About Us

The Erasmus+ "Speak Up to Start Up a Green World" project is a school partnership involving schools from different European countries. 

Among its objectives are:

• To favor the inclusion of students disadvantaged by different obstacles.

• Raise awareness of the importance of caring for the environment and develop a sense of responsibility, sustainable and proactive behavior.

• To acquire experience and skills in the use of ICT tools.

• To develop an active learning mode through STEAM and TEAL methodologies.

• Provide environmentally friendly methodologies.

We will address local environmental problems and seek solutions with students through methodologies such as STEAM and TEAL. For this we will carry out these activities:

• Training activities for teachers (STEAM and TEAL).

• Visits to natural areas, science museums and environmental centres in the participating countries.

• Pedagogical activities through STEAM and TEAL methodologies, involving all students.

• STEAM and TEAL workshops.

• Debates, podcast and audio recording.

• ICT activities and use of eTwinning (ESEP).

• Visits to European institutions to present pupils' proposals.

• Dissemination activities.

Some of the results we hope to achieve are:

• An educational Guide "Protecting the environment and combating climate change" with methodological guidelines and inclusive strategies, 

• Newsletters.

• The project website.

• Podcast and summary videos.

• A STEAM classroom in each school.
