Fostering Competences of Students and Teachers for the Future in line with “New Green Deal Regulations”

Description

<< Background >>Environment and fight against climate change was chosen as the main priority in the project. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world. The world is warming day by day. It is impossible for natural life and humans to adapt to this rapid change. According to data from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a temperature rise of 1.5°C could lead to the extinction of 20-30% of species. If the temperature rise exceeds 2°C, many ecosystems may come to an end. (www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/)The European Green Deal seeks to involve people, communities and organizations in tackling the climate crisis and creating a green order. Although its sphere of influence is limited to Europe, the efforts of Europe to become carbon-neutral by 2050 will affect the whole world. The presence of 12 legal regulations in the articles of the agreement and the existence of sanctions for the countries that have commercial relations with Europe will take the fight against climate change forward. In this direction, it is aimed to reduce the carbon emissions of the European continent by 55% until 2030. (ec.europa.eu/clima/eu-action/european-green-deal_en)Therefore, the main purpose of the project is to raise awareness among the guidance teachers and guide the our students, who are the adults of the future, and to involve them in the fight against the climate crisis. Supporting the green transformation of educational content, learning about the investment and career opportunities created by the European Green Deal's Just Transition Mechanism principle will expand the field of action of teachers and strengthen them. In addition, the big green changes that the European Green Deal targets will create in the sectors show that job descriptions, career goals and entrepreneurship understanding will also change. It will be an important step for counselors to adopt climate goals, add environmental equipment to their profession, and guide students towards green career goals. Through this Project students will have an opportunity from young their age to be equipped with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to address green deal transformation and prepare themselves for the green jobs of the future. Even today, young people and children appear as important figures in the fight against the climate crisis and can mobilize global organizations. Finally, Poland, which produces more than 70% of its energy production with fossil fuels, is the European country that needs this change the most. Therefore, it will be a real hope for the future for teachers and students to adapt to change before it is too late.<< Objectives >>School teachers are the key to reaching European Green Deal aims. They play central role in engaging students for behavioral changes However, teachers need to upgrade their knowledge and skills, and enhance their teaching methodologies to quide students on the green deal transformation process. In line with this information, the target groups of the project are guidance teachers, other trainers and students as final beneficiaries. Because teachers are the ones who can create change, raise awareness, put ideas into practice and influence students in the short term. In the long term, it is students who will shape the entire future. Within this context, the overall objective of our project is to build a capacity in secondary education on the European Green Deal and prepare students for their future “green” careers. Specific objectives are -To enhance guidance teachers’ capacity on environment and climate change and green skills so that they can support and guide students on European green deal transformation. -To create leaders among the target groups who will defend the green future-To promote an environmentally friendly mindset among school students -To raise the awareness of the teachers, students and families within the scope of the European Green Deal.<< Implementation >>The activities of the project are prepared in order to achieve the objectives and results of the project and to achieve the expected effects. Project activities will be discussed under five headings. These activities are the production of project results, Transnational Meetings, Multiplier Events and dissemination, Eco Career Days and Green Ideas Exhibition.Within the scope of the project, three project results will be produced. The first project result will be the Green Career Guide. The guide will include guidance teachers and students. In this way, the two most important elements in school education will meet with ecological goals. Teachers who use the Green Career Guide and participate in other project activities will find that they can add new dimensions to their profession. They will step out of their professional habits and take part in a movement initiated for the fight against climate change and the future of the world. This will increase their leadership skills and enable them to become stronger as equipment. In this way, they will be able to guide students towards European Green Deal goals and grounded career plans. Students using the green career guide will gain important awareness about the climate crisis. They will learn the necessary ecological information to save the world they live in and they will turn into eco individuals. In addition to correcting their own habits, they will harmonize their career plans with the sector thanks to the guide. They will be able to build their future realistically by learning concepts such as green career, eco-entrepreneurship and green collar. In short, target groups will become eco-individuals by increasing their ecological literacy. Finally, the guide will present roadmaps for a school to become carbon-neutral.The Green Age Platform will be the driving force for users to switch to an ecological