Doukas School participates in several EU and National R&D projects and coordinates extensive European Networks under programmes such as Horizon 2020, Erasmus+, Lifelong Learning Programme, Intelligent Energy Europe, EPEAEK, PAVE, LINGUA.
For further information about Doukas School Projects please visit:
http://bit.ly/Doukas_R-D_leaflet & http://www.en.doukas.gr/randd
In the context of research projects, Doukas School teachers and experts cooperate in order to express the user-needs of the school pupils or school educators. They also provide valuable feedback for the design of educational services, activities, software/applications etc. During the testing and validation stage, students and teachers in Doukas School evaluate the demonstrator, in order to provide feedback form the side of the actual end-user. Finally, the school participates actively in dissemination and quality assurance activities.
The project “Volunteens Researchers in…STEMLand” aimed to introduce STEM activities in the educational praxis by enhancing learning via Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) without theories and unnecessary terminology, and through analytical and problem-solving methods. At the same time, this project enabled the development of innovation skills, algorithmic & programming standards and team spirit demonstration. In parallel with language skills development, participants researched how STEM implementation may help everyday life and discovered how they can support in volunteering based actions. Teens as Researchers observed, designed and delivered questionnaires related to issues of the project and took interviews in order to triangulate the results of their research and evaluate their process.

The Students participating in this project had the opportunity to meet fellow mates from other European (Mediterranean) countries and communicate with them via e-mail or via instant messaging. They developed friendly relations with each other and shared details about their daily lives, traditions, cultures, perceptions, ideas, lifestyle.Establishing a common point of view of the past, students explored how the Mediterranean Sea is still the bridge between different cultures and religions.
All students developed their English language vocabulary and skills. They also developed their intercultural skills, exchanged ideas, gifts and postcards and also made use of a variety of resources in order to upload powerpoint presentations, documents, files and images about their countries on twinspace.
Last but not least students familiarised themselves with working in a virtual environment, identified and discussed the challenges they face living and working in them. The most important thing is that they made new friends and they gained insights from online school collaborations which will be valuable and worth remembering a life time.
eTwinning is a framework for schools to collaborate on the Internet with partner schools in other European countries.
It promotes school collaboration in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing support, tools and services to make it easy for schools to form short or long term partnerships in any subject area

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Action Research in School Education is the journal released within the
@AReTwinning / eTwinning featured group (founded in April 2022).
The goal of the @AReTwinning Group is to provide an online platform for eTwinners (i.e.,
researchers/early career researchers/ student teachers/ teachers/ teacher educators are working
at ITEs) who are interested in learning more about action research or conducting action research.
Members of the group have access to information about the theoretical framework of action
research and learning events on various topics of action research in school education. They are
encouraged to share and work together to put their action research proposals into action.
Our second online event within the group was an Autumn project fair. Group members
were able to share and present their good practice examples. The activity was organised on 21st of
November 2022, there were 50 participants to the event and this number of our journal is
dedicated to the presentations prepared by the invited experts.

37. Erasmus Accreditation is like a facility, a plus it’s
specifically for schools of all types and levels.
A school needs to receive the accreditation only
once in the seven years of the Programme
(2022-2027).
∙ To apply, educational institutions have to outline
their own strategy for long-term
internationalization and modernization by
presenting a European Development Plan (EDP)
or an Erasmus+ Plan.

WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?
38. FIRST YEAR OF ACCREDITATION IN MY SCHOOL
The objectives for the 15 months of the project
of our institution focus on increasing digital
skills, STEAM skills (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), anti-
bullying behavior of students and improving the
portfolio of methods and teaching aids,
increasing language skills and cultural, reflection
and self-reflection exercise on the classroom
activity of teachers involved in job-shadowing .
In first year 1.09.2021-30.11.2022, we realized:
20 students involved in group mobilities, 6 with
inclusion support;
4 accompanying teachers;
5 teachers in job-shadowing ;
1 teacher in course;
2 invited experts;
Action Research in School Education 38
39. HOW WE FOUND OUR PARTNERS?
Because as part of the accreditation we had
short-term mobility of the students, we
looked for schools that could host us and
meet our needs regarding digitization, STEAM
and anti-bullying, we looking for invited
experts and best courses.
I used the search for valuable and viable
partners
-eTwinning space;
-ESEP for courses;
-partners from other
Erasmus actions ( KA2);

An important activity for the participating teachers
was the hour of consultations and analysis of the
assisted activities together with the Bulgarian
teachers where they discussed educational
resources, digital applications, the curricula of the
two education systems, the methods of
assessment of secondary school students
centered on skills, the discussions with the school
management about the activities in the school,
projects, partnerships, the financing methods of
the school, the similarities and differences
between the two education systems. The
movement to realize the training flow was carried
out with a green means of transport to reduce the
carbon footprint and to raise the participants'
awareness of the importance of protecting the
environment.

48. Research and Valorization of the results
An important aspect of the accreditation action in
the educational institutions involved is research
for educational purposes and one of the
proposed objectives is the measurement of
STEAM skills and the identification of the factors
that determine the growth of these skills through
the European educational exchanges facilitated
by the eTwinning and Erasmus+ programs.
Research is conducted through observations,
questionnaires and other measurement methods
to see the growth of STEAM skills: critical
thinking, team-work, problem solving, creativity,
communication skills, intercultural skills etc.

Our future: beautiful,
sustainable, together
The United Nations has defined sustainable development as development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. It assumes that resources are finite and should therefore be used conservatively and
carefully to ensure that they are sufficient for future generations without diminishing the quality
of life today. A sustainable society must be socially responsible, focusing on environmental
protection and dynamic balance in human and natural systems..
Sustainability is
the ability to exist
and develop -
without depleting
natural resources
for the future.

How could the SELFIE tool
help our school to assess
where we stand with
learning in the digital age?
How can school improve
how it uses technology for
teaching and learning?
Does the school have a
vision for how it wants to
use technology and, if so,
do staff and students know
what it is?
