* Context The motto of our Project is: "We must recreate the classroom to the world where the students live". The so-called iGeneration who are currently our students, are young people who, in cognitive and behavioral sense, are raised with the digital technology, on the other hand, the majority of teaching stuff do not belong to the digital world of the youth (digital immigrants), and their didactic tools and teaching methods are not adjusted to the new generation of students. We can, therefore, conclude that one of the reasons for increased pedagogical problems and difficulties in transferring knowledge in schools (decreased level of attention, motivation, inclusion, interest, interaction, etc.) and fulfilling of the educational and functional goals in the process is the not adjusted educative system and not adjusted teachers to the new forms of teaching. This means that the didactic methods and teaching contents should be adjusted to the possibilities that the digital technology offers. * Objectives 1. the teachers of social studies and humanitarian disciplines to get acquainted with the psycho-social characteristics of the new generation of students, pedagogic-educative results and obligation for re-design of the educational system on macro and micro level. 2. the teachers of social studies and human disciplines to get acquainted with the basic elements of digital didactic, teaching 2.0, techniques for using e-content in methodological articulation and elements of web 2.0 in teaching, as well as encourage and educate them how to use them. 3. the teachers to conceive digital didactic entry of contents and techniques that will design the changes in cognitive templates and with their didactic skills to start talking in the language of the digital natives * Number and profile of participants All of the organization partners in this Partnership are experienced in the field of teaching Social Sciences subjects and they will contribute to a great extent for the realization of the proposal. There is total number of about 45 key persons that will be included with working assignment and in training activities. * Activities 1. selection of staff involved in the project, quality assurance, budget control and time management, risk management, acquisitions, financial reports, archiving, reporting to the National Agency and European Commission 2. preparation (task and content related activities) 3. one transnational project meeting (Poland, October 2018 ) 4. three short-term joint staff training events (March 2019 in Italy, October 2019 in Macedonia, April 2020 in Poland) 5. a training event for development of a handbook (August 2020, Italy) 6. dissemination activities (within the institutions involved in the project, in other institutions, public events and mass media coverage, publications and scientific events, graphic materials and online dissemination). * Methodology 1. establishment of a communication network, informative activities, selection and preparation of participants, specific rules and financial regulations. 2. realization of a kick-off meeting and practical arrangements for the training events 3. three short-term training events and one for design of a tool for integration of the materials 4. dissemination phase with previously defined activities in a dissemination plan 5. completion of the project with establishing specific tasks of each partner in the sustainability period, reinforcing the partnership and inviting new partners, planning additional activities * Results The main results of the project are: 1. at institutional / organizational level: developing innovative strategies to implement web 2.0 learning in the curricula based on the events content and on the experience and expertise gained from the project; 2. activities with the beneficiaries: implementing the methodology developed through this project and the OERs in at least 20 schools in all participating countries, with at least 1000 pupils, 100 teachers and 100 parents and family members attending; 3. at inter-institutional level: partnerships with similar institutions and schools to use OER and ICT in social science and humanities subjects * Impact 1. impact on the participants: improved competences regarding implementation of digital didactic in social and humanities subjects; broader understanding of the cognitive and behavioral pattern of the digital natives, ability to adapt the curricula to the needs of the students' cognitive development 2. impact on the participating organizations: innovative approaches to addressing their target groups by providing: more attractive approach in teaching, in line with pupils' needs and expectations, use of ICT-based methodologies; * The potential long-term benefits 1. new innovative approach to teaching and learning social and humanities subjects 2. implementation of the handbook as a teaching tool 3. new projects to enhance the results of this proposal
* Context The motto of our project was "We need to recreate the class in the world in which students live" (ie digital immigrants), and modern teaching tools and teaching methods in the current school are not adapted to our students' generation. Therefore, it can be concluded that one of the reasons for the growing pedagogical problems and difficulties in transferring knowledge in schools (reduced level of attention, motivation, interest, interaction, etc.) and the implementation of educational and functional goals in this process is an inadequate educational system and inadequate teachers new forms of education. It also means that modern teaching methods and teaching content should be adapted to the possibilities offered by modern digital technology. * Objectives 1. Familiarizing teachers of social sciences and humanities with the psychosocial characteristics of the new generation of students, pedagogical and educational results and the obligation to redesign the modern education system at the macro and micro level. 2. Familiarizing teachers of social sciences and humanities with the basic elements of digital didactics, teaching 2.0, techniques of using e-content in methodological articulation and elements of web 2.0 in teaching, as well as encouraging and educating them in the use of these techniques. 3. The teacher develops digital teaching content and techniques that will design changes in cognitive patterns and their teaching skills in order to start speaking in the language of "digital natives". * Number and profile of participants All project partners in this partnership have extensive experience in teaching social science subjects in partner schools and have contributed significantly to the achievement of the goals set. Bosko Karadov from SOU Gimnazija Koco Racin, Doctor of Philosophy specializes in issues related to the psychosocial characteristics of the modern generation of students. 45 people from all partner organizations were involved in work tasks and training under the project. * Activities 1. Selection of people involved in project activities, quality assurance, budget control and time management, risk management, financial reporting, archiving, reporting to the National Agency and the European Commission. 2. Preparation (task-related and substantive activities). 3. Kick-off meeting (Italy, November 2018) to establish an action plan, schedule and dissemination plan for the project activities. 4. Three training courses (January 2019 in Italy, December 2019 in Macedonia, July 2021, on-line, in Poland). Before each training, there were video-conferences in which participants of the training took part. 5. Teacher training (August 2021, online, Italy). 6.
