Disposing of waste has huge environmental impacts and can cause serious problems. It is in our hands to join efforts in order to find more appropriate and sustainable approaches to reduce waste in homes, schools and workplaces and that is why 6 schools from Romania, Greece, Malta, Finland, Italy and France decided to make a partnership with the title "Don't Throw, Make It Glow!", whose main aim is to foster awareness among students, teachers, parents and local communities for being more environmental conscious, by changing waste into useful objects, encouraging creative recycling. All partner schools have developed recycling programmes but the result was not satisfactory. Therefore we need to learn from other countries through an exchange of good practices. The project objectives in order to achieve this aim are: - to prevent generation of waste by learning innovative methods and strategies from partners' experiences, and sharing them not only to students and teachers, but also to parents; - to promote sustainable development by turning waste into useful objects on a long term; - to develop innovative methods to raise awareness among students regarding environment protection; - to improve vocational, artistic and teamwork skills, as well as creativity and imagination, by organizing workshops to produce crafts from recycling materials, as well as creating and performing the plays with environmental topic; - to encourage students, teachers and parents to learn foreign languages, using English for main language of communication, as well as the partners' basic vocabulary; - to enhance liaison and cooperation in Europe by encouraging students and teachers' mobility through transnational project meetings. In the first year teachers will create a joint syllabus for an environmental course, to be taught in all partner schools. There will be made an exchange of good practices and the methods learned from each other will be applied in joint workshops for making crafts from recyclable materials, during the learning/teaching/training activities, which will take place in each partner country. After the workshops there will be organized exhibitions and after the meetings, workshops will be carried out in each partner school. A project mascot with its diary will be created. Students will take the mascot at home and they will write in the diary their experiences in environment protection. The mascot will be handed in to the other partners to be kept until the next meeting. In this way students will learn from one another in an informal way about their partners' experiences, this being a good tool for monitoring the impact of the activities during the project period. An e-learning platform will be created where there will be posted the syllabus of the environmental course, together with tutorials of the craft making so that the whole communities can access it and learn. In the second year of the project the environmental course will be taught in each partner school. On the e-learning platform there will be posted assessments and class activities. In this way other schools in the community can make use of them. Periodically interactive classes on skype will be held, the exchange of teaching/learning strategies being made openly and with greater impact both on students and teachers. The students from each partner school will write a short script with environmental topic which will be acted in a joint performance during the last project meeting. While working on the project, students will acquire: better knowledge of environmental issues, improvement of the sense of European citizenship, better ICT and English communication skills , improvement of teamwork skills, by working together in the workshops, improvement of artistic and vocational skills. Teacher will get: greater awareness regarding environment protection, development of vocational and pedagogical skills, improvement of communication skills in English and learning vocabulary from partners' languages, development of teamwork skills, better ICT skills, greater feeling of belongingness to the European Community. The institutions involved in the partnership will improve educational systems, managerial skills, they will get a better image in the local communities, better relationship with the community and closer school-parents relationship, involving parents in the activities. Among outcomes and results there will be: environmental course syllabus, environmental course taught in all partner countries, handbook with good practices in environment protection, project logo, web page, e-learning platform, workshops for making crafts from recyclable materials, exhibitions with the crafts, play scripts written by students about their environmental experiences, acting show, play scripts booklet. Through all these activities we hope that we will help to make a better environment so that we can all enjoy life in a wonderful and healthy world.
