Objectives

The concrete objectives of our project were: - To increase public awareness about environmental issues, starting at schools, - To explore possible solutions to current environmental issues, - To lay the foundations for a fully informed and active participation of individuals in the protection of the environment and the prudent and rational use of natural resources, - To encourage pupils to examine and interpret the environment from a variety of perspectives-physical, geographical, biological, sociological, economic, political, technological, historical, esthetic, and ethical. - To arouse pupil's awareness and curiosity about the permaculture lifestyle(Permaculture is, amongst others, an approach to land management that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems) and - To encourage active participation in resolving environmental problems.

Background

By implementing that project; we aimed to achieve to show our students, who are born and raised in the information society, the ways to add meaning to what they know, to help them transform information into behavior, and to educate young people who adopt 21st-century skills, have critical and creative thinking skills, product and result-oriented work and use digital tools, by supporting the online and offline tools that we will use on our education and training processes on all branches. Moreover, we also aimed to support the upbringing of the generations who can transform what they learn into behavior, take social and environmental responsibilities, and adopt lifelong learning as a principle, and ultimately to educate young people who know their responsibilities towards society and the environment they live in, especially in the sense of the future of our world, who have understood the importance of sustainable environmental development and realized what they can do about it.
