PROJECT

Let's clean up Europe

Summary


This project aims to a better knowledge of all the partner countries from an environmental point of view. Students from different countries are going to inquire into both commonalities and differences in lifestyles and relationships with nature. They will explore the surrounding environment and will learn both physical geography and the meaning of the main natural phenomena. They will know their own and other countries’ environment and its ecological balance; agricultural, economical and industrial activities and their impact on nature. They will learn about the correct use of each and every resource, avoiding every kind of waste; about various types of pollution; about reusing and recycling. They will be encouraged  to adopt responsible and appropriate behaviors for a balanced and suitable relationship between man and nature and mostly they will learn the importance of not wasting precious resources, of reducing consumption of water and not renewable energy, the need to recycle and reuse everything recyclable and reusable.
Children will develop a better knowledge of one’s own and others’ cultural identity. All together we’ll develop  cooperation, communication and comprehension skills through cultural exchanges.
English will be the main language used in the project, but we will also encourage the use of all partners’ languages.
We will also promote cooperative teaching-learning  skills among all the pupils and all the teachers participating in the project.
Local authorities and organizations will be involved in the project.
The aim of the project will be reached through an intense intercultural exchange, using various kinds of resources, especially ITC.
A website will be set up in order to publish all the products.
