"Students aged between 12 and 16 from six schools situated in France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Turkey, have carried out a three-year project turned towards the future of Europe and entitled F.A.C.E. (Future, Ambitions and Challenges for Europe). We have identified various challenges that our students, as European citizens, must face for a better future and which cover issues relevant to each partner country, and more specifically to the areas where our schools are located. We have divided these challenges into three topics, one studied each year, with an end-of-year European multiplier event aiming at presenting the productions made to the public, local authorities and media, and thus at increasing the impact of the project.Year 1 : Environmental and technological challengesObjective: raise awareness of environmental issues and the need to use renewable energies as well as ecological materials in the building of houses.Students have carried out research on environmental issues specific to their areas in order to create posters and sensitize people over these issues. The knowledge acquired, the visits and encounters made with companies / organisations involved in the protection of the environment have enabled students to come up with their own innovations in the building of ecological house models, which in turn have led to the making of a common model gathering the best concepts. The posters and European model were presented at the end of the year on the occasion of a European Environmental Exhibition and Conference in Norway, open to the public.Year 2 : Economic and Health ChallengesObjectives :- Economy : reinforce partnerships between schools and companies with a view to promoting youth employment by local companies and the opening-up of SMEs to European trade.- Health : sensitize students from an early age over the necessity to adopt a healthy lifestyle based on a healthy diet and the practice of sport.Students have met entrepreneurs and visited local companies working in the main sector of activity of their area so as to gather the necessary information for the creation of a European multilingual marketing brochure entitled ""Made Here"". A ""Made Here"" website presenting local companies and promoting their products and know-how was also created.On the health topic, videos and apps aiming at sensitizing people over the necessity to adopt a healthy lifestyle were created.All theses productions were presented at the end of the year on the occasion of a European Economic and Health Fair in France, open to the public.Year 3 : Cultural and Identity ChallengesObjectives : promote our European identity based on common values while emphasizing local specificities as well as similarities between our cultures, with a view to fighting prejudice and ensuring a serene future for European relations.The work of students involved different artistic aspects, all enabling a reflection on local / European identity and on FACE :- creation of a digital art book on local art and creation by students of their own ""real"" art book- writing of a European song on the topic of European identity- creation of a European play (writing, staging, performance)The play was performed before an audience at the end of the year on the occasion of a European Performance in Sweden, with presentation of the art book and of the FACE song.The project has enabled to reach our objectives in relation to the development of students' core competences (foreign languages, ICT, science, writing skills) and skills essential for lifelong learning and the insertion into the professional world: entrepreneurship, initiative, teamwork, autonomy, creativity, problem-solving, etc.The impact of the project has been significant on different levels/scales, especially as regards :- students : development of competences, opening-up to Europe and awareness of the issues studied- teachers : skill enhancement through the pooling of competences and practices- schools : development of teamwork, opening-up to international cooperation and reinforcement of partnerships with the local socio-economic world- local community : the awareness actions (especially towards other schools) and events organised in relation to the project, and especially the European events organised in rural areas, have had a significant impact on local life.- national / European scale : the sharing of our experience through our project website, Facebook page, E+PRP platform has already benefited and will benefit other organisations willing to launch into this kind of project."

