Capua, Italy (22nd - 26th, May, 2017)
Erasmus+ project “Inventions and Cultural Behaviour” activities in Italy
On May 22nd – 26th, 2017 the 10b class students of Kaunas J. Urbsys Catholic Basic School Justinas Katinas, Karolina Pociūtė, Viktorija Paulauskaitė together with a teacher of English Džilda Railiene and her project colleague, the leader of the after-school club, Kolomba Bulotiene took part in Erasmus+ project “Inventions and Cultural Behaviour” partners’ meeting in Capua, Italy. Both students and teachers from partner schools’ countries (Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, Turkey) attended the meeting.
The guests were greeted with an amazing musical programme of the students from the Town Music and ITET FEDERICO II Schools. The impressive opening ceremony was followed by the project activities. The students of all the participating schools made the presentations about different gadgets or tools of the IT inventions which have changed people’s life and even their social behaviour. The students improved their creativity skills presenting the information about the famous American entrepreneur, businessman, inventor, one of the co-founder of ‘Apple’ company Steve Jobs. It was not only biography facts that they spoke about, but also the gadgets he has created. His motivational quotations inspire young people never to give up.
All the members of the Erasmus+ project had a unique opportunity to admire the wonderful landscape of the country. We managed to reach Rome and catch a glimse of Colosseum and the magnificent fountains of the old town including the beautiful Trevi fountain. The Pantheon was also inspiring. Moreover, on The Spanish steps, one of Rome's most popular tourist sites, we all made a nice photo of us all so as to keep our memories on Erasmus+ in Italy.
Furthermore, we visited the Royal palace of Caserta , which were designed by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli in the 18th, admired the distant view of Mount Vesuvius in the Naples, dropped into the Science Exhibition “Citta della Scienza“, visited some museums, tasted Italian pizzas and other national dishes, danced folk dances and tried to speak in different languages.
Eramus+ programme is great, because various project activities motivate us and we seek to improve ourselves. We teach and learn, speak different foreign languages, get to know each others’ countries, traditions, cultures and histories.

Online Gaming
This is a common topic between teens and a common problem for the parents/grandparents to talk about. We were interested in what different generations think about games. We asked 45 people who were teens/parents/grandparents 12 questions and made them choose from 3-4 answers. The answers were so different. The teens didn’t admit that games make them unsociable but the older people said that games changed teenager’s mental states, psychology and so on. A lot of “gamers” are addicted to playing online games, making playing games their daily routine. And by that we come to a conclusion that games are changing teens in a bad way and that games have a really bad influence on kids/teens in general.
One week without computers/internet/games

The Futuristic Invention
Cities underwater, eh? Sounds pretty cool. But how would that be good for the environment? The ocean life is very interesting. Whales just swimming around. Imagine waking up and seeing dolphins swimming through your window. But this would not just be beautiful and interesting, but it also has its benefits. One of them is no pollution. These cities would be small, so no cars would be needed, only bikes, skateboards and so on. But what about electricity? The sun gives a lot of energy that would be enough for a small city. Here you wouldn’t need so much electronic devices. Of course you would want to go up sometimes, what to do then? Little wooden boats. They cause no harm, no pollution. What about food? Little plantations of fruits and vegetables. What about air? The huge number of trees and plants there would produce enough oxygen for such small cities that would have a big bubble-like see-through shell. These cities would be perfect for the people who just want to live a healthy, quiet and magical live in the ocean or just tourists. Everything that we wished to have on earth, but in water, and better.

A Pobra do Caraminal, Spain (23rd - 27th, October, 2017)
Istanbul, Turkey (May 14th/18th, 2018)
On 14th/18th May, three eighth form students, Emilija Petrauskaitė, Milda Gadliauskaitė, Rugilė Rankauskaitė, together with English teachers Džilda Railienė and Renata Urbonavičienė, also music teacher Jurga Daubarienė and art teacher Jolanta Jočienė participated in Erasmus+ K2 programme's strategic schools partnership project "Inventions and Cultural Behaviour" teaching/learning meeting in Istanbul. Students and teachers from partners' countries schools - Poland, Turkey, Slovenia, Romania, Italy and Spain also participated there.
The guests were met by Istanbul school students with their folk dances, inviting all the project participants to join in. After an energizing friendly dance, we started our serious works. The students from all participating countries introduced their prepared presentations about the inventions in the field of medicine, emphasizing how they had changed human lives. Moreover, the students demonstrated films, slides created by them about scientists or doctors, whose scientific research has already served the purpose to the well-being of the mankind and still contributes to the effective treatment of illnesses and their prevention.
All the Erasmus+ project's participants admired the mesmerizing countryside of Turkey as well as its cultural heritage. We visited the Blue Mosque, which is also called the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, as well as one of the most famous Istanbul architectural masterpieces - the Hagia Sophia Museum. This church was set up in the 6th century, however, later it was reconstructed into the mosque, and at the moment it is a museum. We visited the unique Basilica Cistern - the water storage. The roof of this building is supported by 336 columns, whose height of each reaches 8 metres.
We had an opportunity to pass through the Great Market of Istanbul, the so called Grand Bazaar. Operating since the 15th century this market is considered to be one of the biggest markets under the roof in the world. We also saw the impressive size Tonkapi Sulton's palace where the rulers of the country lived for 4 centuries. Nowadays there is a museum. Unforgettable time was spent in Miniaturk park of miniatures, which stands as a symbol of various cultures and civilizations. Also, we visited the museum of History, technologies and Islamic science as well as numerous interesting sights in Istanbul.
Taking part in this Erasmus+ strategic schools partnerships project and its various activities do not leave anyone indifferent. The teachers share their educational experience, creative ideas, improve their multilingual and ICT skills, while the students not only enjoy the international community, but also assume it as a possibility to see themselves in the perspective of different environment. In addition, when living with local families they get acquainted with cultural peculiarities of the country, customs, traditions, and after returning to their own country they continue their friendship in the social networks.
