Project Summary

CONTEXT
After years of public and political educational debates in relation to sustainable development, 2015 marks a turning point due to COP21 (the United Nations Climate Change Conference of Paris). The wish was to implement pedagogic projects in relation to sustainable development, with the aim of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Our societies face inequalities, unfair, unstable and less effective societies. To reach social equity is a moral objective and ,at the same time, practical. We want to assume it in relation to our project Unified for a Sustainable Future comprised of 5 countries of Europe: France in the West, Spain and Greece in the South, Belgium in the Nord and Romania in the South-East.

This project offers not only experiencies that come from our geopolitical, historic and cultural diversity, but also that come from some previous projects. In this way, this project is based on the principles of complementarity and innovation. The dimensions of sustainable development will be integrated in a transversal way, to be able to give an answer to its multiple, social and environmental issues

OBJECTIVE.
To allow teachers and students of 5 European countries to collaborate in relation to education and sustainable education in its 4 dimensions: social inclusion, sustainable development, economic growth and social security. In the same way, the social, pedagogic and cultural objectives of the project are primary goals in the European education policy: social inclusion, sustainable investment, the acquisition of aptitudes and competences.

There are social, culturally and pedagogical objective.

Benefits:
– Directs: 120 students (15-18 years old, general, vocational and technological schools, derived from different social environments) and teachers from 5 schools.
– Indirects: 3000 (students, teachers, parents of students, school, cultural, local economic, regional communities).
The activities (of preparation, evaluation, realisation of finished products, local activities of learning, of training of teachers) will lead to these RESULTS:
-Immaterials :aptitudes, knowledge, skills, scientific , organizational, relational, communication, intercultural competences.
-Tangibles: calendars, documents, power-points, photos, posters, pedagogic kits, charters, dictionary, website, optional course of sustainable development, green equipped spaces.

METHODOLOGY.
Variety of dynamic approaches to the concepts: conferences, debates, workshops, visits, thematic excursions, practical and artistic workshops (sorting in the schools, fabrication of ecological products, creation of a green space in the school, posters, photos, videos). Methods: focus groups, class discussion, surveis, observation, questionnaires, researchs, interviews, oral presentations, slideshow, videos.

Every school will coordinate a thematic segment: social inclusion (Lycée Bahuet,Brive, France); social security (IES Azcona, Spain), economic growth (CN Carol I, Romania), sustainable development (ITHCF Gembloux, Belgique et Geniko Lykeio Syrou, Gréce).

As a basic principle we will have the collaborative and participative management.
