Look after nature and nature will look after you

Description

The imperative for realisation of the project on an international level was the affiliation of all partners to European Union, partners who have common but not the same culture, history, traditions, customs, religions and an array of past events which affect present relationships and sometimes they cause tensions and conflicts. The problems were even higher these days due to migration and Covid-19 pandemic. In such a situation the important idea was integration, which happened through mutual activities aiming at mutual recognition, exchange of ideas in the spirit of partnership, tolerance and eagerness to compromise and agreement . Our goal was to prepare young people to the role of being aware, open, wise and tolerant Europeans. Realisation of this project gave an opportunity to equip these young people with competences and skills which will enable in the future for stabilisation, peace and development of the European Union. Young people, taking part in the project had an opportunity of meeting new friends from many European countries and carrying jointly activities, activities which were important not only on a European level but on the global level, too. The goal of this project was making our students aware of necessity to protect our environment and giving them a chance to get involved in it. While working on the project and after its completion, our students became aware of their very outer world, its diversity, problems and aware of their ability to have impact on it. They were encouraged to do researches, analysis, drawing conclusions for future. They realised that their activities gave positive results. They became aware that consumerist lifestyle is dangerous for the environment. They are able to recycle at school and at home, they consciously undertook long-term actions to influence our environment, our local communities and through media wider target groups. They are aware how effective collaborative work is. Communication in the English language was an important goal, too. They understand now how important it is to communicate fluently using a foreign language. Having a good command of foreign language lets them express their needs and problems, including basic needs like sharing ideas, discussing, compromising, giving arguments, presenting, learning and transferring their knowledge. English language as a skill was used with school walls as well as beyond the walls lets them make new friends, motivate them for further efforts to study more and trigger the fluency and joy of being able to communicate with others. Development of language skills brought long term effects affecting next level of their education and their future lives. Using phones, computers and ICT tools is vital and essential for young generations these days. This project allowed them for using all these tools in a new way, other than virtual world which absorbs them too much. They can change this situation and use ICT in a practical and useful way, useful for themselves and useful for others, useful for the world beyond. ICT tools are some kind of bridge which connects generations of teachers and students. This aspect was beneficial for both students and teachers and it brought the feeling of being helpful for others around us. ICT was not only a communication tool but also other digital tools which can be used to produce films, presentations, leaflets, brochures,etc. Students had an opportunity to develop their skills, including artistic, photographic, being well organised and many more. We included students with special education needs, students with problems for whom the project gave an opportunity for team work in the atmosphere of understanding, common support and empathy. For many young people this project was a great challenge of their lifetime. The project changed our students, teachers, our schools and our local communities. We understood that we could achieve a lot despite differences and despite difficult Covid times. Covid pandemic made us work through internet and we all can say that we faced the challenge with success.