In the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, electric vehicles (EV) are proposed as a realistic solution to combat poor air quality and climate change, and to overcome fuel shortages and emission induced pollution. The development of the lithium ion battery technology in the 1990s has updated the EV programs and the electro-mobility in general. The developing and implementation of alternative source of energy, new materials, designing and 3D fabrication, digital technology and robotic is growing rapidly and consequently the demand of creativity, innovation and problem-solving thinking. To face with these challenges, society and educational providers are urged to outline new strategies that allows incorporating new different economical model that allows solving the energy problem respecting the resources of the planet and focused not in the rise itself but on the maximizing the human well-being, among others. In addition, training providers and teachers are needed to introduce widespread methods, examples and exercises that ensure working on a good integration and combination level of theoretical education with practical experience both in traditional and non-traditional learning paths.In order to tackle with these challenges and to provide VET students with significant experience, we propose the conversion of a combustion engine vehicle into an electric vehicle. We will focus on the implementation of the electric car technology at the level of the classroom and training places. By carrying out this project, we want to offer to the stakeholders an educative path that stimulate creativity, innovation, interest, proactive learners, interest, dynamism and create opportunities for critical thinking, flexibility, negotiation, judgement and decision-making, emotional intelligence, coordinating with others, people management, creativity, critical thinking, and complex problem solving.The project involve six VET schools from Spain, Finland, France, Turkey and Romania. All partners have a long tradition and experience concerning their technical knowledge and project-based learning and learning by doing. The project consist of seven different stages, namely, a) collecting information and processing information on EV and EV conversion, b) performing mechanical work on a combustion engine car, c) managing the power/control electronics and EV batteries, d) assembling the EV, e) testing the electric vehicle, f) testing and improving the EV, and g) compiling and closing. These stages will be performed at every partner school by two expertise teams, the electromechanics and the power/control electronics. These teams involve students, teachers and silent partner. Each partner teamwork will be linked with its peer at international level; sharing, comparing and contrasting information and experiences. This project will provide the possibility to compare the education system, the curriculum forms, and good education practices in-situ. It will also attempt to move from the local to international level via the contrast and harmonization of those contents considered in the project, as the electric car technologies, power/control electronics, electric vehicle conversion procedure, among others. The proposal suggests the realization of six transnational project meetings for planning the project stages, monitoring the progress of the planned tasks, evaluating the level of compliance, and rectifying and adjusting the working plan accordingly in order to achieve the objective proposed. It also proposes three different learning, teaching, training activities. The LTTA consist of a serie of activities as lectures, workshops, demonstration, flash talk, poster, panel or round table. These activities aim to provide to the stakeholders (students, teachers, and silent partner members) significant experiences in an international and multicultural scenario meanwhile they are learning, training and sharing. They also offer the possibility to adquiere new professional competences, to train the language, the international and soft skills, to exchange experiences and good practices, to meet experts and to learn from successful entrepreneurs, and to acquire multicultural awareness.

(See summary in FRENCH file A5)This project is aimed at pupils aged between 16 and 18 from the 4 partner high schools: Germany, Czech Republic, Spain and France. The pupils will be from secondary and vocational education.Our 2-year project will consist in creating a European company selling musical instruments to be assembled by the customer with the help of assembly instructions and videos to be bought online with an online shop. The main objective of this project will be to make pupils discover how to create and manage a European company. Pupils will have to create the business administratively, create a currency that will allow real purchases to be made but with a currency that will have no market value and therefore no profit. They will have to create musical instruments using everyday or recycled materials. They will write editing instructions and record videos and music. They will sell their products online, conduct a sales and process analysis at the end of the project to verify the reliability of the company.The company will operate in this way, and intermediate learning objectives will be derived from it:IDENTITY OF THE COMPANY - Company name: Students will determine the name of the company.- Address: The company's head office will move with the mobility. This is how a Management Board will be created. It will be composed of 2 students and 1 teacher in each team. This board will meet during the mobilities to take all the decisions concerning the company. For this reason, we need a European grant to enable the teams to meet, to pool their work and to take important decisions together, such as: name of the company, choice of logo, choice of products to be sold, method of payment, supply of products...- The workshops for the production of the products will be installed in the 4 high schools.COMPANY VALUES- The values needed to create a company will be in line with those of our priorities identified in this project:○ To develop innovative practices and encourage the creativity of pupils by creating the products that will be sold (instruments, instructions, sounds, music, videos...).○ Fostering the practice of technical English in business and commercial settings○ Develop students' entrepreneurial spirit and encourage international cooperation.○ To raise the level of young people in the fields of mathematics, science, ICT, thanks to the processes and platform to be set up to ensure the management of a company.○ Promote the discussion of ideas and define decision protocols.○ Evaluate its processes and products.ORGANISATION- The company will be managed by a Board of Directors as indicated above and 6 departments each led by a single team in parallel to the Board of Directors:○ Communication and Marketing: Germany○ Administration and finance: Spain○ Digital service: Czech Republic○ Sustainable product manufacturing and distribution management: France○ Publications and design: Spain○ Quality department: all teams- Each team will present its work and progress to the Management Board during the mobilities. The latter will define the company's priorities and validate the choices of the different departments. The financing by the European Mobility Agency will allow all the services to come together and work together for the good running of the company and therefore of the project.The expected results of this project will be the real creation of an accessible company with the real sale of products. PLANNING OF THE MEETINGS OF THE COMPANY MOBILITES- This schedule will correspond to the mobilities for which we wish to obtain a European grant:○ C1-Teacher's meeting to define the exact dates of the mobilities, validate the objectives of each mobility and define the work to be done between each mobility. Create a new project via E Twinning on the Twinspace platform.○ C2-Mobility in Spain: the pupils will take all the decisions to create the company: name, role of each service, logo, organisation chart, board of directors.○ C3-Mobility in Germany: pupils will validate the payment process with the creation of the currency, the web page of the website. Each department will present the progress of its work. A process for the creation of musical instruments to be created oneself will be presented.○ C4-Mobility in France: Students will present their instruments, manuals and videos. They will test the online shop and define the adjustments.○ Between C4 and C5: This will be the period when the online shop will be open for the sale of the products.○ C5-Mobility in the Czech Republic: Students will evaluate the performance of the company as a whole (sales, process, problem, attractiveness of the company, etc.).○ C6- Teachers' meeting to evaluate the whole project and write the final report.

