Our project aims to raise awareness and encourage pupil participation in managing the school building and grounds. To provide environmental tools to enhance quality of life.To assist families,pupils and schools with portfolio development and waste minimisation projects. To raise awareness of the need to reduce the amount of waste that we throw away and to encourage, at least the pupils of participating schools and those we are able to get involved in the project to encourage recycling of the waste and garbage . To get to know reasons for not recycling waste and garbage as well as tips for saving them at work, home and school. The biggest impact of project on society is to create environmental awareness.And this awareness is transferred to future generationsImplementation of the project will create awareness about the environment to the students, parents, teachers and staff as well as habits that will affect their lifetime achievements will be.Participants are accustomed to teamwork, recognized problems, and find solutions and use initiative.participants' profile consists of secondary school . The aim of the project is gaining environmental awareness at a young age, showed increased awareness and consciousness. to Increase environmental awareness will make the performed activities both fun and instructive.And this awareness is transferred to future generations.Implementation of the project will create awareness about the environment to the students, parents, teachers and staff as well as habits that will affect their lifetime achievements will be.Participants are accustomed to teamwork, recognized problems, and find solutions and use initiative.All participants' habits vary.The most tangible impact ,it will be observed changes in behavior of our students , our teachers , Local Government and all groups.ActivitiesDuring the whole activity we will visit the institutions where waste is divided and recycled. Before visitng these institutions, groups will be made comprised of teacher and students. In a group from every school one or two students will work together. Every group will make a plan concerning the visit, before the visit they will have gathered information about the recycling phases. And every group will at the end of the exercises prepare a presentation to the other partner groups with the information they have gathered. Every partner country will organize a logo contest amongst its students and select a winner. And on a evening organized by the host country.A quiz involving the topics recycling and environmental awareness will be organized. For this event from every partner country groups of three students and a jury comprised of four teachers will be formed. Questions will be prepared by this jury. Before the mobility every country in the quiz will be informed about specific topics, which they will be responsible for. To the winning group different gifts printed with the project’s logo will be awarded. Short stories about waist and recycling will be written by every partner country and evaluated by juries founded by the partner countries that will also decide on a winner. At the same time a jury chosen comprised of chosen teachers from every partner country will decide on the winners of the best story and the best printed brochure amongst the partner countries. With individuals, including different social economic groups, to measure the awaraness about evironmental problems and waste and the knowledge level for the interview preparations will be done.Therefore questions decided by school teams and teacher commissions from every partner country will be written in forms and with the questions of these forms interviews will done. The interviews will be recorded. The interviews done in each of the partner countries will be evaluated by commissions from every partner country. languages, as well as in the language of the project in a short length film.The most tangible impact ,it will be observed changes in behavior of our students , our teachers , Local Government and all groups. Impacts on teachers will be measured through questionnaires and surveys on specific topics,eg.We are seven partners in project::Sweden:Backegård school is a primary from grade F-6 school. We have 360 students.We especially focus on students' language development and enviroment. We are a certificated enviromentally school .Macedonia:It has got no experience:Our school is one of the bigest school in Macedonia where educational take 2400 students of the age between 14-18. We will be key person for this project, We are working several activites with students and sharing them with public institution.Italy:he team of people concerned in the project is a very well trained and motivared staff, which usually work together as our school is involved in different programs financed by EU funds.Poland:o this day several dozen of projects have been carried out.
The topic of our project is to reduce the amount of wastes in the environment and our schools and to investigate the causes of throwing so much garbage .And to raise awareness of the need to reduce the amount of wastes that we throw away and to provide to recycle or reuse the wastes. For this purpose, we started to prepare a project because we had wondered what other countries were doing in these issues. Some schools from Portugal, Poland, Italy, Macedonia and Sweden joined us to share their ideas for this project. The common feature of these schools was that they were either eco-schools or they had worked in the national or international areas before. Especially the Swedish school "Backegårdsskolane" had "environmental school certificate" in Gotheburg . In this project, we worked with students from 10-15 years old. At the beginning of the project, all partner countries formed their school's trash map and prepared surveys on the formation and collection of these garbage. The goal was to find answers to the questions about what kinds of trashes were accumulated in schools and how they were accumulated .And also to collect these garbage, separate and to provide to recycle them. For this reason, eco teams of students were established in the schools. As a result of the evaluation of the questionnaire, the team students regularly checked the classrooms and gave them some marks for the criterias that we determined before. As a result, the cleanest classes were selected and these students were rewarded. Thus , the amount of waste in the classroom was reduced and the clean environment awareness of the students was increased. The collected garbages were used for different purposes in different courses during two years, different designs were made. the products were exhibited to all the students of the school and to other schools. At the same time, different groups of teachers and students often visited the city's recycling centers and made some presentations about the recycling. Students interviewed with people of different ages and social groups and tried to understand people's level of consciousness on recycling. These interviews were evaluated and as a result, each country wrote a script to make a short-length film. Best screenplay was chosen at the meeting in Turkey and was filmed by every country for Swedish meeting. Also each school wrote short stories about recycling and the best story was awarded in Sweden. During two years, experts made informative presentations on recycling at schools. At the end of two years we noticed that the waste in the trash cans we put in to separate the garbage into different parts of the schools was seriously reduced and they were separated. In the interviews we made at the end of the project, the students and the parents said they separated all their garbages and reused some of them. In this way, we raised the environmental awareness of our students ,parents and teachers. Thus they realized the importance of separating the garbages.
