"As teachers, we observe that students are no more interested in poetry, drama and classics in recent years .They are getting further and further away from reading these literary works since they are thinking of poetry, drama and classics are not the part of modern life and modern education .They also don't find them benefical for their education.The result of the survey we submitted to the students emerged out the problems why students don't prefer reading these literary works; many students suffer from studying them in their lessons. They find this method quite boring. Most students spend most of their time playing computer and video games.Many others prefer reading the same kind of books such as science-fiction,fantastic stories and detective stories and most students focus on doing tests for their exams which carry them better university life and a future career.They are unaware of the taste of reading a poem, a play or a classic novel. Seeing all these problems, we started the project idea to create opportunities for students to understand the value of these literary works for their educational and social lives.We are six countries from different parts of Europe.; Czech Republic ,Portugal, Italy, Latvia, Spain and Turkey.We met for the same reason to open new windows for the students with the activities. Since each partner school has specific competence, we have great expectation that all partners will host this project with their contribution and literary background. We planned various activities such as Poetry Contest,Oratory,Theatre Play,Musical Play,the World Literature Quiz Show, Liteary Magazine and Poetry book.With all these activities we aim to enrich the students' knowledge of poetry,drama and classics and make them realise the importance of them in educational and social life.We want to revive these literary works on stage and make them part of students'lives breaking their prejudice and opening their hearts to these works.We planned more activities such as visiting charity organisations to perform plays, read poems and share classic novels with these lonely people. So that students will learn to emphaty with other people and they can be inspired to write about real life stories. Role play very important literary figures and national poets on stage with ""Who Am I"" activity ,they will also learn to emphaty with the writers and the characters living and feeling on stage.To write for the Essay Competition and to speak and defend the idea in Debating Activitiy,they will need to research from different sources,they will read different books and learn different opinions.So they will develop critical thinking and form their own idea being respectful to the other opinions. We also forsee ""Families Are Reading Classic Novels""activity to enhance students reading poetry, drama and classic realising the importance of these works in lifelong learning. To make these literary works part of modern education, we will appeal to the ICT integrating it into our activities. Students tend to be addict to computer and video games, they use technology pursuing no aim.With this project they will learn to use technology for knowledge engaging with the ICT activities; preparing facebook page, project website, weebly page ,slights, videos, digital diary of the activities.Furtermore they will live the enjoyable side of poetry activities using coding method. Reviving very important literary works of past , teaching us literature,history,cultural values of different nations, in multicultural area will create big opportunity to compare past and today to think about the future. They will manage this sharing knowledge, learning traditions, social values and today's life style through project activities. While creating these opportunities, one of our aim is to teach students to be more understanding of others,respectful to the values and accept them without prejudice. They will also have a chance to observe attitudes of European schools towards these literary works and how they benefit from them to increase the quality of their education and prepare the students for their future life. We believe that students will broaden their minds analyzing the different points of view through poetry,drama and classics activities with schools from different countries in different settings. This will be a unique opportunity for them not only to develop social, global competences but also they will start to think critically to form their own ideas. All these improvements will carry them to an intellectual area where they can be open to innovation and progress during throughout lives in a life-long learning perspective. When participating in LTT activities, the students will realise the importance of improving language skills, which they will need during their educational lives and for future work careers."

The project' Culture shadow-cultural learning cookbook' is the result of the need of development of our Upper Secondary Schools in the field of strenghtening and developing students key competences, change in educational methods towards exploring teaching and creative learning with the use of multimedia and ICT. The project main topic is Intercultural/intergenerational education and (lifelong)learning creativity and culture-(widely understood in its social,cultural, historical context)with factors influencing it, pedagogy and didactics.The project is meant to connect youth across cultures and generations.In it we want to have deeper insight into widely understood culture, first of our local neighbourhood, then country.

They will realise the positive impact of European programs on education and key competences development, opportunities for the youth,importance of intercultural learning and make themselves familiar with different cultures.The project will lead to making schools more attractive on educational market.In longer perspective we count on strengthening cultural bonds between our schools, longer cooperation in new projects, further exchange of tools and good practice, increase of school open educational resources and interdisciplinary cooperation, implementing job shadowing in curriculum of civic studies or advisory classes of each school.

