In our age,environmental problems have reached serious levels, it is necessary to gain social common sense and carry out effective work in this direction in order to save our future. There had never been any regular work on environmental awareness and the development of thinking skills in our school before.P4C,a philosophical thinking methodology,was not recognized by teachers either.The teachers had not carried out any practical activities with the students regarding environmental awareness,other than presenting the environmental themes in their individual syllabuses using outdated presentation-based teaching methods.Students were playing on the asphalt ground in the school garden during breaks and were frequently injured.In the greening processes carried out before our project, it was observed that our students,who lack environmental awareness,destroyed the plants.All stakeholders of our school needed to be subjected to systematic environmental training.In addition,our students are generally children of economically disadvantaged families.It is thought that our students,who have limited digital opportunities at home, are also able to improve their digital skills thanks to the activities they do within the scope of this project.
