TINY STEPS
FOR GREAT CHANGES
“Tiny Steps For Great Changes” aims at making participants from Italy, Portugal, Romania, Serbia and Spain aware of the importance of becoming more sustainable and of the fact that it is in our hands to help fight against climate change through small actions at school and at home. We shall learn that preserving our planet is part of our own identity and a valuable gift for future generations. They will become the promoters of those small changes at their school, at their homes and their neighbourhood but they will also lead their mates through the quest of international cooperation. After all, this project is also intended to give students who are hundreds of kilometers apart the chance to get closer, exchange their traditions and points of view, share and appreciate their culture while fostering a sense of belonging to a common space.
Besides, they will also develop key competences for lifelong learning since the project favours cooperation, research, autonomy, curiosity and creativity. Being the inclusion of pupils with social and educational difficulties a major priority, this project will also contribute to develop students' self-confidence for they will have to face new situations which will make them conscious of their potential.
Participant students aged between 13-15 will represent the working teams from each partner school during short-term exchanges. These will favour international learning experiences and help develop intercultural awareness. Being a partnership made up of an Elementary school, a Comprehensive School, two general Secondary schools and a vocational school pupils, teachers and schools will surely exchange a variety of good practices, which they might integrate into their teaching contexts.
