Project summary

The erasmus + TDMVEP project "Treatment of household waste and recovery: positive energy" is developed in the Portuguese and / or French language between 5 schools that try to help students with academic difficulties who show a negative view of the school. We intend through the implementation of project activities to promote the validation of most of the skills required at the end of compulsory schooling. The most common concerns are: - Knowledge of the other: individual presentation / group, presentation of city and activities - School environment: your current school / your ideal school - Leisure: sport, youth relations, music, dance - The typical dish: your favorite foods => The composition of a local festive menu - Imaginary: writing a short story, knowing the local folklore - The environment: Ideas on the preservation of the planet (sound messages, video spot promoting the trash connected, know the sorting sector, propose solutions to organic recycling) - New technologies: design of a connected waste bin and its management program - The practice of languages: design of an interactive guide to reinforce the Portuguese language level A2 - Contributing to the well-being of people with disabilities, children (primary school), to the comfort of the greatest number - Establish partnerships with cities, urban communities, the Maison des personnes handicapées (MDPH), CANOPE Guyane, GDI, DANE The five partner countries are Spain, Guyana, Portugal and Romania. During the 2 years, 8 learning, teaching and / or training activities (travel with students) are planned, ie 4 physical mobilities per year. The project involves 125 participants directly (20 students + 5 supervisors per institution) and 3000 indirectly. With this program, students will improve peer relationships, learn to respect and communicate with each other, use the language in a real situation. This method of learning focuses on the virtual and the physical, changes behavior and encourages students to excel and acquire skills that they perceive to be of immediate use.

Final report summary

The Erasmus+ project "Household waste treatment and recovery: positive energy" (TDMVEP), coordinated by the Paul KAPEL College, brought together four European partners (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Romania). The 5 partner establishments are interested in the topic of Household Waste Treatment in their territories as well as outside their borders and they want to propose sustainable solutions to reduce the impact of waste on the environment, through their enhancement. To do this, at the beginning of the project, the team of reference teachers from each partner country set "ambitious" objectives for the Planet, achievable at the level of every school and every home=> it has kept us at heart to involve the families of students. Thus, through school education, pupils have acquired skills from official programmes and then in workshops in each country (European section, language workshop, European opening workshop, EEDD workshop, etc.) the students carried out activities leading to concrete productions. It should be noted that due to the weather, technical, logistical and other hazards, we had to adapt our schedule and do according to the experience feedback of exchanges and mobility. As a result, some changes have been made to the actual output defined upstream in the framework of the calendar of activities. Most of the objectives set out in the "Project Summary at Application Stage" have been achieved and exceeded. The students wanted to show that by having more resources at their disposal they could unite around a citizen theme, sublime. The Erasmus+ project in the Budget section comprises 25 units, or 25 participants, and we have not been able to involve more people in the various Learning and Training Activities (AEF) because of the remoteness of Guyana from the European continent. Indirectly, through the 25 students directly involved in each country (125 students in total), we reached their families, institutions (local, regional, national, European, international), elected officials, educational authorities (rectorate, Ministry of National Education), environmental agencies (ADEME Guyana, DEAL, CACL, CTG, and other partners). The consultation of the entities made it possible to validate consistent actions. It is in this sense that the team of the five European schools proposes innovative measures aimed at helping pupils with school difficulties who show a negative vision of the school. By carrying out the project activities, the aim is to promote the validation of most of the skills required at the end of compulsory schooling. With regard to the knowledge, skills and culture base, the activities and final achievements contribute to the validation of the following items: - Knowledge of each other: discovering different cultures within Europe=> feeling of European identity; - School environment: timetable (timetable), school organisation (classroom, number of pupils, etc.), uniform=> school characteristics - Leisure: traditional sport, relations between young Europeans, folk music, dance=> European leisure activities - The typical dish: composition of a transnational festive menu (each delegation proposes a dish from the terroir)=> the expression of tastes - Imagination: knowing the local folklore (Dracula castle, visiting historic sites, etc.)=> building legends - The environment: formulating ideas on the preservation of the planet (video spot promoting the connected waste bin, knowing the sorting sector, proposing solutions for organic recycling), installing devices; (composter, henhouse, small soap factory, ecological garden, solidarity market, etc.) => Submission of proposals at climate events - New technologies: design of a connected waste bin and its management program=> object automation for autonomy; - Language Practice: A Written Conversation Guide for the Preparation of Physical Mobility=> Foreign Language Proficiency - Contribute to the well-being of people with disabilities, children (primary school), the comfort of the greatest number (presentation of the interactive garbage can by a person with a disability)=> integrate all students into the school project - Establish partnerships with cities, urban communities, Maison des personnes handicapées (MDPH), CANOPE Guyane network, GDI, DANE and other partners=> network weaving The benefits are numerous and reusable in the long term. Several institutions are seeking a partnership in order to benefit from our results.
