“Sustainability as a Resource” is the name chosen for our project which is aimed to contribute to the improvement of the situations our schools and areas are facing: disadvantage students, special needs, poor school performance, cultural differences, youth unemployment and a lack of hope for the future. The idea emerged in the coordinating country continuing with a previous Comenius project in which our students analyzed the high unemployment rates in Europe. It is time now to take actions to reduce it. Our priorities are to develop basic and transversal skills using innovative methods. Strengthening the profile teachers to deliver high quality teaching dealing with complex classroom realities and adopting new methods and tools. Enhancing digital integration in learning, teaching and training. Some other objectives for students, teachers and local associations are: the development of linguistic competence in English and entrepreneurial thinking with respect to sustainable tourism; the increase of environmental awareness; the creation of synergies between secondary and vocational schools, local organizations and Youth Centers; the economic recovery of the area where the school are situated . The city of the coordinator school has started to take advantage of the touristic possibilities of the old mines. It is a sustainable activity which has helped the town to reinvent itself by conserving its heritage. We want to promote this type of sustainable touristic activities among our students so that they learn to create jobs taking advantage of what their areas offer respecting the environment. We used E-twinning to look for five schools in Italy, Croatia, Finland, Turkey and Germany. They seek solutions to similar problems and offer varied examples of this type of initiatives. Italy tourism and sport; Croatia rural tourism; Turkey religious tourism and pilgrimage; Germany winter snow tourism and options for disable people and Finland therapeutic tourism.They are schools with experience in vocational training courses as Germany, Croatia and Italy; a school in Turkey to fight against racism and religious differences promoting tolerance; an isolated school in Finland which needs communication with the rest of Europe; a school favouring integration of physically handicapped, as Germany. Each school will have one or more local Associations and Governments collaborating in some of the activities in the project. All the students in the schools involved will benefit from our project indirectly in one way or another. So approximately 2500 students and 220 teachers will be involved. But only 5 students and 2 teachers per school will go to the Short term exchanges to do the activities in each meeting. A high percentage are students with fewer opportunities such as cultural differences, economic obstacles and disability. Parents, representatives from the local associations and governments will also take part in the activities. Methodology: The activities have been designed to create a scheme of knowledge and learning based on four pillars. LEARNING - AWARENESS - DESIGN - DISSEMINATION. Each one contributing to the next one and they have been integrated in the school syllabuses. The work to be done in the International Learning/Teaching/Training Activities will be organized in: Formative/Learning Activity. Students will be given information related to the topic in each international exchange. Training Activities in which they will put into practice the acquired knowledge such as workshops, routes and visits. A photograph Exhibition, concert with recycled instruments, a documentary with short films from the different countries and a dissemination booklet as a Guide for Good Practice regarding sustainable tourism are some of the examples. Carrying out this project will imply a lot of achievements and results. Some of them will be direct products of the activities such us the photo exhibition, the tracks of the routes in the differents countries that can be downloaded from Wikiloc, collection of pictures from the activity Photographing Trails, a Guide for Good Practice regarding sustainable tourism, etc. And others will be the knowledge and experience gained by the participants. These activities will have impact at different levels and times, some of them long term. Students will change their attitude and feel more interested in learning realizing that they are better prepared to find a job because of their improvement in linguistic and digital competence. Teachers will increase their motivation to learn English and ITC to be better qualified and to take part in future European projects. Schools will offer an innovative approach offering a more attractive programme based on a project task based methodology. E-twinning will be used as an effective working tool. Regional governments will value our schools and favour the creation of Vocational Training courses. Synergies between schools and associations will be created.
