FROM OPPRESSION TO FREEDOM - REDISCOVERING EUROPE WITHOUT BORDERS

"<< Background >>We are going through a period in which the use of technology in education and training activities has become widespread.With this project, we aimed to respond to the needs of our students to be involved at the social level, at the instit. leveland to develop their ability to integrate. To be able to do this, they must know all aspects of the society in which they live.They must understand all aspects of a society that the young generation feels as a communication barrier.Our generation, of those who lived in communism with the fear of oppression, with the fear of movement and expression,can oppose the resistance of the current generation that did not know the factors of these mentioned fences. We believed thatthrough this project the students could get closer to the generation of their teachers who are trying their best to understandtheir libertine mentality, critical thinking and their continuous movement.It is obvious that they could only read about what happened during the communist period, but hearing from the elders andtheir teachers made that period become much more credible in the eyes of the students and they were warned about theimportance of political knowledge at the level of their society .<< Objectives >>The activities we proposed refered first of all to the students' awareness of the extremist politics that communism wantedin the period 1960-1990. Then, the activities will be directed in such a way that the products obtained could be visible to thenext generations of students who who arrived in our schools in 2 years. Therefore, the book creator, seminar, conferences, short movies made by students, the methodology with lesson plans, objects collected and exhibited in the school museum had a constant schedule of free visits.The activities were in line with the objectives of the project so that students were able to understand what a political system means that had led to the displeasure of intellectuals, to condemn their own citizens, to hunger and cold.The objectives were also achieved by making QRs so that students and teachers combined the historical past withcurrent technology, the concrete form of modernism.<< Implementation >>So far, 18 activities dedicated to the project theme FROM OPPRESSION TO FREEDOM REDISCOVERING EUROPE WITHOUT BORDERS have been carried out at the level of all partner institutions. Various activities have been carried out in Romania. The partnership with the local history museum was a benefit because historians shared a lot of stories about the communist period in Romania. In the school in Slovakia, the Erasmus+ course was proposed for students participating in the project. The course was officially listed as optional in the school. The students of the Slovak school commemorated the events of the 1956 Revolution and the Struggle for Freedom. As part of the commemoration, the Erasmus+ project students made a presentation to the school students about the Erasmus+ FREEDOM project. The school in Slovakia also organized the conferences ""Communism in the partnercountries"" and ""Life stories from the communism era"". The Czech school participated with its students in an exhibition ""Memory of the Nation"", which focused on the mock trials of 1948-1953 and the impact of these trials on ordinary people. The Polish school organized the seminar ""Stories from communism times"". All transnational mobilities in Romania, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.<< Results >>2 bookscreator from conferences https://read.bookcreator.com/q4rNpm0GpTMAG01jqFAyYxuZQ9C2/m0W6qsKjSMyIi7rGu_1l5Q/wLWPq5PgR3qgCXfXbhFc6Q26 logos1 winner logo https://sites.google.com/view/logocontesterasmus/final-vote?authuser=012 PPT6 postcards6 calendars6 films created by students about an intellectual personality affected by communism16 clothing items exhibited from the communist periodhttps://youtube.com/shorts/s3kvD3gu4hQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP0EauU_2hI2 mini-museum with exhibits from the communist period5 newspaper articles 18 posters3 calendars1 kahoot game6 stories from communism era1 television appearance in Slovakia and Hungary1 project site6 project website12 lesson plans included in a methodology (appendices)2 budgeted international conferences1 seminar4 questionnaires6 movies about victims from communism times1 padlet as evaluation1 etwinning page4 lists of attendance 80 certificates of participation from 2 conferences36 certificates of participation from seminar130 certificates of participation from 3 mobilities"
