Bio-organic productions as a way to preserve andsustain biodiversity and endemic species in theeuropean islands

Description

"As part of an exchange of good practices to promote organic production that guarantee the protection of the biodiversity and endemic European island species, this project aims to raise awareness among partners, learners and direct or indirect participants on environmental and climatic challenges, including biodiversity of common and endemic island species as an acute example of endangerment. Also, it seeks to include students with academic difficulties in an educational and multidisciplinary dynamic in order to give meaning to their academic learning. Finally, this project aims to highlight the importance of the social and educational value of cultural heritage by the reappropriation of knowledge in agricultural, gastronomic and cultural productions among young islanders. It will concern some fifteen student learners, but also and occasionally adults in their lifetime learning, teachers selected to participate in the implementation of the project, the directions and intendances of schools, the chefs in the school restaurants. Finally, host organizations for the elderly and young children will be invited to participate in the project by attending the thematic days organized by each partner school. The project will make it possible to organize information forums: ""non-pesticide"" actions or days intended for learners (pupils, adults - local producers, management of organizations offering catering to the elderly or young children), will be relayed by the media, and writing of articles illustrated by the eco-delegates of each partner school in three languages: language of each partner, English, Spanish.It will make it possible to perpetuate the election of eco-delegates in each partner school, their enhancement through work of presentations, animation of forums in schools in order to develop their creativity, their autonomy, their taking responsibility and proactivity.This project will promote learning on alternative economies in agriculture: circular economy, fair trade, reasoned and organic production, free routes in animal production, impacts on biodiversity. These forums will be intended for learners and open to adults (local farm managers, managers of care organizations for the elderly, or young children).Discovery activities of ""organic"" agriculture will also be offered: visits of organic farms to understand the differences with ""non-organic"" farms, how and why to cook and consume organic products, what are the advantages for human, animal and environmental health? What lasting benefits for island biodiversity?To combat early school dropout, the problems encountered by disadvantaged students, the eco-delegate mission will be proposed above all to students with learning difficulties in order to make them responsible, enhance them, and reconnect them into various activities different from the academic ones usually offered. Supervised by their teachers, they will organize and animate the presentations of the hosts, speakers and themes of the conferences and forums.In terms of ICT and digital skills, all the student partners will participate in actions to disseminate the project: writing texts (articles, poems, essays) photos, exhibitions, creation of mcq, knowledge exercises on island biodiversity on a digital platform dedicated to the project intended for learners of schools, creation of a guide on biodiversity on each island and its endangerment by agricultural practices, random waste management, the disappearance of endemic species due to pollution.Finally, the social and educational value of the European cultural heritage will also be a major element of the project: island tales evoke animals or plants sometimes disappeared or endangered because of man. They will be rewritten in workshops following the rediscovery of these tales inscribed in the oral island heritage. To this end, the project will reconnect with the elders through interviews in their foster homes or in families."
