Objectives

Our project was revolving around three main objectives including European priorities which are: - the environment, we wanted to raise awareness about the preservation of Nature in a more concrete way and on a European scale while directing a reflection on school work spaces which are sometimes not very motivating or attractive for our learners lacking greenery and relaxation areas to distress and calm down; - digital technology, omnipresent in our daily teaching but we wanted to show another way of using artificial intelligence, to help them carry out tasks. Moreover the short radio training session was an experience greatly appreciated by all the students; -the inclusion of all students in our classroom activities and mobilities, otherwise by using virtual meetings to pursue exchanges between students, even those who did not participate during mobilities. All of these objectives worked under a peer-to-peer tutoring system and every student felt fully engaged in this project until the end. They also worked on numerous school subjects but also social skills by getting self-confidence and daring to express themselves and make themselves understood in English even if it was not perfect, and in civic skills as a European citizen.

Background

The coordinating country (France) and its partners have been working on ecology and European citizenship for several years. But we only did basic actions as regards Nature such as recycling with sometimes some innovative ideas such as recycling clothes (Italy). But this only remained at a local level. So participating altogether in an Erasmus + program was sure a logical continuation of our various activities, in order to meet and learn from each other, by sharing our knowledge and skills. This project also meets the national objectives of our respective countries to deal with global warming because the asphalt in our schools creates sources of heat, hence a reflection on how to make more green our buildings in order to create freshness and bring back pollinators which are in decline, while creating a better working environment. In addition, we noticed that our students needed to gain autonomy and self-confidence, which was beneficial and notable during mobility periods and group works through peer tutoring situations.
