Project Summary

The IES Eras de Renueva, coordinator of this Erasmus project has extensive experience in this field having organised multiple activities
Our center participated, together with twenty-five other European schools from nineteen countries, in the sessions in which the document “The European Charter for Democratic Schools without Violence” was written, in Strasbourg in 2004, organised by the Council of Europe. The “Peace Day” has been celebrated every year, with literary, musical and artistic activities in which the protagonists have always been the students.
Through this project, attempts have been made to raise awareness about the importance of Human Rights and democratic values ​​to promote tolerance and fight hate speech. It has been intended to favor social inclusion and the development of ICT skills. The objectives set were the following:
Learn about democracy and human rights, learn through democracy and human rights and learn for democracy and human rights developing the critical skills necessary to participate in a democratic society.
All partners have previously worked on this issue, trying to prepare their students for their future lives, encouraging them to discover their own identity and making them responsible European citizens.
There is no doubt that cooperation and collaboration among students from different countries create the right space for human interaction.
Regarding the activities carried out, six meetings were organised, four LTT meetings and two transnational meetings (TM) with the aim of organising the entire project. LTT meetings were held in Slovakia, Turkey, Italy and Spain, while TM meetings took place in Slovakia and Italy.
A calendar was needed to sequence the planned activities for the two years of the project, which were the following:
Creation of Erasmus teams of teachers and students.
Websites, email accounts and social networks (whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram) to interact and disseminate project products.
Information panel (Erasmus Wall) for activities.
E Twinning project to work and share.
Survey on Human Rights. It was passed to students, teachers, families and citizens. analysing them in each country. Collection of final results
Project logo competition. Publication of finalists on Facebook and Twinspace. Voting through Google.
The winning logo appears on all project documents.

Activities in different subjects to raise awareness about human rights. They were shared on eTwinning.
Calendars (2018-2019) and Posters with Human Rights based design.
International Women’s Day: exhibitions, conferences and workshops.
Presentations of the sociocultural context of each centre and on the specific topic of each mobility.

Specific topics of each LTT:
1 LTT: “Sociocultural reality of my region”
2 LTT: “Violation of human rights”
3 LTT: “Rights of refugees and vulnerable groups”.
4 LTT: “Human rights through art”.

Results and impact achieved
Participating in this project, students have developed their social and civic competences through active participation in the workshops and proposed activities on Human Rights and Democratic Values. All this has contributed to the development of the critical spirit and the ability to work in a team.
The sharing of their work has been an opportunity to put democratic values ​​into practice in a suitable atmosphere. It has also been the occasion to respect the ideas of others and learn to collaborate with colleagues from different countries.
Students have used workshops to create materials in order to disseminate the project using ICT tools. These meetings improved respect and sociability, reduced xenophobia, improved oral skills in English and expanded knowledge about other countries.
Longer term benefits. Some teachers participated in courses related to the awareness of students in Human Rights during the summer of 2019 to continue working on this topic in their classes
