Get pupils involved in studying the environment and fighting against climate change, by giving them a greater awareness of and respect for the environment. Create links with ecology by revealing cultural elements of world history, past and present, as there are many of them based on ecology in mankinds’ history. Reminding these elements is a duty for educational institutions and the best way of showing that nature and environment are indispensable to our lives. All activities carried out underline the importance of protecting nature, help to encourage the fight for environmental protection, by allowing digital learning by pupils that includes elements of recycling and sustainability. The aim is to contribute to prevent environmental problems and to train pupils to be sensitive and respectful towards nature. The aim of the project is to show the link between the history of humanity and the environment through the discovery of the partners' past cultural assets, thereby raising awareness of environmental issues. The multilingual cultural assets of the participants are intended to benefit multilingualism and thus enrich the programmes by comparing environmental education and ecological concepts in different school education systems.
We created this project based on the observation that people were less sensitive to nature that surrounds them. This disconnection from the environment has a negative impact on human relations. As a result, people are less tolerant and live in more individualistic societies. Since pupils and parents are active members of the consumer society it has naturally led us to look for solutions and reflect on the problem in the field of education. Aim of education for sustainable development is to develop sensitive individuals who adopt responsible behaviour towards the planet, but we are nonetheless seeing a degradation of the environment. During interviews with students, it was noticed that they need to acquire concepts such as “green” and sustainability. It was also observed that in order to increase their ability to protect the environment, we need to lead them to an ecologically sustainable life. To help them to understand that nature is present at every stage of human history and that it contributes to our emotional needs and the needs of humanity. The three main needs we have identified are : 1-developing environmentally-friendly citizens 2-develop cultural skills, 3-develop artistic, linguistic and digital skills
