Project Summary

Project Title: Save E.A.R.T.H. Environmental Awareness Reforming Teenagers’ Horizon
The project is planned for two years: from September 2020 to August 2022.
The partnership has been established among 6 schools from Italy, Sweden, Greece, Romania, The Netherlands and Germany.
Worldwide Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and changing weather conditions that threaten food production and other impacts of production and consumption of human beings increase the risk for our planet.
All partners want to raise the awareness for an environmentally friendly lifestyle among students and their families. We aim at teaching our students how to live and consume natural resources in an eco friendly way to help to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
Our objectives are that students
– learn about the consequences of human development for the habitats of animals and plants.
– see how innovations, inventions and campaigning can make a change.
– think about their own possibilities to live eco friendly.
– experience what countries are planning concerning industry and infrastructure to save the planet.
– become aware how important clean energy will be for their future and what they can do to save energy.
– get to know what renewable sources of energy mean and how they are implemented in practice.
– understand what responsible consumption and production means
– realize that an eco friendly lifestyle involves a healthy nutrition
English will be the main language of communication between students and teachers of different schools which leads to a significant improvement of communicative linguistic skills in the world language English.
By working in teams and presenting project works the students will enhance their presenting and ICT skills which will be of great benefit in their future professional life and give them better job perspectives.
As a result the students
– will be aware of the reasons for climate change and the reciprocal effects our actions have on the living conditions of people, animals and plants
– help the schools to go green
– communicate in English
– can present and act in an international environment
– use IT tools to create interactive posters, presentations, a magazine, films
– cooperate in groups and implement a project method into practice
– learn about the culture, traditions, and values of all project countries
– get information about the history of the European Union

Our project involves
a visit to each partner school where at least two activities regarding the chosen topic are realized.
a visit of 5 students and 2 teachers from each partner school to the host school
that each host school provides accommodation for 25 students and 10 teachers in families or hotels
that each host school plans workshops and classes for before the visit and during the visit
Our collection of methods comprises different types of cooperative works, discussions, presentations, exhibitions.
The following groups of participants will take part in the project:
– students of the partner schools
– teachers and other staff of the schools
– parents and members of the local community
– members of local authorities and local institutions cooperating with each partner
We expect that more than 5000 people will be influenced by our different project activities.
Desired long term benefits are:
– participants and their families will be aware of the negative effects of their lifestyle and change it for the benefit of our own health and the environment
– partner schools are open to an international cooperation
– school partnerships can help to promote student exchanges
– students will use English to communicate with their peers from abroad
– the schools will run regularly extra classes on sustainability education
– schools will change their management of resources
– the participating students will be aware of the values of European cultural heritage
