The main aim of the project was to increase students’ and teachers’ understanding of climate change, water preservation, and sustainable resource management. We wanted to raise awareness of how everyday actions can make a difference and inspire more sustainable habits. Another goal was to strengthen international cooperation and intercultural understanding by connecting students and teachers from different countries. Through exchanges and shared activities, participants would learn about other cultures, respect diversity, and see global issues from multiple perspectives. Improving communication and language skills was also an important objective, giving participants greater confidence in using English in authentic situations. Finally, the project aimed to support teachers’ professional growth through collaboration and sharing of methods for integrating sustainability into education.
We applied for this project because we wanted to give all participants a greater and deeper understanding of climate change and global environmental issues. The main focus for this project were water and recycling. We wanted to give the participants knowledge of the importance of water in our regions and globally, since it´s an important source for life. By studying this we were hoping to give knowledge to avoid long periods of drought or long periods of heavy rainfall in the future. We also wanted to study how we can preserve the water we have access to today and how we can return it to nature in the way we received it. Another topic that was prioritized in the project was the availability of different materials. We wanted to share knowledge about reusing, reducing ande recycling. We wanted the participants to have knowledge about how we can´t always take material from nature as it will eventually run out. We wanted to study how we can prevent overconsumption and save the material that we already have in circulation. We also wanted to improve the participants communication skills and use of ICT.
