This document outlines the plans for a collaborative project between schools in seven European countries focused on documenting each country's transition from totalitarianism to democracy. The participating schools will research and create documentaries on topics like exile, uprisings, repression, influential figures, key events, and the path to the EU. They will share their work through digital platforms like Facebook, YouTube, blogs, and websites. The schools will take turns hosting visits where they will share their documentaries and historical sites. Responsibilities for maintaining the digital platforms and hosting visits are assigned to individual schools.

PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
The
current
project
joins
the
historical
experience
of
seven
countries
in
different
areas
of
Europe,
which
have
suffered
a
long
period
of
totalitarianism
and
have
found
their
way
towards
democracy.
Our
aim
is
to
explore
the
differences
and
similarities
between
each
nation's
process
towards
the
final
point
of
democracy.
We
intend
to
do
research
on
seven
different
topics:
exile,
uprising,
repressive
methods,
famous
people,
key
events,
feedbacks
and
our
way
to
the
EU
producing
various
documentaries
which
will
be
published
on
different
platforms
of
Media
on
the
Internet
(blog,
Facebook,
Youtube
group,
Slideshare
/
Powerpoint
and
group`Website)
giving
international
context
to
the
key
events
in
Our
Way
to
Freedom.
During
our
educational
visits
to
our
partners'
schools,
we
will
not
only
visit
the
places
of
historical
importance
but
also
have
the
workshops
on
the
selected
topics,
exchange
and
evaluate
the
results.
TASK
DISTRIBUTION
We
have
assigned
each
current
member
a
direct
responsibility
to
create
and
run
different
digital
tools
and/or
duties:
Lithuania

create
&
coordinate
the
International
Facebook
group.
Several
surveys
will
be
created
and
their
results
filtered,
such
as
the
creation
of
a
common
logo
for
the
project,
the
best
blog
entry
for
students,
the
best
leisure
&
professional
picture
taken
in
each
rotation
&
the
best
documentary
produced.
Spain
will
be
in
charge
of
creating
&
running
a
Youtube
channel
where
all
the
documentaries
from
the
different
countries
will
be
placed
and,
Also,
there
will
be
a
selection
of
video
shots
&
sequences
to
produce
short
movie
trailers
to
foster
&
advertise
the
project
&
the
different
common
topics.

2. Poland

of
the

the
project

Croatia
will
lead
for
the
creation
of
a
common
Website
where
all
the
teams
will
work
together
for
a
common
creation
of
historical
events.
This
data
will
be
a
short
encyclopedia
where
all
the
important
terms
or
events
presented
in
each
documentary
will
be
integrated.
Estonia
will
closely
cooperate
with
Croatia
in
producing

VISITING
PROCESS
AGREEMENT:
1) All
teams
agreed
on
covering
the
transportation
of
the
other
teams
when
hosting
the
rotational
visit.
To
see
a
practical
example,
this
means
that
the
first
visit
to
Spain
means
that
each
team
will
pay
for
their
6
tickets
from
their
country
to
Barcelona
airport.
Once
we
are
there,
the
transportation
will
be
covered
both
ways
to
Vilassar
de
Mar
and
Barcelona
airport.
2) Each
hosting
team,
as
soon
as
possible
and
always
before
seeking
airplane
tickets,
would
provide
information
about
airliners
and
flight
combinations
if
possible,
to
see
if
there
are
similar
flying
dates
from
each
country.
3) Once
each
visit
program
is
ready,
this
will
be
posted
in
the
Moodle
platform.
4) Accommodation
and
3-­‐meal
(breakfast,
lunch
and
dinner)
expenses
are
also
covered
by
the
hosting
team
in
each
country.
