Main objectives for: Students; -improving attitudes and interest STEM disciplines and STEM career -raising awareness and pursue taking action against environmental problems and climate change (“take the future in your hands”) -developing key competencies and transversal skills through STEM application (megatrends of the world today) -improving and expanding their understanding of STEM. - increasing STEM literacy, supporting lifelong interest and participation in STEM -improving communication skills while working in an international team (development of sustainable cross-border cooperation) Teachers: -developing professional skills to practice new learning approaches in order to facilitate an innovative learning approach in their lessons (future skills) -exploring formative students' assessment methods for STEM education outcomes -developing communication skills in a foreign language while exchanging good practices -improving organisational skills by implementing seminars, dissemination and LTTA’s Parents: - İncreasing awareness of environmental issues and climate change - Reducing carbon footprints at least - Contributing recycling at their home and work
The global issues such as pollution and climate change that we have to face are complex problems, and the solution of these problems needs interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. Developing and increasing an understanding and taking action against the environmental problems and climate change are more needed than reading them from the textbooks. The students know that we should save our planet and that climate change is a vital problem for our world, but almost all of them do nothing to reduce their carbon footprint. Thus, the main aim of this project is to develop STEM-related skills and competencies for our children through STEM activities inspired environments. In line with the aim of the project, our partnership is focused on developing students' skills and academic success in STEM disciplines while enabling them to create STEM solutions for environmental issues and to fight against climate change.
