The project is a research into best practice of environmental issues, sustainable development and thinking in each of the participating countries. The main objective is to find out the links between food production in the EU and the European strategies for sustainable development. The basic purpose of the project is to train individuals in environmental and sustainable development and thinking, approaching with respect and understanding of the different partner countries way of dealing with the topic. The students will own and recognize the natures richness and diversity in relation to protect nature from further disasters. The projects aim is: - To develop equality and share values in activities that improve critical thinking - Strengthen key competences in VET - Develop institutional partnerships supporting the set up and implementation of an internationalization strategy of VET learners and apprentices Teachers and students work and exchange teaching and learning methods/ideas. Result will be presented digitally, and creative work will be done not just with the school partners, but with local authorities/institutions (NGO’s) as well, to raise awareness for our environment and start focus more on sustainable development and thinking. This will be obtained by preparing a pedagogical base including reflections and proposals of active methods invaluable to improve the Lisbon Key Competences such as: learning to learn, interpersonal, intercultural and social competences and civil competences. These will be achieved by addressing the following topics: - Environmental and sustainable thinking and development - Water resources and organic nutrient cycling - Biodiversity, energy and waste - Zero miles food - The Ecologic and ironic man’s footprint Ceuti and Viborg municipalities enter the project as associated partners. Ceuti is involved in a local project “the Ecologic and ironic man’s footprint”, which will be a part of this project too. Viborg is contributing with knowledge and is a part of a local project, urban gardening. The specific objectives of the project are: - Encouraging the establishment of sustainable development and thinking - Focusing on our environment and climate change - Implementing the project as a goal and complementary tool to develop the understanding of agriculture, forestry and fisheries among the participants - To promote entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurship education - Raising the students’ awareness regarding social inclusion - To promote students personal and professional development to become active among European citizens - To encourage foreign language learning and sharing using new technologies The main target group of this project is students, who are the owner of the future. That is why all our activities are students oriented and can be only accomplished with their participation. The aim of the activities is to enable the students gaining knowledge and abilities that they can use in future. Therefore, the 7 partners in the project and spreading the knowledge gained and involving people activity with the measures on environment and sustainability put into practice, an estimated number of 168 people benefiting directly from the activities. We hope there will be many more involved. Our partners represent contrasting social and economic backgrounds, and a diverse collection of communities from across Europe. By working together to deliver our aims about environment and sustainability, we will be successful in showing our students, parents, staff and others, how people from different parts of Europe can work together about our environment and create a more cohesive European citizenship. The project methodology is based on the concept of interdisciplinary teaching to enhance the quality of education. We aim at approaching key issues from the perspective of different subjects, biology and environment, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of environmental issues in a European context. To assess the impact, and to ensure the proper development of the project, both formative types of evaluation as well as summative ones are used. It is expected to be a strong cooperation among institutions, municipalities, district governorships, district national education directorates, NGOs during the preparation, implementation and sustainability of our project. Local authorities, organizations and institutions in all participating countries, will be invited to learn about the project and its results.
