The nowadays pace of quick change asks individuals to master a series of skills and competences that could be useful over a large range of fields. The question of the century is how will schools today prepare the students for their future. The project brings together five schools from Romania, Turkey, Italy, Portugal and Poland and addresses students aged between 10-15. All partners contributed to creating this application, they decided upon the partnership`s objectives, designed its activities and the methodology. Teams from all 5 countries communicated through WhatsApp and e-mail during the last 8 months and created the project’s latest version. We made comparisons of our schools` needs, we shared the institutions` development plans and we discovered that in every partner`s school there is a decreasing phenomenon of students’ interest in learning and the present curricula of school has to be improved/refreshed. Each partner organized focus group debates with students for getting a better knowledge about students` needs. The common conclusion resulted is that it is highly important that we develop and improve students’ basic skills. The main aim of the project is to develop students` basic skills and some key competences - over 400 students belonging to 5 European schools and countries will be influenced during the 2 year period of implementation.OBJECTIVES:-to boost social responsiveness, entrepreneurship skills, cultural awareness and sense of initiative of students belonging to 5 EU counties and schools - by Aug. 2021-to stimulate students' social skills as well as emotional intelligence -to promote learning from one another and promote communication-to enrich students’ international abilities and boost self-expressionThe project brings together five schools from Romania, Turkey, Italy, Portugal and Poland and addresses students aged between 10-15.We plan to have 1 short-term joint staff training event and other 4 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils. Each exchange has a different topic (Portugal- IN/OUTdoor activities. Sports; Poland - Students on stage. Theatre, Turkey - Talent Show. Music; Italy - Photo stories;) chosen specifically for approaching the main topic from different angles with the purpose of ensuring the meeting of the objectives. Our aim is to positively touch approximately 700 students and teachers, minimum 200 parents, and 80% of the of each school`s staff. Other indirect participants: stakeholders, relevant representatives of local/regional educational institutions, representatives of NGOs, of City halls, including the mayor, the school inspectorates and local/regional mass media will be also affected.TANGIBLE RESULTS:-project webpage and project`s logo, different audio-visual presentations and materials: “My school/city/country”, Is there fun in your school?”, joint exhibition: My learning environmnet/school is Fun, creating fun-puzzles, “Life as a student” comics, creation of five scrapbook project-diaries, an e-photography album, 5 numbers of e-school magazines, an event like an international concert, five works of photo-stories, five photo-travel guides, 5 theatre plays, some bookmarks and some toolkits: sport activities practiced outdoor and indoor.The common activities will make our students come together to do sports, to play outdoor as well as indoor activities, to sing together, to explore the surroundings for taking some photographs, to be actively involved as actors in the script plays created by them, to contribute to the release of project products. This role play activities will improve their social inclusion, will developing their skills of communication, will help them acquire a sense of cohesion as well as openness towards `the new`, `the different`. Students` social inclusion is going to also be developed by bringing together participants from five diverse EU regions -some of them with diverse socio-cultural contexts, by the quantitative amount of the direct and the indirect participants, by developing and organizing Fun Learning Centers in each partner school, which will enable a greater number of students to taste from and be positively influenced by all the benefits of the partnership and by all the diverse range of activities. Our overall experience in the field of education reveals that Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (PASL) causes students to be more engaged in their own learning process, it develops their intrinsic motivation for developing as good and efficient individuals. Putting in application PALS at international levels will produce positive changes in our Ss.The international experience will expand their horizon, develop their skills, boost their motivation and desire to improve themselves as professionals and as individuals. To have motivated teachers and students means ensuring the school's development as well as increasing the quality of education.
