Project Summary

The Partnership consists of six schools from different European countries: Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, France, Greece, and Turkey. All of the partner schools had previous experience in European projects and we share common goals. We are highly motivated to work collaboratively in the KA2 Partnerships for schools of the Erasmus plus program.

Our concern arises as European society being challenged by multiple crisis: economic instability, Brexit, refugee crisis, extremist or populist groups with xenophobic and authoritarian viewpoints, anti-EU movements, All these lead to negative influences such as discrimination, racism, bullying, violence, gender inequality, fake media.

Our partnership project ” Coeducation: Europe a community of values” and its actions will ensure to contribute to raise public awareness. It will provide different tools to students, school staff, families and community for them to learn about the importance of cultural European heritage promoting citizenship with important values such as freedom, equality of gender. ,tolerance and non-discrimination by means of education. We will encourage them to fight against these negative influences and give them an adequate education in values. It is only in this way that they will be able to make their own decisions, be reflexive critically and interpret the information they receive from the outside. The appropriate principles and values will guide them, being able to live in society with a firm and mature personality to be a peaceful, tolerant, respectful person, who works for inclusion, environment, sane health and sexuality behaviours , violence prevention, assertive communication.
In addition Pupils and staff will compare and contrast how each of the partner countries manages their values schemes , enriched by knowing the social realities of each partner country (culture, habits, climate etc) , pupils and teachers opportunities to go forward beyond our borders both physically and mentally, support foreign language learning to promote a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning, improving knowledge of new technologies and Eu platforms as eTwinning, to enhance the visibility of Erasmus+ Projects and the impact in education.

We are aware the project wake will impregnate the whole of each one of the 6 schools, more than 4570 pupils, their families, teachers and local communities are a really big target to work with, but we will choose 10-14 years old pupils to disseminate the project aim into the rest.

We will reach our objectives through 2 years process project with activities and mobilities divided into 2 sections, using cross curricular approaches, applying different tools as: Lessons, conceptual maps, rubrics, videos, interviews, exhibitions, debates, evaluation test, publicity, meetings, conferences and different methodologies as: way group and pair work, cooperative learning, peer learning, role playing, E-learning, touring, informal learning, inclusive learning, ICT tools UE platforms.

To train students, staff, families, and community about eTwinning, democracy, Eu citizenship, social & educational values of EU cultural heritage, radicalism, tolerance and non-discrimination, we will work the following activities in the 1St Section : Project logo, Erasmus council, European interactive cultural values mural , Video about open borders and they will also create vokis for racism fighting

To train students, staff and families about critical thinking, bullying, tolerance, non discrimination, equality of gender, equal opportunities, Inclusion, we will work the following activities in the 2nd Section: Wonder Cinema forum to fight bullying, Creation of a Poster to fight bullying, Creation of Videos with Interviews of partners school’s women, Prepare conferences about refugees topic, Work Sexist vocabulary and alternatives, Students will create a Song talking about inclusion and cohesion and a roundtable discussion with journalists to treat social & fake media and finally two Erasmus Day will be celebrated together with families and local communities.

We are aware that the keys to the success of our project are:

-Quality activities, methodology, clear objectives, public target, quality results
-Relevant evaluations will be held to assess activities, project and their impact and dissemination.,Each activity, mobility and products will be evaluated on assessing positive aspects, improvable aspects and improvement proposals.
-Correct dissemination of the project, our results and the generated documents and products will be uploaded and available to share on platform as eTwinning , SEG , EU result platform, and on the website project, We will take profit of our regular staff meetings to present and inform about the project. We will also use the display boards at our schools

We hope that students, staff, families and community will not only learn about these concepts but also propose some changes to solve these problems.
