The EU is a union founded on economic and political grounds. This unity includes different nations, languages and cultures. The most important and meaningful way is the Erasmus Projects. For this reason, we decided to choose students with lack of attention between the ages of 8 -11 and to prepare an Erasmus project with 6 partner countries. In this partnership, we aimed to share knowledge, methodology and experience.'The d2 attention test' will targeted at selecting these students. After the test results, students will be considered as a whole, not just for school success. We will create a support environment for them to express easily.At the same time we will create a new environment for them so that they can know whether they have competences in the different fields or don't have.They will go forward to the future by strong steps with the different strategies which they will reduce the lack of attention.These students will be gathered after their classes are finished they will participate in MAC activities (Mental-Art-Cultural) The project consists of 4 periods.: 1. PREPARATION: Application of d2 test identification of pupils, questionnaire survey, Teachers will be given"teaching process and methods". seminars,Panel, workshops, trainings will be done about the lack of attention to do parents.All these trainings will be done by specialists in the partner school. 2.MENTAL WORKS: a-Cognitive Games :It helps the student who has lack of attention to collect his attention.These kinds of games requires high concentration so it increases the level of attention and motivation b-Digital Games :Our aim is to increse these students' concentration and motivation with the help of pedagogic sertificated products that are scientific and funny at the same time. they will develop themselves in the different areas such as verbal intelligence,mathematical skills,logical thinking,reasoning,visualization,attence of visualization,spatial memory,visual screening.While we are doing these our aim is increase and develop the students' ICT skills.

M.A.C>TRACTION,which is prepared with 6 schools from 6 countries,which includes mental,artistic,cultural (MAC) studies with students to solve the problem of attention deficit in primary schools.The start date November 2018,deadline is March 2021.During the project, a total of 6 LTTs were made one of which was virtual.Before the project started, a preliminary research was conducted by the coordinator school. While it was determined that teachers needed professional developments, they had difficulties with some students in their classes, and they were interested in EU projects, it was understood that parents needed guidance.The inventories made in schools revealed the need to find solutions to these problems.Based on this, a project idea was born. On various platforms, it has been noticed that this problem is also seen in schools in Europe and a solution is sought. It was thought that this problem could be solved with the experiences of different teachers from different countries and MACTRACTION was prepared. For the project,STUDENTS with attention deficits between the ages of 9-11 at each partner school were selected by first observation by applying D2 test. The number of students selected is between 10 and 50, depending on the size of the partner schools. It was determined whether the students had changes in focus, attention continuity, and psychomotor speed.Several days of the week,MAC activities, were conducted with the selected students outside of school. In order to determine whether these MAC activities applied in partner schools have a positive return, the d2 test was applied to the first sample groups in February 2021.In the first test, it was determined that the attention levels of the students with low focus and psychomotor speed increased.MAC activities;creative works of the kind that occupy their minds, mental games, chess, digital games, coding studies, musical rhythm games / musical dramas, art works, traditional children's games.In addition to these studies,the project students have participated in and took part in many activities. This contributed to the increase of students' self-confidence. For example, Turkey, the students have made their dance wearing the traditional dress of partner schools in the Day April 23, Cyprus's students books day, in Spain Halloweeen to, in Romania Mortisör to,as important days have been participated. A chess tournament was organized among 6 schools,and the winning students were awarded by medals.Students participated in the competition for the project logo, prepared a Christmas card and posted .Throughout the project, they took part in special days such as Erasmus Days, eTwinning Day,Europe Day, Safety Day,Codeweek.They took videos and made presentations. All these studies were added to the etwinning created for the project and final products were created.All these activities supported the social and cultural development of students, enabled them to gain cultural awareness and improve their ICT skills.At the beginning of the project, the experiences of partner schools on MAC activities were determined: Italy:Strategic Planning, Spain: Mental Games,Cyprus:Digital Games/Web2 tools, Turkey Art Works, Greece: Music/Rhythm Studies, Romania: Traditional Games.Project duration of each partner school this expertise with other schools. Thus, experiences were shared.The project was divided into different periods and activities were done at the each period. Teachers were subjected to various trainings at the school they attended in mobility, and participated in seminars and workshops. When they returned, they applied what they learned to the project students, informed their parents, and shared them with other teachers.This project includes informing the PARENTS as well.Parents have watched films on the subject and learned through panels, seminars and meetings. In this way, they learned to be more beneficial to their children.TEACHERS followed the work done in the project and then applied some of the work in their classes. The biggest gain for teachers is to learn how to use web2 tools in the classroom.New teaching techniques were applied in the school, and new methods and techniques were learned in the mobility. They have learned subjects such as the use of eTwinning, project management, rules of mental games, what students should do in tournaments. They have gained different experiences with this project. The project team participated in trainings held in different countries. Friendships were established between 6 school teachers.Even other eTwinning projects have been done with the same schools and the European quality label has been received.All the work done in the project was shared on the project social media accounts and website, promotions were made to other partner schools, explained and disseminated on many platforms. Each partner school prepared slides,e-books,for the project promotion and brought the project together with more people through local events.
