Project Summary

Our new project “The Art of Recycling and Reuse” will be carried out by the participation of five schools: Istituto Di Istruzione Superiore “Benedetti – Tommaseo” Venice (Italy) , Gymnasium Altona Hamburg (Germany), I.I.S.S. Majorana-Laterza Putignano (Italy), “Lycée Général et Technologique Jean-Baptiste De Baudre” Agen (France) and I.E.S. San Sebastián Huelva (Spain). The five of us are highly skilled in TESL, ICT and have previously collaborated in COMENIUS projects with a satisfactory outcome to the whole community.

It has been chosen following the AIMS specified in Europe 2020 Targets and Erasmus + in order to improve the DIGITAL competence through the use of ICTs as an important means in the development of the activities proposed; to enhance cleanliness and ENVIRONMENT preservation within and outside our educational environment, to provide strong foundations for its SUSTAINABILITY in the future to change the look of our schools and surroundings in terms of : neatness, organization, handling of resources, changes of mentality cutting down on unnecessary shopping (mobile phones, electronic devices), improvement of the state of our rivers, beaches, lakes and parks. It is an integrating project where European VALUES will be fostered.

To achieve these goals, a set of comprehensive ACTIVITIES have been planned both by students and teachers at the different schools: an online platform to provide a second life to the recycled material, a website designed to capture and spread performed activities, partner communication of the process achievement through e-Twinning, at-school recycling of batteries, paper, books, plastic, electronic components, clean-up journeys to beaches or river banks and an eco-friendly garden.

Our METHODOLOGY will enhance an active participation of the community motivating them by means of varied, realistic and viable awareness activities, as well as an objective evaluation of results through observation, questionnaires or surveys.

The expected IMPACT of the project will be the improvement in the attitudes of citizens to reusing materials and to short and long-term environmental concern. Spreading the project RESULTS through the mass media to increase benefit is intended.
