"There is a misuse of Internet social networking by pupils and it is influencing our educational environment and creating behaviour and organisational problems to the three partner schools. We found it necessary to create a project which aimed to establish a cooperation between schools, families and the environment that surrounds the schools, to solve the problems and provide the agents with positive strategies to use social networking. These wee the objectives of the project: -Analyze and evaluate the use students make of social networks. -Analyze and evaluate its repercusions on the school and its surroundings. -Redirect the detectable abuse/misuse of social networks -Break the LACK OF EMPATHY that social networking creates. We are determined to teach students that when we use the Internet or a virtual space to interact, we miss the empathy that the fact of seeing and hearing others directly implies. This must be taken into account so as to make a bigger effort to be more careful with the words we use; we must choose them by thinking of the interlocutor who is ""on the other side of the screen""; this fact requires from us to master the language and to be mature enough. A challenge for teenagers that we do not want to avoid facing. -Implement the courteous use of language and good manners in virtual relationships (""netiquette""), while indirectly bettering the relationships among equals. -Make use of a widespread social network (Twitter, Facebook, ask.com) as a concrete example to establish more direct, accessible and immediate communication between the school and its surroundings by:Informing and orienting students and teachers,Informing and orienting families and the school environment,Strengthening its use as a vehicle of communication from the school itself -Show the students that there are more languages in the EU besides English and that all of them are relevant to communicate. They should appreciate the richness that speaking another language implies, no matter which one. Romanian, Italian and Spanish are closely connected and it would be more than welcome if some of our students who do not study one of the other two languages, feel like doing it. The project can also be a motivation to it. Implementing projects is always a challenge for the participants involved. In this case, the three schools really wanted to change the way students establish their relations. We also found it an essential pillar of our actions to create a stronger link between the institutions, the families and the surroundings. This is the key to make the project itself sustainable in time and quality. MAIN ACTIVITIES. ""A+number"" is the way they were registered in the application form. It can also be seen a description of each of them. A5/8/13- 3 meetings between students and teachers (INTERCHANGES) to compare and evaluate the implementation of the project. A6- Parental school and sessions for students on the coorect use of Social Networks given by experts. During 16-17 our school created permanent units on Digital Citizenship for tutors and Moral Values subject. These units will be shared with partners during 17-18.A9- Follow up: Italy and Spain decided to choose the activity on NETIQUETTE. Albéniz school did it the two years. A12- Creation of the LOGO which represents the project.A16: Creation of a HANDBOOK. Romania and Spain worked on it and Italy was in charge of the video summary (another previous activity)The most relevant results are: -Creation of a bigger awareness in families and schools of the importance of educating together so that students can use the Internet and social networks better. -Knowledge and diffusion of the European space by visiting the different countries. Continuing with this aspect will involve the use of some social networks and some other channels which may be more or less formal, but which have been present in our daily routines in these two years."
