“Heritage: act now to save the future” is a project led by 6 high schools between 2018 and 2021, financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+ Program (key action 2). This project aims at finding practical means to fight the causes of climate change, and at protecting and promoting natural and cultural heritages. It lays on the celebration of the Year of European Heritage and on the context stressing the need for an urgent and global action on environmental issues such as pollution and global warming. The main objectives of our project are:-making students take part in the process to change their high school by creating challenges and daily life habit changes. -promoting motivation at school in order to reduce school disengagement risks-creating healthy competition and including students in the project-enabling students to define the idea of heritage, to know and to make people know their own heritage-discovering the heritages in the countries being part of the project, their issues and their problems-allowing students to speak up to protect and promote heritages-exchanging teaching methods within the groups of schools being part in the projectThis partnership includes 6 schools with students from 14 to 18 years old, from 6 European regions such as Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, France (2 schools) and Spain. Through the project, students discover the wide range of traditions, cultures and heritages of these 6 European regions thanks to preparatory works, video sharing, and various activities organised by students during the meetings. The inner differences between these schools contribute to a global understanding of european culture and heritage as well as climate change and environmental issues. A European culture and a wide cultural and language openness animate every school in the project, which is also dealing with issues such as the integration of disabled students or socially-precarious students, as well as school disengagement.Here is a list of organised activities::-psychosocial activities: contacting each other by e-mails, messages on Facebook, on ETwinning, livening things up thanks to games and group creative works, ensuring communication through letter writing.-Activities to discover heritages : presentations, visits of emblematic sites-artistic activities: workshops, creative works, poster creation-debates: dialogues and in-situ or virtual meetings-activities to write and to read speeches-article and poem writingHere is the list of fulfillments:-Various works published in websites, Facebook pages and on ETwinning. -Increased self esteem and motivation-A better knowledge of heritages and the strategies to promote and protect them-Initiation to environmental issues: changing individual and group habits through global and daily life actions. -Keeping contact and brainstorming thanks to online meetings -High rating of the project by parents and school community -Acknowledgement of the project by the region Departments of EducationIdentified Impacts and benefits of this project can be linked to the following elements::-The involvement of schools in heritages and environment have modified their own school culture, getting a local highlight through press articles, selection in various challenges and competitive exams, eco friendly labels, creation or strengthening of links between schools and local authorities -investing the new knowledges and know-hows of students into other projects such as a partnership with Political Sciences School (for a French school), or the preparation of the French final oral exam of Upper High School-the commitment of fellow students in associations created up by students having been part of the project-a global involvement in reducing waste, water and energy use -a practical conception of the role of Europe in every citizen daily life (projects once financed then valued and broadcast)-durability of the project through an active Facebook page and two dedicated websites
