"The title of the project is ""ClimA: Be the Change!"" (acronym ABC). The 6 partners involved in it are Romania (coord.), Bulgaria, Cyprus, Portugal, Greece and Italy. All the project members are affected by various aspects of climate change, which led to the idea for the project. It focuses on raising awareness among students about the impact climate changes have in the present and in the long run and engaging students to take a stand against the slow destruction of the planet. The target is to involve a wide variety of participants (students, teachers, parents, local community) to come up with ideas on how to improve the current situation and how to preserve nature in its best state for the following generations. Apart from the scientific aspect of the project, we intend to focus on the artistic side as well, as this would give us the chance to involve more teachers, of various subjects, not just science. The project objectives are as follows: 1.using non-formal education methods throughout the 2 years of project to raise awareness among Ss from the 6 partner schools about the importance of climate change and how it directly impacts people’s everyday lives;2.during each mobility, to encourage 20 Ss from the 5 partner countries, as well as Ss from the host school, to take action and come up with creative and innovative ideas that will help protect the nature and reduce the causes of climate change for future generations;3.during monthly local and international activities spread from Sept 2020 to Feb 2022, to determine approx. 5,000 Ss to realise that every one of them can contribute to the well-being of the planet, even if it is on a small scale;4.throughout the 2 years of project, to involve approx. 100 Ss with fewer opportunities in a wide variety of activities to reduce early school leaving by approx. 30%. The Ss who participate in this project are 12-15 yo. In the mobilities will be involved 120 Ss (primarily 14-15 yo), different every time so as to include as many learners as possible. Ts participating in mobilities will be 60, varying the colleagues who participate, in order to facilitate access for a wider number of people.The local activities will involve, overall, a much larger number of participants, including all the Ss in each partner school (approx. 5,000), their parents/tutors and other members of the community. To this we added 2 partner schools in each locality, with Ss with fewer opportunities, that will implement elements of our project in their institutions, with their Ss and who will be monitored for a successful unfolding of the project. The Ss with fewer opportunities who come from unstable backgrounds (financial issues, single-parent families, relatives working abroad) are oftentimes in danger of dropping out of school to follow the mirage of the money, choosing to get a job (preferably abroad) and earn a good income, opting for instant gratification instead of continuing their education, which also includes knowledge about the exploitation of natural resources, recycling, preserving the environment, etc.Also, the project intends to encourage Ss with fewer opportunities to become a part of it, expressing themselves through different types of art (drawing, painting, music, dance, theatre, etc.). We intend to involve (at least) 100 Ss with fewer opportunities during the 2 years of project, and at least one per country in each mobility.The main types of activities used will be:a) discussion methods: workshops, group work, brainstorming, discussions;b) experimental methods: multimedia project presentations, artistic competitions (project logo, best image reflecting climate change, etc.), educational field trips, cultural visits.The expected results are:- observing a change in daily habits for 50% of Ss regarding recycling, reducing waste and overall protection of the environment around them;- motivating Ss to express their opinions and ideas freely related to environmental issues;- improving Ss' linguistic, digital, communication and social skills;- creating a collection of Ss' artistic work in an attempt to fight climate change (drawings, posters, presentations, etc.);- turning Ss who participate in the project into ambassadors who transmit the knowledge gained in the project to other Ss from their schools and other schools in the communities;- boosting Ss' self-confidence in their skills and creativity;- creating a reliable project team in each partner school;- acquiring experience and insight regarding the implementation of a successful Erasmus+ project;- developing a European dimension within each partner school;- fostering tolerance and acceptance of other cultures, views and mentalities;- creating partnerships that will likely resume in future international projects."
