"Context and objectives Sustainable development, access to employment and education of disadvantaged students are 3 priorities of the EU. Our project: "" Nature Our Wealth"" (NOW), aims at gathering these 3 themes through a 2-year Erasmus+ partnership. We plan to study the relation between man and nature, observe and share good practices in the field of sustainable development and explore the jobs linked to the green economy. Participants This goal will be reached through international comparisons led by the 3 partners scholls: Fenix Kultur-och-Kunskapscentrum in Sweden, PubliczneLiceum Ogolnoksztalcace nr V w Opulu in Poland, and Lycée Chrestien de Troyes in France. Each scholl is located in a geographical area presenting different natural backgrounds and a diversity of practices and jobs related to sustainable development. On the other side, the 3 scholls have similar pedagogical concerns and social situations, as well as a common approach of project management. Activities and methods Our project is based on recurrent activities during each mobility , between mobility and a permanent work on etwinning platform. -study of nature and conferences to learn and share knowledge -meetings, interviews, photos, films and videos, in order to realize a good practices guide to sustainable development. -meetings, interviews, photos, films and videos, in order to realize a guide to job opportunities in sustainable development -artistic creations to promote an alternative vision of nature and raise awareness on sustainable development Between each mobility, a photo exhibition is organized at every season to compare the climate variation and maintain a link for the partners beyond the different journeys. The methods of the project NOW rely on a series of experiences in the field: our students will meet people from conpanies,associations,universities,public or private agencies invested in sustainable development. They will make interviews, articles, photos, videos in order to realize own-produced digital guides. A major importance will be granted to a multilingual collaboration ( common work in english, and initiation to other foreign languages at the beginning of each mobility), and to a cross-cultural approach ( comparing and sharing good practices). This 3-members partnership opportunity is given by the Erasmus+European Program. Impact and results The tangible results of our partnership are: realization of a good practices guide to sustainable development, relization of a guide to job opportunities in sustainable development, photos exhibitions,artistic creations,conferences and meetings, website NOW and a sustainable development day in each school. The intangible results are: skills improvement for each participant in biology, chemistry,climatology,geography,economy,political sciences,management,arts, and of course foreign languages. Due to the multidisciplinary aspect of our project, the participants will learn how to conncet these fields and increase their expertise of sustainable development. Transversal skills such as IT will also be improved throughout this project.Besides,open-mindedness,autonomy,team collaboration,personal motivation and a new approach of nature will be strengthened during the project. Finally,a better knowledge of jobs and professional requirements will allow the students to get prepared for their future profession,or help the teachers to play their role as careers advisers. The dissemination of the tangible results will be done through multimedia realizations spread at a local and international level, and maintained thereafter through the Internet site and other digital media. The project will also create long-term partnerships with local institutions, as well as between the 3 members of this Erasmus+ partnership."

Technical schools from Sweden - Vaggeryd, Czech Republic - Pardubice and Slovakia - Prešov are focused on teaching IT subjects notably 3D programming, modelling, electronics, robotics. They are also well equipped with needed 3D equipment. Partners decided to exploit these conditions and create rehabilitation aids for handicapped children which became the main objective of the Erasmus KA 229+ project. Students´ teams made not only 9 planned but 14 aids (SK 6, SE 3, CZ 5). Involved students learned/practised needed knowledge not only in school IT subjects but they became highly motivated to make aids on the best level and studied new programmes on their own. This approach became decisive factor during SARS CoV epidemic when schools were closed and students could get methodical teachers help online only. Even in this period teams completed highly sophisticated electronic aids above the plan. Since all participants intensively communicated via digital means, personally during LTTAs, studied English materials they deepened English language skills well. During LTTAs they also learned basic expressions of partners´ languages. LTTAs belong to the most intensive tool of cooperation, exchange of professional experience, learning partners´ culture, lifestyle. Students cooperated in transnational teams, completed planned aids, underwent lectures and practiced work with 3D programmes, 3D printer, Arduino, sensors and others. They also made quality videos about the mobility, about an aid making and projected presentations about their countries, the previous mobility. Hosts prepared excursions to companies with robotic production (SE, CZ), sightseeing, ethnographic trips.Unfortunately, the last mobility prepared in CZ had to be cancelled because of epidemic and could not be arranged even if the project implementation was extended by one year. Partners used project extension for making aids above the plan, they communicated online, delivered aids to sanatorium in their country only but the whole programme of the last mobility was impossible to complete.Between mobility students deepened knowledge needed for aids completing, created prototypes of planned aids and verified them in sanatoriums, improved them in compliance with doctors suggestions. Attention was devoted to dissemination. Participants made presentations, videos about the mobility and projected them in school classes, at parents meeting, at school Open Door, in case they were arranged. Articles were published on school websites, school news, local press (CZ, SE). You tube, also roll ups were displayed in schools. RESULTSAll planned results were completed. Each team made labyrinths operated by hands, by legs and sophisticated electronic aids run by programmes - robotic glove, tractor reacting on the wrist movement (CZ), 3D labyrinth (SK). This demanded deep students´ knowledge of electrical circuits, programming, 3D modelling, 3D printing, assembling, use of Bluetooth communication. Description of made aids has been published on the web https://3dschoolaids.eu/models.Participating students created electronic, also speaking dictionary in the programming language Java. It can be used by mobile phones. Teachers made E-L introduction to Arduino. Dissemination means were created by students as well: instruction video about an aid creating, videos and presentations about each LTTA, roll up.All project results, its implementation is recorded on the project web made by the student: http://www.3daidsforhandicappedchildren.eu LONGER TERM BENEFITSMade aids will be used for rehabilitation in sanatoriums in partners towns which is going to offer them to similar institutions. Web with aids can be used as the instruction how to complete other aids. Students who made aids improved their knowledge which was evaluated well while passing maturita exam. They successfully passed entrance exam to university and they are well prepared for the following studies. Younger team members have made the core of students realizing the following Erasmus project “Visual Aids to Make Learning/Teaching Easier”.

