Project Summary

Selective recycling is still a challenge for a society that has not understood well enough that the environment needs recycling so that we, the people, can live in good, clean environmental conditions. People still do not know how to select this garbage because it has not come into the consciousness of all this idea and the termination of the earth’s resources has not become consciousness in fact but treats this aspect as something extremely distant.
Therefore, we believe that everything must start from the school, in a correct and coherent form through the direct and active involvement of the students who will not only stand to look at these aspects but will be requested through direct activities. Recycling involves work, involvement but also inventiveness because the project aims not only to select these materials but also to make or remake some of the recyclable materials, ready to be reused in the school field and beyond.
Thus, plastic materials, cloths, glass, wood, and paper will be recycled.
Why is it so necessary to take this step towards society? We all know that garbage degrades soil in areas where it is stored, has serious effects on the aquatic environment and the gases produced by their incineration are very toxic. Therefore, the effects are disastrous, generating mass pollution. However, there is always an alternative, you just have to find the most efficient solution to “get rid” of these worn or outdated, unusable materials.
Most of us are indifferent or very little interested in this phenomenon of collection, proper storage and efficient recycling of waste. So, we want to bring to students’ awareness of the idea of recycling by selecting and collecting the objects with the help of some:
OBJECTIVES:
– We want the pupils to get involved in a larger number in the process of recycling at all the partner schools.
– Due to another Erasmus project that Romania school have in progress (reading and creating QRs) we want to recycle various objects and then create on each category of recyclable QR products to inform the recycling possibilities, the way and the solutions of reassessment of products
– We want our students to discover educational value through recycling, awareness, and involvement in equal measure.
ACTIVITIES:
1. teachers selection involved in the project, quality assurance, budget control, and time management, risk management, procurement, financial reports, archiving, reporting for the National Agency and the European Commission
2. preparation (tasks related to tasks and content)
3. dissemination activities (within the institutions that may involve the involvement in the design, in other institutions, of public information and media coverage, publications, and scientific events, graphic materials;
4. a training event for the development
METHODOLOGIES:
1. creation of a communication network, informative activities, selection and preparation of participants, specific rules and financial regulations.
2. conducting a start-up meeting and practical arrangements for training events
3. a short-term training event
4. the dissemination phase with activities defined previously in a dissemination plan
5. finalizing the project by establishing the specific tasks for each partner in the sustainability period, strengthening the partnership and inviting new partners, planning additional activities
RESULTS:
The main results of the project are:
1. at an institutional/organizational level: development of innovative strategies for collection, selection, and recycling in educational programs based on the content of events and the experience and expertise gained within the project;
2. activities with beneficiaries: implementation of the strategy developed through this project of environmental protection in at least 20 schools in all participating countries, attended by at least 2000 students, 200 teachers, and 300 parents and family members;
3. at the interinstitutional level: partnerships with similar institutions and schools to use recyclable materials and is in the field of social sciences and humanities in QRs.
IMPACT:
1. impact on the participants: improved competences regarding the implementation of digital didactics through QR in social and humanistic subjects; a better understanding of the cognitive and behavioral model of digital natives, the ability to adapt programs to the needs of students’ cognitive development
2. impact on the participating organizations: innovative approaches to approach the target groups by offering: a more attractive approach in teaching, in accordance with the needs and expectations of the students, using ICT-based strategies and methodology;
POTENTIAL LONG-TERM BENEFITS:
1. the new innovative approach to teaching and learning social and humanistic topics
2. implementation of the booklet as a teaching tool
3. new projects to improve the results of this proposal.
