We, the teachers from six different schools from six european countries (Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, France, Romania and Poland), defined following problem together the students still teach history extremely theoretically at many places, without using the huge possibilities given by technologies nowadays and its virtual dimension. It leads to the alienation from this subject and other problems, especially among students from ethnic minorities, disadvantaged children and migrants. And we faced up one more problem – the accuracy of information. History gives us good and bad examples. On the contrary, finding of positive examples can become an attractive stimulus for all students. Everyone can find his own reason to dive into depths of the ocean of historical knowledge. Through our work, we are looking for and exchange new models of work that give all students an equal access to quality education in motivating social and educational environment at school.The target groups were the following:students of our schools (aged 14-18), students of other schools, the students' families, teaching professionals.The project duration was 24 months, starting 01.09.2017.

It is necessary for new technology to take its place in the education, following the existing traditional forms. That is why our project aimed to improve the student’s abilities, skills and knowledge by within the area of new technology and through that to improve the quality of education. By using these methods we were able to help our students to become acquainted with an array of traditional celebrations, historical events, popular folklore characters, natural sites, inheritance and traditions in Europe in an attractive and informal way. By using this technologies we introduced a new model of education where knowledge is gained through personal experience. The students improved their technical skills on programming, as well as attention to detail, presentational skills, teamwork, and that boosted their self-esteem and creativity. All “E-Treasure - My Lovely Europe” partners have been united by the idea and the objectives of the project and the opportunities it offers for our students. They could improve foreign languages skills, gained knowledge about cultures and lifestyle of European countries and excelled skills in multimedia production through an innovative way of cross-cultural cooperation. They could work in multicultural groups at the same time having in mind that Europe is one civilization built by different nations, united under the same dome and that every nation adds their grains of the culture to the common Europe and built their fortune and treasures. Pupils of every partnering school could develop their skills in ICT. With frequent, regular correspondence, the pupils demonstrated improved communication skills: speaking, listening, reading, writing letters and emails. They also learnt how to make presentations using digital photography, digital videos, animations, games, presentations and mobile apps. What is more, they learnt how to plan pieces for ordinary film-making, use video cameras and edit their work for a particular audience. They created games by using different computer languages.On-going discussions with the staff let us to identify strengths and weaknesses in the project, as well as its organization, enabled us to consider and implement improvements. Local and national media were provided with information about the partnership and project success. Information and best practice were also shared with local education authorities, the ICT departments and local schools in our area through our schools' websites, virtual learning environment shared spaces: pupils' work galleries, teacher discussion pages and blogs. The manager of each team was required to know the participants well at the creation of the team, to assess their professional knowledge, professionalism and motivation. The results from the project are the following: logo, website, blog, informative dashboard, interactive multimedia DVD “E-Treasure - My Lovely Europe”.Benefits of the programme:- Expanding the practical skills and preparation of the students for competitive using of the informative and communicative technologies in solving tasks from different origin in the everyday life, professional practice and social sphere;- Assimilation of the material with understanding, allowing the students to explore by themselves unknown software also in working with new computer systems;- Gaining the basic knowledge about successful self-realization in the society as well as creating new ways of communication;

In the changing and global world teaching or learning a language, especially English as a communication language all around the world is always considered as the main issue in education system. Altough teaching and learning a language must be an enjoyable activity it mostly becomes a difficult and undesirable process due to the many reasons such as unwillingness or some educational hardnesses. If that situation lasts for a long time teaching or learning languages turns into a nightmare both for the learners and the teachers. In duration of our project we will try to identify the mistakes or obstacles in languae teaching and to create a new and innovative e-learning and teaching software covering a lot many e-learning modules. Even after the project we will continue to improve the sotware which will be the intellectual outcome of our project in collaboration with the current and the possible future partners. In preparation and implementation stages the obstacles the learners and the teachers face will be analysed in detail and prosperous solutions will be tried to find out and put into action. Language learning and teaching process will be tried to be more challenging so that both learners and teachers can have fun and pleasure to be able to acquire and utter a language. We are four partner institutions two of which are the public schools from Turkey as the applicant organization and Poland as the partner, one private language school from Ireland and one SME from UK which experienced and have competence in devepoing and improving ICT based teaching and learning materials. The Bridge Mills Galway Language School is a private language school. As a leading teacher training centre in Ireland the school trains teachers who are both native and non native speakers. The Bridge Mills Galway Language School in Ireland is accredited by ACELS(Irish Department of Education) MEI - Marketing English in Ireland as well as Quality English and EAQUALS. The schools teacher training certificates are accredited by ACELS - Irish Department of education but the school, as a Cambridge, TIE and TOEIC examinations centre also offers Cambridge TKT examinations and training for teachers. The partner school, Zespol Szkol nr3 Pulawy, in Poland has experienced in EU projects and eager to share its experiences as a public school in EU member country. The third partner is Oxford Vision Consultancy located in London, UK provides bespoke education, training and recruitment solutions to governments, companies and schools in several countries.

