Environments

  • It is important for the project to transcend classroom walls to become engaged in real-world issues. 

  • Promoting the relevance of studying in the classroom for the complex environmental issues, and acquiring the skills needed for problem solving.

  • ICT is the base of the study and is used extensively throughout the project, and the involved teachers are encouraged to learn and apply new and different pedagogical approaches.

Teachers

  • The project promotes a bidirectional learning process among teachers and pupils.

  • The teachers learn and apply new and different pedagogical approaches and facilitate activities which encourage independent learning.

  • The teachers observe learning methods in different countries and share their opinions with their colleagues 

  • Learning efficient use of ICT through collaboration with the project partners

Impact

  • The project drew attention of several media outlets.  

  • Considering the young age of the participants and the international scope of the initiative, this project could strongly influence the organisations involved in future projects.

  • The project has had a positive effect on teachers and learners, partners, parents, colleagues and the local communities.

  • There has also been a good structure for both planning and teaching activities in between the physical meetings, which has facilitated the inclusion of learners that didn’t participate in mobilities.
