Summary of the project
Environment protection is a priority of the
contemporary world, retraced in the Lisbon Strategy and
then continued in the 2020 EU Strategy through the EU
Environment Action Program to 2020. In accordance with
EU educational policies, the eight schools focused on
finding the most efficient and attractive strategies of
approaching the field of ecology at formal/non-formal level,
and the joint creation of “transnational” teaching materials
that can be used in any European country, justified the
necessity of this partnership. The aim of this project was to
develop by multinational cooperation (exchange of good
practices, use of innovative practices based on collaborative
learning, critical thinking, ICT strategic use) instruments/
methodologies/ strategies to facilitate teaching/learning
within the long-standing education context especially for the
environment.
We had the following goals:
1) Improvement of ecological knowledge, abilities and
work competencies formally/non-formally for the
115 teachers of the nine partner schools with the
purpose of developing a responsible attitude towards
the environment within the educational/local
communities of their origin.
2) Development of competencies of 375 students in
identifying environmental needs and problems in the
communities they belonged to and in initiating,
implementing projects with the purpose of improving
environment quality.
