Green Horizons: Engaging Communities for Sustainable Futures

Summary

What are the concrete objectives you would like to achieve and ‘outcomes or results you would like to realise’? How are these objectives linked to the priorities you have selected?

Our main goal is to promote environmental awareness among all participants through this project, which involves active
engagement of students, teachers, the school community, parents, and locals from our partner countries. For a sustainable
environment, we will work together on the activities in the local and transnational spectrum. Thanks to this project, we will
open new doors to educate conscious individuals who will learn new approaches and practices, be informed by new
ecological teaching methods in classrooms and respect nature.

The specific goals include:

Through the implementation of this project we will achieve numerous concrete results, such as:

A CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION GUIDE for teachers (with guidelines for all subject teachers to incorporate the theme
into the curriculum, with recommendations and examples of good practices, the creation of games, quizzes, puzzles, movie
suggestions, apps, outdoor activities, etc.).
4 ERASMUS forests created by students and locals, (at least 50 trees by each partner)
Water diaries
an exhibition made of recycled materials, posters, bulletin boards.
digital and (recycled) paper eco-calendars,
A Twinspace, a WEB PAGE, and the project’s FB and Instagram accounts,
A collection of kahoot and/or quizlet games
Clean coasts, parks and forests
Regarding the priority of developing key competencies: Participants, including students and teachers, will be encouraged to
improve their English skills in order to communicate effectively and learn the basics of the different languages of the project
partners. This will encourage them to pursue further language studies. Through online sessions, staff meetings and shortterm student mobilities, as well as ICT workshops, teachers and students will gain expertise and improve their skills in
communication and ICT, including the use of WEB 2.0 tools, communication tools, cloud storage methods, website design
and eTwinning.

Please outline the target groups of your project

48 participants will be the direct beneficiaries of our project (24 students, 24 teachers).
We will indirectly include 350 local participants, 100 teachers, and 650 students.
Our main target group will be students aged 13-16 as they are future of our planet. They will actively participate in the
project tasks, research topics, make videos, create ebooks and e-magazines, communicate successfully in foreign
languages, create introductions for their own countries and schools, develop intercultural communication and observe and
disseminate the project results. Not only students from our schools will participate in the project activities, but we will also
involve students from surrounding schools in activities such as plogging. Teachers and students from these schools will also
be invited to some of our workshops.
For short-term student mobility activities, we will select participating students based on their age, needs, communication
skills, and parental approval. Two months before each mobility, a meeting is held to select the participants by the school
principal and the project staff. The accompanying teachers help them with the activities before and after the mobility. The
teachers responsible for the activities are selected according to the needs of the project, their professional competence,
their language skills and their declared motivation.
All teachers from partner schools are our second target group. Some of them will participate in the dissemination, others in
the preparation of materials, the organization of exchanges and the support of students in role-plays.
