school teachers and students as a first step. This is because we want to analyze and see the broad picture of aggression in the school of different ages and different needs. At the next step we aim to attract families into the project. Our goal is to keep family awareness on this subject. The proposed objectives are:- Teacher training through the exchange of experience in the 4 LTTs within the project (96 teachers will participate)- to develop an innovative methodology to reduce the violence phenomenon in educational establishments by 5%- increasing the use of active-participatory methods of school teachers;- to teach students to recognize aggression;- minimize aggression and early school leaving.- teach students how to deal with different social situations.-A total of 46 students (with 22 teachers) will participate directly in the two LTT activities within the project. The project is aimed at a number of 2000 pupils, of which 200 pupils with ""CES"" and a number of 170 teachers from the 6 countries.
