This project VERT is a cross and multi-disciplinary project, allowing students of Romania, Poland, Bulgarie, Italie, Greece, Portugal and Spain to work on different domains of competence as inscribed in the referential of basic and key European skills, integrating learning based on problem-solving and encouraging an innovative teaching approach in the world of new technologies. The expected productions, in relation to digital technology and artistic and visual education, will favor the use of innovative mediums of communication and expression. This project should lead students to become aware of the consequences of human activities on climate if neither governmental bodies nor individual citizens act quickly. It will allow students, through a cross-disciplinary project, to reflect on climate change: causes, effects, ways of reducing greenhouse gases, and how to adapt individually. Helping the students see this issue through a global lens is essential because climate change affects and impacts the entire world. The partnership with other European countries will allow students to put into perspective the consequences of climate change as a function of their geographic location and national and European environmental policies. By exploring a very actual area, concerning us all which is CLIMATE CHANGE, the project VERT propose to teachers reflection and exchange of practice on methodology of using and type of activity to establish in order to develop to their students the basic skills, paying serious attention to the science skills. Our common challenge as a partner school in this project is to improve our science teaching methodologies and to increase students' motivation for studying science. Our project puts forward a pedagogy based on questioning, documentary study, experimentation and debate and it will allow the passage of a teaching that privileges a transmissive mode to a teaching whose approach privileges a questionning of the pupils on the real world( observation, investigation, action).Teaching will be based on the experiences and the experience of the participants The aim of this project is not to write a list of recommendations. Rather, this project’s goals are to allow students to become cognizant of, on a local and then European scale, the evolution of their environment during a period of 200 years (1915/2115) and to envision the future according to various scenarios: an optimistic scenario with a 2°C increase in temperature and a pessimistic one with a 5°C increase in temperature. The collaboration among several European schools will enable the students to take into consideration the different climates and environments and the diverse environmental policies, with the aim still being to share and analyse the collected data. This project will be a trip through time, based on recorded past and present scientific data and predictive future data. These investigations and analyses will be presented on both written and visual mediums, including drawings and pictures (postcards, videos, digital photos, documentaries…).
The VERT project was an interdisciplinary project, which allowed students from Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Portugal to work on different areas of key European competences, especially on scientific skills, integrating a learning based on the resolution of problems and encouraging an innovative approach to teaching in the world of new technologies. The activities of our project aimed at a multi-disciplinary approach on the theme of global warming, connecting all fields of learning, in particular sciences, geography, history and civic education to make students understand the phenomena climate change and make them aware of the consequences of their behavior on them. Our students were involved in a process of investigation, analysis, experimentation, observation and documentary research on the theme of the project - climate change and its consequences on the life of the Earth, thus creating the conditions of a correct decision-making of our students, the future adult decision makers, on the steps and the solutions to fight against this problem which threatens our life. At the same time, by exploring an area of news that concerns us all - CLIMATE CHANGE, the VERT project offered teachers a reflection and exchange of practices on the methodology to be used and the type of activities to be implemented. to develop basic skills in their students, with particular emphasis on science skills. The common challenges of the partner institutions in this project have been to improve their science teaching methodology, to increase students' motivation for studying science, and to help students address this topic at the European level because that climate change affects the whole world. The project has put forward a pedagogy based on questioning, documentary study, experimentation and debate and it has allowed the passage of a teaching that privileges the transmissive mode to a teaching whose approach favors a student questioning on the real world (observation, investigation, action) and practical action, discovery, contact with specialists. The learning was based on the experiences and experiences of the participants. Throughout the project, the partners worked on these 4 areas of interest that allowed the gradual construction of the knowledge and attitudes of our students: - make students understand what the climate is; - analyze causes of climate change; - analyze the effects of climate change; -To encourage students to act in favor of the environment. The activities carried out allowed a journey through time, inspired by the past recorded, current scientific data and future predictive data and a gradual appropriation, by the pupils, of scientific concepts, the acquisition of knowledge and know-how and the setting in dialogue of several school subjects to facilitate the understanding of this complex subject of study, the climate change ,, in order to understand the climatic phenomena and to be aware of the consequences of the behaviors of each one on these and on the health of our planet. The activities carried out in this European partnership have enabled students to become aware, at local and European level, of the evolution of their environment over a period of 200 years (1917/2017/2117) and to consider the future. according to various scenarios: an optimistic scenario with a 2 ° increase in temperature and a pessimistic scenario with a 5 ° C increase in temperature. As the project unfolded, students discovered their own region with respect to the climate: type of climate, causes and consequences of climate change, and realized that it is very important to protect the climate. the environment and that we must act effectively to stop the destruction of the planet. Through the activities carried out, guided by the 6 logbooks and other didactic tools designed in the project, the students were able to go beyond the textbooks and they were able to explore data, knowledge and experiences on warming up. climate change, directly and immediately. By interacting with their European colleagues, they became aware of the universality of this problem and the need to act for the sake of saving the environment. In addition, this project encouraged students to become involved in eco-responsible actions, taking individual and collective responsibility for preserving the planet's resources.
