"Recently, some IT companies have had to improve or fix IA algorithms that identified black people as apes or that made a similar use determining people as ""women"" because of appearing in a kitchen environment in the images and pictures.Biases and prejudices have always been present in our society, but with the advancement of the information globalization and digital algorithms ,even “unintended” biases and prejudices, derived from social constructions, can end up being exponentially fatal to our modern society bases.This project aims to invite students to make a critical assessment of how this type of bias may (or may not) affect their education, asking themselves why fewer women and people of sexual affective diversity appear in their academic books and environment than the real representation they have in the society, so that they can build their own capabilities of critical analysis to be able to detect and prevent their own (and other’s) biases, and, in this way, to be able to contribute to creating a more inclusive and egalitarian society.During the project, students will carry out activities aimed at identifying this type of situation through ""forgotten"" or not-so-well-known persons from school books and disseminating their discoveries, so that they can be shared with as many people as possible; To accomplish this, students will be invited to carry out research, exhibitions, and use IT to verify its potential when it comes to spreading a message. They will also find examples of discrimination through the art of music, cinema and television, they will create role plays and they will attend and participate in seminars and open discussions with experts and people who suffered discrimination during their school life. Herewith the aim is to achieve different objectives: on the one hand, to generate aspirational references for the role of women and LGBT people who are not correctly represented in students’ academic books and environment, so that the absence of references could not be an obstacle to the talent or vocation of a student and on the other hand to generate raise awareness of this possible bias which could avoid situations of discrimination both voluntary and involuntary in the future.To carry out this project six countries have joined with similar problems in this field because we believe that the realization of this project can be beneficial for our schools and our environment, having a satisfactory impact on our local community. Six mobilities have been prepared withactivities aimed to cover different aspects such as science, art, history, technology, including current cultural aspects, the mass media and methodological aspects. The groups which have been formed are of five people, comprising three students and two teachers. The selected students will have an age range between 14- 18 years old of the last level of secondary education. The selection processes will try to be as inclusive as possible and no student will be discriminated for academic or linguistic reasons. The main objective to be achieved is to improve the school environment, that is, to create spaces of respect and tolerance in which no student is discriminated against on the basis of gender or sexual identity depending on the collateral objectives such as improving linguistic, civic or technological competence. Moreover,different methods have been selected so that the diffusion and the impact could be the greatest possible. In this project the use of educational platforms such as eTwinning will be a useful tool for our collaboration."

"Our new project ""The Art of Recycling and Reuse"" will be carried out by the participation of five schools: Istituto Di Istruzione Superiore ""Benedetti - Tommaseo"" Venice (Italy) , Gymnasium Altona Hamburg (Germany), I.I.S.S. Majorana-Laterza Putignano (Italy), ""Lycée Général et Technologique Jean-Baptiste De Baudre"" Agen (France) and I.E.S. San Sebastián Huelva (Spain). The five of us are highly skilled in TESL, ICT and have previously collaborated in COMENIUS projects with a satisfactory outcome to the whole community. It has been chosen following the AIMS specified in Europe 2020 Targets and Erasmus + in order to improve the DIGITAL competence through the use of ICTs as an important means in the development of the activities proposed; to enhance cleanliness and ENVIRONMENT preservation within and outside our educational environment, to provide strong foundations for its SUSTAINABILITY in the future to change the look of our schools and surroundings in terms of : neatness, organization, handling of resources, changes of mentality cutting down on unnecessary shopping (mobile phones, electronic devices), improvement of the state of our rivers, beaches, lakes and parks. It is an integrating project where European VALUES will be fostered. To achieve these goals, a set of comprehensive ACTIVITIES have been planned both by students and teachers at the different schools: an online platform to provide a second life to the recycled material, a website designed to capture and spread performed activities, partner communication of the process achievement through e-Twinning, at-school recycling of batteries, paper, books, plastic, electronic components, clean-up journeys to beaches or river banks and an eco-friendly garden. Our METHODOLOGY will enhance an active participation of the community motivating them by means of varied, realistic and viable awareness activities, as well as an objective evaluation of results through observation, questionnaires or surveys. The expected IMPACT of the project will be the improvement in the attitudes of citizens to reusing materials and to short and long-term environmental concern. Spreading the project RESULTS through the mass media to increase benefit is intended."

Project idea: Sustainability and Circular Economy training for secondary school students with the intent of disseminating information within the local community.Objectives: Creation of a series of tools aimed at raising awareness among different age groups (teenagers, young children and adults) of the need for a more sustainable progress to be achieved with a shift towards a Circular Economy.Content: The project wants to teach students about environmental problems caused by the traditional Linear Economy which exploits resources in an unsustainable way without thinking about future generations. Students should become familiar with the concept of Circular Economy based on the use of renewable resources with the final aim of sharing their knowledge.The project will include theory and practical sessions in the form of traditional lessons, workshops and visits.Students will acquire the relevant knowledge through lab activities concerning recycling materials, by playing a board game devised by the CNR (National Research Centre) of Bologna in cooperation with several European partners called “Eco-Ceo” and by visiting local companies, Research Centres or Universities that are already working within a Circular Economy or towards implementing it.To start with, students will carry out three surveys among the different age-groups in their own country to assess any previous knowledge on the issue and to inform their choice about the nature and the content of the final dissemination tools. The students from different European schools will communicate through the eTwinning platform to coordinate activities, discuss results and decide the next steps.Once acquired the necessary knowledge, students will then be required to create a series of tools to share information about ways to promote a change from our current Linear Economy to a more eco-friendly system. For example students could create a video or a powerpoint presentation to inform their peers or adults (teaching staff, relatives, members of the local communities, local councillors etc.) and a board game or a comic for younger children. The partner schools will work together towards the outcomes aimed at the different age groups according to the results from the initial surveys.Given the relevance of the topic, dissemination will be a fundamental aspect and will take place beyond the project's deadline. A further conference open to other secondary schools will see students presenting their work and giving feedback on the whole experience. The project’s materials will be published on the school homepage, on the Erasmus+ section of the school website and on the eTwinning platform.Benefits: There will be obvious benefits for the students in terms of learning about a very relevant and contemporary issue which is fundamental for the future of our planet. Besides, the various activities should promote teamwork, problem-solving skills and the ability to share knowledge. Thanks to visiting businesses, Research Centres or Universities students will also have the chance to learn about employment opportunities within the market concerning this fairly new type of economy.There will be further benefits for the people belonging to the school community and to the local community in general, at whom the final outcome of the project is aimed.Finally the students will clearly have a great chance to improve their English skills and their cultural knowledge by working with another European Partner.Required partners: One European school, beside the leading one, one local business, Research Centre or University in each country working in the recycling sector, the CNR of Bologna which will support our theory lesson and the lab activities.

