The project "HELP THE EARTH: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE" was conceived with the idea of creating a motivating and challenging enterprise with reference to all students. It is alternative to traditional ways of learning. The participant schools want to emphasize not only the idea of global thinking and acting, but also the necessity of taking responsibility and care for our planet. The project is addressed to students of different age groups and aims to raise awareness of global climate and environment changes. It will show people of all ages that initiatives in favour of Earth, saving energy or waste management are simple actions and at the same time big issues important for the generations to come. Environment protection and support include a wide range of activities and aspects that can be implemented in everyday life of every human in each country. With this project the partnership intends to develop a sense of responsibility and raise people's awareness of their own influence on the natural environment. Therefore, by means of this project all partner schools want to engage school communities into recycling actions beyond school area, waste management in schools and at homes. The project offers activities to reach all types of students regardless of their knowledge, skills or attitude, for example: designing the logo, making the mock-up cities of reusable materials, cleaning up the surroundings, recycling different materials or planting trees and gardens. The project aims at developing basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, general understanding and logical thinking inserting CLIL methodology along with the use of ICT tools. These activities are supposed to help the students enlarge their visions of the world by sharing experience of other cultures. The intention of the project is to promote the professional development of teachers through the improvement of their English and digital literacy. By means of the project teachers' communicative competence in English of all participating schools will improve and they will be able to come up with innovative methodological aspects (for example cooperative group work, communication, tasks) and implementing them into teaching. This project seems to be a perfect way for teachers to improve teaching skills, give them more ways to motivate their pupils, bring them closer to other cultures, customs and history, and give them a natural way to use their English language skills. Finally, it is to motivate the school community to establish ties and bonds with people from other countries.
The project basically aims the participating educational communities take responsibility for the care of our planet and to involve families and people in their environment maximizing the impact. The project is aimed at students of different age groups and undertakes actions or tasks aimed at energy saving, waste management, protection and support of the environment or awareness of the importance of caring for the planet. We try to make the students give importance to the small ecological acts that start from each one and in this way develop a sense of responsibility and raise awareness about their own influence on the natural environment. The project offers activities to reach all types of students, regardless of their knowledge, skills or attitude, for example: design the logo, make cities model reusable materials, clean the environment, recycle different materials or plant trees and gardens. Our project develops basic reading, writing, oral expression, general understanding and logical thinking skills, inserting the CLIL methodology together with the use of ICT tools. These activities help students broaden their view of the world by sharing experience from other cultures. The project also promotes the professional development of teachers through the improvement of their English and digital literacy. Teachers pose innovative methodologies (eg cooperative group work, communication, tasks). Finally, the school community is encouraged to establish links and links with people from other countries.
