Project Summary

The project has involved all the pupils of the four participating schools in working with the concept “sustainable development” in an interdisciplinary approach.The schools that are involved in the project have been working together successfully before and have understood the added value of European cooperation and citizenship. The objectives of this project are to target pupils with low skills and early school leaving, as well as making every pupil at our schools more conscious about how to be part of a European “sustainable development” .The methodology that was used was to involve pupils with low skills aged between 15 and 17 in organizing four topical workshops. They worked on four different issues linked to the the main subject “sustainable development”. They had some days during which the issue chosen by the school was presented in a very concrete and interdisciplinary way . Then they had one day to work on a proposal on how their newly gained knowledge may be implemented in the content of a “sustainable development day” for all/a majority of the pupils of the school that they were visiting. These sustainable development days had both an international as well as an interdisciplinary perspective to them about the issues that had been chosen.
