ISC 4 International Environmental School

topicsprogresspartners

How can schools in Europe and all their participants

  • deal with environmental problems like packaging waste, especially plastic waste, paper waste and electronic waste (mobile phones etc.)?
  •  fight air pollution by the mobility behaviour of students and teachers?
  • reduce noise and light pollution?
  • save more energy (problems of energy scarcity)?
  • combat food waste?
  • deal with the threats arising from climate change?protect the nature (plants, animals, forest, etc.)?

Each partner does a research on existing projects they already have at their schools:

  • students ask teachers and principals to find out,
  • they will report current projects via photos etc. for presentation to all partners in Lithuania,
  • they will find out what is not working yet according to a responsible treatment of the environment.
  • therefore they have to design a questionnaire to find out how the situation in school is right now (how do you manage your impact in the environment). The aim of the survey is to find out what are less or most important problems at school.

Questions for the survey have to be sent to each other until mid of December.

  •  each partner makes a suggestion of concrete projects and arrangements that could be planned and realized at their schools.
  • the students keep in mind which steps are necessary to realize a project. All relevant people and aspects should be involved.

The results should be prepared in form of short PowerPoint presentations (until student mobility)

At student mobility the students work on one or two common projects which should be realized afterwards at their home schools.

  • more involvement and financial participation for employees
  • flat hierarchies, face to face meetings and team spirit

Research what companies can do to act more sustainably in three different economic sectors:

  1. business ethics:
  • which kind of corporate concepts / philosophy do they have?
  • according to which principles do they organize teamwork, working conditions, compliance etc.?
  1. production processes and value chain:
  • how to design valuable production?
  • (reduction of pollution at production, packaging, transportation etc.)

Questions for the interview guideline should be sent to each other until mid of December to create a common interview guideline assisting the students in conducting the interviews.

At the final meeting (student mobility):

Students share their national results and prepare final presentations of the different sectors and try to organize a podiums discussion: pros and cons – debating about opportunities and risks of modern working world / compliance etc.)

  • search out what kind of answers are appropriate,
  • which behavior is appropriate,
  • which dress is appropriate etc.
  • the applicants create an European CV (Europass) and a letter of motivation or create an applying video.
