Let’s create roots to celebrate Europe Day Our Manifesto
The symbolism of the tree, inexhaustible and deeply rooted in people's thoughts, combines myths and religious beliefs, traditions and philosophical quests. Believing that environmental issues and sustainable development linked to culture inextricably, we are participate in the “Trees for Europe” eTwinning initiative action to raise awareness of all the bonds among the people of Europe and to offer an example of α good practice in a coordinated activity that shows our interactions and interdependence both in natural and in cultural terms. We believe that
all European countries are branches of the same tree, we share the same story,
share the responsibility of cultivating life so that we have the right to share the joy of “life’s juices”. and it is fair and natural to
The purpose is to understand that each branch is important and the tree must be able to hold them ALL without breaking, showing resiliance to the winds and the adversities of each season . This is also an initiative that enforces the request of the younger European generations to live in blooming, livable
and sustainable world.
In a nutshell, with the “Trees for Europe” initiative in which we participate among 200 schools in Europe, we want to celebrate Europe Day on 9 May with an action, that not only benefits the environment and raises awareness on the protection of our common natural and cultural European roots, but also -we hope- motivates the school and the local community just 2 weeks before the European elections, to think about our common future as European citizens, as branches of the same tree… 4th Junior High School of Petroupoli, Greece 06 May, 2019

We voted for the logo and the poster of the Project. Project Logo
Project Poster
About the Project ď‚— According to recent researches,
human activities, earthquakes, storms, floods, earth slides and cyclones are possible to affect future disasters because the increase in population and urbanization make the population defenseless against the natural disasters. Scientific researches emphasize that disaster and risk education must be the part of the some lessons at national primary and secondary curriculum.
ď‚— Our project aims to increase the
interest in activities in science, innovative interdisciplinary and the abilities to learn, language ability, literacy, science and maths qualification, digital qualification, entrepreneurship and creativity abilities. We believe that our project will encourage our students to join democratic life in Europe and it will increase their knowledge and ability.
TOPICS OF THE PROJECT
Nature and Natural Disasters Earthquake Flood Fire Landslide Erosion Volcano Tornado
NATURE ACTIVITIES
We planted plants in the class and saved them with love.
Why people should recycle? ď‚— Recycling helps protect the
environment ď‚— Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials all of which create air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
EARTHQUAKE Our students learned what to do
in case of an earthquake with earthquake simulation We built our house by using cube candy and play dough. We took attention to building security and human health The students made a house protected from an earthquake and she shaked it but the house was not destroyed
EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITIES
We prepared earthquake bags and did stem activities.
Earthquake Drill
our students will receive instructions on how to use the "life triangle" during an earthquake The students learned How do you do an earthquake drill .
FLOOD
The students learned how to prevent floods with the help of this Project.
FIRE
We taught kids about fire safety with this fun STEAM activity. The students learned how fire occurred and how it could be put out.
VOLCANO We made volcano experiment in the class and the students learned how it happens .
TORNADO
The students watched videos about tornado and talked about it.In the end we made an experiment.
-COMMON WORKS 1-LEAF ACTIVITY: Each partners created leaves and wrote some notes on them about nature and sent them to their paired country’s students
2-Creating Hero of the Project. Firstly each member prepared a
project character for our project then members chose one of them and uploaded that on our project's relevant page. After, each member uploaded We carried out a poll to choose our project's character. We voted for the best hero for the project.

