LECLIC -”Living in the Era of Climate Change” is a two years international project which uses innovative trends of STE(A)M curriculum, Cloud computing and Competence Driving to raise students awareness on environmental issues and climate change.Students, teachers involved in the project will reflect on the need of a behavioral change in their families lifestyle to mitigate climate change through the analysis of: the bidirectional relationship between lifestyle and climate change, the analysis of the current lifestyles and the quality of life of their european region, and making proposals on how they can change their habits in a big way so as to improve the current and future lifestyle.The involved students and teachers will explore innovative STE(A)M curriculum, they will participate and create Virtual reality resources and they will use cloud computing (Google site, drive and eTwinning) for creating documents, presentations, fulfill assessments, communicate and share the information created. The pedagogical principles for STE(A)M curriculum integration will be the use of methodologies: process based learning, inquiring and collaboration.Different activities have been created for face-to-face and on-line work in international teams to emulate students and teachers participation in four LECLIC Climate Change conferences Results of those activities will be google drive cloud storage of documents, logo of the project as consequence of a contest between students of the four participating schools, poster and brochure with information of the aims of the LECLIC project, school participants and meeting, eTwinning TwinSpace with all the information and documents, teaching materials corresponding to STE(A)M activities (methodologies, worksheets and implementation documents), students presentations (of their school, educational system, city, country, climate change and lifestyle in their region), Videos or photos and written reports of the STE(A)M technical visits to business eco-friendly, research and bio-medical institutions, bilateral webinars for international interchange of ideas on climate change and lifestyle, film product of the short-term contest on how to mitigate climate change and LECLIC google site.Four Secondary junior schools will participate in the projects. The four schools are sited close to the sea, in cities or small towns where different effects of climate change are observed (such as floods, increase of temperature, increase of the salinity of the water).Teachers with different backgrounds (especially from STE(A)M) subjects) will ensure ethic, scientific and social achievement of the objectives. The teacher training will help them to configure their professional problems on designing, implementing an STE(A)M curriculum in the informal setting of the project meetings and increase their capabilities concerning how to integrate it in school curriculum.Equal opportunities will be given to the students (ages 12 to 16) considering their special needs, demotivation, gender and immigration condition. The project will benefit them from enlarging their knowledge on climate change causes and consequences and their lifestyle. Students will develop global competences on critical thinking on the causes and consequences of climate change, on creative thinking to analyze their lifestyle and undertaking actions that could change their behavior on how to mitigate climate change. Working on cooperative international teams will improve students’ English language skills and will increase their understanding of the daily life, culture and language of consortium countries.In the long term, the participation in the project will help students to continue their STE(A)M or vocational studies with a background of global competences that will promote a real inclusion in the workforce in the Era of Climate Change. For teachers, the participation in the project will benefit in increasing their Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge on STE(A)M subjects, climate change and developing English skills to use them in their everyday teaching and participating in other KA229 actions.Globally, the participation in the project will help schools to project the good practices that they develop and challenge other teachers and schools to innovate. For its sustaining, the project and spread it, the LECLIC google drive, eTwinning TwinSpace and School Gateway will provide other teachers, students and families with the materials to freely download and use it. The pedagogical and methodological principles of its use will be published in national and international conferences of good practices in the STE(A)M curriculum to help other teachers and schools on the use of these materials.
