2 - What impact is the Partnership expected to have on the participants and other interested parties (on the pupils, teachers, institutions, local community, wider educational community)?
On Students and Teachers: Students will benefit by increased motivation for language learning as the official language for the project is English and, continuous, effective communication between the partners is required for the projects’ success. Increasing their abilities in communication skills (ICT).. . Give both boys and girls equal opportunity to research and be involved in the project. Increased social awareness and of the youngsters’ own worth in society and discover ways in which they can actively influence people and institutions, which will give them greater confidence in all aspects of their lives, and as a consequence help them to feel happier and more confident when dealing with their counterparts in the partnership. The confidence that being involved with an issue that directly relates to their age group, and that will enable them to promote safer, more positive tourism, should help them in their future projects at school and university To help the students be more aware of their own powers of refusal and persuasion against unacceptable behaviour, they should discover effective ways that will warn possible offenders of what they risk and what is morally acceptable, and what is not.. Give the youngsters an understanding of how very important tourism is to the European Economy. Having a better understanding of the daily life of people who may live in distressing situations on a daily basis in the other parts of the world and how they cope psychologically with it. Using their education and art in communicating and promoting a message on a national and international stage.
The teachers will also benefit by adding to their knowledge of other educational systems during the exchanges and improving the education systems in their own countries as a result of their contact with the partners and students. The language of the teachers will also be improved by the practical use of English and French as a second language, a chance they may not otherwise have.
On communities linked with the school:
The communities linked with the school will gain by having information to hand that affects the lives of the people in the community. They will be more aware of the problem and be able to recognise the signs quicker and know what to do, whom to go to for help, to report a case of abuse to or to give advice to a victim about where to go for help.
All staff and students involved will benefit from the information that will be gained by research that will show the actual extent of the problem and encourage everyone to be more aware of the needs of those affected. Parents and local people could be invited to a conference giving an outline of what the youngsters are going to do and to ask any questions about the project. This can alleviate social problems for the youngsters who are conducting researches in local areas.
Local communities can be encouraged to take part in the activities of the youngsters and be visited by them to explain what they are doing and why and to ask for any ideas from community members of how else they could help. Perhaps older people who have spare time could work with the youngsters and in doing so strengthen the bonds of community and dialogue between the generations. The experiences and memories of the older generation may help youngsters to see the differences between the how the problem is today and how things were in the past. 
On local and territory communities:
The teams working on this project will make it easier for people who are suffering to be recognised and helped with compassion and sympathy. Increased contact with various bodies in the communities will enable the awareness of the problem to be heightened and active intervention encouraged. The interest of the youngsters in their communities may create a widening ripple through out the neighbourhoods as the residents get to know the young people and appreciate their concern.
On the tourism industry in areas concerned: According to the investigations of the WTO, (World Tourism Organization), and ECPAT (Protection of Children Against Sexual Abuse in Tourism), child abuse and pornography has the third highest crime rate in the world after gun running and illegal drugs and a lot of this abuse happens in large hotels in the biggest tourist capitals around the world. If this kind of trade can be taken out of the hotels then the standard of the hotels will go up and increase their appeal for more family tourism and create a better atmosphere for youngsters who may be on holiday on staying alone in hotels. The WTO may be open to awarding a code of conduct reference, which will affect their star rating and promote hotels as being protectors of children. Others may be encouraged to change their policies about allowing this kind of trade in their hotels in order to receive the award and increase their star rating. Representatives from the organizations below participated in the preparatory visit and have said that they will support us in our researches and assist and advise.
- "United Nations World Tourism Organization" (UNWTO),- "United Federation of Travel Agents Associations" (UFTAA),- "End Child prostitution, child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes" (ECPAT)- "Skal Club International,- French Federation of Technicians and Scientists in Tourism (FFTST)
This will be a good opportunity for students to discover how these international organizations work. It could be suggested to the WTO that they ask guests to report if they see or suspect any child abuse that is happening in the hotels. This could be an anonymous report that can be put inside each room when the guests arrive..


          3–How do you intend to evaluate the progress of the Partnership and its impact on the participating pupils and teachers, the participating institutions and, where relevant, on the local community?
        The success and impact of the project will be closely monitored and evaluated on an on-going basis.  This will involve the students and teachers in the assessment of the quality of the interactive and collaborative activities and work produced by each partner which will hold their own school meetings to evaluate their individual progress and then communicate to the co-ordinator who will in turn report to the agencies involved At the commencement of the project, each student will complete an individual action plan that sets targets and deadlines.  This action plan will reflect the student’s age, special educational needs and personal circumstances.
        A further questionnaire will be presented at the beginning of the project, which will be anonymous, concerning the experiences of students, teachers, trainee teachers, local authorities and this will be repeated in the middle of the project to see how things are going, and again at the end of the project to assess to what extent the awareness has been raised since the beginning of the project and another for the legal representatives, police and local authorities, both at the start and at the end of the project, to see whether there has been any fall in child abuse in the local area since the project started and how much, of that fall can be attributed to the influence of the project. There can be a kickback for further research, which can be done by a worldwide organization and used as an ongoing project research subject. Statistics taken from those questionnaires can be entered onto the web site and used as an information source.
       

