It doesn’t have only undeniable effects like leaving school early but also severe and long term effects. The topic of our project is associated with 2015 Paris Declaration on supporting citizenship and the common values of independence, tolerance and non-discrimination during education. Some of the priorities are” inclusive education,equal opportunity and non-discrimination”and “overcoming discrimination,racism, bullying,violence and stereotypes”in in the strategic framework for European collaboration in education and training.(ET 2020)After finding out the bullying fact around Europe, one partner school made a survey at school and asked a question to learners :“have you ever bullied or cyberbullied or know a friend who have been bullied?”. %35 of the pupils replied as “Yes”. To share useful solutions with other European schools and exhange good practices in order to resist bullying, the Turkish school formed a post on e-twinning and 6 schools with the same purpose gathered. There are 6 (primary and secondary) schools from Poland, Turkey, Macedonia, Crotia , Bulgaria and Portugal as partner schools in our project. Approximately 8000 students, 500 teachers and 200 SEN students from 6 partner schools will take part directly or indirectly during the project. During the first meeting in Turkey where we will explain the dissemination , implementation of the project and next LTTS. There will be two short term joint staff trainings in Portugal and Turkey and 4 short term pupil exchange activities in N.Macedonia,Bulgaria, Poland and Crotia. We will also arrange a final meeting in Poland LTT in which we will write the final report. Detailed outcomes and outputs are the website and the twinspace, the anti-bullying app, short educational movies by students and their parents, songs composed by students on “do not bully, be my buddy” , posters designed by pupils on”together against bullying”, board game, a handbook about bullying,t-shirt designs, “ dream a school atmosphere, draw and paint it” competition, a project logo, a project mascot, a calendar created with the drawings of the winner of the painting activity “Dream a school atmosphere without bullying, draw and paint it”, a digital book, an e-twinning project similar to our KA229 project and the website of our project.The project will help to increase the appreciation of bullying against children, cyberbullying and to respect diversity at schools, to improve friendship and empathy between the students of different European countries, to enlarge intercultural appreciation. Our aim is to work on bullying matter in an international level. Because we think that exchanging opinions and experiences will show new ways to us to feel ourselves as European citizens.Our purposes of the project are to decrease bullying at schools by %10 by transnational teacher trainings, pupils and parents activities and transnational pupil exchanging activities; to share European good practices; to make the participants be conscious of rights of the child ,discrimination and bullying; to raise the level of consciousness about bullying and to improve anti-bullying school policy; to compare the reasons and results of bullying at schools , to widespread peace and mutual empathy between students ; to increase the level of intercultural consciousness and conversations among different ethnic groups, migrants and refugees with the help of project activities such based on music and art which are the global languages of communication; to try to understand others by standing against preconception and discrimination; to develop students’ and teachers’ digital abilities, their foreign language efficiencies ; to enrich intercultural awareness and to learn empathy and to stand against preconception.While conducting this project, critical thinking, team and peer works, previous and last surveys, observation forms, presentations, handbook, evaluation forms after each LTT and the final report will be used as methodologies. The estimated outcomes are; a website, eTwinnig site, youtube films, an app, a digital book/calendar, a board game as well as: raising the interest to learn English,powerful emotion of belonging to “the European community”, decreased severity in partner schools, e currently improved anti-bullying school policy,raising the academic success of pupils who have been bullied before,better ICT abilities, higher adaptation of teachers in European educational community.However,finally our biggest wish is that teachers and parents will be able to learn their roles and duties to cope with bullying.In long term,the severity at partner schools will be on the fall of with the help of the activities about friendship and empathy messages in this project.After the project finishes,the pupils and teachers will probably continue working on these languages.Their ICT abilities will develop and this make them to use their developed abilities in their lives, jobs and new EU projects.

"As Aristotle says “… For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them”, our venture aims to encourage our students and school community to raise an environmental awareness and develop their knowledge and skills for real life. Students learn by doing so that the students will have a dynamic part in each progression of the Project.“Do Best With Waste” is a collaborative project among partner schools from Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Italy, Poland and Portugal. This project undertakes a key role of taking attention of contribution to sustainable waste management in the school.The ecological language allows students to learn the sustainable process through the reduction, reuse and recycling of materials. Through a concerted management of natural resources and a patterning of consumption habits, can contribute to the sustainability of the way of life and the environment. Students will have a multidisciplinary learning that contribute to the development of ecological skills, critical understanding of the world and of new technologies, improving the integral formation of ecological citizens.During the period of this school partnership projects, participants will know good environmental practice that exist in each partner country, they will understand that sustainable waste management are important for the preservation of the environment. Then, they will change habits in school, through the selection of waste and other activities that reinforce this propose, such as: logo projects; digital illustrated calendars; art works with recycling materials; eBooks; visual dictionary about the climate actions; pedagogical Video about reuse materials; introduction electric power generators at school; a webpage; eTwinning space; reports; posters and presentations.With this perspective, we ensure our students to take part in useful activities in different cultural perspectives and with different students from other countries. Our students, their parents, and all the elements involved in the project, can enrich themselves culturally and ecologically, knowing that it is necessary to change attitudes towards the environment, as well as through implement daily sustainability habits. It will foster in young people a greater knowledge of themselves and others, through the human dimension that only ecological footprint can bring. In this sense, they will be made aware of different cultures and of a sustainable world that is intended to be an inclusive place. Initially, highlighted the role of schools in raising awareness of their community in the process of sustainable management of waste. It is hoped that there will be a change in the attitudes and daily habits of the students, family and community.Students from 10 to 15 years old will be involved in the project ""Do Best With Waste"".Also, at this stage, tools of information research will be introduced, through an articulation with the school library, which will promote the interdisciplinary between the different disciplines and curricular contents. Students will be better acquainted with ecological and sustainable concerns, thus increasing their information literacy skills.Subsequently, change of habits and sustainable management, will be the basis for a sustainable school.For this to be a properly oriented work, collaborations will be made with waste management entities, universities and municipalities. In each LTT, specific training in a sustainable concern will be available.The contents produced will be shared, showing that the school can be a better place, where people think ecologically and take sustainable actions.Good ecological practices in the partner countries will be possible to apply in the day life of each element belonging to each school community. The promotion of sustainability will also be carried out in events like Eco-friendly festivals. This will be a cultural event open to the surrounding community, with the goal of disseminating ecological practices.All the work done will be regularly made available and commented by the project partners on a web page and eTwinning space created for this purpose.As we all know, our future is in the hands of our children, adults of tomorrow. Investments related to waste management, especially in children’ s education, should be regarded as investments made for the future."
