"The project K2 Erasmus + ""Clean World"" has as its main objective the internationalization of our students, the awareness of a clean, sosteinable world, an openness to cultures and lifestyles, different from ours, to foster the tolerance, equality and social inclusion and the exchange of innovative resources and methodologies between the teachers involve For these reasons we have chosen the following horizontal priority:- Supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competencesAnd as school priorities:- Energy and resources- Environment and weather change- Citizen participation / Responsible citizenship.Moreover, we consider this project as a process of learning for the whole institution (teachers, students and families). The participants in our schools have to take the opportunity of growing personally and professionally as a consequence of the participation in the project Erasmus+ KA2. The preparation, implementation and assessesment of our project of European mobilities, and the dissemination of our results, will make students aware of the neccessity of caring for our environment, seeking the global sostenaibility, being part of an united Europe and developing their key competences.It is a project for 24 months, which will be carried out by the Sciences and Foreign Languages departments and we will have 4 mobilities for teachers and students. Our strategic Plan will have activities before, during and after the mobilities.There is a clear relationship between the necessities of our school with regards to the European and collaboration awareness and the activities shown in this project with reference to some issues: curriculum, European dimension, management competences, both, students and teachers ' linguistic competences, the new teaching methods or innovating tools and the organization of teaching and learning.Our aim is to achieve the following outcomes after the mobilities:-Their immersion in the cultural dailylife to improve the understanding and use of English as a lingua franca for an effective communication.-The awareness of a better and sustainable world with the cooperative work in teams will let us show our students a complete vision of new resources - The participation in collaborative learning intercultural projects will help us to adopt new methodologies based on projects research to encourage our students to compare our own culture and lifestyle with the other European countries and the European culture in general.- The participants will have the option of sharing materials, which will be part of a bank of resources for the other partners at school, very useful for the preparation of didactic sequences.- The relationship with the European teachers who participate in the project and the link of our students and European students will help us share examples of good practices and will proportionate an European dimension to the Secondary stage in our institution.Finally, we intend some key learning outcomes, within the strategic frame of the school about quality and internationalization to improve our teaching practice."

"The background for the project is that we wanted to work on student motivation for learning foreign languages. The project's main goal is to increase the students motivation through applying new and innovative methods using new technology. We also want to develop professional teaching communities where we learn from each other and develop new ideas together. Through working on this project we aim to make our teachers and students more aware of the opportunities that lie within applying new technology in the foreign language classroom, and we also want to make them see how knowing different foreign languages may help them in the future. The main objectives of the project are:- To increase student motivation for learning foreign languages- To develop professional teaching communities that can inspire teachers to be more innovative in the foreign language classroom (Spread of good practices)- To develop some concrete lesson plans that can be used by foreign language teachers across EuropeWhen choosing the partners we decided on schools that offer the same foreign languages and that were equally interested in working on their student's motivation for these subjects. The participants in the project will be a selection of English, German and French teachers from all the five participating schools. In addition a number of student groups will also be involved in the project as recepients of the lesson plans we will develop. An important part of the lesson plans will involve communication between students at the different schools. The three most important activities will be the teacher workshops where we collaborate on making lesson plans, the teacher mobilities where we plan to visit each other, and observe and participate in the teaching using the newly created lesson plans, as well as communication between the students throughout the duration of the project.The most concrete end result will be our ""Foreign Languages for the future"" blog where our lesson plans are gatherd for future use in foreign language classrooms. Our results will also be presented here. Furthermore, we hope that working on this project will help to increase student's motivation for learning foreign languages, both through the use of new technology and also through helping them see the need for knowing foreign languages in the future. Another thing that we hope will be a lasting impact is that participation in this project can lead to teachers using more technology in the classroom, which again can lead to both students and teachers learning more and becoming more motivated. The long term benefits of this project we see as being for instance the contact we create between the schools. We can continue to use these connections to involve new student groups in communicating with each other also after the project period is over."

"Our project ""Basketball Opens Our Minds"" (""BOOM""!) has been based on some facts : despite the tarnished image of Denain, strongly affected by unemployment, this town presents many strengths among which basketball : indeed, in Denain, there is a professional basketball team (""pro B""), very good sporting facilities and a basketball section at vocational high school Jurénil.Our students' narrow-mindedness, limited professional horizons and considerable social difficulties have an impact on school life and entails learning problems, thus school non attendance and dropouts. That's why we have selected the following priority : ""fight early school leaving and problems met by disadvantaged pupils"".The project is aiming at : - giving the students a strong desire to learn through a more playful and innovative method : sports (basketball) which combine many benefits : (health, hygiene, respect, team work, self-esteem and surpassing oneself).- transferring learning methods and innovative socio-educative practices,- improving language skills,- opening Jurénil High School at an international level (the sense of belonging to Europe and greater open-mindedness),- experiencing the exchange of teaching practices to foster and increase school attendance.Our project is based on one of the lines of work of our school project : ""give the students the opportunity to become citizens open to the world"". So, a partnership has been built with 3 European countries, where sports, especially basketball, take an important part : Spain, Italy and Lithuania. 8 students and 2 teachers from each country will take part in this project. So, each partner will host 30 people (24 students and 6 adults). The students are aged from about 15 to 18.In order to achieve the project objectives within 24 months, we are going to work on 6 topics : ""basketball and its history and traditions in each country"", ""basketball and the language"" : these 2 topics will be commonly studied and worked virtually by the 4 partners. The other 4 topics are shared among the 4 partners and each of them will prepare the programme of the learning, teaching, training activities : Spain ""basketball and the game"", France ""basketball and careers"", Lithuania ""basketball and refereeing"", Italy ""basketball and health benefits"".During the mobilities, all the partners will work jointly on each topic prepared by the hosting partner : mixed workshops in english, educational and cultural trips, meetings with different basketball clubs, professionals and European players, sporting events (training sessions, matches). All that in order to carry out common works both through virtual exchange (through etwinning and TwinSpace where the works will be stored), and during the different meetings. The works will be used to feed the schools' website too for dissemination. Logo, billboards, leaflet, English/partner language glossary on basketball vocabulary, European anthem, an english ""rules of conduct"" charter, questionnaires for filmed interviews in english, a logbook, a film highlighting the different activities.The expected results are :- change habits and the way of life of students to make them aware of the importance of sports and the benefits on everyday life (physical (health), moral, social), - generate students' motivation, ambition, self-esteem, pushing their limits, by highlighting their works during dissemination,- reduce the rate of school absenteeism and foster school attendance,- open our respective schools at an international level and make students aware of European citizenship and identity for a greater open-mindedness,- establish professional contacts for future training periods and make our students want to go and work abroad,- add an undeniable value to the students' future professional life,- develop interculturalism by mixing the groups, the nationalities during the workshops and activities,- adapt to communication situations by practising foreign languages,- develop initiative and entrepreneurship, a greater self-confidence by communicating, working and exchanging with the different partners,- use ICT and develop their skills.Finally, this project will enable us to establish long lasting relationships between the different partners, starting professional mobilities and continue to exchange teaching resources and practices."