 4-How do you intend to disseminate and use the results, experience and end products amongst the participating institutions, other institutions and the local community?   
        Dissemination of results at participating schools through
·          School websites
·          School publications: posters, newspapers, newsletters
·          Conferences showing students’ work and results.
        The results will be disseminated regionally through:
·          Articles in the regional media
·          Television broadcasts through local and national channels of the short film DVD.
·          Information exchange with local organisations
·          Teacher training institutions
·          Regular exchange with partner institutions
·          Visits to schools and cultural centres regionally to present the play showing the fight against abuse.
·          The website will provide global dissemination, which will allow everyone to view the student’s work.
·          The end product will be greater understanding and awareness of the youngsters to the social problems in their communities and on the grander scale of the European Community. The publishing of a website and also the possible solution of preventing child abuse websites in general by creating a standard symbol which shows that the content has been filtered which will be presented to the European commission for review.
·          The discovery of how the law deals with the subject of child abuse and what could be done to improve it and the general publics’ understanding of its victims and make possible recommendations to the European Assembly.
·          A short film and play that can be distributed and performed throughout the country and perhaps even be entered into the international short films festival, to create a wide area of exposure to the project. This could also be used in cinemas and Internet cafes as a warning to deter possible offenders.
·          A documentary DVD can be produced showing various people in the street reacting to questions about the subject and how they think it could be solved and what type of punishment should be given for crimes involving sexual child abuse in tourism which can be shown in schools in the country and on television to heighten awareness.
·          Questionnaires results will be published on the website as a source of information.
·          Recommending solutions, to the problems that seem to be at the root of the sale of children. If poverty is the cause, maybe recommendations could be made to aid agencies, for example: encouraging a co-operative of small businesses in local areas which have been found to be particularly vulnerable to this kind of trade and encourage the families to send the children to school and have them work in the co-operative in the afternoons to help support the family instead of being sold for sexual purposes. This can help the youngsters realize that alternatives can be found and dead ends don’t always have to be. Encourage the students to participate in the fight against the trafficking of children, which will raise their awareness to the realisation that the fight against child abuse is only the natural consequence of working on the project.
·          To set up a fact-finding file for each of our countries with regard to the importance of the phenomenon, and finding the means of fighting it and disseminating the information through the web site.
·          Encourage all countries to have an active trained police force with psychologists, both men and women to offer equal opportunities to both to enable them to deal on an equal base with boys and girls. Setting up police child centres to where children can escape and be protected until they can be relocated to a safe house.        Set up a register of places that are considered safe houses, addresses of which they can distribute through the web site and through child help agencies. Encourage the local authorities to set up a free child help line so that children can call for help any time free of charge. Produce; leaflets, letters, power points presenting the subject to other schools depending on the regions cultural acceptance and arrange seminars to schools throughout the region. Contributions about the effect of the project and how it has or hasn’t affected their awareness and what they want to do to change the situation from the youngsters and staff to be published on a common website will be invited and recorded and made available for statistics and possible recommendations for change. Exhibitions and display work in schools; organization of conferences in relevant public places in the local area community will be arranged. Prepare a short film to be shown on all networks to encourage local and international awareness, maybe entering a short film into the international Short Film Festival, which would give maximum coverage of the topic. There could be kick-on effect worldwide organisations, from the film and leaflets.
·          A website, documents, a CD ROM or DVD to disseminate the information to other schools.
·          Design a toy that shows child abuse, which could then be manufactured by ECPAT or UNICEF or other child Aid Agencies and distributed throughout schools and welfare centres internationally.
·          Make suggestions concerning a practical use of legislation.
·         To study the possibility of a European Label which would reward the professional, who has worked in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children and teenagers. To study any possibility of fighting through the participating establishments via Internet sites, international petitions, collection of funds
5-Please describe the role and tasks of all institutions involved in the Partnership.
       Activities involved will be in three main areas: Heightening awareness of child abuse.  
        The youngsters will be encouraged to carry out an information search into how the particular country is involved and what is already being done by contacting associations and organizations that are already involved, and discussing with them which areas they are concentrating on and what we may do in order to assist them.
·          Look for alternatives to solve the problems that are causing the parents of children to sell them and alternative deterrents to child abusers.
·          Discuss with the local police force about what their policies are and what actions are taken to protect children. How much is organised crime involved with the abuse of children and what are the statistics concerning the problem? How do they feel about it and what should be done about it. What is their gut reaction to this kind of abuse Asking what things the police would like to see changed to make their job more effective. The co-operation of local police forces could be requested or applications made through the educational authorities in the various countries.
·          Discuss with the lawyers associations about the current laws and whether there could be changes promoted. Contact Judges and ask what influences their decisions and what punishments can be handed out to child abusers, and how the people in punishment institutions react to child abusers.
        Better understanding of activities of the children’s institutions in the territories.
·          Students to be invited to get in touch with the professionals in charge of the institutions to make sure that there are proper controls and checks on the staff that run and work in these safe houses and institutions.
·          Make a questionnaire to ask local people about their thoughts on the subject and what they think should be done or how they should be improved.
        Research into what can be produced to present the problem to the public:
·        Research what would be effective for the students to A competition could be held in which special needs youngsters can actively participate on an equal basis to design posters, leaflets and toys. Special needs children can communicate the problem through art to younger children The permission of the parents should be obtained by first holding a meeting with parents to discuss the importance of younger children being informed.
·          Prepare a short film to be shown on all networks to encourage local and international awareness, maybe entering a short film into the international Short Film Competition. There would be a kick-on effect worldwide with worldwide organisations, from the film and leaflets.
·          A website, documents, a CD ROM or DVD to disseminate the information to other schools.
·          Design a toy that shows child abuse.
·          Making a practical use of legislation.
·          To study the possibility of a European Label which would reward the professional, who has worked in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children and teenagers.
·          To study any possibility of fighting through the participating establishments via Internet sites, international petitions, collection of funds
·          . This will also be a good chance for the youngsters to produce something internationally, together with their partners, as their first theatrical production giving them an invaluable experience in the world of theatre and film. 
·          The partners will produce a presentation/report to the European assembly/commission, requesting the setting up of a European label for hotels and websites, which show that they support prevention of child sex tourism.

