Project Summary

The Global Warming project is an international school exchange program:Going abroad is not the main objective of the project nevertheless it has to be considered a reward, a motivation for our pupils and not as a due keeping in mind that the financial awarding of the project is external of the Lycée. This project uses the topic of Global Warming to make pupils work together on a same issue, the pupils from the both Technological Lycées from different countries but belonging to the UE.These pupils aged 17 have particular profiles: their experience from Collège may be a failure and we’ve noticed a loss of motivation and some shortcomings that need filling up during the 3 years of the Lycée cycle in order to pass the Baccalauréat.An adapted pedagogy is therefore the best means to find a new motivation and enhance ambition. Motivation triggers interest, it yields more personal commitment which leads to success. Success generates more wish consequently more commitment.The project is in 3 phases:Phase 1Each Lycée calculates the Global Warming footprintWork group ( 3 to 4 pupils)The pupils are in contact with foreign pupils using new technologies such as emails, social networks or/and Skype to express their point of view.Each group is in charge of the writing of its study.At the end of phase 1, the Danish come over to France to present the results of their analysis.Phase 2In each Lycée, each group studies a solution ( as innovative as possible) to reduce the environmental impact of their school.Each groups writes a study report.Phase 3Each group tries to apply its innovative solution and evaluates its impact across the school.The Danish-French groups present to each other the solution found.This project, by means of a different pedagogical approach wishes to lead the pupils to reach a concrete goal.Without realizing it, the pupils will find their own remediation, reformulation throughout their studies which will help them erase the gaps and lack of knowledge. They will have to use physics, mathematics as well as linguistic tools.They will need a good knowledge of TIC to deepen their understanding and to communicate in English. They will therefore develop their linguistic capacities ( writing, speaking, understanding and interacting).This project will hopefully help them succeed and encourage them to pursue studies abroad.We contribute to building Europe and European citizenship.
