Project Summary

TripleS – Students Support Sustainibility
In TripleS 10- to 12-year-olds from Croatia, Romania and Germany explore ways to face climate change. They gain knowledge to save the climate and use their creativity to spread their knowledge in a song. The song will be composed collaboratively and in its production, recording and performance students experience European unity as they face a fundamental threat to their future.
The topic of TripleS ties in with the global interest of very many young people in slowing down climate change and offers ample opportunity to act both environmentally and climate friendly at local and international level. Creativity of young learners is used to find ways of expressing facts and feelings linked to the project’s topic and to be an inspiration to other locals who might feel the same and share the interest of TripleS. During the production of the song and the video young learners experience collaborative work in international groups as one means to solve an existential problem.
The song and the accompanying video pick up the main focuses of TripleS: sustainability in food, consumer behaviour and mobility. Various workshops deal with each focus during and in between short-term exchanges of groups of pupils. These workshops and short term projects go alongside with the song composition, production and recording which require strong international cooperation of the three project partners who have agreed to use eTwinning as their means of communication, documentation and evaluation. The three schools contribute towards the project with different skills. The German school has a solid background in music, the Romanian school is experienced in dancing with large groups and the Croatian school is skilled in making traditional instruments. All teams share the interest to act towards saving the climate and are very open to exchange at global and European level. The partners of TripleS intend to further develop their skills both as individuals and as a team of teachers and they plan to include more sustainability issues in their schools’ profiles. Additionally, they aim at inspiring fellow learners and people from their local communities towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
At each partner school between 80 and 150 students are frequently involved in project activities. In their work they continuously combine intellectual work on content issues and creative work on the shared song and the accompanying video. The project teachers hope for interesting exchange, inspiring collaboration und peaceful European experience for all participants of TripleS.
