Project Summary

The year 2019 has shown, partly through the influence of Greta Thunberg, that rethinking and concrete actions in environmental and climate protection are a long overdue goal, formulated by young and old people not only in the “Fridays for future” movements, which is being dis-cussed by leaders worldwide. At the Herderschule there was even a project day, “Herder for Future” at which various workshops were held on the topics of environmental protection and sustainability. This movement is also relevant at schools in the partner countries.
The Polish school has been taking many actions connected with practical ways to protect the environment: rubbish selection classes, collecting plastic bottles for charity purposes, recy-cled materials art classes. Ecology and sustainability are important elements of the school curriculum.
During the evaluation of the previous project: “What do you think – what do we think? Over-coming borders, finding common ground!” it became clear that environmental and climate pro-tection are topics that are of great concern to the participating pupils and their fellow pupils in all partner countries and should be addressed in a follow-up project. In discussions and in the exchange itself, differences with regard to sustainable nutrition and health became visible. Another issue that was discussed was sports and nature. Many students regularly do sports. The practice of various sports can influence and damage the surrounding nature to a great extent. For example, waste is produced, additional infrastructure is needed and made possi-ble, noise is produced. This has negative effects on people and nature. It turned out that the pupils are concerned to practise sport in a nature-compatible way.
The teachers involved in the project immediately agreed to support the plan to work on these topics and to encourage the commitment of the pupils.
Thus, the selection of the project partners resulted from the previous project and continues a tradition of our school partnerships.
In addition, the eTwinning 2020 theme “Climate change” has motivated all the participants to initiate a project described below.
Furthermore, the previous project showed that digital media literacy skills are developed dif-ferently in the partner countries and that there is much to learn from each other (peer to peer learning).
Accordingly, the idea was born to develop the project: “A common European reference framework for health and sustainability – vision or necessary reality?“ The pupils will pursue two main questions and enrich them with theme-related excursions and activities:
1. “Sustainable nutrition: seasonal and regional – the only way to a healthy future?”
2. “Holistic and sustainable health: Sport and exercises – parts of the ecological footprint?!

The results shall answer the questions formulated in the project title and serve the exchange and discussion with representatives of the European Commission Health Care in Brussels.
In order to further promote the digital media skills and the key competences of the pupils and to collect the results in a functional, target group-adapted and motivating way, the pupils shall produce and present videos.
