Description of the activity
Focused on reusing waste in an innovative and creative way. Exchanging ideas and creating creative, artistic, or useful objects. The work was presented at an art exhibition at school. Through workshops and theater presentations, students shared some ideas about how to adjust Circular Economy in their local environment.
Presentations, workshops, discussions and debates, excursions, seminars, and roleplay activities took place. Specifically:
Presentation of the Portuguese school and the school system
All countries presented what they have done so far. Additional presentations and videos of partner countries:
All countries presented all their actions and activities about reusing waste and promoting recycling in their school and local community.
They demonstrated their artistic creations and explained the methods they used and how their creations contribute to the circular
economy.
Greece presented a seminar and workshop about Circular Economy.
Sweden gave a theatrical and musical performance about Circular Economy and its influence on everyday life.
Discussions, debates, and evaluations of the videos and presentations.
Learning/teaching/training activities:
Seminar and workshop by Dr Amos from OLSPS, on Sustainable Fishing. Learned the modern techniques for sustainable fishing.
Workshops:
How to make:
Homemade detergent: Local students produced an ecological detergent made from black soap, water, and carbonate for domestic use on soil and ceramic surfaces. The eco-detergent is being commercialized in the school, under the brand of TILL (example of entrepreneurship). The packaging is glass, reusable.
Seaweed pudding: make puddings based on seaweed with agar agar.
Make jewelry out of old t-shirts, by the Greek team.
Visits to:
The town hall, talks with the mayor and local representatives about environmental issues.
Wastewater plan, learn about the process it’s been used to clean up the water.

Evaluation of the program from participants. Got feedback and shared their views on climate change and the options on how to act.
The above activities were integrated into different classes: Physics, Chemistry, Technology, Art, Theater, Music, and English Classes.
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?
This activity promoted the artistic, creative, and innovative skills of the students. The students exchanged ideas and come up together with new ways of reusing materials and how they can contribute to the circular economy. This increased the levels of achievement and interest in technology, chemistry, engineering, economics, and art.
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, brainstorming, role-plays, and other activities. During the project, they were making out new artistic, unique, and useful objects which will be one of the outputs of the project.
digital - the participants prepared their presentations, created 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. Have new experiences.
analytical - the participants will develop their analytical skills when they analyze environmental problems and make soap and pudding out of environmentally friendly materials. Thinking about how reusing and reducing materials influence the circular economy.
