    This project seeks to enhance long term development strategies regarding the needs of young European citizens in secondary schools and allow them to choose a suitable career path to make the right career choices. In the context of growing unemployment rates nowadays, graduate students are facing difficulties in their attempt to find jobs in accordance with their interests, abilities, skills or personality traits. We attempt to give our pupils the benefits that offer a well-developed professional and academic education. Young people are thus encouraged to become more aware of their potential and provide access to information regarding the overall economic environment on the European labour market. Moreover, by taking part in LTTAs, they will experience first hand family life and culture by staying in host families, giving them a real life focus and purpose for their project work.These transnational activities will be intensive working time and highlights in our partnership, presenting and evaluating results.Project objectives can be summarized as follows:- to improve students' basic entrepreneurship skills and lower labour market segmentation-to provide opportunities for students to connect to the labour market, local/regional/European institutions or private companies with the same purpose-to empower students with necessary abilities so as to examine their own marketability- to raise participants' flexibility and align to lifelong learning concept for flexible career options- to provide various circumstances for participants to acquire knowledge and a deeper understanding of the cultural and linguistic diversity across EuropeThe partnership methodology relies mainly on the exchange of experience and good practices. The international character of the project stimulates and builds professionalism concerning synergies among partner schools sharing the common aim to achieve transition from school to work and consequently reduce segmentation in the labour market. Participants will benefit from the expertise of professionals and the beneficiaries' associated partners. Through a constructivist approach, adults will assist students to transfer the information and apply it to a modern and dynamic school environment.The project will last for two years and throughout its life cycle, we planned one transnational project meeting attended by project coordinators to assess the project and four Learning/Teaching/Training Activities. We estimate that about 2000 people will benefit from the project, both directly and indirectly. The working program during LTTAs will include lesson observations, exchange of good practices in the Italian school (Effective connections between school and Labour Market in Italy) and Hungarian school (Creating the training firms as real firms - Mock Companies). The practical and workable applications will be integrated into project activities and in the second year all partners will apply two similar practices in their school curriculum. Professionals in the entrepreneurial area will lead seminars on the topic of bridging the gap between school and labour market.The teachers' roles will be both of instructors and beneficiaries by observing other schools and their education systems. The project teams will consist of 5 teachers in each partner organization so 25 in total will be actively engaged in project activities. Approximately 150 teachers/adults will indirectly influenced. At least 15 members from the labour market will be involved in the project in all schools. Approximately 30% of our pupils and target groups will report a positive experience following project activities. Students will develop basic entrepreneurship skills through providing direct opportunities to connect to the labour market, support a meaningful context for students to develop interpersonal, communication skills in mother tongue and foreign languages.The teachers in partner schools will share and exchange ideas, pedagogical and methodological resources, observe lessons during LTTAs, learn about the inclusive approach and thus create a more effective learning and teaching process. Moreover, they are expected to develop their mother tongue and foreign language communication, project management and negotiation, teamwork skills.The project will promote cooperation between schools, schools and labour markets, fostering the exchange of ideas and pedagogical approaches leading to the creation of a trans-national network, increasing the schools' European dimension and reputation in community. Thereupon, partner schools involved will manage to create an inclusive educational environment which will help participants achieve their full potential. To conclude, due to this international cooperation, participant will be better equipped to respond the challenges on the labour market in today's globalized world.

