Students should participate in society. We are establishing contact with local politicians. Our students were listened to.
Students from all five participating schools agreed on future demands for their respective communities for the year 2030. They discussed several issues concerning "Social Equality", "Leisure, Recreation and Health", "Education", "Public Transportation", "Energy and Environment" and "Politics". The results of these discussions make up the Charta of Varna, which was solemnly handed over to the mayors of all five schools in Varna, Loulé, Munich, Oulu and Sint-Niklaas.
"An absolute highlight of our visit to Varna was the interview with Radio Varna about our joint Erasmus + project, where we talked about the content and goals of our collaboration, first the students, then the teachers, and the program was aired in Bulgaria nationwide one week after our art work meeting. "
For this project three German students invited different politicians from Munich to answer questions on inclusion and smart cities. More Information? Click here.
A selfie of the Erasmus-Team with the Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter
On Friday, 2.2.18, three representatives of the AWG-Erasmus + team met with Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter to solemnly hand over the "Charta of Varna". On the two-page document, pupils of the five member schools in the project "Living in a smart environment 2030 - Chances and Challenges", where the AWG is the project leader, have recorded their wishes and demands for the city of the future at their working meeting in Varna in the spring of 2017. After the Charta had already been handed over to the city leaders in Varna, Bulgaria and in Loulé, Portugal, we were able to hand them over to our Munich OB.

The AWG as a good example - Lecture at the Pangeo Congress in Vienna
Various best practice examples of our previous Comenius and Erasmus + projects were presented on 24.09.2018 to an international audience at the University of Vienna. The lecture took place during the teacher session of this year's Pangeo Congress. The Pangeo takes place every two years as a showcase of geoscientific research and its application.

While teaching at Loulé Secondary School, he has also participated and coordinated several national and international projects (Comenius, Erasmus +, Ciência Viva in the summer, among others).
The school is going digital. That will change the school. During Erasmus, one of the German teachers had a idea:
We should create Learning-Software together as Europeans. That way every student in Europe can benefit from it.
This European idea was disseminated in an interview. One of Germany's biggest news portals had the interview on its homepage.
Spiegel.de is Germany's largest news platform on the Internet. In addition to other teachers, Robert Plötz from the AWG was asked about digitization.
It was possible to attach a central message.
Learning software must be co-financed and developed by all Europeans.
That's the only way we have enough money for good software. Only then can the software be made available to all students free of charge.
Near the school, a large area is completely rebuilt. The district is to become a creative quarter.
The planners sent an invitation to the school. In a network meeting new neighbors should get to know each other. A teacher and a student from the Erasmus team took part in the meeting. Our student was the only teenager on the scene. The planners were very interested in her ideas. The meeting has developed a partnership between the school and a Makerspace.
The teachers from Portugal, who were participating in the Varna meeting in May 2017, made a video about their week in the sea capital.