"Reuse school objects,create new toys" ICS. « FALCONE » SAN GIOVANNI LA PUNTA – CATANIA ITALY Prof. Irene Confalone
That’s me I’ m Irene Confalone I teach in a primary school in the southern part of Italy .In a beautiful island called Sicily. I’ve been teaching English since 1991 .I ‘ve been the coordinator of several Erasmus projects of my school .I’m etwinner since 2012 .I’m a MIE , MIEE and Mistery Skype Teacher . I love my work and I love travelling because I like to open my arm to new cultures.
ICS. ÂŤFALCONEÂť ď‚— "Giovanni Falcone" is an institution with kindergarten, primary and
secondary school, which is located 10 kilometers far from Catania . Our institution is located in a socio-economically disadvantaged area. Despite the opening of a big shopping center, the unemployment rate is still very high. Moreover, in our school there are a lot of pupils with disabilities: some of them are integrated in the classes of normal children. In our school there are 1200 pupils aged between 3-13 years.
Falcone school ď‚— . Our institute develops a teaching aimed at providing its students with
skills required at ministerial level. In the logical-scientific field, the work, in the different school orders, is aimed at the development of problem solving and the use of IT systems as an aid in study activities. We develop the internationalization as a mutual aim of the school to open our students’ mind and heart.
Falcone school ď‚— . In particular, unplugged and computer programming activities are
carried out (via the code.org website and the Scratch application). These concepts are then put into practice with robotics activities structured appropriately for the age of the pupils (Bee-Bot, Lego We Do 2.0, Lego Mindstorm). ď‚— This school received the eTwinning School label in 2018/19 and we received the School Label for the current year 2020.We received 6 European Quality Labels and 4 National Quality Labels from 2012 to now.
The project
Etwinning project and Climate Action Project Level : From 5 to 9 Key competencies : Civic / Cultural awareness and expression Subjects : Art / Citizenship / Cross Curricular / Environmental Education / Geography / Music/ History / Primary School and kindergarten
The idea Plastic pollution is a problem throughout the world that causes problems in our towns, cities and oceans because it causes so much harm and so much mess. We would like to work with people who want to explore ways to tackle the problems that plastic brings to our community by getting the children to research alternative ways of using plastic and different ways of packaging everyday items.
We want to change the world The children were challenged to put bottles and other
plastic school objects to better use by creating something else through them as toys… Recycling… … What we can do? We started from the idea of a fish…
Pedagogical aims ď‚— - To raise awareness of environmental problems
- To develop their critical thinking by being able to provide solutions - To become active citizens and make their voices being heard - To organize their work and be able to work in international teams - To learn about pollution by conducting science experiments - To build a strong environmental awareness and consciousness by creating new toys to play.
Activities The students are divided in 2 teams):
Teams of different age (youngest and eldest). Each team worked on different activities Each team :one creating the new toys ,the eldest creating the instruments. • Review vocabulary terms dealing with their topic (• Collect informative material ) • Invited experts and visit organizations dealing with the topic • Make experiments to understand better the type of pollution they are dealing with • Agree on specific activities and campaigns that students can organize locally
Collaboration The teams worked on the above activities and organize meetings to present their results to the other teams. All teams worked on creating: • info sheets with their main findings about their type of pollution (Science, Art and ICT teachers) • short informative videos (Language and ICT teachers) • posters with easy steps that every student can do to help to have a pollution free sea (Science, Art, Language and ICT teachers) The teams also worked collaboratively to write a collaborative story on a topic like: Every student has to add at least one sentence to the story. The school organized an event in their school where they will invite local authorities, parents and environmental organizations. For the organization of this, they can also involve other classes. During this event, the schools can connect online and share their work, they can have a display all of their posters they created, they organized sessions to play the board games with other students and host small debates on the topic. They closed the event with one action: cleaning a nearby yard park of the school. Tools: Writing Words, Genially, Easel.ly, Voki, Vocaroo, Storyjumper.
Comunication ď‚— Students have been asked to make a
drawing or the pollution issues in our planet . In an online meeting, the partner schools met and introduced each other and discussed their feelings and fears about the future of the planet.
Evaluation ď‚— Students evaluated their work at different
stages of the project. Working in different teams and presenting from time to time their work and toys to the other classes and gave them the feedback they need to continue their work. "Reuse school objects,create new toys"

