Our partnership aimed to contribute to the achievement of some important strategic objectives, both those mentioned in the Europe 2020 growth strategy and those mentioned in the Record Fund 2021-27 and in particular in Next Generation EU in issues related to sustainable development and climate change, Green Economy policies and the promotion of European values. The concrete results expected were: A local and international communication campaign (in the local language and in English) aimed at raising public awareness of the environmental critical issues emerging from the research work, including dissemination on social networks and traditional media, through: - Paper and digital publication of a dossier of the reports drawn up by each school regarding the topics addressed during the mobility weeks; • Joint production (group work) of audio and video spots both for information and denunciation, and for the promotion of sustainable and virtuous behaviors; • Joint creation (group work) of brochures on best practices; • Creation of posters to raise awareness of the importance of the project themes and encourage discussion on the main topics addressed.
The need to present this project arose from the perception of the tragic historical context that has profoundly shaken our certainties, confronting us with the awareness of our fragility. This realization, particularly painful and difficult for young people, was intended to represent the starting point for a positive change, where schools have the duty to be at the forefront of guiding young people to embrace their fragility and approach the world around us in a proactive and empathetic way. The practice of solidarity, civic awareness, and respect for the rules for the common good that this emergency has taught us can become values and practices in our daily lives as citizens and show us the path to truly empathetic interaction with others and the environment. Our FRAGILITY must enable us to grasp that of the environment we are part of and trigger virtuous behaviors and practices, in the absolute certainty that we are the environment around us. EMPATHY must become a practice of existing in presence, generating solidarity and responsibility towards others, the environment, and future generations.
