Our Erasmus+ project is called “In CC : in Contact, in Culture”. Beyond the promotion of the linguistic and cultural richness of the European Union, our project stimulates creativity and develop cross-cultural competences. It also aims at remotivating youth mobility in Europe, especially in the context of the Covid-19 crisis. The project, which will take place from May 2021 to April 2023, will link 5 schools in 5 different European countries: Lycée Alfred Mézières in France, I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Adama Mickiewicza w Sulęcinie in Poland, IES Cantabria in Spain, Convitto nazionale Mario Cutelli in Italy, Klara Teoretiska Gymnasium Vallgatan in Sweden. The language of communication will be English but an introduction to the 5 languages of the countries is also planned so as to enhance plurilingualism too. Our project will reinforce cross-cultural comparison by combining digital contact via eTwinning and physical contact via the learning activities. Our exchange project will thus be hybrid. A kick-off transnational meeting in Spain, in May 2021, will involve the teachers of the project and will enable them to organize the final details of the project. Five learning activities will take place, involving short-term exchanges of groups of pupils aged between 15 and 17 years old. Each mobility will gather 32 students, along with 10 teachers: - in October 2021 in Poland; - in January 2022 in Sweden; - in April 2022 in Spain; - in November 2022 in Sicily; - in March 2023 in France. During the learning activities, students will learn more about mobility opportunities via a conference. They will also collaborate and exchange through multinational workshops. Finally, they will develop their European citizenship and will experience a new culture by sharing their cultural backgrounds and their local cultural offer, by sharing their partner’s family life, by learning their partner’s language and cultural reality and by enhancing their knowledge about Europe. The project will lead to three creative productions: * the creation of a tool to encourage the mobility: a booklet composed of mobility sheets to present the different possibilities of mobility as well as tips to help preparing the mobility. This tool will be available for all students online on the schools' website and in a "mobility corner" in each school. * the organisation of a "Mobility Fair" (an exhibition along with talks) in each school so as to give information and motivation to all the students of the schools and other local schools to take the first step abroad. * the creation of videos promoting the partners' country, culture and local cultural heritage. The objectives of this project are manifold and have different targets: - for students: higher self-confidence, in English but also on an interpersonal level (development of linguistic and communicational skills) / development of transversal and intercultural competences / development of ICT and creative skills / learning about the cultural heritage of each country / better awareness of European citizenship and better knowledge of the European Union. - for teachers: professional development through new teaching methods and through the discovery of other school systems / discovery of the cultural heritage of each country / development of intercultural and English skills. - for schools: a stronger dynamic inside the school (thanks to team work) and outside the school (better visibility and attractiveness thanks to the disseminating work).

Our Erasmus+ project called “In CC : in Contact, in Culture” aimed at remotivating youth mobility in Europe, especially in the context of the Covid-19 crisis. Beyond the promotion of the linguistic and cultural richness of the European Union, the goals were to stimulate creativity, enhance plurilingualism and develop cross-cultural competences. We noted that youth mobility had an impact on employability, which is more than relevant for high-schoolers who are starting to determine and make choices about their future. The project being hybrid (digital contact via eTwinning/Padlet and physical contact via the learning activities), it was also aimed at developing digital skills. During the 5 learning activities, students learnt more about mobility opportunities via conferences. They also collaborated and exchanged through multinational workshops. Finally, they developed their European citizenship and experienced a new culture by sharing their cultural backgrounds and their local cultural offer, by sharing their partner’s family life, by learning their partner’s language and cultural reality and by enhancing their knowledge about Europe.
