Project summary

This is because students are showing a lack of motivation to enter apprenticeships, and thus acquire the basic skills (reading, writing, mathematics, science), we had the idea to offer them an innovative approach. This is to give students an active role in learning.The approach is that of the investigative approach that gives the opportunity for students to occupy a role of researcher, conducting investigations. During the sessions conducted, students will shoot different phases: the question, investigation conducted (in the various partner countries), the answer to the question in the form of a report. They offer more, an evaluation at the end of each session. The video, made by the various partner schools will be mounted, and give rise to a digital educational resource used by other classes, and available on different websites: Etwinning, the website of the project, the site of recovery / dissemination of the committee European and some tablets that can be loaned from the partner schools to schools wishing to test the product in classes that have no Internet connection.The participating schools were chosen strategically. The goal was to provide a range of different environments: at the foot of the mountains, not far from a village, a city, an industrial zone, north, south or east of the European Union.Students will conduct their investigations in collaboration with associations that monitor the air quality, others to protect forests, and others responsible for protecting marine life, farmers, volcano centers. They will conduct experiments and build a mini greenhouse and a mini weather station.
