"This project has involved secondary school students and staff from 5 small-to-big sized towns from Hungary, Lithuania, Italy, Macedonia and Turkey which have identified common interests and issues and have resolved to address those through cooperation. As we live in a digital era students can hardly imagine their life without mobile phones and computers. Therefore, the project was elaborated to respond to the needs of our students to acquire and improve their know-how in terms of developing mobile applications, a skill which they will use even after the school years, no matter what careers they may choose to follow. We wanted to make students break the barrier between passive consumption of mobile apps to the active usage of mobile development tools. The project addressed the age group of 15-18 years old students in our schools. The students came from different cultural, economical and financial background. The participants were chosen from this target group based on their digital skills, language skills and their school results.The main aims of the project were:- to acquaint the target group with the requirements of mobile apps development-to motivate our students to contribute to the creation of new mobile apps actively-to improve the participants’ digital skill-to improve the participants’ cultural competencies-to improve communication skills in English and other languages of the partners-to help all the participants develop tolerance, mutual respect and intercultural understanding-to make all project members and students’ organisational, teamwork and data manipulation skills betterThere were 57 students who participated the LTTAs – 14 from Hungary, 14 from Lithuania, 15 from Italy and 14 from Turkey with an additional number of 20-24 students from the host institution for whom a grant is not given but they attended to the activities.The project also involved teachers of IT who could improve their material base and ensured the sustainability of the project results. The teachers who attended the meetings are teachers of IT and English, a number of 35 teacher mobilities were involved.We had 4 LTTAs and two transnational meetings:C1 - Lithuania- March 2018 - Basics of Android studio and Java scriptC2 - Hungary - September 2018 - 12 steps in creating and releasing a mobile appC3 - Italy - November 2018 - Mobile apps for school purposesC4 - Macedonia - Mar 2019 - Mobile apps on the topic of ""Being European""M1 - December 2017 (Hungary) - Planning the projectM2 - June2019 (Turkey) - Evaluating the projectInternational activities both for teachers and students included seminars about the topics mentioned above were held by professionals and experts.Our main product is a coursebook entitled ""Mobile apps for schools"", also mobile apps developed by students furthermore initial and final questionnaires , impact studies in addition project website, Facebook page, eTwinning account, Facebook discussion group and Whatsapp group and also certificates of attendace. After mobilities the host country made the LTTA minutes and evaluation reports they were shared with all partners.Our students have acquired mobile app development skills that they can use in their future jobs as they are aware of how mobile applications are being developed in 12 steps and how to make a skeleton of a simple mobile application.They could improve their professional and language skills, as well as communication skills. Our teacher colleagues have improved leadership skills, organisational skills and problem-solving abilities also their level of English improved. Beside all of that mobilities gave unforgettable experiencies to all paticipants learning a lot about different cultures, customs and traditions and values of other societies. Working together helped the cohesion among members of our staff and we could make a lot of friends during the two years. Our colleagues Erasmus+ project management skills have improved a lot what we can use it for a better organized project in the future. As our partner institutions are connected we may develop future Erasmus+ initiatives together."

"The central theme of our project ""What makes you different makes you beautiful"" is to deal with highly diverse classrooms while at the same time avoid early school leaving and improve students’ learning achievements. Our aim is a powerful school environment which respects diversity and supports all students making them to feel unique. Our special objectives are to help students from different backgrounds to be more self-confident and creative with better academic results, using all their social and cultural potential. We also foster to establish a positive and challenging climate and to bring up the respect for the values (religious, ethnic, personal) of other people promoting tolerance and openness to other cultures, people, languages, religions, customs and lifestyle, eliminating xenophobia and prejudice. In addition, we focus to promote oral, writing and research skills for different productions, as well as the use of foreign languages, communication, negotiation and debating skills and to familiarize students and teachers with ICT and audiovisual productions in a protected environment, providing tools for learning through entertainment and networking, within and among schools providing a model for collaborative learning and teamwork - as Lev Vygotsky wrote 'learning is cognitive development through social interaction’.For solving the problem of early school leaving and low academic results, we cannot use one-time actions and events, or studying only the theory; it is necessary to use methods and techniques that will allow each child, according to his age characteristics and abilities, not only to learn and understand, but also to feel and experience. That is why we have chosen creative activities such as outdoor activities, games, ICT, art. In addition, all our partners come from different schools, countries and social environments. Thus, we will share the strongest sides of each institution and will work to create non-boring techniques to strengthen the school environment, with motivating activities integrated in the school intra and extra curriculum context; we would like to implement and share active learning methods which take different types of learners into account. We want to make school days happier, more active in our own ways. The lessons will not be restricted to the national point of view but they will be enriched by innovative activities. Students will come into contact with different cultures and diversity; they will be able to practice new knowledge instead of just learning in a theoretical way.Finally, our results: the developed activities, lesson plans, games and materials will be available to youth organizations and schools. They can be used for new projects, lessons, formal and informal learning."

