"This project is a KA2 strategic partnerships which aims at raising awareness on Climate Change as well as enabling students to be active and find innovative solutions in the face of the challenges ahead. The 4 partner institutions are collège Christine de Pisan, Ataturk Ortaokutu, Istituto comprensivo and CP Alberto Alcocer and we mean to involve around 800 students (aged between 8 and 15) and more than 15 teachers.Context : Having already started an etwinning project on Global Warming, we decided that the next step would be to take actual action in the decarboning of our world. The Erasmus + program seemed to us to be perfect for that purpose as it gave us time and funds. In those two years, we will first take great care to give as much information and knowledge as possible to our students, sharing intelligence and good practices from our different countries and giving our pupils all they need to come up with valuable ideas and to get involved in the changes we must all make tomorrow. Objectives : Our primary objective is to help our young people understand and address the impact of global warming today and increase their ""climate literacy"" so as to encourage changes in their attitudes and behavior and help them adapt to climate change-related trends, while providing a strong focus on empowering them to take an active role in the solutions to environmental challenges.We also want our students to learn to cooperate and carry out projects while learning to master digital technology. We would like to train our pupils to act responsibly and to respect the rules of collecting living especially in the face of different cultures but also to take initiatives and commit themselves. We also aim to carry out objectives 13 (climate action )and 17 (partnerships for the goals) of the UN sustainable development goals.Description of activities :During the 1st year, the focus will be on imparting scientifically proven knowledge based on the most recent IPCC reports in order both to raise awareness but also to inform the students thoroughly. After designing a project logo, they will therefore take part in the Climate Collage workshop which is a fun and instructive way to introduce the subject and raise interesting questions in their young minds. Researches will then follow which will be shared on google slides leading on to a collaborative Kahoot in March. And in May 2021, we will meet to make a collaborative video with the purpose of raising public awareness. In the 2nd year, we will help our charges take action and engage in the fight for sustainable development. After doing an inventory with collaborative slides, students will set to work on possible actions they could take locally. In April, they will choose which action(s) they will implement and in May 2022 they will meet again to put words into actions. A collaborative video will also be shot to summarize the different actions.Methodology : Our methodology is designed to make the classroom experience more lovable to students by encouraging their creativity and making them want to explore on their own. We will encourage different ideas and give them the freedom to explore. In addition to all this, the learning-by-doing process will enable students to acquire transversal skills that will be extremely useful in their future lives: team work, critical observation, cooperation, negotiation, problem solving, resilience, creative thinking. Results and impact : All the pupils trained to facilitate the Climate collage will be able to raise the awareness of their peers but also of relatives and friends outside of school. Awareness being the prerequisite for action, we expect to see results not only in schools but also in the local community. The collaborative videos we make will be posted online for a wider audience. The Kahoot will be used as a teaching tool in classes. And the local shows highlighting the pupils' research will be there for students and parents to see. All the school community will be able to participate to the school dissemination and training events. Once outcomes are ready, there will be public dissemination events to promote the student's innovative ideas on how to limit climate change.Local Education will be involved and will sustain the project by making results available through their platforms. Local media will be invited to official events in order to understand the potential of the project and advertise it. Thanks to a Project Website all the ideas will be made available to a wider number of users, for an unlimited period of time.Our common goal is to teach in a positive environment, to students who are happy to attend school, and we strongly believe our project will give our bows some extra arrows to shoot. The aim is to make them ready to meet the world challenges with a stronger sense of who they are, what they know and their potential to adapt to and maybe change their environment for the better."
