Environment 4 Future

Description

"Ernest Hemingway wrote many years ago:"" The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for"". The UN has set up 17 goals to detain a healthy world in 2030, both for humanity and Mother Earth. The sustainable goals are set for all the citizens of this world, either they are poor, rich or average income, and climate change is not an issue only for the poor or the rich but for all the people all around the world. Climate change does not have any borders. Our aim by creating this project is to reach out to more people around Europe and Turkey. It is our duty to spread our knowledge and experiences about the goals that need to be reached in 2030. The motivation for applying for this project is because we want to develop one of the most important issues in Europe and for that matter, all around the world. The European Union has, together with the European countries already made some changes that benefit the environment, however more need to be done for a global climate change. Moreover, do we need to shed light on how different countries work with environmental issues and focus on new ideas on how to make ecological changes in our daily life routines. All participating countries are facing the same climate changes and the difficulties to make an impact in changing the way of our lifestyles. Many people around the globe are making changes but we need to do more and who are the ones we can reach out to? Our students, who are the future and they will also have children who will live on this earth. We are living on the same earth but in different countries with different cultures and traditions. This should not make any difference but it does and we want to learn from each other by sharing ideas and reflections between our partners. To participate in a project is an opportunity for the students because they will be able to tackle the challenges they will meet in the future together with students in Europe and Turkey. Our aim is to have the students compare and share ideas and experiences in the way to handle environmental issues. Also, we want our students to share ideas with other countries all around Europe and the world and hopefully, can the politicians find solutions for the issues. We believe we can not solve environmental issues alone but together as a united European nation together with other countries. We have planned, both in school and international perspectives through learning, teaching and training activities. Our aim is to develop our students' science skills and try different learning methods to inspire their interest in nature in more effective teaching methods, strengthing interdisciplinary methods, supporting problem-solving discoverer. The students will gain long-lasting ecological habits. They will learn more about how to appreciate nature, behave as a European or even a global eco-citizen and try to make a smaller ecological footprint on Mother Earth. Moreover, will students and teachers develop themselves; interact in discussions, share information with previous information and use the knowledge they gained thanks to our project. Teachers will develop problem-solving, develop creative thinking, communication skills in a foreign language, develop ICT skills and prefer practice to theory. Families will begin to use eco-friendly products and protect the ecological balance, prefer less consumption and gain awareness to protect our planet. The activities that we have planned will lead are a mix of different activities that will end up in a final product, an e-magazine. We are aiming for development between participating countries and their different ways of working for a better environment. We see that students are aware of climate change and what is done about it, but when they travel to different countries do they see different ways of dealing with environmental issues.The following subjects will be focused during each LTT: 1-Sustainability in society2. Investigations and comparisons of carbon footprints and water usage in different countries3. Surveys and investigations on transportation and environmental impact4. Comparison of energy use.5. Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.6. How to eat well- and save the planet!We will have these activities during each LTT:*Presentation on each topic/ students will prepare material for a video and make an ad or news broadcast*Discussions in groups on the topic*Questionnaire on the topic*Guest speaker *Workshop Creativity -writing an article/vlog/video *Workshops on the topic*Trip to a local museum / Company / Institution *Trip to a cultural site (e.g UNESCO )* Cultural evening -with students, teachers, and parents. Local food made by parents.*Presentation on similarities between participating countries and the host. Each country will prepare information on the customs, traditions, and culture of another partner. The aim is to have the students to gain more knowledge about the participating countries. * Team building activities."
