Project Summary

SEE THE BEAUTY, SAVE THE PLANET

There are a lot of projects concerning environmental issues and climate change, since this is a global concern. There is also a lot of discussion about the anxiety these subjects cause on young people. This project wants to present a positive approach to the matter by finding the beauty in nature and the environment surrounding us, and this way deepen the pupils´ relationship with nature and promote the desire to preserve it.

All countries are facing environmental issues, the problem is collective. That is why our aim with this project is to unite young people in our partner countries to meet, reflect and find solutions together for a better future.

Pupils will experience the environment and its beauty through photography, video and art. This project will also build up pupils´ digital skills in photography and video and by contributing for the creation of a website for the project. They will learn how to use media and art in order to influence other people in a positive way.

The project will also increase the expertise in CLIL methodology through collaboration with other partner schools using the same methodology.

The main objectives are: to increase pupils´ awareness on environment issues, to increase language skills, to learn about other cultures and countries and their ways of acting on climate change and to create a network of schools to work with in the future.

Methods for the activities are multidisciplinary learning, learning by doing, learning through sharing and discussions.

The expected results are: growing awareness of environmental issues, improvement of students’ language skills, sharing new teaching ideas and the implement of sustainable actions in schools. Also, we expect to develop and improve CLIL methodology in lessons and all activities of the project and to develop and share original lessons plan on the topic of the project, using CLIL, and make them available, with creative commons licenses.

The long-term benefits are a deeper understanding in environmental matters and cultures, new ideas and methods and how to use them in our teaching in the future. We will also be able to build a network of teachers and schools around Europe, sharing thoughts and values that will increase our competence as teachers.
