During the period 1 September 2018-31 August 2020, five European schools will work together to implement the School Exchange partnership ”Get in Shape for Europe” (GISE). The partner schools are:
We discoverd that here is a need for activities and projects that will make Europeans fall back in love with Europe again. School and education has an important role to play in promoting the common European values enshrined in the EU Treaty, values that are a prerequisite for creating a socially coherent society. Partner schools need opportunities to develop a conducive environment to the promotion of European values among pupils. Social, civic and intercultural competencies foster inclusiveness. So, the goal of the project is to promote democratic values and fundamental rights, social inclusion and active citizenship and equip students and teachers with the information and skills needed to become informed and involved European citizens.
The target groups for the implementation of project activities are the teachers and students aged 14 to 19.
This project contributes to the institutional development of schools from several points of view, such as strengthening the European dimension of schools and increasing the capacity to operate at European level by exchanging experiences, methods and best practices and integrating them into the teaching and extra-curricular activities of partner schools, creating, in partner schools, a friendly, inclusive and democratic environment, strengthening the cooperation between the teachers involved in the project activities (which can generate new ideas, new activities, new projects), increasing the quality of education offered in partner schools as teachers will improve their knowledge and skills that will be used in didactic and educational work, promoting schools in the educational community, strengthening cooperation with local institutions.
Our project aims to contribute to the implementation of the European policies mentioned in the documents (such as Europe Strategy 2020, Paris Declaration, Proposal for a Council recommendation-17 January 2018) aiming to promote a fair, democratic and inclusive society. A key factor in achieving this strategy is the social, civic and intercultural competences that foster inclusion.

The 5thSenior High School is situated in the city of Aigaleo, which is suburb near Athens.The total number of our students is 270, aged from 15 to 18, and as for our teaching staff, there are 30 teachers, specialized in different scientific areas. The subjects taught are: Greek Language and Literature, Biology, Mathematics, History, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Education, Religious Education, Project, Social and Political Studies, the English Language, Computer Science. The main aim of our school is to offer our students general education on the subjects mentioned above and to prepare our 3rd-grade students for the University entrance exams since the Greek Educational System is mainly focused on that direction. Due to the economic crisis that has been plaguing our country since 2010, a lot of our students are facing certain social and economic difficulties, since the percentage of unemployment is quite high in our region. Therefore, this has a negative impact on the educational level of the students as well, who definitely need extra support and help by the teachers to respond to the high needs of school. In this context, the teachers try through combined efforts to involve students in projects and assignments in order to broaden their horizons, to raise students’awareness about issues of world interest and violation of human rights and to enhance their team spirit and creativity through theatrical performances and extra-curricular activities, in order to promote social inclusion and tolerance. Our school has experience in running thematically-related projects: Youth Parliament, Visit to the Greek Parliament, 1974: Restoration of Democracy in Greece, Rhetorical strategies and debate, Human rights, European Youth Parliament, Euroscola, Model United Nations.

Zespół Szkół Ekonomiczno-Gastronomicznych (The High School of Economics and Gastronomy) is one of the oldest and largest vocational schools in Tarnów. The school was founded on 6th November 1911.

The students may choose from the following specializations: economic technician, hotel industry technician, tradesman technician, technician of gastronomic services and catering, salesman, confectioner, cook, and waiter.

About 70% of our students are commuters and live up to 50 km from the school. Participation in the project will give us the opportunity to broaden our knowledge on basic European values: respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy and equality. During short-term study visits and workshops, we would like to exchange knowledge and experience with other schools regarding integration, non-discrimination, equality of rights of all European citizens, regardless of gender, origin, religion, in order to develop the figure of a conscious and committed citizen. Our school has experience in the implementation of various projects.

Adress: Piazza Sen. Marescalchi, 2, Piazza Armerina, Enna, Italy
The I.I.S. “E. Majorana-A. Cascino” of Piazza Armerina is a large high secondary school with a very long tradition and experience: it has been operating in our area for about 150 years. Over the years it has changed courses and specialization to keep pace with modern demand. Today it covers different programs of education: technical education (with specializations in I.T., Mechanic, Electronics, Chemistry), vocational education (with specialization in Tourism), theoretical education (with specialization in classic and scientific studies). After a five-year-course our students get a diploma and they can choose to look for a job or attend university. The total amount of the students is 1066 divided into 58 classes. The school employs 115 teachers with high professional and general qualification. 70%of our students are commuters who come from small centres in the neighbourhood. The social and cultural background of the students is mixed: a great part of the students’ families face economic problems due to the high percentage of unemployment in our territory and don’t have opportunities to travel abroad. A smaller part of the students have good economic conditions. This diversity is an advantage that gives the opportunity to be in contact with different realities and to learn the respect of diversity. The project GISE fits with our educational syllabus whose main goal is, among the others, the promotion of an intercultural education, of the respect of differences and the dialogues among different cultures. The short term visits and workshops will give our students the opportunity to exchange experience and knowledge with students from other countries and to learn how to be a real European citizen. Furthermore the presence in our territory of organizations which deal with migrants gives us the opportunity to organize meetings and discussions with the students in order to promote the ideals of social inclusion and non discrimination. Teachers in foreign languages have been involved in Leonardo Projects; they have coordinate many language stages in England, France and Spain (PON FSE from 2008 to 2014) involving about 300 students. We usually organize courses in our school to get the most important certifications: Trinity, Delf and Dele.
