We wanted to answer the questions "Is the grass greener elsewhere?" by adapting it to the field of school education: are schools greener on the other side of borders? And how do humans and nature get along in your country? By observing, participating in and comparing our environmental education practices, we wanted to create a dynamic around the environmental issue. Everyone involved in the project - students, families, teachers, administrative staff, local authorities, partners - was given the role of transmitting good green practices. In addition to the objectives inherent in the environmental education project, the aim was also to develop professional skills by enriching teaching practices and managing/coordinating a project.
Running an erasmus+ project is a three-faceted response (at least!)! It's a response to an institutional need. We wanted to commit to internationalizing our school. In fact, it's one of the priorities of our school project. It's a response to a professional need. We wanted to play an active role and be a driving force by initiating and coordinating the project. The creation of small-scale partnership projects for "beginners" seemed like an opportunity to be seized. We wanted to acquire new professional skills in project management and teaching. It was also a response to an educational need. As teachers first and foremost, we are keen to offer students innovative and motivating educational projects. The Erasmus+ experience combines work, meetings and sharing around a central topical theme: the environment.
