Participating Organizations wanted to raise awareness on the importance of Biodiversity and living organisms; in each mobility students from Poland, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Turkey discovered different endangered animals and in small multinational groups discussed the solutions of further survival for them. We wanted to get experiences in a non-formal way that helps our students to connect with nature while maintaining the importance of biodiversity. Students and teachers compared the different school systems. All schools are implementing new teaching methods to make students active learners and make education accessible and create equal opportunities regardless of where people live and what their financial status or personal circumstances are .The visit to the different schools opened their eyes to new realities. The partners concentrated on how knowledge and experience about distributed and distance learning models could be transferred between the partner countries and how such models can be integrated into the education system to better support higher education and lifelong learning.. Students significantly improved their communication skills and interpreted concepts, thoughts, feelings, facts and opinions .
5 nations: Poland, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Turkey took action with the project: “Biodiversity: discovery & action” to raise significant awareness about the most important issues such as the environment and climate change. Sustainable educational tours, lectures, a variety of STEAM, Art, Music, Science laboratory workshops with the researchers from different educational institutions helped to shed light on the problem that students could take the action. In each mobility students ran the Hackathon and in small multinational groups created the proposals on how to face the biodiversity problems discovered in the activities, they practiced cooperative learning, public speaking, creativity and decision making. . Through the project activities students focused on sustainability and Agenda 2030 goals, in particular Goal 13, 14,15. Our students discovered the problem of environment and climate change in 5 nations but also they realized the scale of the problem and took action by protecting endangered species, planting trees, saving water, recycling rubbish, and stopping the use of plastic. Thanks to the multicultural environment and the partners’ collaboration we have developed greatly the terms of “biodiversity” and human diversity.