life and learn about their carbon footprints. It will enable students to participate in more job opportunities, international events and climate activities. Because announcements will be posted on the platform frequently. Access to developments and news about climate change will be easier. The level of digital literacy will increase. Scientific aspects of the climate crisis will be learned. In this way, information pollution and myths will be prevented. Thanks to the platform, users will be able to overcome geographical and economic barriers that they can meet. With magazine, the last of the project results, awareness of paper waste will be increased. This will indirectly be a good step against problems such as environmental pollution, energy consumption and deforestation. People will find that other recycled materials besides paper can also be used for print.Transnational Meetings will increase the quality of the production of project results, monitoring and evaluation activities, budget and time management, communication and coordination processes. Multiplier Events and dissemination efforts will increase the impact of the project to much higher levels than anticipated. In this way, the project will reach the goals of the European Green Deal and affect many people ecologically.Eco Career Days and Green Ideas Exhibition will enable many students to be reached concretely. All of the project objectives will become concrete in these activities to be held under physical conditions. During career days, students will be directed to green jobs and meet face-to-face with representatives of green collar and eco-entrepreneurship. In this way, they will understand the seriousness of the changes in the sector and make future plans. The Green Ideas Exhibition will not compete with children but will value all ideas. In this way, students' self-confidence, motivation, participation, soft skills and active citizenship will develop. Students will learn to step into things without fear.<< Results >>The project is about the climate crisis, which concerns the whole world and has a global public opinion, and reducing carbon emissions to zero. Especially European countries have started to work in every field to reduce carbon emissions to zero. Therefore, the project will produce various outputs and activities to contribute to the European Green Deal goals (especially in the field of school education). These outputs and activities will produce tangible results. During and after the project, it is expected that other results such as awareness of climate change, organization to fight climate crisis, development of soft skills will occur.Expected results:- Career guides in line with the European Green Deal targets will be produced for school counselors and students.- The career guide will contain important information on sectors that are undergoing great change. This information will be information such as at what points the change is and what the innovations are. In this way, students will be able to shape their future according to the green order.- Counselors will be able to add concepts such as eco-entrepreneurship, green collar, green industry, clean transportation, renewable energy to their profession thanks to the career guide. In this way, they will be able to make their profession interesting and gain new equipment and qualifications.- A digital platform (Green Age Platform) will be created where information on environmental pollution and climate change is included, and news of the European Green Deal and other environmentalist movements are shared. This platform will include business opportunities for green careers and academic texts that will eliminate information pollution. Users (especially the target groups of the project) will be able to add content, comment and create events.- The Green Age Platform will provide students with a space to act on the digital platform. For counselors, it will be a new channel through which they can reach students.- As the users of the Green Age Platform increase, students from different cultures, languages, geography and economic levels will come together for the same purpose. Counselors will also meet their colleagues and increase their level of relationship and communication.- During and after the project, Eco Career Days will be held with the participation of sector representatives, managers of private and public institutions. During the career days, people from the sector will directly tell the students about the sectors, green business and career fields, eco-entrepreneurship, and the new order that started to take place with the European Green Deal. In this way, the information to be conveyed by the guidance teachers will become concrete.- All of the partner institutions will ask their students for ecological business ideas and project drafts on the work to be done for the transition to the green order. These ideas will be displayed at the Green Ideas Exhibition after the project. In this way, students' soft skills and active citizenship will develop and their self-confidence will increase.- Positive contributions will be made to digital literacy level and foreign language proficiency.- During and after the project, a magazine will be produced covering the topics of the European Green Deal, reducing the carbon footprint to zero, combating the climate crisis, and an ecological life guide. This magazine will be prepared with recycled materials and in a virtual environment. The use of recycled materials will create effective awareness. Magazine will be published every three months and its sustainability will be ensured. In particular, interviews and studies of sector representatives and eco-entrepreneurs who have started the green change will be included.- Partner institutions will learn the practices in other countries in the field of school education and combating climate change. In this way, they will be able to work for the areas where they are insufficient.
