This Teacher’s Handbook is designed to support teachers in delivering the Erasmus+ project “Think globally, act locally” aims into the classroom. With numerous digital tools and step-by-step guides on how to use it and tens of lesson plan examples connected to the theme of sustainability, we hope it to be a source of useful information that could easily be implemented into your classrooms.

The Erasmus project has had a positive impact on students' involvement in sustainability activities. They are aware that their behavior can influence sustainable development, which gives hope for a brighter future. Students are willing to participate in environmental activities both at school and in the local community, and they are greatly encouraged to do so by activities in Erasmus projects.

This survey is one of the indicators that Erasmus activities have had a very positive impact on thinking about sustainability, encouraging teamwork and raising awareness of the importance of this topic for the future. Teachers express their willingness to participate in further activities both at school and in the local community. Participation in Erasmus projects has significantly changed the culture of our school.
ZAKLJUČAK:
Na zadnjoj mobilnosti koja se održala u rujnu 2024. u Hrvatskoj, održali smo okrugli stol na temu "Budućnost je u našim rukama". Povela se rasprava koliko mi osobno možemo učiniti za zaštitu okoliša. Učenici i učitelji iznosili su primjere dobre prakse iz svoje lokalne zajednice, a na kraju smo razmotrili koje još aktivnosti možemo provoditi kako bismo zaštitili okoliš, umanjili štetan utjecaj klimatskih promjena i bili uspješniji u održivosti. Učenici su se osvrnuli na projektne aktivnosti u kojima su sudjelovali i iznosili svoje kritičko mišljenje o tome koliko su one imale utjecaja na njihov svakodnevni život. Pogledajte njihov video uradak.
Svaka škola navela je nove projekte koji su pokrenuti zahvaljujući sudjelovanju u ovom Erasmus projektu te je općenito zaključeno da je održivi razvoj izuzetno važna tema za našu budućnost te će se započete aktivnosti nastaviti. U OŠ Barilović sastavni dio Školskog kurikuluma postalo je obilježavanje značajnih datuma za naš okoliš, a ekološke aktivnosti koje smo provodili sada smo kvalitetnije osmislili i uključili veći broj učenika.
OŠ Barilović želi pokrenuti sljedeće projekte: Projekt Razvrstavanje otpada kod PŠ Belaj - Zero waste schools, Svijet leptira u umjetnosti i znanosti, Invazivne vrste - signalni rak i Zaštita stabala od dabrova). Kvantitativnom analizom obuhvatit će se broj sudionika u aktivnostima koje će se pokrenuti i provoditi u lokalnoj zajednici, korištenje IKT alata i umjetne inteligencije, broj eTwinning projekata, uključenost učenika s teškoćama. Kvalitativna analiza obuhvatit će izvještaje voditelja i sudionika o provedenim aktivnostima te uključenost u rješavanje problema, pronalaženje novih rješenja i inovativnih ideja vezano za održivost. Tim za kvalitetu prezentirat će zaključke na sjednici učiteljskog vijeća, školskom odboru, a putem mrežne stranice i društvenih mreža zainteresirana javnost bit će upoznata s aktivnostima koje se provode. Učenici će nastojati potaknuti članove lokalne zajednice da se uključe u aktivnosti zaštite okoliša i tako pozitivno utjecati na širu zajednicu. Ovaj projekt potaknuo nas je da se prijavimo za Erasmus akreditaciju kako bismo i dalje mogli provoditi planirane aktivnosti na međunarodnoj razini čime obogaćujemo naša iskustva, dolazimo do novih ideja i rješenja te stvaramo pozitivan stav prema održivoj budućnosti. Cilj nam je da stečena znanja i iskustva iskoristimo za dobrobit održivog razvoja u našim zajednicama.
Učitelji koji su sudjelovali u aktivnostima povezanim s projektom izvijestili su da su potaknule njihovu znatiželju, kritičko razmišljanje vezano za klimatske promjene i održivi razvoj, timski rad s drugim učiteljima u kolektivu ali i na međunarodnoj razini. Dodatno ističu da je kod njih potaknut osjećaj odgovornost prema okolišu i spremni su poduzeti konkretne radnje u tom smislu. Prije početka projekta, istraživanje je pokazalo da je manje od polovice njih bilo aktivno angažirano u provođenju aktivnosti i edukacija za zaštitu okoliša. Također, kada smo se 2019. uključili u Erasmus projekt tim se sastojao od četiri člana, a sada se on povećao na dvadestak članova. Tome je pridonio i ovaj projekt. U anketi koju smo proveli među učenicima, a možete ju također vidjeti na ovoj stranici, gotovo svi učenici izjavljuju svoju predanost akcijama zaštite okoliša. Nadalje, kod učenika je povećana motivacija za učenje i poduzimanje novih inicijativa vezanih uz zaštitu okoliša. Dvadeset i četiri učenika izrazilo je namjeru sudjelovanja u aktivnostima usmjerenim na podizanje i osvještavanje lokalne zajednice što se tiče održivog razvoja. To budi nadu u svjetliju budućnost.
CONCLUSION:
At the last mobility, which took place in September 2024 in Croatia, we held a round table on the topic "The Future is in Our Hands". A discussion was held on how much we personally can do to protect the environment. Students and teachers presented examples of good practice from their local community, and at the end we considered what other activities we can carry out to protect the environment, reduce the harmful impact of climate change and be more successful in sustainability. Students reflected on the project activities in which they participated and expressed their critical opinion on how much they had an impact on their daily lives. Watch their video.
Each school listed new projects that were launched thanks to participation in this Erasmus project, and it was generally concluded that sustainable development is an extremely important topic for our future and that the activities that have been started will continue. In Primary school Barilović, marking significant dates for our environment has become an integral part of the school curriculum, and the ecological activities we carried out have now been designed better and have included a larger number of students.
Primary school Barilović wants to launch the following projects: Waste sorting project at our school in Belaj - Zero waste schools, The world of butterflies in art and science, Invasive species - signal cancer and Tree protection from beavers). The quantitative analysis will include the number of participants in the activities that will be launched and implemented in the local community, the use of ICT tools and artificial intelligence, the number of eTwinning projects, the involvement of students with disabilities. The qualitative analysis will include reports from coordinators and participants on the activities carried out and involvement in solving problems, finding new solutions and innovative ideas related to sustainability. The quality team will present the conclusions at the meeting of the teachers' council, the school board, and the interested public will be informed about the activities being implemented via the website and social networks. The students will try to encourage members of the local community to get involved in environmental protection activities and thus have a positive impact on the wider community. This project encouraged us to apply for Erasmus accreditation so that we could continue to implement planned activities at an international level, enriching our experiences, coming up with new ideas and solutions, and creating a positive attitude towards a sustainable future. Our goal is to use the acquired knowledge and experience for the benefit of sustainable development in our communities.
Teachers who participated in the activities related to the project reported that they stimulated their curiosity, critical thinking regarding climate change and sustainable development, teamwork with other teachers in the school but also at an international level. They emphasize that they were encouraged to feel responsible for the environment and are ready to take concrete actions. Before the start of the project, research showed that less than half of them were actively engaged in implementing activities and education for environmental protection. Also, when we joined the Erasmus project in 2019, the team consisted of four members, and now it has increased to about twenty members. This project has also contributed to this. In the survey we conducted among students, which you can also see on this page, almost all students declare their commitment to environmental protection actions. Furthermore, students' motivation to learn and take new initiatives related to environmental protection has increased. Twenty-four students have expressed their intention to participate in activities aimed at raising awareness of the local community regarding sustainable development. This raises hope for a brighter future.
