Project Summary

The project wants to study and propose sustainable lifestyle products based on innovation, competitiveness and sustainability. Also we’d like to show the importance of new work formulas based on collaborative economy. Sustainable lifestyle concepts are an important way for using and employing our partner’s European territory with ist natural potential and its cultural traditional heritage based on a sustainable development and for the advantage of every European citizen. With this project work we want to make our students aware about those common values and developing a responsible and willing behaviour for respecting and preserving those common goods and taking advantage of them for the future.
Our selected students are concerned about the consequences of environmental problems on our daily life and interested in sustainable development of local environment and a responsible way of living. As for the general methodology the students will work in collaborative international groups of students in order to investigate on the European dimension of education. By widening their knowledge about the importance of youth participation all project members will gain knowledge on how to encourage young people to be active and promote active citizenship through sustainability.
By developing ideas on how to increase an interest in sustainable lifestyle concepts among local communities we will gain new knowledge on the development for local communities.
Finally, our project products serve to share experience and best practices in creating topic related projects. With the activities planned we intend to give value to the respective resources of each territory from the educational and economic point of view. In the long run, with our project, we aim at fostering the innovational sense of the younger generations as our new insights, achieved by this project, will create an important concern for using and employing each country‘s great potential based on the principle of sustainable development and for the advantage of every European citizen. Education of young people must refer to make them aware about those common values.Thanks to the various mobilities and the resulting collaboration, our students will increase their awareness of the need to develop a responsible and willing behaviour for respecting and preserving those common goods and capitalizing them for the future through sustainable thinking.
A key focus of the project is to develop a synergy between sustainable strategies and environmental education and to implement the results into youth life using the context of sustainable lifestyle. Upon completion of the project a framework to do this will exist. The framework will consist of defined pedagogical processes within sustainable approach. This framework will have utility as an extension of the existing project for future participant schools not directly involved in this project. In addition the framework will be transferable for collaborative studies of other environmental issues at local, regional, national or international level. Students and staff will use the learning and teaching outcomes generated by the project to enhance their own work in this field by using the project outcomes as template for their own work and private life to hopefully change their mind and way of living into an eco-friendlier manner. Students who are not directly involved into the project but who are concerned regarding sustainability, e.g. in the research lab of our school, will be informed by the students of the project. Students directly involved in the mobilities will gain to create insight by experience into global environmental issues and conservation measures which exist in response to these issues.
