We wanted to focus on nature & raise awareness on environmental problems and to improve students' confidence to take actions and believe they can make a positive difference. Another important objectives were: - To improve ecological life philosophy on our learners, increasing our students’ respect for the biological, social and cultural diversity that is fundamental to our World - To expand ICT & language skills which they can use in a meaningful context - To prepare and deploy the education and training of professionals for equity, diversity and inclusion challenges in the learning environment - To strengthen the international cooperation through sharing good teaching learning practices The results we achieved with our goals are: - Our students now see different approaches to mitigate climate change and raise their climate literacy level. - Awareness of all aspects of climate change increased, not only among students, but also in families and local communities - Awareness of protection and conscious use of natural resources was created.
We applied for this project because climate change is still having a negative impact on the environment, the economy and people's health and is now considered one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the twenty first century. In the past few years, various initiatives have been launched to try to curb climate change. Education is an essential factor in the ever more urgent global fight against climate change. Earlier knowledge on environmental effects was validated and strengthened by statistics, data and large numbers. However, statistics are too hard for children understand or evaluate the changes so that`s why we applied for this project. This project helped young people to understand and tackle the consequences of global warming, encouraged them to change their behaviour and help them to adapt to what is already a global emergency. Schools , had a central role to play in helping learners understand the causes of climate change so now, they can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions, and in acquiring the necessary values and skills to participate in the transition to more sustainable lifestyles, green economies and sustainable, climate resilient societies.
