Objectives

Our project aims to cultivate generations of environmentally conscious and active young people. We aim to achieve the following concrete results: establishing and nurturing green areas, promoting waste reduction and recycling practices, encouraging the production and consumption of local organic food, implementing energy conservation measures, and addressing pollution issues. By using English as a common language and developing relevant and innovative digital and environmental skills, participants between 10 and 16 have become true agents of change. The outcomes have been remarkable, they have created vertical gardens and interactive digital maps with QR codes to explore biodiversity across five countries; they have designed virtual 3D eco-farms and created illustrated dictionaries on sustainability; they have produced presentations on energy conservation and established online stores to sell their recycled products, developing entrepreneurial and digital skill; They have cultivated school gardens and experimented with local food recipes, promoting healthy and sustainable eating. These activities have not only been enjoyable but have also equipped students with essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, creativity

Background

The R.E.P.O.W.E.R. project addresses the pressing issue of climate change by promoting sustainable behaviors. It aims to cultivate an eco-conscious generation through a multidisciplinary school curriculum that fosters respect for the environment. By studying the environment across different seasons and regions, students and teachers will gain a deeper understanding of human-nature interactions and the importance of ecological balance. The project consists of five "smart" actions: Smart Gardening: Exploring the relationship between plants and climate through lessons and visits to parks and gardens.Creating a tree-ebook and building a vertical garden. Smart Energy: Investigating sustainable energy sources and usage.Building a 3D eco-farm Smart Shopping: Promoting recycling, e-commerce, and sustainable production. Creating an online shop (Presta Shop) Smart Eating: Focusing on the production of organic food for human well-being. Smart Thinking: Analyzing project results and evaluating each phase. Through these actions, students will not only develop a keen awareness of climate change but also gain valuable digital, linguistic, social, cultural, and practical skills, empowering them to become responsible global citizens of the future
