The idea of creating this project is to make our students aware of the rapidly increasing consumption tendencies. We need to take precautions today so that our scarce resources can’t supply our unlimited needs more and we need to educate our students in the direction of consumption tendencies. With eTwinning platform and discussion that we started with our previous partners, we noticed that the students at secondary school level weren’t sensitive about saving as they were in the changing technological era and that the consumption on the internet and they reflected them to the real life. Our project topic is one of the most important problems of our partners and the world we live in. We have determined our priority work that the environment which we live in should be left untouched to the future. Although the creation of environmental awareness has been given as a course, we have seen that our children can’t provide learning, that permanent behaviors don’t occur, they aren’t applied as life skills. In order to make these behaviors practicable in real life, we have determined that we will raise awareness when we carry out awareness studies with students and their families. In partnership with the students, their parents will also take part actively in the project. Families will see their consumption tendencies and will be able to convert this consumption tendencies to the saving. We will especially increase awareness of electricity, water and ecological consumption. We will be able to take precautions today by identifying the harm which is given to the nature by families with their consumption tendencies. If our students are educated with a tendency of consciously consume at a young age, they will use it in their future lives so we will have the chance to protect our rapidly depleted resources. As a result of carbon, water, and ecological footprint calculation, we will calculate the tree which needs to plant by each student (family) and then we’ll plant them. We will minimize the carbon, water and ecological footprint of our students and their families. We will create a project forest where our partners are located. We’ll give water, renewable energy and ecological saving education to our students and their families. Our partnership is formed from secondary school level students. For the reason that we will calculate the carbon, water and ecological footprint during our project, our families who are in different income levels will be an indispensable part of the project. We will get help from families during our footprint calculation. Raising awareness of our students about consumption, determining the consumption tendencies of their families and providing saving training and budget management training will enable efficient use of scarce resources. In partnership with the students, their parents will also play an active role in the project.We’ve created our project according to the 3R rule.REUSE: We will increase awareness of how to reuse waste that can be reused in school and at home. We will organize campaigns for reuse throughout the project. For example (waste collection, waste oil collection, waste paper collection)REDUCE: We will work on determining and reducing consumption tendencies of students and families of partner schools.RECYCLE: We will raise awareness about recycling. During the project, we will work together with the local administrations in the areas where the schools are located and we will carry out activities on the collection and recycling of wastes.Our project will be carried out transnational. Our students will have chance to see the consumption and saving tendencies of their peers and their families in different age groups in different countries. They will be able to see that environmental problems aren’t only a problem of their own country.Transnational mobility will increase the motivation of our students, improve their language and they will have the opportunity to learn by living in different cultures. Students from different countries will conduct workshops where they will produce models and prototypes of renewable energy resources with group work in transnational meetings. Renewable energy models made by students will be offered to the local community to raise awareness for the project position and to increase the visibility of the project. In our transnational mobility for our project, we will plant amount of trees with the students and local people that need to be planted according to the carbon footprint. The meeting will be held for activities in which students will work together in all partner countries. The project will be carried out transnational so that students can work together on global warming, environmental problems and proposals for solutions for them.