All the partners have taken the objectives of the 2020 ET framework into consideration. Two of the most important points stressed in that framework are :Improving the efficiency and quality of training and education and developing equity, social coherence and dynamic citizenship. In a world that is becoming progressively divided in some regards, it’s really sigificant for us to come together to get over discrimination in all its forms. In contrast to popular belief, bullying is not an obsolete phenomenon but in fact, it is a very current issue that lots of students are experiencing right now. Bullying affects more pupils than is generally believed, it can take place anywhere, in any situation and absolutely no one is immune to this fact. If bullying isn't dealt with immediately the victims of such incidents may turn to behaviors such as :drawing themselves into seclusion, bullying others, avoiding social communications, showing poor academic performance, in extreme cases committing suicide. These impacts on the students motivated us to create the idea of such a project.This project mainly aims to:*provide a chance to develop an intercultural understanding of bullying for the staff and the pupils thus tackling earlyschool leaving and promoting equity.* establish a more positive and moral communication quality in a European democratic identity and society.*create an inclusive environment and give direction and guidance to school authorities and school personnel in preventing and tackling school-based bullyingbehaviour among its pupils and in dealing with any negative impact within school of bullying behaviour that occurs elsewhere.*create a common website through which all the members of the partnership can communicate and share their experiences, this way we will also improve the self confidence , social networking safety skills of the pupils and help them tackle certain bullying problems.*set up an atmosphere where everyone can share their bullying prevention techniques through short films and role plays*reflect and set down the best ways to tackle bullying in local&national and international levels.*ensure that tackling bullying is a central consideration in all areas of the school environment and daily life.*provide students with appropriate social skills, emotional management skills, and the ability to understand others' emotions, to appreciate and forgive others*explicitly teach pupils about the appropriate use of social media so that they won't come across online bullying*provide an opportunity to learn and use English as a languageEach of the partners will use an approach which ensures that all the activities and results are shared in collaboration. It is expected that the project will host around 120 students and staff during five mobilities in Hungary ,Portugal, Spain ,Turkey and Italy in two years of project periodThe outputs of the project are:*5 short term exchange of students ( Hungary,Portugal, Spain, Turkey and Italy) during which the students will master on the use of neccessary techniques to tackle bullying by developing collaborative , communication , problem solving ,networking safety skills and critical thinking skills*Publishing a handbook purporting the ways of tackling bully at school.*Ceation of a portfolio which includes all the materials used and created during LTTA's*Collaboration of partners on e-twinning and other social networks like whatssup and facebook*Newsletters,local news outlets , leaflets and flyers*At least five short films and songs will be produced and published*Euro-pass documents for each student who participates in the mobilitiesIt's anticipated that the impact of the project will be sensed at various levels including students , other participants. We imagine that the project will help them develop many new skills to tackle bullying and prevent it, thanks to which a new horizon for many changes into the wider community will be laid out.It is foreseen that the project will;*Reduce possible violence arising from bullying among students*Provide a direct access to international approaches to prevent bullying at a European extent*Provide the students with a better cultural and language understanding.*Increase experience and understanding about such issues like online bullying,verbal bullying,social bullying and physical bullying besides providing the students and staff with a skill to understand and apply new social networking safety skills.*help the participants acquire a different perspective in bullying prevention and detection terms*Provide a direct access to international approaches to prevent bullying in a European extent*Maintain a broader understanding of the side effects of bullying and the ways which can be employed to tackle and get rid of it.The project has numerous advantages and they are permanent in the long run.Thanks to this project we shall be able to tackle bullying and create a bully free environment for our students

We are 6 participants: Bulgaria, Lithuania, Portugal, Croatia, Hungary, Spain. We are primary and secondary schools but we all have middle school students (at the age of 11-16). Considering the subject of the project, it focuses on a basic social goal-connections and social equality between people. Therefore, the project includes many social events such as joint sports games, mountain trekking, exploration of historical sites, common celebrations of local holidays and festivals, common folk dances etc. We will have 5 themes: EU awareness, Mentally Happy: Art and Music therapy, Sports/Activeness outdoor, Environmentally friendly, Food heritage. We can divide the exigency of this project into two parts. First- Educational reasons: We have observed that by the influence of the mass and social media and usage of the new IT tools in 21st century students have lost their concentration and motivation on the lessons. They don’t know how to study and how to learn efficiently. We always need to update educational methods. With this project we plan to prepare lesson plans combining different disciplines and apply these learning paths in classrooms on both national and international levels. Second- Cultural Reasons: We have chosen Fine arts, Music and Sport as the core center of the project ,because they enable to address all learnering types such as visual, audio and kinesthetic. And also Music, Fine arts and Sport give us a unique and productive source to address and unify all students and nations under one roof. Creating a better educational environment for students, preventing students from engaging in or being the victims of violence, decreasing the levels of early drop outs, decreasing inequality among our students. Through activities of the project, especially trekkings/ hikings proposed, students can develop a deep understanding of history and answer questions about the present by engaging with the past. They have the potential to spark curiosity and to be engaged in the dilemmas, choices and beliefs of people in the past. The project activities will empower our students, enabling them to generate positive impact at individual, community, national and European levels.
