<< Background >>Primary PE is a cornerstone for foundation for lifelong engagement in physical activity and sport. Studies showed, that pupils with SEND are less likely participate in physical education lessons and are left out for a variety of reasons. The largest barrier for quality PE in primary school is qualification and preparation of teachers (Lynch, 2017), taking account inclusion, very important teachers perceived self- efficacy (Kwon and Block, 2017). During the COVID-19 pandemic, this situation became even more complicated. Last spring, in a few weeks, schools had to move from regular to distance learning. The most of schools faced a serious problem - the lack of digital education materials. The primary school teachers have to find new ways and methods to sustain physical activity of pupils with SEND. Some research already was done in this field to investigate how teachers utilised digital technologies in everyday teaching activities and results showed that using digital technologies was inert, depending on teacher, and PE were left on students and parents’ responsibility. Teachers still need support in curriculum design and practice provision how to integrate students with special educational needs into general PE classes. This project focus on primary school teachers as they have little or no knowledge about APE and children need the value and habit of lifelong physical activity to be instilled in them from a young age despite their abilities.<< Objectives >>The main goal of our project is to empower primary school teacher to include pupils with special education needs into physical education classes assisted by digital tools. Objectives: 1. To identify teachers ITC and inclusive class creation competences and their perceived self-efficacy in this area. 2. To create digitalized content for primary school teachers to work in inclusive PE classes. 3. To empower teachers to use digital platform by providing an assistance and support.<< Implementation >>In order to create digital content for primary school teachers the survey is planned to investigate the current situation of digital competences and self-efficacy. Survey questionnaire will be created considering the data we have and the conclusions will be received from workshops with associated partners and teachers. The workshops will be held in each participating country of at least 5 teacher-experts and other stakeholders. The survey will be conducted in each participating country for at least 200 primary school teachers. According to survey results the digital material how to work with SEND in physical education class will be developed. Each participating country will construct content based on the latest research and practical experience. Cross sectional evaluations of each country prepared part of material will be done. We will pilot our digital content with teachers in each partner country and the feedback will let us to improve digital material.<< Results >>In summary, this project is focused to three closely related main topics: 1) the digital competences of primary school teachers; 2) physical education class in primary schools; and 3) inclusion of primary school pupils with SEND in physical education. During this project implementation 2 products will be created (O1 -Field research study report. and O2 Digitized content for primary education teachers ). This project outcomes will help teachers to get key competencies in APE and will strengthen the digital competencies. The project will provide digital learning and teaching content, educational support and will encourage to develop creativity.

CONTEXTWe are five European schools which want to make joint efforts to increase our students’ knowledge and interest in subjects connected with the cultural heritage of our countries – Geography, History. Furthermore, in a world affected by globalization in which people have a tendency to look down on their own national heritage, we need our students to go back to their own roots by learning the customs and traditions that have been passed on from one generation to another. We think that if you don’t know your roots, you don’t know where you come from and if you don’t know your foundation, you can never develop. Therefore, we intend to cultivate our students’ patriotic feelings, determining them to look back to their past and their origins, at the same time broadening their horizons to other cultures and their specificities. PARTICIPANTSStudents – the target group is made up of about 1000 students aged 11-14; 100 students have special education needs. About 150-200 students will be selected as members of the work group (at least 30 / country, but the number may vary according to the size of the target group up to 40). They will be the engine of our project: they will be involved in the training activities before the exchanges, about 100 will participate in the activities during exchanges and will disseminate the information to the other members of the target group after the exchanges. Accompanying teachers – 2 teachers/country/exchange. One of them will be the coordinator, while the other one will be a History/Geography/Literature/Arts/IT teacher.OBJECTIVESThe main purpose of the project is to boost the cultural and intercultural awareness of all actors involved in its implementation. However, being specifically aimet at students, we have established the following objectives for them:OS1. To boost the cultural awareness of at least 80% of students, making them more knowledgeable about the history, geography, literature, customs, traditions, dances, musicOS2. To boost intercultural awareness and competence of all students, making them more knowledgeable about the other European countries, history, geography, literature, customs, traditions, dances, music.OS3 To improve students’ computer skills by having them use mobile applications and online tools for presentations, activities, assessment, creation of outputsOS4 To improve students’ transferrable skills – team work, adaptability, organisation, communication, research and analysisOS5 To improve students’ self-confidence and motivation for learningAt the level of the institutions, our objectives are:1.To improve the European dimension and international cooperation2.To motivate teachers3.To improve cooperation and communication among all school actorsMAIN ACTIVITIESWe intend to organize five exchanges, each hosted by each partner:1. C1 - The Austrain heritage – hosted by AT in September 20202. C2 – The Lithuanian Heritage – hosted by LT in May 20213. C3 – The Slovakian Heritage – October 20214. C4 – The Turkish Heritage – March 20225. C5 – The Polish Heritage – June 2022RESULTSTangible results include: presentations made by students (30), workshop materials, online brochures (5), the final output “The European Heritage”, guest students’ travel journals (80), the eTwinning space, eTwinning forum, photo albums (5), certificates of attendance (112) initial and final assessment forms, mobility documents (agenda, methodology, questionnaires, assessment forms) , Europass mobility documents (112), etc. IMPACTThe institutions will have the chance to benefit from the good practices acquired and transferred through students and teachers’ participation in the exchanges. They will promote intercultural learning and will open to new models that will benefit the students in the medium and long run, too.We will develop the European dimension of our schools and will be better trained to manage projects under the Erasmus+ programme – both the experienced schools and the less experienced ones. This project will be the foundation for future cooperation among schools through eTwinning and Erasmus+.

