Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE Project-based learning can be one of the highest levels of working. Some characteristics of working in projects are time limits, cooperativ e groups, planned processing and defined aims to reach. At the beginning of a project the students receive a problem. The learners have to work in an open and complex enviroment. Everybody has to pass five stages: orientation, planing, acting, correcting and finalizing. Learning within a project is a form of lesson which demands that the students decide if, what, when and how they act. The weaker the students are the better a task needs to be prepared, they might need more support or a more specific task. For each project there must be defined tasks which requires an outcome, named intellectual output (IO). In the project there are defined tasks for the teachers, which can partly be done by students. 1 Introduction of this project 1.1 Project-based learning

Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE YBRECA (Youth Bridges To Reach Efficient European Citizenship Awareness) is an Erasmus+ project – Strategic Partnership - which was launched on the 1st of September The project consortium comprises of high-schools from Romania (Lead Partner), UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Greece and Turkey. The project addresses the young generation, in pragmatic terms, so that they become active European citizens who take advantage of all the European opportunities, on one side, and make positive social changes, on the other side. The focus lies on intercultural communication among students and among teachers all over Europe, in order to make it a better place to live in, to develop and to reach success.  Think European while making your national traditions famous in Europe! 1 Introduction of this project 1.2 Key concept of the project YBRECA

Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE Coordinating a project with schools in foreign countries is complicated. One person has to lead the group in a working process. A working plan is as important as nessesary. The plan must be discussed and adapted as every other plan with risks and incalculable factors. To follow and reach the aims of a project plan there must also be a time table. The agreements should be planned periodicaly. For example, a meeting can be on Skype, but that does not replace a face-to-face conference. The best way to get people informed is via or with a blog. If some files must be exchanged a dropbox can be used. 2 Planing a project with other schools 2.1 Coordination / Communication / Data Exchange

Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE For the identification of the students with the project a working center can be very useful. The Project Center becomes the working place which wants to be organized, decorated and kept tidy. The students should exchange papers, photos or notes on blogs or due to similar websites. For YBRECA a virtual place to work should be used. One possibility is an online Realtime Board. It looks like a pinboard. It helps to organize the way of working. It can be helpful to exchange actual working stuff. Skype meetings simplify the collaboration for students as well as for teachers. 2 Planing a project with other schools 2.2 Working places and communication for students

Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE To realize a project like YBRECA it is nessecary to coordinate what we can do and what is to be done next. A way to document is the „minutes“ - a kind of protocol for each topic and each partner. All the ideas of teachers or students should be included in planning in order to optimize the result. The students have to act in an open setting. A design for all created materials is important for the students identification. Periodically the plan of teachers and the results of students must be tuned. One of the most important acts for all partners and students is to exhibit the results. For example partition walls, online realtime boards, websites, Project Center ”Open Day”... 3 Realization 3.1 General Steps to realization multiple drafts

Introduction Planing Realization Intellectual Output Intellectual Output 4 TH HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLEION CRETE This guide should be a support for all who want to implement a project like YBRECA in school. To be successful and highly motivated, it is really important to take care about the management, the conditions and the feeling towards the project work. You should also not forget the critiques, risks and problems that might arise. One of the most helpful things will be the results, but also the aspects of coordinating and realizing a project. That is the reason we decided to link all the results into this guide. The implementation is an ongoing process. All intellectual outputs will be implemented towards the end of the project. 4 Documentation – Intellectual Output The guide as a PowerPoint file
