The main priority of the project was to support the subjects of natural sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology), ICT and technical education, and also to connect the concept of STEM to the development of creativity. Moreover, important elements of the project were linking up education to a real environment, and teamwork at school and international level. The vast majority of activities were focused on group and collective learning in different environments, so the number of pupils involved was high. The project was going on two levels, school and international. The school part of the project was based on regularity, everyday activities, pupil's own motivation and participation calls. The project consisted of a number of sub-activities that ran continuously throughout the school year and were presented on the project website. These activities included class projects focusing on natural sciences and ICT subjects, lectures, discussions, as well as exhibitions and excursions to museums and science centers. The second level was represented by cooperation with our partner schools. Each partner school chose one topic from STEM. The school together with the local community prepared a five-day conference programme on the topic. The programme included workshops, discussions, competitions, exhibitions, cultural events, museum visits, meetings with experts, etc. The project focused not only on cognitive educational goals, but also on affective and social ones. Pupils learned to use their abilities, skills and knowledge, to find creative solutions and to create a positive relationship and motivation to study natural sciences and technical subjects. Pupils also learned to present results of their work both in the school environment and at international events. Thanks to the project, pupils also developed their cooperative and communication skills and met pupils from other European countries and learned mutual respect.

"This initiative starts from early opportunities of encounters between teachers of schools working together. It involves an approximate number of 170 European students from the Czech Republic and Italy over a period of two years.The so-called YOUNG EUROPE project is aimed to increase the spirit of European citizenship and to promote the development of ""well-being"", good relations and proper lifestyles.It also will provide a set of activities developed in English for CLIL methodology and in Italian as foreign languages. In addition, it is aimed to empower students entrepreneurship, at the lower middle school level. In the project, the core activities are four international meetings: two in the Czech Republic (First and Second International Spring Meeting - SIM) and two in Fiemme Valley-Trentino (Dolomite International Meetings - DIM). These meetings will give the students the opportunity to meet peers of the same age, and share with them experience and ideas about a common discussion focus, as a conclusion of a common distance work carried out in the previous months.The issues of exploration will be shared with the participants in order to increase motivation and they will be focused on active involvement, proper lifestyles, social relationship, awareness of cultural identity. They will reinforce the understanding of the encounter with different cultures and common European citizenship.The development of the activities will promote access to ICT, which are playing an increasingly predominant role in contemporary society.“Young Europe” includes teamwork strategies and active working methods aimed at promoting a sense of accountability and self-reliance. The process is aimed at the production of tools of didactic and cultural interest (CLIL units and a ""Young Europe Guide"") which will be shared in the area where the community belongs to, and in the wider national communityThe project includes public meetings (Parties) and the creation and the publishing of a trilingual handbook written in Italian, Czech and English, addressed to young students. The handbook provides a guide to specific features of the areas where participant members come from, and a depth on citizenship and other issues of common interest. The project is a great opportunity for individual and collective growth. The involved organisations will benefit from international partnership and cooperative working focused on CLIL methodology.English will be the common language in planning all the activities, whom evidence will be documented by format shared with Universities or research institutes. The lingua franca will facilitate the dissemination within the professional community and among the involved schools.Evidence of the project will be shown at the national school meeting called “Festival delle Lingue” and lead in Rovereto (TN).Participating teachers will share templates and working tools during meetings or by distance communication moments (ICT).In Prague and in Cavalese, university professors or experts of international certified training centres will provide professional growth to teachers, thanks to common training in CLIL and follow up activities. The project is also qualified by an inclusive perspective which allows the overcoming of linguistic barriers and difficulties and promotes peer interaction and knowledge of European cultural realities."
