"The project ""With teen eyes"" arises after the experience carried out in the CDP Santa María de los Ángeles, in the missing subject Integrated Project, in which different social issues are already addressed, with an active approach, through the use of short films as a product final.After having had two partners in Comenius projects, the International Department of the CDP plans to establish a partnership as a coordinating center. The search for partners is carried out through the Etwinning platform and, after presenting the project in two calls, it is finally approved in the third one, in 2017. The objectives of this surgical association after a survey conducted among the students of the participating centers, where we detected that adolescents consider that their voice has to be heard, that they can contribute a lot to society, and that they believe that audiovisual language is very effective. In addition, we detect that today's youth consumes many videos on the Internet. ; - educate in entrepreneurship. In total, we have been six participating centers, all of post-compulsory secondary education, both general and professional. They have made a total of 475 students and 32 teachers involved.The activities carried out have been: - at a local level, the centers have produced short films and observed their methodological use; It should be noted that four centers have included the project in the curriculum, two not, with effects on student involvement; - At the international level, we have repeated the schedule of meetings in both courses, which has allowed us to improve some aspects in the second year. Each year, we have held two meetings, one training, in which we have addressed issues such as auditory language, techniques and performance and another in international teams (with one student per center), have produced short films. It has been completed with three coordination meetings. About 60 short films have been produced, of which we have published about 40 (for quality reasons) and a manual for the use of short films as a methodological tool. The impact has been very positive on the participants, who considered that they have improved their linguistic, digital and creative skills, and that allowed them to learn more about certain problems in the documentation phase; It also highlights the learning involved in a short film project in terms of teamwork."

"The idea of this project was based on transferring expertise and experience in predominantly outdoor project-based learning from experienced schools (Kogeka 2) to schools at the beginner stage of implementing it (PMG""Yane Snadanski"" and I.I.S.S. ""S. Trinchese"") and a school which didn’t completely apply this method (Zespol Szkol Ogolnoksztalcacych nr 1 w Gdansku) as well as an exchange of interdisciplinary lessons.Our approach was strategic and innovative, because we aimed to share and disseminate the benefits of a wider exploitation and implementation of the project-based learning in natural scientific subjects, as well as transferring expertise in interdisciplinary lessons. Our priority inside the project was promoting the acquisition of skills and competences. This project aimed to promote students' interest in the sciences through its intersection with various cultures throughout Europe. The two main objectives of our project were cooperation between schools in promoting, implementing and improving project-based learning involving outdoor activities and exchange of best practices in the field of Learner-Centered Teaching Methods, exchange of interdisciplinary lessons and approaches to sustain that method of teaching in our school and disseminate to a lot of schools in Bulgaria and partner countries. By doing so, we hoped to inspire students to pursue further studies in these fields, and to do so in creative ways. A second objective was to acquire and share innovative teachings methods across the participating schools. By exchanging these best practices, schools have had the opportunity to raise their standards of excellence and provide exceptional learning opportunities for its students. A final objective was to strengthen the local community, as mentioned above. Through this partnerships, each community had the opportunity to showcase itself to foreigners, strengthening community ties and improving quality of life through the process. Students participating in this project, aged between 16 - 19, demonstrated exceptional skills and interest in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English. These students worked together in groups under the supervision of teachers within the educational fields mentioned previously. All activities, at each respective school, centered around our theme of “Culture Meets Science.” Some activities took place at school or inside the classrooms, while others were held in informal settings. In general terms our project was focused on learners-centered teaching methods and learning, inquiry- based science education, in workshops and practical laboratory experiments - a discovery science methodology was included in the experiments. We also included interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches. Most of the activities were based on hands-on experience and data collection on environment; swot and gap analysis. Moreover, we used contests, games and playful quizzes to keep the students’ motivation and interest high. As for the activities to be developed, each participating school decided time, methods and settings. Parts of them were dealt with during lessons; other parts in extra project sessions following flipped classroom or non-formal settings, while methods, time and length were adapted and tailored according to the interest and the results obtained during the activities, from evaluation and assessment. Some activities such as warming ups, brief history information about the host country, students’ workshop activities in mixed international groups, cultural programmes were a part of each meeting. The expected results were integration of the innovative project-based and interdisciplinary approach alongside with the traditional methodology into the classroom and beyond. Students had the opportunity to see how the challenging natural science subjects can be easily and successfully learned by taking part in various, attractive learning models. Experience and ideas exchange led to faster and easier implementation and creation of innovative interdisciplinary data base of lessons. Project-based learning when adequately applied resulted in students enhanced quality of studying compared to traditional instructional methodology. It increased long-term relation of material as well as students and teacher’s motivation and collaboration."
