Project summary The project to prevent drop-out and drop-out among students aims to: Identify the underlying causes of school dropout; Develop extracurricular curricula and educational programs designed to increase school attendance and facilitate the integration of school leavers; Identify a set of strategies to prevent and reduce absenteeism and dropout. Education is, for any society, a key area for its sustainable and competitive development. Investing in human capital, in a fair and equitable education system, is essential to the development of a knowledge-based society. In this perspective, the priority given to the initial and continuous training of the human resource is essential for the completion of a form of education and for the integration of graduates into the labor market, both in the country and in the country. In this context, the phenomenon of dropping out of school which tends to develop in certain communities and human communities constitutes a major risk for the development of society as a whole. This project is launched because it has been found that school dropout tends to become a phenomenon of great magnitude, with negative connotations on the professional development of young people and with major implications for their subsequent insertion into the labor market. Project Reasons Increased frequency and retention in a quality education system for students at risk of dropping out of school by involving them in catch-up activities and attractive advice.

"The phenomenon of violence, discrimination and harassment in school is a topic that has concerned society, due to the upward curve of recent years and therefore it is necessary to promote awareness of this accentuated phenomenon in school, where children are raised. The moral values promoted by society, through school and family are based together with the acquisition of knowledge, skills and training skills, contributing to the formation of the profile of a young person capable of social integration and adaptation to new challenges. Moreover, this problem is not only Romania's, but is found in other forms and intensity in most European countries.The project aims to raise awareness of the negative effects of the phenomenon of violence in schools and reduce it by educating school psychologists about this phenomenon. The intellectual results that have been achieved in the project ensure techniques and methods of lifelong learning for both the direct target group and other indirect beneficiaries.The following results were achieved:IO1. Scientific research, a comparative study and an analysis of protocols on violence, discrimination and harassment in partner countriesAn analysis of recent scientific research on the general causes of violence has been made; about the symptoms of violence; methods of preventing and reducing violence. A structured questionnaire was developed to investigate the needs of anger and violence; The structured questionnaire was applied to a number of 1750 students. A comparison was made of the results obtained by each partner, then a summary of the research was made.IO2 The Handbook ""Equilibrium by non-violence"" contains a total of 7 chapters, each chapter is written taking into account the results of the research and the needs identified. The manual is available in four language versions (English, Romanian, Italian, Greek).IO3 Course ""Equilibrium by non-violence"" This result contains a written support in the power point program, made in an interactive way, which can be taken by school psychologists. The design of the course support is friendly and easy to assimilateIO4 An online platform. The platform aims to raise awareness of the phenomenon of violence and the importance of reducing this phenomenon, which is precisely the general objective of this project.Through the existence of an online information point, the information is easy to read and distributed to actors involved in the fight against violence (organizations, school psychologists, psychologists employed in general, local and county welfare and child protection, teachers, students, parents) .IO5 The ChatBoot application aims to add an element of innovation to the interaction of actors involved in the fight against violence (organizations, school psychologists, teachers, parents, etc.) with the source of information provided by the project. This chatbot is a complex program that can hold a conversation with a person. The chatbot is present on Facebook.Jiffy is a virtual chatbot developed as a support tool for children and adolescents who face hostile behaviors, exclusion or verbal and physical violence.The general objective of the project was to raise awareness of the negative effects of the phenomenon of school violence and to reduce it. We consider that this objective was achieved by obtaining the following results.- New skills acquired by school psychologists for long-term reduction of violent behaviors in students through the textbook and curriculum developed in this project.- Awareness at the level of civil society of the negative effects of the phenomenon of violence in schools for parents, teachers, specialists from school inspectorates, NGOs, local authorities.- Ensuring techniques and methods of continuous learning both for the target group and for other indirect beneficiaries, leading to the reduction of the phenomenon of violence in schools.- Developing the professional skills of school psychologists in relation to the phenomenon of violence.- Facilitate knowledge of violent situations suffered by shy, introverted students or those who are afraid to talk face to face about what is happening to them in an innovative way through ChatBoot."

