Many resources of our Planet Earth are not
equally shared. This is being globally discussed, facing the fact that the
growth of the world population will bring our planet to its limits. At the same
time there is an affluence and waste of resources in many European countries,
and global problems are not really taken serious. On the other hand many European countries are
patterns in many fields for the whole world regarding sustainability. But we do
not make use of our full potential, the strength and experience of EU states to
enhance sustainability - despite the fact that our agricultural Common Market
is so well interwoven.
The project “European food sustainability vs.
food waste” will involve students and teachers from 5 different countries and
backgrounds (Germany, Italy, France, Poland and Spain) in an effort to discover and learn about the resources,
components and habits related to food and consumerism while they are analyzing
and working with their own culture and the culture of their partner schools.
All the staff in our schools, the parents, the local/regional Cultural
Associations and the local authorities will be invited to take part in the
activities proposed in our project.
We
intend to develop positive attitudes, habits and respect towards healthy food
and consumers' education contrasting and gaining awareness on the differences
and similarities, analyzing results with people from other cultures and to
promote the concept of European citizenship through intercultural dialogue on
health and social issues. We intend to help our students to grow a sense of
belonging, not only in their own society and culture, but also in a bigger
social community – Europe. In addition, we aim to improve the foreign language
skills of students and teachers through CLIL methodology, the use of ICT at
school as a way of communicating with other partners and a mutual understanding
on strategies for the inclusion of all pupils.
Our pupils will share many activities with their European partners
through the eTwinning platform and in the meetings and learning activities.
They will learn about different cultures, habits, foods and dishes and lifestyles.
All these activities will be included in our school curriculum. They will also
discover the importance of learning a foreign language to communicate with
others in a real context through enjoyable activities.
The main goal of our project is to give our
students a good chance of widening their cultural horizons, to increase their
sense of belonging to a wider community and to teach them to work
collaboratively towards specific topics, fostering consciousness as citizens of
Europe. Therefore, this partnership with European schools will enable us to add
excitement to the teaching of culture, traditions, and foreign languages and to
motivate the students in their learning when they are given the chance to
compare different educational systems and methodologies and the opportunity to
participate in the daily life of some European schools.
