Green Art - nATuRe

Four European schools, one in Germany, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain, which have already been cooperating in several projects successfully over more than eight years are convinced that it is vital to increase the environmental a wareness of our students so that they become responsible European citizens taking actively part in the protection of our unique nature.

Young people are seldom aware of the complexity of the ongoing climate change, so this project aims to show young people the reasons and consequences of it in different European regions and how they can take an active part in the fight against the destruction of our nature. We want our students to understand that global problems can only be solved globally. Therefore it is important for them to learn that numerous contributions are necessary which differ a lot according to seasonal and regional conditions. All countries are suffering from the consequences of the climate change in different ways and all of them have to react to decrease, if possible to stop them. We share the opinion that if we accept creative problem-solving approaches, our students will be more active, feel more involved and hence learn more efficiently in the long run. That is why the project combines environmental protection and art.

Schools cooperating in this project:

• Carl-Friedrich-von-Siemens-Gymnasium, Berlin, Germany

• CS Vincent van Gogh, Assen, the Netherlands

• Instituto de Educación Secundaria López Neyra, Cordoba, Spain

• Gimnazija Tolmin, Tolmin, Slovenia
