"Our surroundings: Spreading and Sharing our cultural Heritage through ICTs" develops a whole series of actions and objectives focused on the dissemination and knowledge of European cultural heritage. In the realization of the common project, it has been developed together with the following schools: Sport School "Georgi Stolkow Rakovski" from Bulgaria; Istituto Comprehensive Maglie from Italy and Publiczna Szlola Podstawowa núm 5 from Poland and Colegio Santa Ana de Villalonga from Spain. Our project has an essential objective that drives the rest: the need to impact European citizens in the development of a common European citizen awareness through knowledge of the culture and heritage of the different partners involved in the project. Thus, this objective unfolds in the first place, in the proper and exhaustive knowledge of one's own heritage and the different aspects that are necessary to have one's own quality vision of one's own cultural heritage. The first actions that were derived were those that, from the work meetings of the commission, the didactic sequences focused on the knowledge of heritage and cultural heritage with the aim of generating quality digital content, ready to be shared in a shared space. common. The chosen format was QR codes, which had a physical and real presence in the environment of each partner. Another objective was the development of digital competence through the creation of digital content that they generated through their own work on knowledge of heritage and heritage, but also through online activities, making contact and development of mutual knowledge, through digital platforms: E-Twinning and digital conferences. Student knowledge content has been generated with the aim that each student could present himself and, also, the environment in which he lives. During the time of the pandemic, these types of contact activities were continued following the celebration of common events: Christmas, the International Day of Mother Languages, the Day of Art and the Day of the Book. With the aim of creating powerful and enriching life experiences, the two mobilities that could be carried out before the pandemic changed the course of the project took place. Two mobilities were carried out, one to Bulgaria in October 2019 and the other to Italy in December 2019. From then on, the history of our project took on another aspect due to the arrival of the pandemic. In both cases, the experience more than met the objectives set. At the level of the life experience of our students and the students of the project, interesting personal synergies were generated that, even today, remain as personal contact continues. Regarding the dissemination of heritage and cultural heritage, the host students were in charge of showing heritage and cultural heritage to students from other countries; as well as showing the digital content generated, like tourist guides. All these contents, plus the mobility diaries, were systematically posted on the common E-twinning platform and, in turn, on the website that was created for the project. The web aims to be a help and consultation tool available to the entire population, because our project pursues that, to expand knowledge also outside of educational centers, in short, to have an impact. We want to emphasize that the vital power of the experiences not only had an impact on the students, but also on the teachers. The knowledge of other ways of doing things, of other initiatives, other views and visions of teaching, undoubtedly enriched the interactions. Visiting professors were also offered the possibility of experimenting with pedagogical actions of the host centres. So much so that the mobilities carried out have generated new projects with some of the partners for the next jobshadowing K1s. On the other hand, and after our first experience as coordinators of an Erasmus project, it has given us the necessary domain to be able to get involved in new projects in a European environment (specifically 3 more) and the culture of Erasmus has settled in our Center as part of our sign of identity, as one of our strategic objectives: The internationalization of the Center.
"Our Surroundings: Spreading and Sharing our Cultural Heritage through ICT" is a Service Learning Project that is aimed at impacting the localities of the different project partners in order to improve knowledge and accessibility of its citizens using such an everyday element as mobile devices. The KA229 school exchange initiative puts five schools from different parts of Europe in contact with each other for a common goal: Knowledge and dissemination of the cultural heritage. The centers involved are the following: "Georgi Stoikov Rakovski" sports school in Bulgaria; Group of Escolas de Avis of Portugal; Maglie Comprehensive Institute of Italy; Publiczna Szkola Podstawowa No. 5 of Poland and the Santa Ana School of Spain. These are schools that have pedagogical improvement programs in common through methodological innovation, the use of ICT and the use of integration programs with students at risk of educational exclusion. Likewise, these are municipalities with a school population that ranges from 300 students to 800 students. Moreover, they are public and concerted schools, which gives even more richness to the project. The objectives of the project are focused on the development and promotion of cultural heritage in different environments through technological means. In this way, the aim is to adopt a common European conscience that becomes diversity, both human and cultural, in an integrating and effective way. Another objective, the development of learning through ICT, which is implemented through innovative methodologies and cooperation between students and teachers. The project will be developed through the creation of digital content, which will be disseminated in the form of QR codes, prepared by the students themselves from different training actions - dynamic groups of experts, collaborative routines through digital media ...-. These contents will be present, both in the areas of tourist and cultural interest of the localities, and on the website of the project that will be generated as a common product to the participating centers. Therefore, it is about establishing linkages between schools and other entities that also impact on the improvement of the environment in which they live. Students, once the content has been prepared, will publicize their work through different means of communication, such as in-person dissemination sessions, activities in real learning environments -such as participation in public events -... In the realization of the project students from ages 11 to 15 are involved and the actions described will be part of the permanent projects of the educational project of the different schools, and it will shape a future plan of cultural and tourist promotion in the different locations .