    Funder Contribution: 143,090 EUR

    "The project dealt with the inclusion of immigrants and refugees in the school and the local community/society. The issue was derived from the difficult situation that all state members of the EU face: the waves of refugees flooding the union, especially some countries more than others and the consequences that the situation imposes at the schools. The complexity is identified by the multiple parameters that this situation hides. On one hand, immigrants and refugees flee the war zones to find a better place to live and to be safe and secure in their everyday lives. On the other hand, local students and families experience the same feelings of loss as they feel threatened by the amount of people invading their regularity. The balance between the two lies is the golden medium that this project aimed. For the immigrants and refugees to be accepted, included and actively participate in the community as citizens and for the local people to assist the newcomers without feeling threatened. In order to achieve that, 7 institutions gathered from different parts of Europe (North, South, East, West) representing both primary and secondary education. These partners, representing Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, Romania, Greece and Cyprus each one with their own experiences, cooperated to find solutions to cope with the above situation. As the situation of immigrants and refugees is multi-dimensional, our objectives targeted as many of those dimensions as possible. The social, educational, technological development of these students was aimed and the development of the teachers' skills was for that reason, imperative as well. The project hosted digital ICT tools (digital map of each partner city, QR code info, digital dictionary/translator with over 700 basic words and phrases, guides for beginners about easy to use tools and software, free language apps and programmes, Creative Commons websites and other official useful websites with best inclusion practices), organized sports events (playing Korfball) and experience-sharing workshops, performed a study about best inclusion practices used in each institution and held an International Conference with the subject ""Immigrants, refugees and Inclusion"". The project organized 7 transnational meetings, one in each institution, 4 learning, teaching, training activities and an eTwinning project awarded with 4 National and 2 European Quality Labels. The transnational meetings were the means to plan the next steps of the project, to assess the products being produced, to adapt activities or products if necessary and to keep within the deadlines suggested by the time line. The learning, teaching, training activities (C2-C5) were held parallel to the transnational meetings with either 3 or 4 students from each secondary school and 2 teachers accompanying them. Some of the participants in these meetings had immigrant/refugee background.In these meetings, the students attended sports events playing Korfball in mixed teams and experience-sharing workshops with former students of the institutions that shared their immigration or refugee experiences/stories. These Life Stories, enriched by other ones written by parents, students and teachers, were published as a book. They also applied, practiced and assessed all the ICT tools. All students were certified with the Europass Mobility certificate for their attendance in the workshops. Additionally, twice a year, during the International Days of Refugees and Immigrants, celebrations and activities were held in all the institutions. All the activities and products can be found on the project website: https://www.refugees-immigrants.com/ With this project we aimed to make the transition and inclusion of immigrants and refugees smoother and with fewer problems for them and the local citizens. We had the ambition to influence with our project the local community, the institutions in our regions and in our countries, to inform and to share our products with other Non-profit organizations, NGOs and our municipalities. At the end, with our project we intended to AID Immigrants and Refugees to be Active citizens, Include them in the society in the most effortless way and Develop their future along with the society as they become part of it."

    "Transmedia is not a new term. It has been borrowed by education from the film production sector as it engages students in a more self-learning way. Education has proved too slow to follow the new ways that the students learn. Various platforms, social media, rapidly changing technology are only some of the issues that education has to face. The students already share knowledge in a way that the school finds difficult to follow. Their individual knowledge becomes collective by sharing stories, experiences and thoughts rapidly. By following this stream of information in the school, teachers have a unique way of leading students to think critically, share their knowledge, be more creative and gain the desired goals, either set by the school or by them. It's a way of interpreting a story (knowledge in our case) and personalize it in each one's perspective.""Transmedia: a new narrative that involves communication and education towards the future classroom"" (COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION BY TRANSMEDIA-CET, as short name) is an Erasmus+ Project shared by four secondary schools from Spain, Italy, Cyprus and Romania, one primary school from Cyprus, one Teachers' Training Centre from Portugal and one university from Spain. The partners have been chosen very carefully as all of them have to offer a significant addition to the project. They have all worked together before in various and different ways and that assures for a cooperative, group work performed in the best way. From the lower levels of education to the highest, the scale covers all aspects and all views of the project.Transmedia, is a project about new technologies in the school, about the best that these technologies bring to the schools and about the problems that the schools have to solve when they are not used in the proper way. In general, the project addresses the question of using technologies in school curriculum in the best and safest way, the creation and implementation of the appropriate tools to do that, the problems with licensed software and their availability to the schools and families of minor opportunities, either economical or social. We aim to lower the gap between education and technology, to engage our students in learning by using the technologies used outside school but in the best way possible. Most importantly, we aim to show that the concept of transmedia can be used in all subjects of the curriculum, horizontally and transversally, for a more holistic approach.The project includes a number of products: first of all, a scientific research, under the direction of the University of Girona, in order to clarify the situation in the schools on how technology is used, in what way and in what extend. The research will be published in a scientific journal and will be presented in the last event of the project, our International Congress in which we will present also all our products. The scientific journal ""Communication Papers"" will publish a special issue on our project with scientific articles, essays and reviews.We will also create two decalogues for classroom use and for dissemination to our school networks that involve the proper use of Internet and the policy that covers the use of technology. Four different seminars, concerning the aims of the project, will be offered to teachers and students and the participants will receive a Europass Mobility document for their participation. A MOOC course will also be offered on line. All our products will be uploaded to the Web page and Apps that we will create and they will be available for free under the Creative Commons license for everyone to use without problems with copyrights. We will adapt all the products to the needs of primary and secondary schools and in seven different languages.Our proposal states that local communities, through students and parents, will benefit from the experience gained by the Organizations, as information providers. They will get a better knowledge of the law and policy concerning the use of digital material on the Internet, by improving habits and respecting legal procedure on how to use or not material made by others. Authorities will be more involved and the young, future labor community will have an ethics code when entering any working environment. Furthermore, the project will provide support in achieving a European area of lifelong learning through transmedia at the regional level by improving the relations of partnership at European level and by increasing the multilingual European society model in the local community. Last but not least, the schools will gain the access they need to engage and personally motivate each student in the learning process which only positive results may bring."
