Biodiversity and bees in Europe

Description

Healthy and rich biological diversity plays an important role in human life. It provides ecosystem services that are essential for living. However, despite the considerable importance of our biodiversity, it is heavily endangered by human activities and continues to disappear.Our project brings together three VET high schools of agriculture in France, Italy and North Macedonia, experiencing three different geographical locations and cultural contexts.As our students have close contact with nature and will work in the agricultural sector, our project will help them to raise awareness about the challenges of biodiversity and become aware of their own responsibilities regarding to biodiversity.As our students often face the economic, educational and/or social difficulties, this project will offer them the possibility to see the situation of biodiversity in different parts of Europe, acquire knowledge, develop critical thinking, creativity and social skills. They will also develop professional use of ICT, interest in science and foreign language and cross-cultural communication.That is why we believe that with this European school exchange partnership will contribute to the exchange of new experiences, ideas, possible solutions that our students will apply in the future, in order to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity.Besides, as the project will be carried out at a European level, the students will have a great opportunity to discover the similarities and differences between the countries.112 pupils aged between 16 to 18 directly take part in this two-year project, as well as more than 17 trainers. Parents will also be involved in the project.Each school will work with 2 groups of students.During the 1st school year, pupils and teachers will work on biodiversity.In each school, pupil will examine the local biodiversity condition, main issues and solutions. They will exchange on the eTwinning platform. They will share photos, presentations and videos on their e-Twinning space. After virtual exchange, the mobilities will permit to discover biodiversity in partner countries. Common lectures, citizen acts and study visits will be organized during each mobility. With peers, the pupils will continue to work on the topic.During the 2nd school year, pupils and teachers will work on biodiversity, with a focus on bees : they will become aware of each human being’s contribution to the fragile balance of the ecosystem, the importance of bees for biodiversity and their role in rural development. Work in class, virtual mobilities and physical mobilities will also be organised for each group.