"“It goes on being Alexandria still. Just walk a bit along the straight road that ends at the Hippodrome and you'll see palaces and monuments that will amaze you. Whatever war-damage it's suffered, however much smaller it's become, it's still a wonderful city...."" This poem of Constantine Cavafy inspired us to start this""odyssey"" which is related to Cultural Heritage and it is about UNESCO World Gultural Heritage monuments and cultural heritage monuments which need protection and preservation, are considered to be of outstanding value to humanity and whose conservation is important for current and future generations. As 2018 was the European Year of Cultural Heritage, cultural heritage was to be understood, cherished and celebrated, therefore students of six partner schools from Greece, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, Spain and Estonia decided to become guardians of this heritage for the next generations and this educational value of cultural heritage was emphasized in this project, as was its contribution to sustainable economic and social development. The two- year project was carried out by 108 students aged 16-17 who proposed these monuments to be included on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List by exchanging expertise and good practice after attending seminars, online courses and their creativity and skills linking culture with the multi-cultural and socio-economic dimensions of European societies nowadays. This was achieved by students’ constructing a website, producing 3D Reconstructions, GIS, videos, brochures of the proposing monuments, puzzles of the monuments, collaborative drama performances and concerts giving life to the monuments, educational trips to the UNESCO World Cultural monuments and the proposed monuments of each partners’ region so as students investigated which criteria were of outstanding value for their proposals, preparing the proposal plans with the assistance of the local authorities and their National UNESCO offices. An Educational kit was produced with all the materials created by students and learners which will be distributed in local and school libraries, UNESCO National offices, local authorities .It is also in digital form which can be replied easily and cost free and can distributed on local authorities',ASP school projects' websites, eTwinning platform and Erasmus+ Project Results Platform. All the meetings and the activitieswere designed to serve the effectiveness of the project and the pursuing of its general objectives. It offeedr high quality, academically sound education to a European student body in a supportive and understanding environment,promoted a positive attitude towards creativity, allowing students to actively engage in the learning process, encouraged cultural understanding, tolerance and the enjoyment of diversity, developed students' self-esteem and a sense of respect for others and addressed the need for ongoing staff and curriculum development. This projec twas an exciting trip to preserved cultural heritage monuments starting from Troy in Turkey via Filippi in Greece, Alberobello in Italy, Universidad de Alcalá in Spain, Bom Jesus do Monte in Portugal,ending in Northern Europe in Hermann Castle in Estonia following a parallel route to monuments of outstanding importance in these European regions, the villages of Gokceada, Ancient Avdera, San Martino church, Sete Fontes,The Infantado Palace and the Castle of Narva, which need protection and preservation."

The target group of the project is high school students and teachers of study programs Graphic production and Clothing Design. The goal of the project is the development of specialized competencies and language skills of students and teachers. The form of international cooperation and the opportunity to work in an international team is a way which our school has been supporting for a long time and we consider it to be important and effective. There are 4 partners from 4 countries participating in the project – the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy and Germany. During the whole project the students will work in international teams/workgroups and they will do so in two ways:-with the help of eTwinning, where they will prepare for the international workshops through mutual communication-at international workshops where they will cooperate to fulfil mutual tasks There will be at least 12 participating students from each country and 1 accompanying person. The project will have clear and measurable outputs:-16 presentations in English language on a given topic (each school will prepare 4 presentations, each of 10 slides)-16 dresses and accessories on a given topic (each school will prepare 4 dresses and accessories)-16 photographs of the models on a given topic (each school will prepare 4 photographs)-a calendar made out of the photographs-a catalogue of all the photographs-a video documenting the project-4 articles for a local press-outputs from international workshops (depend on the tasks given by each partner)-each country will have an exhibition of photographs and models connected with a preview/vernissage The exhibition of the photographs and models of project outputs is an important finale of the project. We want to dedicate enough time to this task so that the collection of all the items can be exhibited in the country of each of the project partners. Teachers of specialized subjects and also students will participate in the installation of an exhibition. During each exhibition, the project will be introduced to the public.Long-term benefits of the project:-further cooperation of schools and the continuation of the cooperation even after the end of the project-creation of materials which will be useable in specialized subject classes and English classes (student presentations)-improvement of specialized language competences of students and teachers; the usage of gained knowledge in classes-support of cultural and historical reference as a source of inspiration for the creation of quality and professional outputs-improvement of PR of schools in their region, increased interest in study programs of Graphical design and Clothing design
