Strategic Partnership Project (Key action no 2) “ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS THROUGH FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL EDUCATION” (ACEAFNE) This intellectual output brings together the experience and the competencies of all participants from Czech Republic, England, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Sweden. Teachers jointly elaborated projects for formal curriculum-integrated activities in different subjects and adapted and improved non-formal activities which were tested at school level. Students, supported by teachers, designed/implemented environmental projects in order to solve the local environmental problems. In this way this guide includes: - practices of work with students: examples of learning activities integrated in the curriculum within various subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, foreign languages, ICT, geography, drawing,native language), examples of non-formal activities; - innovative practices: learning experiences, innovative methods, strategies for active learning, methods of active learning; - environmental projects elaborated and implemented by students with support from teachers; - projects of formal/non-formal activities, elaborated and implemented by every country at their own school level. Romania created the design of the product. This product with instruments/resources jointly realized in cooperation, the exchange/completion of ideas, will ensure the success of the institution together with high quality teaching activities and within a European unitary approach of education for life-long learning and development. The usage of the methodological guide will become common practice at the level of each school even after the project has been finalized. The guide will remain as an open source on the project site and on other Internet spaces where it was published in order to ensure access to a larger scale of users. The printed copy will be distributed locally/regionally in schools. Project products will be uploaded on the EU Dissemination Platform and on eTwinning and will become open educational resources which can be used by persons/institutions interested in a new approach to environmental protection issues. Each project partner hereby assumes full responsibility for the content and authenticity of the matter, facts and things set forth. [2]
