YOUNG CITIZENS FOR A CHANGE 

What is the Young Citizens for a change project about?

The Young Citizens for a Change: Citizenship inquiry project At the heart of the project is the belief that mobile technology offers an opportunity to improve environmental education. Wireless learning technologies allow learning to extend beyond the four walls of our classrooms and the hours of the school day. In this project, the students are participants in it, working together with the members of all the participating countries, exchanging opinions, activities and work proposals for change. 5 students from each country carry out mobility to the other participating countries sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, jointly carrying out project activities and discussing proposals on how to contribute to change for the environment.


Specifically, the objectives of the project are:


Involve young people in a citizen research project based on a topic of environmental importance and concern in their locality. Using mobile technologies to transform environmental education.

Train teachers to design and carry out learning activities that integrate mobile technologies into their pedagogical methods, through the prism of environmental issues.

Widely disseminate activities and approaches that use mobile learning technologies to enhance students' skills during educational activities.

The program involves schools from three other European countries, Norway, Italy and Greece. The teachers from our school who participated in the work of the meeting were the teachers of the Erasmus+ team.

Create a training resource that helps faculty and students design and implement their own citizen inquiry projects.

The planned activities of the project include theoretical-practical case studies, in which mobile phone technology is used for the development of activities that promote environmental education.
