Project Summary

The SDG-able Schools project was born from the interest of many educational centres to include the Sustainable Development Goals within the teaching processes to achieve European citizens capable of making a better world.
For this reason, the first objective is to develop competent students, who have developed their basic skills and acquired the key competences.
Therefore, it is a priority to work on the values of the educational community, producing changes, not only in the students, but also in the teachers and the educational centres.
To do this, based on the SDGs, we carry out a campaign in each school to make them known and to value the concerns and worries of the students.
From this first work, five committees are constituted in each school: Health, Solidarity, Sustainability, Equality and Management. The committees are made up of teachers and students interested in the subject. Each of these committees will be responsible for the work around certain GDSs. It should start by making an analysis of the situation and establishing priority objectives.
At the same time, the teaching staff will include the SDGs within the programmes, making reference to them whenever the curriculum allows it.
Each of these committees will be coordinated with their equivalents in the other participating schools.
During the development of the project, in addition to organising dissemination, awareness and action activities on the topics related to their committee and celebrating the international days they agree upon, each committee will develop two eTwinning projects, one each year, in collaboration with the committees of the other participating centres. The committees are free to choose how they will carry out these projects.
During the development of the project, five meetings are held, one in each country and with a main theme related to one of the committees. During this meeting, a forum is held to which the participants take their school’s proposals on the causes and possible solutions to the theme in question.
The contributions of each country come from a process of reflection in which all the students of each school participate and which is coordinated with the student representative boards and the thematic committees.
Upon returning from each meeting, the participants disseminate the results among the students of their school and take responsibility for starting to put the agreed measures into practice.
Schools from Croatia, Spain, Italy, Poland and Romania are participating in this project. The experience of the schools is diverse. We consider that a value of the association since it enriches us by providing new visions to those who have been in this experience for a long time and offering help to those who are starting. All the centres contribute their skills and experience in different fields.
The project is evaluated at the end of the first year in terms of its functioning and at the end of the second year in terms of achieving the objectives.
The project is disseminated among the educational community through an open day in each course and activities in certain educational institutions. This dissemination day is part of the Europe Day activities and where the results of the eTwinning projects developed are made known.
The continuity of the results is guaranteed by the structural changes that are produced by including the agreements in the institutional documents of the centres, including the SDG in the programming of the subjects.
But the most important continuity is ensured by the learning that takes place in the students and that makes them better citizens.
