he schools will select the subjects (art, figure, migration, entrepreneurship, dance, fashion) from which the students will then carry out particular tasks. On the basis of each subject they will examine opportunities of developing their own educational path, which will help in making their choice of profession, they will know that they must be equipped with a right profession, knowledge of foreign languages and tolerance. The main objectives of the project are:1) To acquire knowledge and skills within the field of self development, educational path and selection of future profession 2) Increase the motivation to learn English and other languages - even those less well known, 3) Developing key skills such as mathematics and computer science 4) Support for students with fewer opportunities.The participating schools (Gymnasium) come from Poland, Latvia, Turkey, Germany, Italy and Sweden. Participants are between 14 and16 years of age. Students will collaborate on subjects, share knowledge, familiarize with new technologies and then distribute the results of their work. 65 students will be able to present the outcomes of their work in partnering schools. Their work will benefit every school and its surroundings. Each school has proposed theme activities and is responsible for the implementation of its parts for all partners. An additional challenge in the process of acquiring and sharing knowledge is the use of new technologies such as internet platforms, FB and other social media, mobile phones, podcasts, etc.As a result of the current world transformations, globalization, social changes - such as increasing unemployment and migrations, students face a more diverse society. Schools must take a proactive approach to acknowledging diversity and teach students to function in a multicultural, multiethnic environment. Students who will participate in the project with such a diverse population can develop an understanding of the perspectives of students from different upbringings. Students will interview participants, gather information, work on the collected data, prepare presentations and present them to the forum. Teachers will benefit from the project through the exchange of experiences ad trainings in the hosting schools. The parents as well as the “employment institutions” will be involved in the project. The results of the project will be photographs, multimedia presentations, videos, website, youth multilanguage dictionary, project datebook. The project will have a motivational effect on other schools in the region, demonstrating its educational values and will also encourage future strategic partnerships.
The project was implemented by students of six schools for three years in the period of 2016-2019. The schools are providing general education (Poland, Lithuania, Turkey, Germany) and vocational education (Sweden, Italy) Topics covered six areas including unemployment and employment, migrations, dance, famous people, tourism and art. Each school led one part of the project and brought its experience and knowledge in this field. The goals of the project were: 1) acquiring knowledge and skills in the area of conscious building of own development path and choosing a future profession, 2) increasing motivation to learn English and other foreign languages - also those less known, 3) developing key skills, including mathematics, IT competences 4) support for students with fewer opportunities. All assumed goals have been achieved. Activities implemented during the project period included activities implemented in each country and during short international activities. During national activities, each school prepared its own action plan and through the implementation of lessons, workshops, educational trips, contacts with institutions and organizations thematically consistent with the task, materials such as presentations, interviews, films, demonstrations, and class scenarios were prepared. The project involved numerous organizations and institutions in the country that cooperated with schools. They were, for example, City Halls, employers 'organizations, non-governmental organizations, parents' associations, other educational institutions (Houses of Culture, other schools, libraries). School activities were supported by the implementation of short-term mobility. Each school was the organizer of one of the meetings. The activities were in line with the planned ones and their results were promoted and disseminated, as well as the European Union was promoted and publicized as the founder of the above activities. During the promotion, the Erasmus + Program logo was used on banners, roll ups, in press articles, on acknowledgments addressed to persons, organizations and cooperating companies. Soft project results and hard results were achieved. The results were confirmed by the results obtained using evaluation tools, such as surveys, interviews, interviews, materials placed on the project website. The project was publicized through information in local, regional and international society. Participants regularly informed the school society through information about activities in the so-called Erasmus Corners at school, local press, information on the websites of schools and cities, local television and during Open School Days. Other educational events were also used to promote activities and share results (e.g. conferences and training). . Exhibitions were also prepared at the headquarters of administrative authorities and community centers. A joint conference of schools from the DrawskiPoviat implementing Erasmus + projects is planned.
