Let's make a move! - 17 steps to a sustainable Europe

Description

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 and with the EU being a frontrunner, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call-to-action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. We, as members of the European Union, think that we have the obligation to achieve these goals and we think that this will also lead us to a stronger European Union. Students at school should not only learn about the implications of these goals, they should start taking action in order to make a change for everybody. By meeting their European friends during the mobilities or by working together on the ETwinning platform or by using other means of communication and ICT, they develop skills in order to become active and critical thinking citizens themselves. The project idea is to work together with 5 partners from Finland- Muhoksen lukio France -Ensemble ST Félix Lasalle, Germany- Adam-Josef-Cüppers-Berufskolleg Ratingen, Portugal- Agrupamento de Escolas de Montemor-o-Novo and Spain-I.E.S. LA ALBERICIA. The students involved are 15-19 years old. Every partner is responsible for one part of the five Ps which are the five main ideas of the Agenda 2030: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. We think that the project already includes the aspects of peace and partnership because we will live the partnership which hopefully creates more peace by achieving the aims of the 17 SDGs. Therefore we decided to divide the planet part following the SDGs into Life on land, Life under water and Life with water. During the 24 months, the teams will work on all 17 SDGs. During the LTT activities, the SDGs that were worked on at home or online together, will be combined with visiting e.g. sustainable companies and taking action (like e.g. writing letters). Between the LTT activities, there will be other activities, mostly connected to UN or EU awareness days. During the 24 months, there are five LTT activities. Every partner organizes one mobility at their school/town for one week. The other partners visit them with a team of 4 students and two teachers. Every country has a group of teachers who are responsible for the project and a team of students who are involved. We try to involve as many students as possible, especially disadvantaged kids. During the mobility, the students stay at hostfamilies. During the week, there will be activities related to the topic like workshops or cleanups but also cultural events.The mobilities will mostly have the same arrangement which of course are different in all countries, since the participating schools and towns differ a lot. All this will help us to see that sustainability is something we all have to deal with, despite all our differences in our way of living or our culture. On the first day, the teams arrive and there is a first meeting of the teachers in the evening while the students stay in their host families. On the second day there is an introduction on the activities. The teams visit, if possible, the mayor of the town and they will get a first impression on the surroundings and the schools by visiting classes and doing a tour around town. On the third day the students get a closer insight to the topic by doing e.g. workshops or visiting e.g. museums. On the fourth day the students work on the project and create something together. On the fifth day there is a culture day with visits of cultural sight or experience the local culture. On the sixth day there is a sightseeing day and on the seventh day the students stay in their host families in order to get to know more about their culture. In the evening the group meets for a farewell dinner or party and on the last day everybody returns to their home countries. All LTT activities have pre- and after-activities to prepare and follow up the mobility.The final result of the work done is an exhibition which will be set up during the last meeting in Germany and which all participants can download from the Twinspace and set up at their home schools as well.
