Erasmus+ project "My Everest Your Molehill" evaluation. A selection of the students' comments on the question: Which aspects of the project/meeting were most difficult for you?
Teachers at a school shared the positive impacts of a project involving meetings and experience sharing with Belgian colleagues. Some impacts included implementing outdoor activities and free learning explored in other schools. The project helped complete inadequacies in teaching areas and provided new ideas that could be adapted to their reality. Students who participated learned about life and school in other European countries and some teachers tried techniques like free learning in their own lessons.
This document summarizes a student's experience participating in a Comenius project where they traveled to Italy for a week to work on a group project and stay with a host family. The student describes meeting their Italian partner Eleonora and her friend Giada, and having some difficulties communicating at first in English but getting better each day. They went to school during the trip to work on the project and also took trips outside of school, finding the experience tiring but worthwhile. Overall, the student found using English, meeting new people, and flying to Italy as the best parts, and that participating in the project was a great experience that helped improve their communication skills.
A Comenius project provided a great experience for the author by allowing them to improve their English skills through researching a topic, translating information, and creating a presentation with students from other countries including Poland, Luxembourg, Italy and Sweden. The long effort required was rewarding, as the author was able to meet new people and make friends across cultures that they have maintained contact with, which was the best outcome of the project.
Students from several European countries, including Poland, Turkey, Italy, and Czech Republic, participated in a Comenius exchange project where they attended workshops on careers and jobs. The narrator hosted a student from Italy and later visited Turkey as part of continuing work on a joint tourism company project, where their Polish group was awarded best company. The narrator enjoyed getting to know new friends through Comenius and learning useful information, and plans to participate in future years due to the valuable experience.
Lukas was persuaded by his classmate Kuba to join a Comenius project at their school. As part of the project, they had homework assignments from their teacher including making posters, brochures, and participating in a theatre performance at a preschool. They also took a trip to Turkey where they had to research and write about their own and Turkish cultures. While some tasks like the graphic design work were enjoyable, researching online for the culture assignment was boring. Lukas is looking forward to the final promotion task for the project and is grateful for the experience and improvement to his English.
This project was funded by the European Commission and involved students from Italy, Turkey, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The goal was for students to experience other cultures, practice English, and work together on projects.
The narrator initially did not want to participate due to weak English skills, but decided to host two Italian students to get experience. They worked on projects together, including designing a logo and learning about each other's cultures and history.
The narrator then attended a meeting in Poland where they practiced job interviews and experienced Polish culture. They had fun traveling by train and learning about the city of Lublin. The narrator's English and cultural understanding improved through participating in the Comenius project.

eTwinning is an online community for schools in Europe that aims to encourage collaboration between schools. It provides infrastructure like online tools to help teachers form partnerships and develop curriculum-focused projects with other schools. While ICT skills are not required, eTwinning offers training and support. Benefits include providing an easy network of schools, integrating with different subjects, and helping students improve skills like confidence. Teachers are advised to introduce eTwinning to their students and parents, design simple initial projects, and give projects an international dimension. Students are encouraged to use eTwinning's secure social network TwinSpace to safely communicate, learn languages, and extend their learning beyond their borders.
Collaborative work about how we planned the first project involved in the Comenius project about the minority languages in Europe. It also deals with the social network involved in the social part of the project.
Telecollaborative exchange involves groups of students engaging in online intercultural interaction and collaboration with partner classes from other cultures or locations, guided by educators. Effective tasks go beyond superficial exchanges, instead providing opportunities for genuine collaboration, such as jointly creating presentations. Tasks should also introduce intercultural interaction gradually and provide opportunities for reflection on the online interaction.
Supporting Langua-technocultural Competence through Virtual ExchangeShannon Sauro
Virtual exchange, a teaching practice that incorporates online communication technologies to link remotely located partner classes for interaction and collaboration, is a rich site for fostering second language development, intercultural competence, and digital skills (EVALUATE report, 2019). A crucial component in virtual exchange is the role of the teacher as a pedagogical mentor to support students’ learning during these rich and often complex intercultural projects (O’Dowd, Sauro & Spector-Cohen, under review) where the continually shifting nature of communication technologies mediates the linguistic and cultural competences demanded of learners, also referred to as langua-technocultural competence (Sauro & Chapelle, 2017).
Accordingly, in this paper, we explore how pedagogical mentoring during a three-country virtual exchange for foreign language teacher candidates supported the langua-technocultural competence of participants by examining three incidents illustrative of the following themes: (1) resolving conflict around the selection of digital communication tools whose use and accessibility varied in the respective partner countries, (2) disambiguating the different culturally-situated meanings ascribed to emojis, (3) fostering awareness of different cultural norms regarding code-switching.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