To the transnational meetings to be held in Turkey, Ireland, Poland and London three teachers, one director from schools and two persons from SME partner will attend. The meetings will be arranged to observe the current teaching process at schools, search the reasons of possible mistakes and to develop a new and innovative e-learning software which is the intellectual outcome of the project. Besides we will get two other outcomes; a project handbook including the results of polls, observation sheets, individual reports written by each participants during the meetings and some practical advices to the language teachers and a project film collecting the visual data of the project activities. In the long term period the project will have managed to create a really prosperous, innovative, and techonology based language teaching and learning athmosphere in the partner schools. The teachers and the learners as well as the headteachers in partner schools will be more motivated and qualified in language learning strategies and methods. By publishing every aspects of the project on our website and giving links to the partner organizations' website a multiplier effect of the project results will be managed. The participants, especially Turkish participants will add a Eupean Dimension to their professional career, all the participants will learn from their peers and colleagues and improve their qualifications in language teaching and ICT based teaching methods. As a whole the project will create a different and practical vision to language teaching and learning for all the relevant skateholders.

"WATER: A WALK AROUND THE EARTH'S RESOURCESWe live in a thirsty world. We take water for granted. We waste it. 71% of the Earth surface is covered by it and yet so many countries are unable to provide citizens with clean , safe drinking water. Water scarcity is quickly becoming the issue of our time because it is an abstract concept to many but a stark reality for others. It is necessary for students to understand and appreciate the importance of this colourless, odorless and tasteless element.All the countries participating in this Project are lucky to inhabit places with ready access to fresh water. We do not have problems of supply and we do not have to walk long kilometres to get it for our own consumption, needs, livestock, agriculture and industry. We are fortunate, but a short distance to water is, however, not always a positive factor. Our project arises from the need to raise awareness among the students towards the care and respect of our environment and the control of this resource, which we do not give the true value it deserves but it is a real treasure.The OBJECTIVES we intend to achieve, although varied, are significant:1.To carry out a research study to check the situation of our own hydraulic resources and those of our partner countries and find different solutions to improve the situation, once the problems in each area have been analysed. We will also take a walk through history to discover how the use or misuse of water has evolved up to the present moment2.To get our students to develop a responsible attitude towards global environmental problems so that in the future they become adults with a critical sense3.To promote teamwork, help among equals, the acceptance of different opinions and mutual respect4.To learn different methodologies, which will contribute to the students’ as well as the teachers motivation. With this project we will also encourage the continuity of the pupils in the educational system , avoiding early dropout and arousing their interest in the learning process5.To support and reinforce the teaching and learning of foreign languages through exchanges with students and teachers from other countries6.To contribute to the development of European consciousness through material and educational exchange and the mobility between the different countries7.To improve mathematical competence through the interpretation of data and charts8.To encourage the use of ICT to promote innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship activities 9.To learn how to organize their own mobilities, fostering entrepreneurship and life skills such as: digital, mathematics, social, autonomy and personal initiative10.To improve the image of our schools as an entity open to the European CommunityAll the PARTICIPANTS in our project share a common view of the purpose of education in a European context.The project is addressed to students aged 15 to 17 and will have a duration of two academic years (2020/2022). The partner countries are: Poland, Serbia, Finland, Turkey and Spain (Coordinator). Although the number of people participating in the mobilities is small, we plan to include all the students at School as well as teaching and non-teaching staff, families and Local authorities. The more people who are aware of the importance of the good use we give to water, the more benefits we will obtain.ACTIVITIES are grouped into 5 blocks:1. Water cycle 2. Water in agriculture and industry 3.Responsible consumption: Water in our homes and at school 4. Water storage transport for final consumption and treatment 5. Water recycling We mean to use an active and participative METHODOLOGY trying to keep into the educational system all those students at risk of early dropout, encouraging teamwork, respecting everyone's opinions by using the slogan:"" Debate, DO NOT argue!"" and using updated new technologies: Google Site, Google Forms, Edpuzzle, tricider, bubbl.us and padlet. Not only will we use a Project-Based-Learning approach, but also Problem-Based-Learning,Thinking-Based-Learning, Competence-Based Learning and Cooperative Learning so that students develop critical thinking and creativity, improve their problem-solvig skills, increase their motivation and develop thinking skillsOur RESULTS:1.Posters and murals2.Exhibition of the pictures presented in the photography contest3.A web page and a Twinspace that include all our activities4.A guide about the importance of the rational use of water5.Interactive Game to raise social awareness of the benefits of a good use of water and the respect for the environmentWe seek an IMPACT in our society. Our project is open-ended, it can be reused, modified, extended and disseminated by anyone interested in it. Local Institutions and other schools will be informed. We think the dissemination is fundamental if we want to create a better world. This awareness of protecting and caring our planet will be the most potential longer term BENEFIT"