The PlayIn project is a European project taking place in France (FACE), Italy (CESIE), Lithuania (LSU), Denmark (BrainLog) and Spain (Growthcoop) and financed by the Erasmus+ agency. Its objectives are to promote the skills of young volunteers in sports organisations and to promote the actors involved in socio-professional inclusion through sport. For 27 months, the project partners have built, in collaboration with the actors concerned - A pedagogical guide to support volunteers in the self-identification and valorisation of skills acquired during their sport experience(s) in the workplace. A PlayIn certificate is available at the end of this guide so that the sports organisation can formalise the recognition of the young person's skills. - A toolkit for sports organisations presenting the best inclusive practices in each project partner country. Sport organisations can find inspiration in this toolkit to set up their own actions to promote the socio-professional inclusion of young people. - The web platform http://playin-project.eu to give visibility to inclusive events and allow online management of volunteering. Each organisation posting an event is valued by gaining visibility and receiving the PlayIn certificate, thus joining the European network of committed actors.An impact report was also written despite the impossibility of experimeting the tools in sports clubs due to the COVID-19 health crisis. Instead, the report refers to consultations with volunteers and sports organisations.

The Erasmus+ project “Cross into languages” is a project implemented at an international level in collaboration with partner schools from Greece, Turkey, Romania, Lithuania and Slovakia. The choice of partner schools was based on multiple criteria such as: experience relevant to our project idea, need to develop communicative skills in foreign language teaching, innovative approaches for learning experiences and with willingness to learn new teaching techniques, openness to intercultural communication and an appreciation of culture. As a result and after conducting a full SWOT analysis, this project establishes the following objectives: to develop students’ interest in learning English and to encourage students to use their skills in communication and cooperation; to introduce some innovative activities by using the foreign language as a communicative linguistic skill, in classroom environments that make use of communicative materials and simulate real-life situations, where students feel comfortable, don’t hesitate about which grammatical structure to use, the teacher is more an observer than an authority and mistakes are not corrected by the authority but by the students themselves; to use the foreign language in student’s daily lives, for instance, they should be able to buy something, accommodate, ask for an address or direction, in other words live the language when they are abroad; to train teachers on new methods through workshops and by making the adequate electronic and in-paper publications. In addition, we have also set some additional objectives for both students and teaching staff to accomplish: to compare the different curriculums and evaluate their impact on English lessons; to involve students, parents, associations, the school community, and local authorities in the project activities; to integrate English in all school subjects through CLIL modules (art, math); to teach and use ICT skills and online tools in communication and cooperation with partners; to encourage and motivate students in the development of creativity and innovation; to break barriers and increase tolerance towards other cultures and students by getting to know students from other countries.The aims of the activities are to make the process of learning more attractive and to increase students’ motivation to learn by using the language in real life (they should be able to eat, accommodate, shop, ask for directions etc.). We believe communicative skills are acquired in learning environments that simulate real life and with the use of realia through techniques such as drama, role-play and improvisation.The activities are varied, some of those that will be implemented in this project are (and include) creating different parts of our classroom to look like a bassar, a Hotel& Library a Mini city; decorating corridor walls; designing the project logo; creating the Erasmus+ corner; distributing project promotion brochures to the students and their parents, to local people, to private and state education institutions; the use of dialogues, drama, role-plays and simulation techniques; organizing the European Day of Languages Festival, presenting students their development through videos. We have planned the mobilities for planning and organization, exchanging ideas about the ongoing project, preventing difficulties, organizing teachers training session, preparing and evaluating the students’ exchanges. We have planned one short-term joint staff training event in Turkey and five short-term exchanges of groups of pupils - one in each partnerschool.Our project main target groups are 12 to 14 years-old students and teachers together with indirect beneficiaries of the project activities (parents, local officials, teachers from other schools and all local, regional, national and international stakeholders). Concrete results of the project: Simulation classes, which will create a new language spirit at all partner schools; the foreign language bulletins. Products and activity results will be presented directly at meetings through exhibitions, shows, presentations, or indirectly through CDs and letters / drawings, cards sent by mail or digital materials sent online (songs, photos, stories, games) and alsoin the project’s blog, e-Twinning platform, the project newsletter and the partner schools’ websites.This project will allow all students to collaborate with their international peers, sharing their knowledge and their different learning experiences while ommunicating and planning their activities in English. They will experience innovative methodologies. The teaching staff will observe their students at work and learn new techniques and methodologies for the foreign language classroom. We will continue our collaboration after the project ends and we will keep in contact via Etwinning and the official facebook group, continuing to update it with our new experiences and activities on the project theme.
