Project Summary

“2050 Not Far Away, Tomorrow!” Is a 24-month project, built in partnership with schools from Spain (coordinator), Romania, Serbia, Greece and Turkey.Unfortunately, biodiversity is rapidly decreasing day by day. Today, biodiversity is disappearing at a rate of 1000 times more than its normal rate. Population growth, accordingly excessive use of resources, climate change, increase of air pollution and spread of diseases; it is increasingly destroying biodiversity. By 2050, the population is expected to reach 9 billion. Population growth; its excessive consumption, climate change, and incredible loss in biodiversity. The planet is changing gradually, but our curriculum is still outdated. Therefore, the next generation does not know how to respond negativity. Many of our students have not even met the species that areused in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, forestry, pharmacy, and that form the ecosystem. We don’t have time to lose, tomorrow may be too late.In order to protect the planet and ensure its sustainability, we should develop an effective, up-to-date and broader curriculum on biodiversity issues by developing cooperation with our partners at the cross-border level. Because this planet is ours and all of us need to act for a sustainable planet.Our objectives are; To develop awareness of conservation of biodiversity and trigger behavior change on students with more effective and new school strategies; To increase students’ interest in science and natüre issues, to develop research, inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, ICT and foreign language skills and encourage them to act with communities; To increase the capacity of our institutions at local and international level by developing cooperation and coordination with partners, stakeholders and parents; To create a sustainable program through the integration of curriculum prepared by good practice examples and partnership.Expected results are; The new schools strategy will encourage students and staff to take responsibility for acting consciously and globally throughout life, and to mobilize others against global actions.Acting together with stakeholders and parents against global problems will create more awareness fort he public. Cooperation and coordination with stakeholders will strengthen the image of our institutions, increase its quality and open doors for new collaborations.Students will be more interested in science and biodiversity, will recognize a wide variety of living species, understand the importance of biodiversity in the field of ecosystem, agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry, and strive to protect the sustainability of the planet. While working on biodiversity issues, students’ skills in researching, questioning, critical thinking, problem solving, and using digital tools will increase.Partner schools will upload good practices and new units to Moodle and national open Access websites as open Access resources. Thus, our institutions will have new learning-teaching materials and current curriculum.
The target group are students 9-12 years aged, teachers, parents and communities.60 pupils and 40 teachers will participate to LTTAs in total.Workshops, drama, ecological camp, poster/slogan competition, seminar, interactive games, “The Green Wave” multi-year tree-planting campaign, seminar are main activities in ecosystems, agriculture, biodiversity, animals, fisheries, food and forests issues.The Spanish school is coordinator.Partner schools will act according to the work schedule divided into 24 months for the project to be completed on time.Work schedule answers the questions of “who will do what, when to do, how to do”.The Project activities will encourage teachers to network among colleagues, share knowledge and experience, as well as developing new practices involving different disciplines.Through project activities, students will learn about the richness of plant diversity on the planet, gain awareness of taking action to share, protect biodiversity and sustainability, as well as gaining the skills to use new ICT tools.Participants will gain transnational knowledge, skills and experience in biodiversity animals and fisheries with the experience of learning, teaching, training activities in Europe. Students will realize the importance of biodiversity for the planet and all living things and will develop positive behaviors as responsible European citizens for global problems.The reputation and international position of our institutions are strengthened and the staff of our institutions are eager to develop new collaborations and partnerships.The Partner schools will continue to use and develop project results and outputs after the project ends, and will share them with colleagues on the website, Twin Space, Moodle and social networks for many years.
