Objectives

Knowing that the main objective is related with environmental awareness, we should take into consideration that we must bear in mind our environment to minimize the negative effetcs of human action. We hoped to help entreprenuers implement new entrepreneurial skills that favor environmental consciousness in both participating teachers and students, as well as foster creativity and digilatization to lower envornmental damages to our planet y attempt to encourage humans to see naure as one more factor to take into account when planning new activities. The reasons for assigning such a project and the needs it addresses fall into four big areas: learning, skills, society, and the environment. Firstly, a project like this helps students understand the direction the world is moving and prepares them for future jobs and industries. Secondly, students develop critical and entrepreneural thinking by spotting opportunities and solving problems creatively. Thirdly, they combine many subjects of the curriculum through interdisciplinarity. Finally, it encourages responsibility and agency as students see that they can be part of the solution to environmental challenges.

Background

We requested this project due to our needs of international cooperation and the building of networks among countries, the main reason behind this project is related to raising awareness about the impact of humanity in environmental activities and in the creation of didactic strategies so as to let teachers and students know about the importance of taking care of the environment and the necessity of international cooperation, since the care for the environment is a global issue that affects all countries and humanity has not taken into consideration the negative effects of climate change in human action. A project where students must design their own green business is not just a creative assignment, it responds to several real educational, social, and environmental needs, such as the need to develop sustainable alternatives so as to protect our planet, the ability to "think outisde the box" and solve problems creatively and critically, team-work and collaboration among peers to reach a common goal, etc.
