Objectives

Through this project we want to make a change, we want them to develop key competencies, basic skills, we want the participants in this project to acquire capacities and resources for adaptation and integration, to form skills for action in various situations, to acquire proactive behaviors in relation to the environment, we want our actions to count in the community out of concern for the environment. We also want to improve the communication skills of the participants, to develop the psycho-emotional side of the special children involved in the project, to create people involved in the community, who care. We also set out to acquire knowledge related to the way in which we can recycle, reuse, reduce, to create art objects from recyclable materials, to create a piece in which environmental issues are highlighted, to set up a vertical garden with an impact for the school community. The well-being of the trainees is another priority of the institutions involved in the project.

Background

One of the priorities of the institutions involved in the project is the green initiative. The project was primarily addressed to students with special needs, with disabilities, who unfortunately make an additional effort to understand the major changes in contemporary society, the climate changes. Starting from the need to help these children to adapt, to help them to acquire a proactive behavior towards the environment, to help them understand that only by acting they can also contribute to saving the planet, from the need for the valorization of these children, we created this project, a project for "special hearts". The project also addressed the need for understanding the causality of climate change and the acquisition of methods of prevention and action against the degradation of the planet by the other educational actors involved in the project, teachers and parents. Trying to look from a positive perspective, we live in a society that does not understand the importance of recycling and protecting the environment. but which shows potential in acquiring proactive behaviors. Our role as educators is to shape these personalities in the direction of transforming this Planet into a more beautiful place.
