Title of the project:
The Non-Formal and the Digital Classrooms for Inclusion Beneficiary:
Școala Gimnazială ,,Vasile Lucaciu” Apa, Satu Mare
• School exchange partnership th
• Project total duration: 35 months (15 September 2018 – 14th August 2021).
• Total grant allocated for Școala Gimnazială ,,Vasile Lucaciu” Apa, Satu Mare: 28.317 Euros. • Total grant allocated for all the four project partner schools: 96.458 Euros.
• Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Project partners: 1. Școala Gimnazială ,,Vasile Lucaciu”, Apa, Satu Mare, România, coordinator school;
2. 16 I.C. "S. Chindemi, Siracuza, Italy, partner school; 3. Szkola Podstawowa z Oddzialami Integracyjnymi Nr 6, Siedlce, Poland, partner school; 4. Aksemseddin Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi, Nigde/MERKEZ, Turkey, partener school.
Argument: All the four project partner schools were facing the same problems among their pupils. We applied a questionnaire to a number of pupils, teachers and parents from all the four project partner schools to identify the common problems of our project. We found out the following: - low or insufficient school attendance: Turkey 10%, România 12%, Italy 8%, Poland 10%. - indiscipline: Turkey 20 events, România 19 events, Italy: 2015-2016: 30 events (5 severe), 20162017 - 50 events (5 severe, 3 very severe), Poland 35 events. - lack of motivation to learn: Turkey 50%, România 45%, Italy 28%, Poland 40%. - poor school results: a real problem in all the four project partner schools. - School failure: Turkey: threat, România: 2014-2015: 2 pupils left school at the age of fourteen, 2015- 2016: 19 graduates (out of 33) passed the National Evaluation exam, and in the school year 2016 – 2017 only 8 pupils out of a number of 30 graduates. Italy: 2015-2016: 15 pupils, 2016-2017: 19 pupils, Poland: threat. - early school leaving: a big threat in all the four project partner schools (for example, Italy: 20152016: 12 pupils, 2016-2017: 10 pupils).
Pupils
Teachers
Possible consequences
• A considerable number of pupils are socially and economically disadvantaged (unemployed parents, poverty, semi-illiterate or illiterate parents, migrant parents looking for a better-paid job, parents who are not involved in their children’s school life, etc).
• Our teachers still need to develop the skills necessary to handle the situation many of their pupils find themselves in.
• • • •
The number of pupils will decrease; Some teachers will lose their job; School violence will increase; Pupils’ school results will worsen;
Aim of the project: The aim of the project was to carry out digital and non-formal activities to reduce the cases of school dropout, as well as the number of cases of inappropriate behaviour among pupils in all the four project schools. Inclusion

RED through our school's window: Rules, Expectations, Duties at school & “bonus”… our “ideal” school eTwinning project 2016-2017 7 partners Greece, Norway, Croatia, Romania, Tunisia (2), Italy Athanasia Zafeiropoulou Computer Science Teacher-eTwinning Ambassador
During this collaboration we had focused on activities that motivated our students to: ▪ have a glimpse at partner's schools and compare rules, duties and expectations in secondary school education across partners’ countries ▪ share their everyday school life ▪ realize the importance of education as a social environment and the common ground that exists on our education systems ▪ share their vision of an ideal school and “built” it collaboratively Aim: Enhance students' responsibility and inspire them as agents of change while reflecting on their everyday life at school

Ideal school
We need to give our students the educational program, physical place, and organizational culture to encourage the development of conscious global citizens. Students spend the majority of their day in a school building during their most crucial developmental years. In this time of pivotal growth, schools must be a space for creative thinking, a source of inspiration, and a starting
point for developing a sense of awareness and responsibility
Sustainable schools create an environment where teachers and faculty can cultivate a positive and progressive school culture. Teachers have more opportunities to devise unique learning opportunities and students benefit through increased participation and productivity and improved problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Sustainable schools are the teaching tool that bring together education and community engagement. These collaborative activities inspire all members of the school community, which creates a culture of continuous learning, growth, and development. Source: https://www.greenschoolsalliance.org

Objectives/Goals • To ensure that students develop their educational learning in terms of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics through various hands-on activities. • Ensure that all learners participate in inclusive education using problem-solving approaches. • To put students in a position to learn about Virtual / Augmented Reality and make them participate in an attic and creative way in imaginary worlds with the use of available tools. • Create new methods of interaction with Virtual / Augmented and Mixed Realispatial skills by using the space available in the classroom. • To develop reflection skills on the priorities of what is needed in the classroom environment. Expected results This project will provide stty applied to the cultural sphere. • Acquire the basic skills of 3D creation. • Improve students with the opportunity to contribute to t
Respect for others even in Virtual reality
Expected results This project will provide students with the opportunity to contribute to the way they perceive their space in the classroom and the surrounding space in general in order to create a differentiated learning environment that meets all their needs. Students will learn more about what they need in a learning environment that they think they know but have never carefully observed, plus they will be guided to distinguish between seeing and looking, therefore, valuing the person beyond things that surround us.

to promote right- based quality education - to create the environment for child-friendly teaching and learning where everyone is healthy and safe from any form of violence - to promote awareness in schools, families and communities of their roles for providing equal educational opportunities for everyone - to enhance the dynamic participation of families in the school policies and activities - to strengthen cooperation and collaborate
Activity 1 – Characteristics of a sustainable school Step 1
Step 2
chatting with partners to discuss about the elements that make a school sustainable
Creating a collaborative map Each partner school chose and developed an aspect of the child friendly school that was discussed during the chat and shared with this mind map.
Step 3 Each partner school made illustrations of the school of their dreams. All the illustrations uploaded in the twinboard. Then a contest was organized: each school voted for their best drawing. Finally the winner drawing of each school uploaded in a common poster made by Canva.
– Let's take action to make our school child friendly discussing with classmates and then writing their actions in a table. Then, taking photos and sharing them in the twinboards.
Our pupils are realizing their actions.
Step 2 We are continuing working on the activities and the next step will be uploading all the produced materials like articles about sustainability and inclusiveness, interviews, photos of our actions in a common magazine.

“An inclusive
library” ⚫

based on the activities of the eTwinning project
“I LIKE, an Inclusive Library for Inclusive Kids from Europe” ⚫

Marina Screpanti- Italian Ambassador
I_LIKE “An Inclusive Library for Inclusive Kids from Europe” The project will focus on inclusion. Students from Belgium (speaking Greek) and Italy will be invited to reflect on the problems and the difficulties some people face because they are marginalized or not totally included in our communities. The reflections will turn into a concrete action: spread the voice about the underlined problems in order to sensitize people and gradually change their minds. A library with different picture books will be created. Each book will address one of the problems: inclusion of special needs people, foreigners, immigrants, people with a different colour of the skin, gender equality. The books will be shared in a digital and paper version and disseminated in many ways.
Planning together in Live meetings and Google docs