The project 3D techniques was realized in cooperation of 3 secondary technical European Schools: Sweden - Vaggeryd, Slovakia - Prešov, Czech Republic - Pardubice. All partners experience of this and previous project (e.g. Leonardo da Vinci) proved that Strategic Partnership Projects are effective tools with a deep educational all-round impacts on participants. They improve their professional, social, language skills, European awareness, personal qualities. The main objective of the 3DT project was to achieve the higher quality of students professional competences by means of their intensive work on the project results. Learners of the 1st – 4th classes (CZ, SK; 4 classes SW) learned and trained 3D modelling, created 3D models in ICT and practice lessons. The core - students project teams - also worked in 3DT clubs as well as on their own. They learned to assemble and use 3D printer, elaborated and assembled school aids, made the training video about it; created and managed the project website (www.3dtechniques.eu), website displaying made aids with instructions (https://3dschoolaids.eu); formed videos, posters, presentations about LTTAs; wrote articles about project activities to be published on school websites, in the local press. Teachers of partners made training E-l programme. Another objective was innovation of school curricula which were upgraded with programmes used by partners - 3DS Max is taught on a higher level (CZ), assembling use of 3D printer started being taught in practice lessons (CZ, SK), 3D modelling in all classes (SW). Work on the project implementation deepend cooperation of ICT teachers in each partner school. Partners realized 4 study exchanges in their schools. Main objectives of their programmes were to teach/learn 3D techniques to deepen participants knowledge, exchange study experience while working in transnational teams. The LTTAs programmes included a lesson of the hosts tongues and learning partners culture by undergoing sightseeing tours, excursion in museums, places of natural beauties. Students created videos about each partner schools, towns, countries which were performed to their classmates, school staffs, parents, the public. Teachers also familiarized each other with his methods in teaching 3DT, ICT and innovative methods. Impact on participants was evaluated by surveys, questionnaires, by their school marks. These means proved that involved students deepened their skills of 3D techniques use, language, communication competences, European awareness, personal qualities. Most of them rated improvement as very much (at about 60%), average (30-40 %). Public reactions on dissemination actions were also positive. All results, project implementation is accessible on the project website – www.3dtechniques.eu

"The project “Visual aids for easier learning/teaching” will be completed by 6 partners – technical secondary schools from BG Burgas, GR Aigion, FR Dijon, SL Prešov, SE Vaggeryd, CZ Pardubice.These schools provide education to at about 1 000 students aged 15 – 19 (12 – 19 BG). Taught branches are concentrated on Mathematics, Physics, ICT, Electrical engineering, Electronics, Science, (BG), Wind turbine maintenance (FR), others.Each partner is going to create 6 quality videos which should visualize learning/teaching technical subjects, Mathematics, Science. The aim is to make learning of its difficult parts more clear, understandable. One video will popularize a subject(s) students consider to be interesting, belong to their favourite. Its choice will be based on eTwinning project ""My favourite subject(s)"" Participating members will be students studying Multimedia subjects and/or are interested in videos making, at about 30 at each school. They will learn/deepen knowledge and skills needed for the quality videos making (handle with camera, do script, cut, soundtrack, animation, video effects, write titles, use distribution means). They will also learn basics of programs used by video makers in each school ( For example Adobe Premiere - Pinnacle Studio, Audacity, Subtitle Workshop, Animate, Affects, media Encode) Apart from professional aims the project implementation includes other objectives and benefits - partners will exchange methods of teaching multimedia and technical subjects which will enrich their school curricula. Teachers will process “Methodology of video teaching” to help beginners. Participants will considerably enrich awareness about 6 countries cultures, lifestyle; they will improve English, learn basics of each partner language; deepen team work while cooperating in international teams; increase motivation to self- study. Personal development (responsibility, reliability) cannot be neglected.Project implementation is divided into 6 learning/teaching phases, each is focused on precision of one step of video creating precision which will be realized by making 1 video. At the end of each phase partners will cooperate in LTTA, gradually at each partner school. Made videos will be projected, evaluated, discussed there. Students will also create short videos/clips in international teams to exchange practical experience, improve learned skills during LTTAs.Dissemination belongs to inseparable parts of the project. Participants will make videos, presentations about each LTTA which they will perform in classes, at school events, to the public - at parents meetings, Open school door, others.Visual aids will be accessible for interested schools since they will be published on the project web in the file MP4, You tube, eTwinning and Erasmus platforms. Other dissemination means will be roll ups, posters, noticeboards, short performance on Amos Visual interactive panels installed in 30 CZ schools. Popularization technical studies and the project implementation, results will be also made by articles published in the local press, at the meetings of headmasters, in SIPO (methodical web) of the Czech School Ministry. Variety of knowledge which students obtain will be definitely used in the future as well be as visual aids will be used in schools for teaching and self-studies. Some these schools can follow the method of making videos to visualize learning/teaching."
