Objectives

Our realistic objectives, which are based on the real needs of our students and which clearly relate to the selected priorities: - Become aware of environmental issues and the close relationship with our lives: flora and fauna, ecosystems, climate, health, food, energy ... "What children learn today will transform the world of tomorrow". - Establish new behaviors and attitudes respectful towards the environment by reducing the ecological footprint and promoting a critical mind with regard to consumption patterns and lifestyles. - Train eco-citizens by making them aware of the concerns of sustainable development and by encouraging them to become informed citizens capable of taking action. - Ensuring the preparation of students for secondary school and for life, developing transversal skills such as research, autonomy, teamwork,initiative, critical thinking, creativity, communication in a foreign language. - Promote the effective integration of Sustainable Development Education in educational programs and school programs. - Knowing and protecting our heritage as a tool to create bonds of friendships and respect between European students and to establish comparisons and cooperation between different regions.

Background

Our project is a partnership of seven schools for 24 months. The coordinating country is France (Guadeloupe) which, in collaboration with institutions with extensive experience in Erasmus projects (North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Portugal), institutions with a tradition of European projects (Turkey, Italy, Portugal) but sharing a strong motivation to get involved, proposes to carry out this project on the environment: “Eco ambassadors”. This project was born from an objective observation made by the referent partners: the need to instill or consolidate an ecological conscience among the pupils who, very often, do not know the concrete and basic gestures capable of improving the quality of the life and preserve the environment. The priority objective of our project is therefore to rediscover (and in some cases, to discover quite simply) the importance and the benefits of an active and ecological life from an early age. It is essential to create in our students an ecological conscience which leads them to adopt positive and protective attitudes towards the environment. Europe, with the 2030 Agenda, has set itself goals that we must all set as priorities for a better future
