The European Erasmus+- program unites different former programs like Comenius for schools and Erasmus for universities since 2014 and finances exchanges, learning experiences and the collaborations of schools and other partners.

The program aims to improve competences and work aibilities and promotes the modernisation of school systems for children and young people.

There are 2 actions relevant for schools.

In this current project we are 9 European schools and, associated, one school in Belarus.

We have known each other for some years now - some even since 1997. But that does not mean that we are a closed circle. The schools in Edinburgh and Noordwijk we newly found last year.

We trust each other dearly and in the Transnational Meetings we discuss our progress, talk about difficulties and always have an indoor training session on relevant topics.

We also think it very necessary and helpful to see each other and have some fun together. That builds up our friendship and relationship.

We all agree that including schools outside the EU is very important. We feel that we work together on understanding and learning from each other - for us an important component for peace.

You can find the countries, towns and schools under "Schools".

Our topic "From Papyrus to Stonepaper and Beyond - the Questions Behind" was created during our last Erasmus+ Project, where we got to know stonepaper and a first impression of "Blue Economy" - a different, ecological and environmental view on economy . We thought it worth to explore that in a new project.

To structure our vast ideas about it we formulated the "Five Pillars of Wisdom" - The History of Paper - Culture and Art - Ecology and Recycling - Economy and Stonepaper - Electronic Future.  .....

In our last projects we had a strong look at evaluation. We  made our own self evaluation sheets and filled them in according to our agreements. But we also had help from the university of Science education in Buca / Izmir  where some students and post graduates  evaluated our work .

In this project  it will be  self evaluation of the project concerning the school development, the teachers and the students - and also our Erasmus group.

The University of Buca will evaluated especially the workshop in Izmir in June 17 and also look at our self evaluation on a scientific scale. It might be used on international conferences.
