PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT

PROJECT’S PRESENTATION

AIM OF THE PROJECT

The project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the way in which the sea has influenced and continues to influence the lives of people, above all those living close to it and preserve the marine environment as we depend on our seas for the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.

Moreover it points out the common cultural elements among the partner countries as the sea has been the connecting link among people as well as one of the determining elements in the development of civilization.

Although the ocean trash problem is sometimes hard for even adults to face, we want our students to understand an issue of worldwide importance, gain a sense of social responsibility, change their behavior and share the information they get at school with their parents as well as with the community.

To sum up the project provides a way to engage our pupils, educate them on the issue of marine debris and on the need to protect the seas. We are convinced that a greater commitment of public education and outreach and more partnerships with local governments and communities will help to solve the marine litter issue.

 

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The aims of the project:

1- to increase ecological knowledge of the pupils through information about the needs of the sea and the coastal environment, by promoting individual and collective responsibility for caring and preserving the marine environment by understanding the importance of reducing the amount of untreated sewage and garbage in the sea by promoting and spreading good environmental practices starting with some simple daily decisions;

2 - to increase the social skills and community responsibility of young people by working together as a transnational team to help to solve an international issue, to develop their self-confidence and their critical thinking skills in order to sort out all the information on the issue.

Moreover getting in touch with peers from different countries, pupils will

1 - increase cultural understanding, friendship and empathy of the participants for differences among people by promoting CLIL through the studying of partners’ history, geography, art, music, technology and science;

2 -improve students communication skills by developing their oral and written skills in English and in their mother tongue, using ICT into everyday learning situation

3–create links between school, parents and the wider community developing synergies with local organizations bridging the gap between the school and the real world.
