The project, was born from the partnership between an Italian and a Turkish school and supported by the collaboration with university research centres (University of Bari "A. Moro"), and private or state entities (Navy). This partnership allowed participants to learn about: - the environmental transformations underway, which affect the balance of natural ecosystems and the relationship between man and nature; - the initiatives implemented by governments to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability. The development of the project path led to the identification and adoption of eco-sustainable behaviours, such as water and energy saving, the protection of greenery and the "propensity" for recycling, meant both as reuse and as the possibility of obtaining alternative forms of energy from waste materials. The aim of broadening the inclusive dimension of the institute and enhancing diversity was taken into account, in the implementation of the project, encouraging the participation of DVA, DSA and foreign students. The collaboration with partners of different cultures contributed to the development of linguistic, civic, digital skills as well as soft skills.
The project was born from different needs such as: - allowing new generations to reflect on climate change, identifying its causes and consequences, - knowing the eco-sustainable policies implemented in countries other than their own, - promoting behaviours aimed at safeguarding the environment in which we live. It is in continuity with other experiences in the sector carried out both by the Italian school, such as a PON module focused on sustainable agriculture and an Erasmus project aimed at safeguarding fauna, and by the Turkish school, such as a research initiative aimed at creating packaging with plant waste. The current project path has broadened the field of investigation, allowing the achievement of objectives relating both to civic and linguistic skills thanks to the partnership with a school having a different socio-cultural background. The involvement of DVA, DSA and foreign students in the various phases of the project, has implemented the feeling of inclusion, a need warmly expressed by school users. Finally, the project action allowed all participants to implement soft skills.