Through this project, we intend to make the students absorb the idea that entrepreneurship is not the realm of business people, but everyone can be entrepreneurial, engage in learning more about what entrepreneurship is and learn how this competence can benefit several aspects of their life. Our partnership consists of 5 countries from Finland, Turkey, Italy, Portugal and Latvia. Our primary target group is the students who are indifferent to school, don’t attend to school regularly and tend to leave school early. Through the project activities, we will engage the students in school related activities and internalize the idea that they can be successful and have a good future by learning how they can put their ideas into action using entrepreneurship skills. Therefore, school and school related activities will make more sense to them.Our methodology is activity-based and solution-oriented. That’s why we have planned our activities relevant to our methodology. With the project activities, the students will be able to practice the entrepreneurship skills which they have learned only from books. Solution-oriented as they will be more hopeful, active and contribute to the workforce and economy in the future.We believe that real examples and success stories from real life will inspire them effectively. Thus, we will arrange meetings with entrepreneurs and the students will interview with them, visit the Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the local area of each partner school and learn about different opportunities which are supplied in the partner countries. Each partner will identify a role model entrepreneur who has succeeded his/her idea into action, which will definitely inspire the students. The teams in each partner school will select a different business enterprise area and the other partners will be a marketing area for their enterprise. Therefore, the students will learn different kinds of enterprise areas, market their ideas, develop their horizon, creativity and inspire each other. Apart from different enterprise areas, they will also create one common enterprise and each group will be a kind of a branch of this enterprise. The groups in their own country will do activities to develop their branch. At the end of the project, the most successful branch of the enterprise will be selected. This will foster the students to create more remarkable and original activities to enhance the success of their branch.Approximately 200 students and 30 teachers will participate in the project. The students will prepare visual presentations, create the project logo, poster, e-magazine, a real pop-up enterprise, join live events and Skype conferences, visit Chambers of Commerce and Industry, take part in surveys and design project dissemination tools and Erasmus corner in their schools. The teachers will be the mentors of the students, guide them to obtain best results, arrange meetings, carry out the eTwinning project, form their national and international project teams, conduct surveys and write evaluation reports. The school boards will supply convenient environment for the project teams and activities, support them, take part in the meetings, help with the dissemination activities and facilitate the bureaucratic work.Entrepreneurship clubs will be established as extra-curricular activity in the partner schools.These entrepreneurship clubs will organize an event in their schools on the dates which will be identified by the project partners.During the determined week,each partner will do activities to inspire the other students and also prepare presentations to share on the project dissemination tools, so the connection between the partners and also the sustainability of the project will be continued after the project is completed.In addition, these clubs will be in contact with local Youth organisations to create an entrepreneurial mindset along together,which will enable the local Youth organisations to benefit from the objectives of the project.All the activities will be shared via visual presentations in English by using web2 tools to be able to share the objectives of the project in the national and international dimension. There will be two dissemination teams which are national and international. The project dissemination coordinator will check the quality of the presentations and warn the partners about the deadlines. All the partners are experienced in Erasmus+ -projects, enthusiastic and open to collaboration. Each partner has accepted all their responsibilities. Thus, we are sure that we will obtain our desired consequences through our strong partnership.

"GOAL OF OUR PROJECTS; Each partner struggled to set a world where individuals are valued because people are more than their skin color ;people have equal rights and freedom, absence of gender discrimination, no exclusion for disabled, ability to live freely without fear from anyone. We thought that discrimination was main cause of prejudice and conflict between communities. we applied many activities at each mobility for anti-discrimination ""HUMANITY"" and ""EQUALITY"". We imagine a world that all people live together in harmony enjoying with equal opportunities. We believed that all humans are created equal, according to continue our struggling on discrimination. We learnt to all participants that no human being is born with hatred at each mobility. They have learnt hatred from some people at their environment, we struggled to change their thinkings about discrimination. Our goalis to give youths a message of peace. We believed that we should learn about each other's culturein order to get rid of prejudices. Each partner had many infos destruction of prejudices by at each mobility our partners from different countries and learn about their cultures, and their life perspectives.This project has established intercultural connections and was a great opportunity to build a long term friendship. Firstly, we taught young students to love and accept themselves. Secondly, we taught them how to know people and cultures without prejudice. We had many common objectives at project with five partners we want to spread to Europe. We realized many transnational meetings at each mobility and had separate tasks to being sustainable and expand the project. At each meeting we checked whether we went in accordance with the application form. we have carried out informative workshops on our work on discrimination that we need to do. We have decided that target groups are youths. Responsible teachers implemented surveys to the students for learning to deal and act against discrimination at each mobility. We made some changes to plan based on survey results. We learned from the results of surveys that we applied what activities were successful and which activities failed. and we have addressed these issues at our next international meetings. we have added new activities related to discrimination. we removed unnecessary activities. We have believed that today's youths will be tomorrow's adults. And they will educate their children. We tried to change youths` mentality and so they will replace their own children`s. This chain will continue to do so. When all of partners prepared mobility plans, we included youths to all activities that aimed to raise awareness and to increase their self-confidence.(such as implemented confidence test, did street interviews, presented theater performances, took a short educational film, implemented surveys drew caricatures, prepared Wikispaces). Bulgarian partner's responsibilities were planned the commemoration of on March 21. We prepared a cartoon magazine together. We transfered our voice to other people through power of drawings. Our goal was to draw a picture in their minds a happy world. We translated to Humor Magazine to each partner country’s native language of 'Turkish, English,Bulgaria'. Turkish partner added the Braille alphabet to homour magazine for the visually impaired. German partner's responsibilities were planned some activities to increase social responsibility of youths and to improve their ability to use technological tools. (e.g. took videos and photos) We took Educational short films to get rid of our prejudices with students. we prepared many shows with using sign language.

