<< Objectives >>We want to be able to welcome, supervise, monitor and integrate students with special needs in our establishments, in Brive (France) and Milan (Italy). Facility staff have identified training and long-term support needs. We want to share and observe our proposals, experiences in collaboration with experts and parents' associations in order to offer European expertise on inclusion in secondary education.<< Implementation >>Sixteen members of staff from our schools in Brive and Milan will work in pairs by videoconference, during observation sessions in the two establishments in the two countries, to compare, draw inspiration from and analyze their respective practices in work and support for students with special needs. Based on these exchanges, and in partnership with a researcher and our parents' associations, we will organize a seminar and publish deliverables.<< Results >>We want to bring this project to a successful conclusion with the organization of a seminar addressed to professionals in our regions with conferences, round tables, reflection workshops, on the production of deliverables of all kinds (flyers, internet pages, articles, audios and videos, interviews...), on the holding of two closing ceremonies in each of our establishments with the partners who will have supported us throughout this project in order to build a more inclusive school together.

This latin sounding acronym calls back to our common roots. It translates into “as the water flows”. The H2O molecule shall indeed be our core thread. For water is in and of itself in various fields we share with with each other, be it from a cultural, scientific, or environmental standpoint. Our actions will aim for four fundamental objectives: social, cultural, linguistic and environmental. The groundwork of our approach is to give meaning to our teachings to the service of an European project and its values.

Sustainability, reducing waste and packaging are our main goals. The students should be motivated to do more sports, to walk more (diary for documentation) and to be more concious regarding their consumers' behaviour. The activities will be documented via videos, reports on the homepage and the local newspapers, and during an informative parents' evening at school

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECTIn this project we wished to promote health and wellbeing amongst the young. We emphasized the positive approach to wellbeing and aimed to promote health instead of merely preventing the problems from occurring. In this approach we wanted the adolescents to have a more active role as subjects instead of passive objects. In addition to working on the topic of youth health promotion we also wished to enforce positive inter-cultural attitudes by working in multicultural groups. Through working in partnership we wished to provide opportunities for both participating schools and our students to raise awareness of cultural differences and similarities and to develop empathy and understanding through collaboration. OBJECTIVESOur main objective was to promote health and wellbeing amongst the young. Along with our main objective the project also intended to add international interaction, participation in multiple events, self-confidence and self-expression. Through raising awareness of cultural differences and similarities we aimed to increase empathy and understanding. We wanted that all this had enabled the project participants to become better EU citizens with positive intercultural attitudes and to take more responsibility of their own wellbeing and those around them.NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS IN FINLAND(1) Aseman lapset, pre-emptive organisation which helps young in risk to get socially excluded(2) SIEIDI, local game company(3) Saapas organisation, based on voluntary work which concentrates on alcohol and drug-related problems(4) Alvar Aalto Museum, museum dedicated to Alvar Aalto's architecture(5) The Natural History Museum of Central Finland(6) Tähtipalvelut, local bus company(7) City of Jyväskylä(8) University of Jyväskylä(9) J-Nappi, service centre for young adults(10) Veturitallit, culture and youth centre(11) Toivolan vanha piha, historical Finnish milieu with handicraft shops and museumNUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS IN ITALY(1) Rehab center in Amelia, Tuscany(2) Vatican museum(3) Colosseum and Forum Romanum(4) Major sights in the centre of historical Rome e.g. Pantheon, Fontana di Trevi and Spanish steps(5) Italian YouTuber(6) Piccola orchestra di Torpignattara, a band formed of immigrants DESCRIPTION OF UNDERTAKEN MAIN ACTIVITIES- Attending project ceremonies and parties - Grouping with the participants - Attending lessons in Jyväskylä and Rome - Attending PE - Brainstorming - Analyzing and comparing results of surveys - Visiting project partners - Debating on project's themes - Arranging tasks and fields of responsibilities concerning project's final products- Lectures given by project partners- Gathering information- Workshops - Preparing and presenting the final products- City tours and sightseeing- Local museums and sights- Living local family life with the host familiesRESULTS AND IMPACTS ATTAINED- Promotion of health and wellbeing amongst the young- Taking more responsibility of oneself's wellbeing and those in immediate surrounding- Helping, understanding and empathising more with fellow citizens- Increased positive attitudes towards another culture- Increased self-confidence and self-expression through international collaboration- Improved language and ICT skills in an international setting- Collaboration with project partners, schools (educational staff and managerial staff) and host familiesLONGER-TERM BENEFITSAccording to our questionnaires, the participating students felt that HPIME project will have a positive effect on their health and wellbeing in the future and those around them.

The project entitled Fermentation processes and their socio-cultural impact on society: an educational project involving students in Norway and Italy is based on the collaboration between two highly profiled upper secondary schools Nordahl Grieg, in Bergen, Norway and Massimo D’Azeglio, in Torino, Italy. Fermentation is an old biochemical process occurring in production of alcoholic beverages, yoghurts and cheeses, used in baking and food preservation. Fermentation is nowadays a topical issue returned to the public attention thanks to consumers’ increasingly care to food quality and sustainability, and local tradition preservation. The project is in line with modern concepts as sustainable agriculture, inclusive and sustainable industrialization and innovation fostering, sustainable consumptions and production patterns, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystem to halt biodiversity loss, according to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Educationally and pedagogically fermentation is a unique opportunity for the involved schools to exchange good practices in cooperative learning, teaching, problem-solving techniques, teamwork, critical thinking and knowledge assessment. The project with its interdisciplinarity will cover subjects as chemistry, biology, history, economy, geography, health and care, statistics, technology and research learning and use of English language. Students will acquire a comprehensive knowledge about local economies and European economy. They will participate to four transnational meetings where practical and theoretical activities will be performed. Universities of Bergen and Torino, the Western College of Bergen, together with local Italian and Norwegian farmers, diaries, wine and beer productors will support the project ensuring a realistic social and economic dimension of the work. Discussions and debates about important issues related to geography, economy, food science, local food and drink traditions, consume of alcohol among young people will be mandatory. The project dissemination through the production of written theoretical and experimental tutorials, videos and short-film tutorials, posters, local seminars and meetings will make the project sustainable. The project is in line with the selected KA229 priorities a) Social and educational value of European cultural heritage, b) Promoting engaging, connecting and empowering young people, and c) Natural Science and EU citizenship and Democracy. Teamwork will promote learning in a social multicultural context encouraging today’s young people to be the guarantors of an European Union hopefully more democratic, inclusive and tolerant towards different cultures and traditions.
