Sustainable Project Developed by 8th graders (C and D)
Students from classes 8thC and 8thD took part in the eTwinning project “Sustainable Schools to Survive Climate Change”
This international initiative, which brings together schools from Vila do Conde, Spain and Turkey, has as its main objective to make students aware of the reality of climate change and the urgent need to adopt sustainable attitudes to reverse this worrying scenario.
Through this valuable international partnership, the students have developed both soft skills and essential hard skills. In terms of soft skills, competences such as teamwork, communication in English, creativity and critical thinking were emphasised. As for hard skills, the students worked with Information and Communication Technologies, including the use of videoconferencing tools, presentation software and online collaborative platforms.
On 3th May, a highlight of the project took place: an international online meeting that brought together all the project members. This virtual meeting provided a valuable exchange of ideas and sustainable practices between the participating schools, fostering an environment of collaboration and mutual learning.
With this project, students not only acquired important knowledge and skills, but also learnt to take on the role of agents of change in their community. The initiative not only enriched the school curriculum, but also fostered a critical and and proactive among young people, preparing them to face the environmental challenges of the future.
This eTwinning project shows how education can be a powerful tool for social and environmental transformation, empowering students to contribute to a more sustainable world.