Our project was about harmful and toxic chemicals which we often used in our daily lives.The damage given to the environment, nature and human beings was also included in the project subject. This project were carried out as “etwinning project” at our school since the November of 2014.The project aroused interest among students and teachers.That was what we wanted.Our goal was to guide students to build up a sustainable and healthy future.To raise awareness about the environmental issues and let them to learn how they could change their eating habits were our main goals.We used many chemicals in our daily lives. Due to those chemicals the troubles such as cancer, obesity, asthma and allergy have been increasing and we also have been suffering from such problems of global warming, air pollution and climate change. We observed that most of our students would rather eat fast food than homemade food; they could not read the product labels properly while purchasing them, and prefer cheap and attractive foods instead of healthy products. The reason of our carrying the project onto an international platform derived from the fact that our subject was a common and universal issue. Through cooperative studies and information sharing, the policies and implementations of the partner countries about the chemicals were compared with each other.The purpose of our project was to raise the awareness rate of the students as our main target groups from 25% to 40% about the harmful chemicals and their results on the environment and health. To reach our aim, we, as one of the 6 schools from 5 different European partner countries, started our Project as an “Awareness Campaign”. We targeted the students between ages 15-18, their parents, our school teachers, surrounding schools and shopkeepers. We expected that around 3000 people would benefit from our project. Our stakeholders such as relevant ministries, universities, healthcare organizations and environmental clubs contributed to our project and they played a great role in the dissemination process. Sharing the same world and similar problems with our partners was the biggest cause of our study. The wish for a common solution, a healthy and quality life, the pursuit of similar policies on chemicals and sensitivity to the nature gathered us together.Through the project, we proposed : Identifying simple chemical products which were used in our daily lives and awareness of their harmful effects ,learning how to live without harmful chemicals , learning how to change eating habits,improving knowledge of science ,improving language skills,self confidence and entrepreneurship,strengthening intercultural cooperations and participation in society ,gaining environmental consciousness for students.For teachers : gaining new knowledge of the ideas and practices in the disciplines of science,an understanding of intructional strategies, observing partner countries' lifestyle,eating habits,their curriculum and how often this subject was mentioned in the lessons,the government's approach to this topic, enriching their teaching methods and learning new ways to motivate students, increasing in the consciousness level about harmful chemicals and their effects.In addition to these impacts , our other stakeholders gained from the results.We had opportunity to promote our school and our country in European Union countries.Also we contributed to the internationalization of our school.Present partnership opened the way for future European cooperations on other topics of common interest.Our project comprised short term exchanges of student groups; workshops, presentations, science festival, field trips, experiments, team work, and transnational project meetings; the discussion on the chemistry and biology curriculums, planning, evaluation and the summary of the project. As a result of these studies, the materials such as, leaflets, posters, short videos, blog, websites, magazine, e-book were prepared and they were provided for all target groups to raise the awareness. The success and results of our project were evaluated through the surveys, reports, statistical information. After the project, information sharing continued through the social Networks like facebook and whatsapp so the sustainability of the project would be supplied.We studied through different teaching methods and learning techniques.Those were active learning,effective teamworking,social networking, gamifications, problem based learning ,researching and analysing. Holistic approach, interdisciplinary and student- centered approaches were also mostly used in this project. Now our project team is ready to share its knowledge,develop the project further and gain new experiences.
