Bright Green Lands

Description

Schools from Poland, Portugal, Italy and Croatia decided to realise the innovative for each institution project connected with the specific area. Our schools are placed in different parts of Europe including bright green lands and we will try to connect environment education, ICT with carrier counselling. It was caused by few reasons. Taking into account our conditions, location and previously mentioned difficulties and social risks we implemented the new, innovative for all institutions synergy. In every school we expanded our ICT knowledge using new tools to create final products or communicate to each other. For instance we created multimedia presentation with Prezi, Emaze, Kizoa, Vimeo films, a kinds of electronical books like Flipsnack using new technology and specific sites with modern tools which haven’t been used yet in our schools. The next component was the environmental education from visits in our local woods, national parks, companies connected with carpentry, forestry and yachts building to practical way of education like planting trees. Researches, documentation ( photos, films, recordings, juxtapositions) were presented in different forms – in electronic and traditional way. The last point of our synergy was connected with social exclusion and the risk of leaving school early. We organized lessons devoted career counselling. There were meetings with people who occupy this topic and workers in national parks, shipyards, carpentry companies, foresters, former students who are now in military school. We showed young people possibilities of workplaces in their own areas, the ways of education in secondary schools and universities. Better learning and teaching were the main objectives of this project. Every activities planned were the part of the curricula disciplines and teaching but with a different and original point of view and new perspectives. We could assert that all activities planned during the different mobilities were designed as learning activities in themselves and the results were achieved:Ice breaking activities – we made multimedia presentations and films about schools , regions . Students and teachers used Skype, Facebook and Twinspace or chats to lead video-conferences; multilingual vocabulary with names of plants was created , digital or paper albums with dried plants, leaves of trees with the names in mother tongue, Latin and English were presented during visits and on websites. Students under the teachers’ supervision collected the tales connected with woods and forests. After visiting local companies using wood as a raw material : discovering careers, economic elements, management of a companies -the reports are presented on school, eTwinning and Facebook sites. Teachers organized meetings with forresters ( as a possible job in the nearest area). Woods and forests as a source and the resource of life- National Park and Natural Reservation visits, Nature museums. These educational/recreational activities of the forest heritage mainly took place during the mobilities - reports illustrated with photos or videos were published online in order to share with the others still at home. Our Forestry Cuisine- characteristic recipies + photos using forest fruits and mushrooms collected among our families. They are traditional or recently invented recipies (mother tongue + English, online publishing on eTwinning and school sites). The International Days of Forests and The Days of Earth were devoted to outdoor activities for students e.g. trees planting, taking photos , knowledge quizzes, drawinf plants, recognizing animals voicecs etc. Final questionnaire was created for all participants (management of the schools, teachers, pupils, parents, local and the results are accessible on the project websites. Writing reports and publishing them on the Internet favoured the development of the language and ITC skills.Sharing the life of a family in an alien country expanded mind openness, cultural discoveries and developed language & communication skills. Teachers as well as students also discovered new ways to live at school, different kinds of relationships between pupils and adults and other teaching methods.