Five secondary vocational schools from 5 EU countries - Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania and Romania - cooperated in the project. The partnership was created based on previous contacts that have joined partners from new organizations.The need to participate in the common project was supported by a weak perception of the culture and traditions in regions and partner countries, communication problems of young people as well as imbalance and early termination of education which have a negative impact on the social relations. The target group of the project were teachers and students of secondary schools, the wider regional community involved in the presentation of national culture as well as representatives of regional self-government, cultural and social institutions.The main objectives of the project, which we achieved by implementing the project activities were:• to support the understanding among young people about the diversity of European cultures and languages• to enrich the students' knowledge of the culture in partner countries• to motivate students to expand their knowledge through their own creative work• to encourage and create interest in other cultures of Europe and to identify with them• to improve communication competencies of the participants, especially in foreign languages• to improve skills in ICT• to connect the formal and informal education in partner schools with an emphasis on comprehensive development of student´s personalityDuring the project we organized two transnational project meetings and 5 short-term exchange of students of partner schools. During these meetings, but also in the education process in schools, students prepared the final outputs of the project:• cookbook of national cuisines• presentation about national folk culture• presentation about national folk traditions• brochure about the system of protection of cultures and traditions of each country.• competition about the culture and traditions of the partner countries• online quizzes using ICT• presentation about family habits• opinion survey on the status of cultural heritage• ethno - calendarImplementation of the project created a strong partnership that we will use for further international cooperation in the future. All partner schools use and will the project results within their educational process: presentations, survey and all information and materials obtained during implementation of the project on within subjects as geography, history, tourism, social sciences, tourism, cultural preparation. Schools can use project´s results for other projects and activities in further or lifelong learning.

The content of our project is one of the EU targets. According to the 2016-2019 Strategic Participation for Gender Equality report, the promotion of gender equality is a fundamental activity for the EU: equality between women and men is a fundamental EU value and a driving force for the EU goal and economic growth.Even in the most developed European countries, prejudices against women continue. This project was created in 2018 to identify these prejudices, to recognize women who make a difference and to raise awareness in the eTwinning platform. Our Twinning project was awarded with national and European quality labels. We have decided to turn our project into an Erasmus + project .The schools in Germany, Belgium and Lithuania joined the schools in Romania and Turkey which are in eTwinning projects. The results of the survey conducted by U.S News & World Report with more than 9,000 women shows that Germany and Belgium are among the countries where women can live most comfortably. Lithuania ranks first in the list of women engaged in science.The groups in mobility activities will be consist of students and teachers. Each group plans to participate in activities with 5 students and 2 teachers. Since the topic of our project is about women, we are considering positive discrimination for our girl students and we think it is appropriate at least 3 girls from each country to participate in every mobility. In each mobility, among these students, at least one student must be the participant who has fewer opportunities. These may be economic difficulties, students with integration problems due to internal or external migration, or participants who have a permanent disability with no problem in traveling. Due to the nature of our schools, our age group is between15-17. In particular, the students who are actively participating in our eTwinning project will be selected.The Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategies is the guidelines of the objectives we wish to achieve in this project. The first strategic aim is to fight against sex stereotypes and sexism.Gender stereotypes limit the development of girls 'and boys', males 'and females' natural abilities and capacity, as well as their educational and professional experiences and opportunities in their lives in general. They can isolate women from working life or “women's jobs” are offered as a separate category. Based on the realities in the countries of our 5 schools, we have planned activities to prevent these prejudices.For example, female participation in the labour force in Turkey is about 35%. Many women's duties do not go beyond being mothers or spouses. For this reason we have planned activities in Turkey on women and social entrepreneurship. It is our purpose to examine the stories from housewives to business life and to feed the social entrepreneur side of our students.Our school in Romania is close to the oil reserves and in this area, women work in many areas, which are generally considered as men's jobs. We will visit them and listen to the difficulties they experience.Belgium and Germany are the in the list of top 10 countries where women can live most comfortably in Europe. For this reason, we will study on women's rights in our schools in these countries. Our Belgian school is preparing studies on wartime women and on women, who lead peace,We will learn about the challenges women face in a well-developed country like Germany. We will share the result of our research with articles and drawings on school notice boards.Our study will be related to science and women In Lithuania, where the number of women who work in science are more than men. We will experience the struggle of science women in relation to gender discrimination. In every mobility, we will try to find answer the question, ‘Is there equality?’. With these studies, we want to show our girls entrepreneurship, how to struggle for their rights, how to avoid the wars caused by men, how to win the spirit of stereotyped ideas destruction, and to show male students that equality can only exist with a common struggle.Of course, with the acceptance of our Erasmus + project, we plan to establish a new eTwinning Project called “Productive women”. The topics in our Erasmus+ project will be studied first on the eTwinning platform. Mobility is short, but eTwinning offers us a longer and more diverse field of study.There is also a webinar section of this platform for the execution and dissemination of our project. In the near term of our project conclusion, each school will prepare a webinar in its own language for other schools in their country. Furthermore two webinars in English will be prepared to spread our project all around the world.For our project to influence as many areas as possible, local activities are planned such as informing national press, web page designing, eJournal creating, School Education Gateway and preparation of article to publish in related fields.
