Nowadays Europe debates the lack of tolerance and respect and the rise of extremist movements. A partnership formed by four schools- IIS ENRICO MEDI, Leonforte, Italy, CDP Santa Maria de Los Angeles, Málaga, Spain, A Escola Secundária Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, Caldas da Rainha, Portugal and Gymnázium V. Mihálika Sereď, Slovakia decided to contribute to this current issue by preparing a project whose aim is to lead students to a better EU citizenship avoiding dangerous acts of intolerance, xenophobia and even violence against minorities. Our project is called NOE, which is an abbreviation of its title: No to Extremism- remember our past, created to avoid making the same mistakes our nations made during the period of World War II and in particular, Holocaust. As biblical Noah (in Slovak NOE) gathered all the animals in his ark in order to survive the flood, in one phase of the project students will gather the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, they will gather opinions of their peers, parents, grandparents about war to form a new generation of Holocaust witnesses (based on Elie Wiesel legacy: “When you listen to a witness, you become a witness) when soon there will be no more Holocaust survivors, so their message endures. The objectives of the project are to learn from each other and share best practices in order to develop a transnational pedagogical approach to Holocaust and anti-extremism education. This project highlights the importance of thinking critically, recognizing facts from hoaxes and propaganda not to repeat mistakes from the past, particularly from the period of WWII. It aims at motivating teenagers to learn more about history of their countries including the painful period of World War II. Also it will contribute to struggle against discrimination, xenophobia and racism, for example through workshops in the Museum of Holocaust in Sereď. On another stage of our project, it aims to enhance students' skills that are necessary to achieve democratic culture such as learning to learn, analytical and critical thinking, listening and observing, empathy, flexibility and adaptability, linguistic, communicative skills, co-operation, and conflict-resolution. Through these skills, we want to highlight the benefits of active citizenship and demonstrate that teachers can contribute to the creation of sustainable democracies. Participants of this project are students from 16-19 years old, 120 of them will take part in the exchanges and approximately 500 students will be affected indirectly. There will be at least 20 teachers participating actively and other 50 affected indirectly. Other target groups include host families, local community and the media. Some student activities, including listening to a former neo-Nazi or a story of a Holocaust survivor, will help students relate to these abstract concepts through personal accounts. Other student activities, such as creating a photo exhibition will engage students in thinking about stereotypes, prejudice and the consequences of unequal treatment. They will lead to strengthening of the students’ democratic values.Apart from these activities held at schools and implemented via online management tools such as eTwinning, there will be 6 transnational meetings planned in 2 years. There will be different issues solved on each of these meetings, such as “Recognizing fake news and propaganda on social sites and evaluation of sources”, “Impact of misinformation in media and social sites on growing extremism in Europe”, “Educating critical thinking of youth through media literacy” and “Holocaust and its role in European heritage”. The tangible results will be a website, short films, an e- book, a photo exhibition and a conference. With regard to methodology a student – oriented approach, critical thinking methods and experience- based education will be used. The impact of the project will be measured by surveys and questionnaires about values and attitudes of the participants.We hope this project will lead to long- term relationship among the partner schools and an inspiration for other common projects.

"In all our schools we work on Health Education from the early stages of Early Childhood Education. We start teaching children the importance of body hygiene, we continue with food and the need to ""eat everything."" Later we show them the relationship between diet and health, the importance of sport and we teach them driver education. When we finish primary school, we talk about eating disorders, we teach them how to prepare a complete and balanced diet, and in secondary school we expand on the risks of excess internet use, drug consumption, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Dealing with all these issues is essential for the correct development and personal growth of our students, but at what point do we teach them to care for others? When do we explain how they should behave in the face of the asthmatic crisis of a partner, or the loss of consciousness of a friend or even in the event of a significant nosebleed of the child who falls face-first in the yard? Are the teachers prepared to give these explanations?Currently, first aid is not treated properly in schools. In most schools, the Physical Education teacher or the Biology teacher give certain notes about it in their classes or, in some cases, the educational authorities facilitate small courses or workshops taught by health personnel, who do everything they can to adapt their technical knowledge to a child audience. Without a doubt, it is neither sufficient nor efficient.The schools that make up this project consider it necessary to make a change to the training techniques and guidelines for action in first aid. Confucius is credited with the phrase “tell me, and I will forget; show it to me and I'll remember it; Get me involved and I'll learn it.” We agree with this thought and therefore, we have decided that we will create the first aid training materials that we will use later to share with our educational community, and we will do it together, teachers and students, using innovative methodologies. such as cooperative work or problem-based learning, in which both groups are equally involved, and we all learn from everyone.To work on this project, each school will create a specific working group of teachers and students (between 3 and 8 teachers and between 16 and 24 students from 11 to 14 years old). Throughout the 2-year project, this group will prepare files and presentations on various common first aid practices (such as CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, etc.) and later, during the LTTAs, translate it into explanatory videos. More usual aspects of Health Education will also be worked on through infographics, posters and other works, the elaboration of which can be shared with the rest of the classmates or class members of the group. The members of the Erasmus group will also do small workshops for colleagues, and even for parents, in which they will present the work done.An important part for the development of the project will also be the work carried out through the eTwinning platform: complementary activities to those carried out in the LTTAs, such as competitions to better understand each partner country, challenges, photo albums, classes of the own languages, etc.It will be a project with a clear vocation of service for the entire school. The obvious objectives for students and teachers to learn new teaching and learning methodologies, or to improve their skills in the use of ICTs or in linguistic communication in English, or to deepen their knowledge of the EU, personal and social growth objectives will be added: students will empathize with those who suffer from diseases such as epilepsy or suffer frequent asthmatic attacks or fainting spells, who, in turn, will be encouraged to be included because they are better understood by his companions.We will create various evaluation systems for the different results and the various activities. From knowledge tests based on gamification to self and coevaluation rubrics. We will also seek the opinion of health professionals and specialized teachers to assess our products more objectively.The sustainability of the project over time in each school will be assured, since the management teams of the 5 educational centers are convinced of its need and give their full support.For its part, the dissemination of the results, which will begin practically at the local level, will eventually be able to be extended to schools across Europe thanks to the use of eTwinning or the Results Platform of the Erasmus + Projects."
