Project Summary

CONTEXT
We started this project for 2 fundamental reasons: on one hand the thought of leading our learners feel more included and
curious about their learning progress, hence enhancing their school results and, on the other hand, the ambition to build up a
strong dialogue among people coming from different European countries.
We mainly have two aims:
1) stimulate the students to utilize computers and different technological devices on the purpose of boosting their inclusion
in learning, and subsequently their school outcomes;
2) make pupils realize “what it means to be European”, by putting them through a miscellaneousness of thoughts, values,
standards, etc. as a way of becoming familiar with a “united diversity”.
Schools participating in the project: BG, IT, MK, LT, TR.

OBJECTIVES
The basic targets of this project are:
1) increase students' inspiration and offer assistance them to receive better results at school (result are expected to be
minimum 40% better for the students part taking in the project by the end of the year). This could avoid early school drop-
out and can make a better environment that Ss can thrive.
2) promote students' social skills like ICT using, cooperation, choice making, problem-solving, adaptability (anticipated:
change in 40% of the taking an interest students); these qualifications are exceptionally much required to meet the
prerequisites of firms and managers.
3) increment students' interest on other countries and cultures and offer assistance them to adopt diversity more effectively (
minimum 60% of the part taking students). It creates a better point of view that can induce superior understanding of the
challenges of the present era.
4) improve communication abilities in English (100% of the partaking students); it is a precious ability, exceptionally much
required both for job positions and academic purposes.

5) make cohesion with diffirent European nations. This may offer assistance to construct a genuine feeling of being European.

NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS
The members included in the project are going to be 15-18 years old Ss from every partner organization, that is to say a big
target crowd of about 250 people for each school.
Some of those students (around 100 totally from all the participating schools) will take part in at minimum one LTTA and will
join all the phases of project; for the rest Ss will be included within the project exercises that performed in their countries. Ss
are coming from different places (urban, rural), religions and ethnicities, so that working together, they all can learn
something from each other. Later on 36 teachers will include the students within the project, especially English, ICT and
Maths.

METHODOLOGY
The project comprises following areas:
A1. Project administration: Every partner is assumed to obey the admitted timeline that sums up the activities and settle their
duration and deadline.
A2. A group of teachers (Languages, Maths, Computer Science, Literacy) and management staff, with the contact person of
each school, will perform and observe the activities, beginning with the determination of Ss, later arrenging preliminary
workshop sessions and planning for LTTA.
A3. Since ICT is the basic tool of project, ICT meetings will be held, both for students and for teachers before, during and after
LTTA. In case a few partner does not have adequate information, ICT ”help” sessions can be done through webcam
internationally; whenever probable, Ss can teach mates both internationally and nationally.
A4. Dissemination could be a very vital piece of the project; it would be planned in every partner school towards families,
within schools in that area, including local authorities, all the organizations associated with every school; dissemination will
be done via media and universally with each channel accessible. Students will be involved in peer-to-peer exercises to share
out their new abilities and experience, in their own school and outside.
A5. In every partner organization, teachers make use of the products made and of new strategies all through standard
classes. Accomplishment is assessed comparing outcomes and inspiration accomplished by other groups of Ss instructed
without computerized tools. Members (both students and teachers) will peer-educate both in school and exterior the school.
RESULTS AND IMPACT
Students will increment their information over ICT devices in learning, and commonsense abilities such as making story
trailers, mini-lessons, digital artwork, online tests and projects; at the same time they will upgrade inspira
