Project Summary

Climate change is undoubtedly a reality that affects us as a society nowadays. Considering the fact that in order to achieve a global change in this matter, we have to start locally and above all start taking small steps to gradually produce a change of mentality that will result in a greater environmental awareness in people’s behaviour. Regarding this premise and taking into account the relevance of the “Fridays for future”
demostrations for our students, we have decided, as an educational community, to take these ideas and put them into practice, and thus take small steps from our school towards a global movement.
Therefore, we want to create and implement a climate protection plan adapted to each school and each reality. Specifically, this means that five countries (Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Turkey) will participate in the exchanges, in each of them, the host school will propose a measure that can be applied in the school, for example, how to handle with waste separation or how to reduce water consumption or how to foster regional product consumption and so on. During the time between exchanges all schools will test and discuss whether this measure could be applicable to their school and reality. So at the end of the whole project there will be five measures available, of which at least two must be applied in the schools.If possible, the second measure should be taken out of the five available ones. The two measures and their explanation will be brought out in a brochure to be available for the whole school community. In total, about 40 people are going to participate among students and teachers. The exchanges will be extended over a period of 24 months. Communication will be carried out through digital media, e-Twinning and e-mails, that will allow the formation of international teams to do the following activities: exchange on success and problems about the concret measure chosen by the schools. The language used as a means of communication will be English which will lead to improving the language competence among the particpants and to bridging the gap between cultures by using it as a means of communication.
