Project Summary

Our partnership consists in 4 countries: Italy, Germany, Poland, and Slovenia. Every country has its contribution related to the subjects. To develop a good plan and a coherent set of activities and to give a positive sign about collaboration, effort, and common values a final meeting is necessary to discuss the coordination of the four different partners. At the beginning of the project, by remote session, will be confirmed all tasks and detailed final planning of activities and exchanges. Specifically; will be approved next listed tasks: *Making the detailed plan of activities for the whole project, * Composing a group of teachers from the participating countries monitoring the process, *Motivation of the employees and better getting to know all involved, *Working with e-Twinning platform-workshop, *All schools will work together and contribute their knowledge about „Eco-Poly“. In a more innovative and resilient teaching perspective, investing in teacher training is crucial. In this perspective, the project will be a good occasion, for all teachers, to boost and enhance the IT (e-Twinning) competencies, to innovate their educational methods and their scientific skills. To be more efficient in the digital sharing platform, teachers will participate in the national training about use and potentials of the E-twinning platform.
Students will be involved in 4 exchanges experience, four working days long. During each exchange hosted students, collaborating each other will be involved in different activities, dedicated to deepening of specific themes (sustainability, recycling, environmental protection and climate change) through dedicated workshops, visits and role games.
At the end of the ” Eco-poly” project, students will improve their English skills, will become more conscious about the global challenges and more cooperative and proactive in thinking up new and more resilient solution for a more sustainable future. All these goals will be reached thank to an innovative educational approach, based on more active learning such as gamification, field-based learning and cooperative learning.
At the beginning and the end of each exchange experience, participating students will be evaluated, by an online multiple-choice test, to have a clear indication of reached goals in term of English and scientific literacy.
Finally, each school will produce a shareable board game useful also for other students from different schools and teachers will produce a report containing best practices and new didactics developed during the project.
