Description

"As Aristotle says “… For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them”, our venture aims to encourage our students and school community to raise an environmental awareness and develop their knowledge and skills for real life. Students learn by doing so that the students will have a dynamic part in each progression of the Project.“Do Best With Waste” is a collaborative project among partner schools from Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Italy, Poland and Portugal. This project undertakes a key role of taking attention of contribution to sustainable waste management in the school.The ecological language allows students to learn the sustainable process through the reduction, reuse and recycling of materials. Through a concerted management of natural resources and a patterning of consumption habits, can contribute to the sustainability of the way of life and the environment. Students will have a multidisciplinary learning that contribute to the development of ecological skills, critical understanding of the world and of new technologies, improving the integral formation of ecological citizens.During the period of this school partnership projects, participants will know good environmental practice that exist in each partner country, they will understand that sustainable waste management are important for the preservation of the environment. Then, they will change habits in school, through the selection of waste and other activities that reinforce this propose, such as: logo projects; digital illustrated calendars; art works with recycling materials; eBooks; visual dictionary about the climate actions; pedagogical Video about reuse materials; introduction electric power generators at school; a webpage; eTwinning space; reports; posters and presentations.With this perspective, we ensure our students to take part in useful activities in different cultural perspectives and with different students from other countries. Our students, their parents, and all the elements involved in the project, can enrich themselves culturally and ecologically, knowing that it is necessary to change attitudes towards the environment, as well as through implement daily sustainability habits. It will foster in young people a greater knowledge of themselves and others, through the human dimension that only ecological footprint can bring. In this sense, they will be made aware of different cultures and of a sustainable world that is intended to be an inclusive place.

It is hoped that there will be a change in the attitudes and daily habits of the students, family and community.Students from 10 to 15 years old will be involved in the project ""Do Best With Waste"".Also, at this stage, tools of information research will be introduced, through an articulation with the school library, which will promote the interdisciplinary between the different disciplines and curricular contents. Students will be better acquainted with ecological and sustainable concerns, thus increasing their information literacy skills.Subsequently, change of habits and sustainable management, will be the basis for a sustainable school.For this to be a properly oriented work, collaborations will be made with waste management entities, universities and municipalities. In each LTT, specific training in a sustainable concern will be available.The contents produced will be shared, showing that the school can be a better place, where people think ecologically and take sustainable actions.Good ecological practices in the partner countries will be possible to apply in the day life of each element belonging to each school community. The promotion of sustainability will also be carried out in events like Eco-friendly festivals. This will be a cultural event open to the surrounding community, with the goal of disseminating ecological practices.All the work done will be regularly made available and commented by the project partners on a web page and eTwinning space created for this purpose.As we all know, our future is in the hands of our children, adults of tomorrow.
