Description of the activity
The activity was approached from a scientific point of view. Presentations, workshops, discussions and debates, excursions, seminars, and roleplay activities took place. Specifically:
presentation of the German school and their school system
All countries presented what they did so far. Additional presentations and videos of partner countries are:
Portugal presented their project “The ocean starts here”. All their actions and activities about recycling rubbish, and promoting recycling in their school.
Germany presented their project “#howtoclimatechange” and how they configure creative and innovative ways to make their school greener and the scientific explanation of it.
Greece held a presentation about their school and what they did so far and what they studied about the scientific aspect of why Recycling and Reusing.
Cyprus presented on recycling and its different types. Different systems of recycling were introduced, giving an insight in the technological perspective of It.
discussions, debates, evaluations of the videos, and presentations.
Learning/teaching/training activities:
Seminar and workshop by Sven Achtermann- “Personal experiences of climate change”. Encouraging students to make a change use. Point out that the future is in their hands, they need to claim their rights.
Workshops:
The “Plastic Pirates” project from cooperating universities in Germany, Portugal, and Slovenia, aimed to learn more about the water quality in different countries and areas. Participants get to be a part of scientific research. The results are uploaded on a platform, where everyone can see and compare the results concerning the quality of water and the amount of microplastic in it. https://www.plastic-pirates.eu/en/results/data/5592
“The Ocean starts here – I and II”. Brainstorming ideas for the project. Ideas and drafts were painted with chalk to create awareness about the pollution of our oceans. The project aims at reducing plastic waste and creating a deeper awareness of the consequences of dumping rubbish in our nature.
Visit the Klimahaus in Bremerhaven, to learn and “visit” the different climate zones. Participated in interactive activities.
Theater and music performance about Science and Environment called: “My Name is Joe” by the Greek team
Guided tour in Hannover and see all the places of interest
Project completion – review and perspectives
Students were asked about their opinions on the workshops and mobility in general. They gave feedback and shared their views on climate change and the options on how to act.
The above activities were integrated into different classes like Physics, Technology, Art, Theater, Music, and English Classes. class.
The result of this activity will be an action protocol as well as a booklet with guidelines and material to work on environmental issues from a scientific point of view.
This activity will be previously included in the annual school programming of every partner school.
How did the participation in this activity benefit the involved participants?
The students learned about the scientific approach to recycling and reusing. This increased the levels of achievement and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Their thoughts and ideas about how to change and improve their environment were stimulated. Getting to know the scientific aspect of this environmental problem can trigger innovative ideas of how to improve the already existing methods.
The participants developed the following competencies:
communication and language competencies - the workshops, presentations, discussions, debates, and other events at the meetings in mixed international groups so that the participants of the project meetings could develop their language skills, improve their pronunciation, extend their vocabulary, and practice their communication skills.
creative - the participants of the project improved their creative competencies, through workshops, role-plays, and other activities. During the project, they were concerned and think how to improve already existing methods or new ways of reusing materials, which will be one of the outputs of the project.
digital - the participants prepared their presentations, create outputs and communicate with their peers from the partner schools using ICT tools. (presentations, communication among the students, the webpage of the project, Facebook group, e-Twinning, etc.)
increasing cultural and social awareness -students from different cultures and social environments will compare similarities and differences between the partner countries.
analytical - the participants will develop their analytical skills when they analyze environmental problems, and measurements of water, and think about how reusing and reducing materials can help eliminate them.