 6 – How will effective communication and cooperation between the participating institutions be ensured?
Specific role of the schools involves the collaboration of students and teachers working together through international contact and balanced involvement will be sought after.
Teachers and students to communicate information and to produce the final products will use ICT.
The co-ordinator institution will guarantee the information exchange between the partners and co-ordinate the different activities, organise working groups and moderate the assemblies of the groups.
The local authorities, national organisations and world organisations operating from within the partner institutions’ country, legal bodies and child protection groups will be requested to assist and advise the schools in any way which may benefit the project.
The information will be disseminated through a video, presentations and conferences, television and media, DVD possibly supplied to cinemas to provide a warning.
The exchange of information and the development of contacts and friendships will be achieved by all means but primarily through e-mails and other on-line activities. Most of the work will be in the form of CDs and DVD, which will make it easier to share information.
The principal out come of the project will be the website for the dissemination of information and statistics on the subject, to be available world wide, a design for a toy showing abuse, and leaflets or posters and a DVD of a short film concerning the subject of child abuse.
       

7 - Active involvement of pupils and/or staff
This project will involve the following activities:
        Students will be invited to join a commission alongside the teachers’ commission that is already structured and to be involved in the planning of the project through the participation in the working meetings, the production of materials, such as questionnaires, surveys, and evaluation forms as well as being requested to produce their own plan of action for the duration of their participation in the project and report their part in the collective actions. To make easier contact with other students in partner institutions in the project, with the assistance of teachers, the youngsters can produce their own profiles about themselves and enter them onto the ongoing web site. A questionnaire will be presented at the beginning of the project, which will be anonymous, concerning the experiences of students, teachers, trainee teachers, local authorities and this will be repeated in the middle of the project to see how things are going, and again at the end of the project to assess to what extent the awareness has been raised since the beginning of the project and another for the legal representatives, police and local authorities, both at the start and at the end of the project, to see whether there has been any fall in child abuse in the local area since the project started and how much, of that fall can be attributed to the influence of the project. There can be a kickback for further research, which can be done by a worldwide organization and used as an ongoing project research subject. Statistics taken from those questionnaires can be entered onto the web site and used as an information source Twice yearly progress meetings will be held,  for planning and review of the project, attended by the youngsters and staff involved .
        Most activities will be held either in the classroom or in ICT rooms but will also involve activities in the local and regional community.  Students will research and create texts or posters to disseminate the information, and teachers will help them.
 
        8-Integration of the Partnership into the curriculum and/or ongoing activities
·          The project will be integrated into a range of academic subjects across the curriculum according to topics and main thematic areas specified on part A of this form. The integration of the partnership into the curriculum will be easy because each partner has the subject that they will be involved with most on their curriculum and the project will be integrated at the beginning of the project for the school curriculum for two years. Frequent communication between the students and teachers of all partner institutions will ensure co-ordination and co-operation of tasks.  For example, the action plans of students will be sent to the other schools in the official language, which will encourage language learning. All partners will be in touch continuously as criteria chosen must be the same in all participating countries.
·           The co-ordinator will verify that everyone is working with the same criteria. Contributions of information from the youngsters and staff to be published on a common website will be invited and recorded as part of the curriculum work for computer studies plus radio and television section studies.
·           Preparation of the play involving writing, practicing and performing can be included in the curriculum under the arts, drama and literature section plus the languages department for a translation into English and the television and radio department.
·          Exhibitions and display work in schools; organization of conferences in relevant public places in the local area community will be arranged under curricular activities for the art departments.
·          Production and conduction of questionnaires regarding the public feeling towards child abuse and how to prevent it can be included on the curriculum in social studies.
·          Principal know how to be developed in this project are those concerned with ICT.
9 - If your Partnership concerns intercultural dialogue, please explain how you will address this theme.
        The Public concerned
The principal target group for this project will be students aged between 13 and 18 years, but it will have potential benefits for much wider age groups.