"Our Erasmus+ project ""The Earth, seen through our magic eyes"" is an exchange of good practices for a period of two years and aims to educate students on environmental protection. 6 primary schools (pupils from 3 to 12 years old) and five countries (Romania, metropolitan and overseas France, Bulgaria, Turkey and Spain) work together so that our pupils become ""European eco-citizens"".We hope, through our actions, to contribute to the assurance of a healthy environment, to alert those who do not know that ""man is part of nature"" and that ""By destroying nature, we destroy humanity! ""We hope that students will have the opportunity to understand the diversity and complexity of their environment, that they will be able to see the fragile natural balance and be aware of the danger of it disturbance, that they will feel the need to appropriate behavior towards the environment. Direct contact with other European schools and the acquisition of new pedagogies through the exchange of experiences will improve the effectiveness of the educational approach. The project will start with improving the quality of education in order to prepare students to play an active role in public life. All schools in the project (students and teachers) will have the opportunity to discover other realities, acquire new knowledge and skills, which will give them more independence and self-confidence, motivating them to learn French and English. This teamwork will at the same time open up opportunities for learning the partner's national language.Through this project, we teachers want to show children the foundations of a thought and attitude focused on promoting a life-friendly environment in order to develop their spirit of responsibility to the ecosystem.The participation of all educational factors (schools, families, communities, media, etc.) in achieving these intentions, the child better understands the effects of inappropriate behavior on the environment. The project also aims to develop knowledge and awareness of protecting and improving the environment. This project offers teachers the possibility of constructive exchanges on our activities and our ideas for preserving nature. The environment provides us with the conditions necessary for life, but it is up to us to know if we want to use these essentials effectively or if we to get around this aspect of our lives. The pollution of the planet is getting worse day by day and it seems that few people have an interest in this harmful process. The protection of the planet is a global problem, and that is why every man must assume part of this responsibility. Health cannot be maintained by breathing polluted air, consuming food and water contaminated with pesticides or other chemicals. Through this project, we hope to succeed in changing the vision and mission of our students, teachers and local communities, to put the acquired experience into practice. One of the main objectives of the project is to encourage children to become active factors in protecting the environment, changing their lifestyle and that of the people around them. To achieve the main objective, this project will involve around 350 pupils aged 3 to 12, 25 nursery and elementary school teachers, representatives of local communities, parents. Because life cannot be separated from the environment, education must also be done in protecting the environment.Final products: blog, brochure, portfolios, CD, DVD, photo albums, ecological calendars, maps of each country, herbariums, mini botanical garden, exhibitions with students' creativity."

"Througout the project entitled ""The environment is our future, the environment is Europe's future"" four Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French, German and Luxembourgish students worked on the following topics:- sustainable food- energy and ecology- ecological lifestyle- circular economy- nature and science- sustainable energy and automotiveThey were between 15 and 17 years old and were chosen by their teachers based on their motivation, interest and maturity. In the course of the activities they familiarized themselves with environmental problems and found ways to reduce their own environmental footprint.A wide variety of topics related to sustainability were discussed. Each country put its own emphasis. This gave the students more insight into the developments in the field of sustainability from various international perspectives. They were given the opportunity to experience the possibilities the different countries see in achieving a sustainable economy and society, the way they deal with the environment, and what measures are taken to protect the environment. In particular the international aspect led to a broader view of sustainability. Each topic was approached from different disciplines. Thus, several disciplines were involved in each project (for instance biology, economics, engineering, physics, chemistry, art). Specialists from such disciplines were invited to inspire the students and to provide more information. Visits to companies and the deployment of specialists from the various disciplines offered more expertise and a broader view at the problem. Through debating, creative activities, experiments, workshops etc. students reached the most important aim of our project: to raise people's awareness of ecological issues. Moreover they improved their language skills and teamwork abilities."
