Project Summary

CONTEXT
This project idea has been developed by teachers of 5 secondary school and achieved its last form after discussing 7 months time. The idea arose from the basic necessities of safe life everywhere we are. Every year unexpected events/disasters are happen and many worrying consequences occur. As teachers we realised we have some lack of awareness of this subject and we want to focus on EMERGENCY at our schools, increase consciousness between school society, develop better organisation for unexpected events, get everyone ready for all kind of events / disasters, prepare plans, create teams, organise durable training lessons and provide safe and better environment for our society.
OBJECTIVES
-increase awareness on emergency and first aid actions between our school societies.
-give education and increase level into international standards
-teach risk analysis and taking precaution
-create rescue teams from students and provide training about rescue, first aid, first aid supplies
-develop emergency action plan for our schools, homes and transportation vehicles
-create a web page and advertise our outputs to involve more people
-improve skills and competences acquisition by pupils
We will have 5 LTTA and make our students aware of European cultures and standards
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS
The project activities will involve teachers, students, parents and school staff. Teachers will be responsible for coordinating the activities and communication with partners. Each partner will have a team of key persons who will be actively involved in project management – the coordinator and other members who will be accountable for project dissemination, monitoring, assessment and financial issues.
– students – 500 students aged 12/17;
– teachers – about 100 teachers from the partner schools and 100 teachers from other schools
– parents (around 500)
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES / METHODOLOGY
ITALY (coordinator school) is the runner of the communication and they will follow the timeline. All partners will complete their tasks as planned and report the coordinator school by written report. Google drive will be used actively for sharing products/documents fast.
PORTUGAL is responsible of e-twinning portal for developing the idea of the project to provide more people, more school to use the idea, to contribute the project.

With the start of the project, every school will state a place full of visual materials which take attention to emergency topics and first aid responsibilities. Posters, brochures, seminars, Erasmus boards, digital monitor videos, presentations, project club creation, meetings, teams and their works in schools, in local societies, in public transportation vehicles, questionnaires will take everyone attention into the subject and there will be an atmosphere which is very motivate. The action will start to get its achievements at this very early start.
During two years there will be 5 exchanges and every exchanges will have three sub stage as preparation, application and dissemination. So this on start motivation will continue till the end of the project.
Dividing the topic into subtopics will separate the achievements in a disciplinary educative way so we will provide a well organised achievements of the topic well. Every aspect of the emergency will be taken in hand as education, practical studies, team creation and international team works.
RESULTS AND IMPACT
First of all, the teachers who instruct students in exchanges will become a source in the project. They observe and analyse the practices, participate in emergency education, practical exercises for first aid, join in rescue teams that each host school has in terms of classroom organization, teaching methods, use of technology, organization of the staff and aspects related to extracurricular projects
Also, they will observe the relationship of the school staff with students’ parents. They will then present the information to their colleagues on return. Therefore, teachers will broaden their expertise and will exchange practices, applying the best ones and the suitable ones in their schools. As a result, the school will profit in the long run.
Also, the school will open students’ minds and hearts to the needs of the local community, to the emergency situation and social environment, briefly human life, therefore getting involved in local initiatives. In this way, the schools will become an important institution for community cohesion
