ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITIES

Description

"All the delegations involved consider that the fundamental bases of the project are: -the agreement of the European Commission ""Framework on climate and energy for 2030"" and -the universal value of Cultural Heritage manifested in European landscapes, flora and fauna and their protection, through Environmental Education. It is innovative in establishing a curricular integration strategy of Environmental Education that will allow educational communities to contribute collectively to achieve the fundamental objectives of the European Commission.The Cultural Heritage has a universal value for us. It is important to preserve it and to transmit it to future generations. We must encourage our educational communities to discover and commit themselves to the natural heritage by reinforcing the feeling of belonging to a common European area.The exchange of good practices among the different delegations participating in the project clearly justifies their transnational nature and their financing.We set ourselves as the first objective to know the different lines of intervention that Environmental Education develops, as well as the knowledge of our Natural Spaces as universal values ​​of the European Cultural Heritage. Paying special attention to the ""Natura 2000 Network"" natural spaces constitute a network of biodiversity conservation areas in the European Union where we will find Special Conservation Areas.As a second objective of the project we set out to raise awareness in our educational communities of the need to acquire a perception and an attitude about energy that is more in solidarity with the environment, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and betting on energy savings, energy efficiency and sources of energy (renewable energy).And finally, we set out as a specific objective the performance of communication, training and environmental education actions to raise awareness about the treatment of waste and its recycling, focusing especially on the problem of plastics.Through the environmental commissions, we will learn how the schools promote attitudes to allow the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions while respecting the environment. These comissions will also carry out research work where they will search, generate and process information about waste and its recycling in educational communities.Plastics will have a special treatment and campaigns to raise awareness and disseminate the problem will take place.All the works, proposals and results obtained will be shared through eTwinning, which will be used periodically / regularly, as well as the preparation of mobilities and their development.96 high school students from 12 to 15 years old will be directly involved in the mobilities. Indirectly, a total of 200 students will be part of some of the programmed activities.There will be about 80 teachers implicated and 48 mobilities programmed including short-term mobilities and the training for participants in France.In addition, the ErasmusPlus teams that will develop the program in the five different delegationsThe eTwinning platform will be fundamental due to the collaborative and digital nature of the project. Each project delegation will appoint a Twinning commission responsible of the management of the platform.The first block of activities will be based on the presentation and organization of teams.In a second block of activities we will focus on activities that will help the achievement of the specific project objectives. These will have a collaborative nature where respect and tolerance prevail.With the development of the project:- Students will acquire a more supportive and respectful conscience with the environment being more committed citizens and they will even have a greater awareness of belonging to Europe.- Teachers will enrich their methodological resources thanks to good shared practices. They will acquire a more global vision of the development of Environmental Education so that educational programs will be enriched.The impact will be reflected in the annual evaluation reports that will serve as proposals for improving educational schedules.It will contribute in a very significant way to the modernization and internationalization of the schools and also to create future collaborative networks.Thanks to the research carried out, the schols and households will improve their energy efficiency.In short, ours is a project that will directly benefit our environment and hence European society, in the short, medium and long term. This will be accomplished by working Environmental Education and knowing our Cultural Heritage. Education will serve as the key to open the world of awareness and possible changes, since “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela)."
