Project Summary

The partners, from Turkey (Coordinator), Italy, Poland, Hungary Spain and Portugal have a shared interest and the partnership covers a wide European area geographically, providing a European added value to the project which envisages cross-country collaboration between countries that work within a varied socio-cultural context.
Each partner school has different needs, responsibility and ability to participate in this project, but they will gain a sense of being able to work jointly with colleagues in different countries of Europe to achieve a common goal.
Selçuk Anatolian is the coordinating institution, they will make sure all the deadlines are met. They suffer from some environmental problems like air pollution and waste disposal.
Péter András will organize “Make a Difference Day” to increase the awareness of the students on reducing waste and reusing materials, and the official ECO-SCHOOL title was awarded to the Péter András Grammar School last year, because of the eco-conscious attitude of the students and staff. They have taken part in several Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus+KA1 and KA2 projects before.
IX Liceum will be focused on measuring air quality to determine how polluted the air is, to identify the key pollutants and ways of reducing air pollution.
A. Meucci” takes part in both local and national projects on the environmental, recycling and human rights.
Agrupamento will organize a “Beach Cleaning day” to raise public awareness about inappropriate waste management practices. They want to develop an educational programme of interdisciplinary activities on science, Robotics and Multimedia.
IES Illa de Tambo will be analyzing all the forms of pollution can lead to marina pollution as they live on the coast. Four partners have participated in Erasmus+ projects before.
The main objectives of the project are:
– to help the staff and pupils acquire an awareness and sensitivity and to help them gain a variety of experience in, and acquire a basic
understanding of the environment and its associated problems.
– to help them acquire a set of values and feelings of concern for the environment and the motivation for actively participating in environmental
improvement and protection.
– to help students acquire the skills for identifying and solving and – to provide participants with an opportunity to be actively involved at all levels in
working toward resolution of environmental problems.
Through this project we hope that students develop their social skills, and discover each other’s culture and lifestyle, way of thinking, enhancing teamwork, practising and communicating in a foreign language.
The exchange will benefit approximately 20 staff and 120 pupils who are aged 14-18 directly and many more staff and pupils are expected to join in activities held locally. The exchange will involve six mobilities over a period of 2 years.
The main events of this environmental project will be the organisation of a beach clean-up day, making a difference day, recycling workshops, air pollution activities, and activities aimed at preventing marine contamination. There will be “other activities” like making an organic garden, making species map, studying on climate change and solid waste.
Oral discussions will be conducted with the pupils about the social and physical aspects of the environment. Workshops will be organized in class for recycling, reusing and doing presentations. Out-of-class activities will be organized for real experiences in the local environmental areas like (coast, ponds, lakes and rivers). The environmental issues and problems will be discussed and presented through films and slide shows.
The expected results will be as follows.
– Students will understand the threats facing our planet and will be able to spread this knowledge in local communities as well as plan remedy
actions.
– They will be informed of the types of pollution and actions that they can do to prevent pollution of the ocean.
– This project will give them first-hand experience of seeing how an important issue like environmental problems is handled in a different country.
We envisage that the project will impact at various levels from staff to pupils and it will improve the skills of those engaged in teaching and learning in education, which in turn will provide scope for changes directly into the wider community.
We hope that each institution will become stewards of environment in their local community by protecting the environment through recycling, conservation, regeneration, and restoration. They will share this responsibility with those whose actions affect the environment.
In the long term, it is expected that this project will enable the involved schools to
– set example to other schools and their community about environmental issues
– provide a healthy, more efficient and effective working environment
– integrate the experience in their environmental club activities and curriculum requirements
