"Considering the changing of young people learning process, their difficulties in attention and concentration, low motivation, diversity in the classrooms which grow more and more multicultural, the partners, who had previously collaborated in other project either Comenius or e-Twinning, exchanging experiences and also comparing the results of national system for self evaluation, noticed that they shared the same educational needs:- fight passivity towards learning and knowledge- improve European citizenship- recognize the value of other cultures- promote inclusion - enable success for all students- improve students skills and competences- enhance teachers professional development The project: ""ACcelerating Creativity: Exploring and Practising Tools in Image editiNG"", acronym ""ACCEPTING"" was the response to their shared educational needs and the opportunity to evolve the Educational needs into educational goals.The project was based on young people natural abilities to communicate through images especially photos and videos.The project promoted a more student-centred learning approach by exploting this point of strength of youth as the starting point for an educational path that led them to explore, experience and acquire some jobs techniques. The project also hightened creativity in educational process proposing an interdisciplinary approach to learning, as students were asked to research new and more original uses of images to communicate on different subjects. The images were created, manipulated by using ICT tools, they had to asses the viability of their work, show their outcomes to teachers and other students and other audiences. The project, explored the language of images, in which young people are very sensitive and that with its immediacy exceeds the limits of language, diversity and disability, promoting more inclusive methodologies, and enhancing participation and learning performace of disadvantaged learners, reducing disparities in learning outcomes. Diversity was the basis for gaining experience of this way of communicate.The project achieved the following objectives:- promoted foreign language learning- increased the use of Information and Communication Technologies- helped children to express themselves and their ideas- developed critical thinking-.combated discrimanation and bullying- experienced enterpreneurship by being manager of their own creation- created innovative, exciting and motivating learning opportunities- evolved and evaluated methods of teaching- shared and improved teaching skills- created a schools network for the exchange of good practices - prevented early school leavingThe project produced the following project Results:- Project Logo- Photo Exhibition: phots of school enviroments and neighborhoods- Video Tutorial: Halloween Crafts- Newspaper: aticles about recent school events, national sport event, culture, word games- Travel Agency: advertisment of a three days tour in partners countries- Project Website- Project Blog- Journal of Good practices exchange: padlet- e-Twinning projectThe project was addressed to pupils of primary and secondary schools from 5 to 12 years old. All pupils were involved in the project as diversity is the field where the objectives of the project have been pursed.The project also addressed to teachers: primary school teachers, secondary school teachers and kindergarten teachers.Teachers of different school subjects with competences in ICT, English language, Media Literacy, Photo and Video editing.The project attained impact on:- school communities and local stakeholders which need to widen interest in school activities and be sensitized about educational needs of young people.- families who need to approach growing multiculturalism in our urban areas and widen knowledge about new generation educational needs and school strategies.- teachers who need to strenghten their professional profiles"

"The partners, in project"" Designed Intervention of Enviromentally Collaborative Initiatives"", Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Poland and Hungary met on the eTwinning platform.Some of them have already collaborated in previous eTwinning and Erasmus+ initiatives and have shared the same concerns regarding equity and inclusion in education: in last years a change in the learning process of young people has taken place: they show certain insicurities and difficulties in attention and concentration; motivation to learn is often low; technologies speed up the world; societies are increansigly complicated since the migration flows make the social environment multicultural, multilingual and multireligious. Children's social skills are inadequate. There are too many disparities in learning outcomes and students ofthen abandon school at very young age. Considering this background and the need to face the new educational challenges teachers need to widen their professional profiles and model them in a European dimension. The partner schools, despite their differences in geographical situations and number of pupils, share a similar background and they need to face the same educational challenges. They believe that through a European collaboration based on the exchange of experiences, skills, innovative methodologies and good practices between teachers, students and school communities, the following objectives can be achieved:The Erasmus+ project aims at developing two main types of goals. Short term goals focusing on developing new knowledge, skills and competences in students related to the topics of environment protection, climate change, eco-friendly and sustainable behaviours, socialization, European Citizenship and English language.Long term objectives: streghten teachers profiles; improve collaboration with stakeholders; improve the quality of educational offer; promote inclusion; motivate learning and prevent early school leaving; envision new job profiles.Each school contributes to the project with it's own expertise: Italian school is experienced in Inclusion and innovative inclusive methodologies such as: Universal Design for Learning, Cooperative learning, Flipped classroom ; the Spanish school is experienced in Project based learning, the coordinator is an eTwinning ambassador; the Portuguese school is experienced in bilingual teaching and especially CLIL methodology; the Hungarian school is exeperienced in Environment subjects teaching and is an awarded Eco-school;Greek school is engaged in environment protection and is experienced in teaching Literacy in ICT environments; Polish school is experienced in stimulating learning activities such as Coding and Robotics. Three are eTwinning schoolsThe topic of the environment is a very current, concrete and global topic in which young people have a great interest and are eager to be active and make their own contribution to save the planet. The project involves them in practical activities that will allow them to ""learn by doing"". Through the activities, pupils will have to think about their responsibilities and consequences of their life styles on the environment. They will compare the results with European partners and will give the problem a European dimension. Students will work in teams in cooperation not competition. The cooperation with partners in a multicultural environment will improve European sense of belonging and will help to reduce prejudices. They will become more active citizens both as protectors of the environment and as protectors of democracy.Teachers will collaborate to exchange their experiences, will practice peer training, each school will share their competences with partner teachers.They will strengthen their professional profiles achieving competences of more motivating and inclusive teaching methodologies.Results: Logo project; Collection of Hystograms and Pie Charts; Eco Magazine: Power Point on Climate Change; Guide of European Environmental Organizations; Eu Booklet of Green Behaviors; Project Website; Journal of students experiences.We have planned to use the eTwinning for preparation, implementation and follow up of project: https://twinspace.etwinning.net/102826/home title ""Young Ecologist in action"".Methodologies based on inclusion, cooperation and comparison will improve the quality of the educational offer. It will hopefully reduce deparities in learning outcomes and will reduce early school leaving.The professional development of teachers, may have further impact on their employment or motivativation to pursue further education and training.Awareness on issues of environment and protection of the planet will have an impact on life quality as well as on the life of future generations.Multicultural learning environments will encourage a European sense of belonging that will help to prevent prejudices, stereotypes and the resurgence of anti-European feelings and will promote European democracy"
