Objective 1: We increased awareness and understanding of upcycling and sustainability among students. - Conducted pre- and post-project surveys of students' knowledge and attitudes towards upcycling and sustainability (MS Forms). - Monitored attendance rates and participation levels in upcycling workshops and activities. - Evaluated completion rates and the quality of upcycling projects submitted by students (as showcased during the event). Objective 2: We developed practical skills and creative abilities in upcycling among students. -Assessed the quality and functionality of upcycling projects created by students (rated by teachers and artists). - Observed the demonstration of upcycling skills in completed projects. - Collected student feedback on the development of practical skills and creative abilities (MS Forms). - Gathered feedback from partners on the level of collaboration and exchange achieved (interviews). All outcomes are summarized and shared on the project's social media platforms.
The Erasmus+ Project UpCycleConnect addressed the needs and goals of participating organizations and their target groups by providing training, knowledge sharing, and collaboration opportunities in upcycling techniques, which contributed to sustainable development and waste reduction. The project enabled participating organizations to: - Develop new skills and competencies in upcycling and sustainable design, which can be used to create new products, services, and business models. - Network and collaborate with other organizations, experts, and professionals in the fields of sustainable development, design, and waste reduction. - Develop new teaching and learning ideas that can be used to educate students, teachers, and other members of their target groups on upcycling and sustainable development.