Main Idea of the project and aims: The project is focused on the study of the polar sciences, especially on the scientific research carried out in Antarctica with the Andrill project, in which it was studied in particular how changes in the polar helmets influenced climate change around the world. Check that Climate Change is already manifesting in our environment. Express own experiences after scientific analisys. Take action with the purchase and consumption of non-polluting products. Join the Teacher for Future project. Develop the Zero Waste Recess program. Put the 3 Rs into practice: reduce, recycle, reuse.
Methodology Research
Through the Twinspace we can share
basic material that we got from Scientists’ research of the Andrill and not only. Also, other kind of material about the topic of climate change has been used by us. etwinning
Peer to peer tutoring Thanks to ICTs tools such as
videochat and other collaborative online webtools, students have been able to work in mixed groups in different activities to develope the 4 language skills and to get deeper into this topic. Sync and Asyncronic activities were activated among partners.
First impacts On students: • Increament of students’ understanding of content knowledge (climate system, geologic time, and relationship between climate and human history) • Improvement of students’ information literacy in science using climate change and human interaction issues. • More conscious about On Teachers and teaching: • Increase of the international interaction to improve our teaching • Implementation of this topic in an interdisciplinary mode.

Students‘ works on SDG
Students write about problems in schools, in cities or countries and give solutions There are many cars and motorcycles in our district I want to find a solution for this. I live in Vilnius. Its a big city. We have a lot of pollution. In our city there is a lot of trash. Some people sort but others do not. We have a polluted air. People cut trees and destroy animal habitats. During the discussion we also thought about the particular help from us as a pupils. In the end we agreed that we can help our Earth using recycling because there is to much trash in the world. In my village, people don't throw trash in the bin, don't segregate them, they burn various plastic things. I live in Levadia. In my town there are these problems: there are a lot of rubbish on the roads, bad graffiti's on some walls and there are many dog dirts. There is also a lot of noise because of cars and motorbikes. I live in Lithuania town called TelĹĄiai. In TelĹĄiai we got these problems: Alot of people drive with cars motorbikes etc... I say we need more drive with bicycles or just go for the walk without any cars and motorbikes.

We are creating STEAM embassies in the European schools network Cristina Nicolăiță Gh. Magheru School Caracal, Romania
‘We are creating STEAM embassies in the European school network’ is an
eTwinning project for an Erasmus plus KA229 granted by European Union to share best practices and increase digital competencies across Europe.
ď‚— The Erasmus plus project is coordinated by
Internationella Engelska Skolan from Stockholm, Sweden. Partner schools from Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Sweden, Romania and Turkey, plan to share best practices and increase STEAM competencies not only across our six nations, but by promoting our work, across the European school network. eTwinning gives us this opportunity, and our school is the founder of the project on eTwinning portal, along with our Turkish partner.
Project journal The first four transnational meetings were: Mersin, Turkey, January 2019- focus on Engineering Stockholm, Sweden, April 2019- focus on Robotics and Technology Dublin, Ireland, June 2019- focus on Basic Science and Physics. Caracal, Romania, September 2019- focus on Ecology and Sustainability A usual day of a meeting would be full of challenges for our students, developing also their creativity, critical thinking and team work, many of them connected with climate change and environmental challenges. All activities were then presented and replicated in our school conditions, so as many students as possible could benefit from the experience of those participating in mobilities. They were mentors for their colleagues, a role they have taken very seriously.
Save the pelicans! The Pelican activity on making a nest that would protect the eggs perfectly, made the students think of how to build a unbreakable nest for a pelican with maximum eggs. The teachers and the students were instantly involved and we made a nest with 8 eggs. All eggs survived the ‘drop’ from 1m height and we had the opportunity to discuss about trial and error involved in learning Science and about the importance of collaboration and team work in choosing the best solution.
The friendly neighbourhood Designing a 'housing development project' was the second challenge which made us think about how to build a environment friendly community taking care of ‘Runoff’ issues. Our students designed a community that was capable of accommodating high income sources but also was equally innovative in dealing with runoff issues.

Pollution: a never-ending story
E-Twinning project 2019-2020
After writing the project plan we introduced ourselves, our schools and our areas
We celebrated the ‘Day of Languages’ and ‘ Halloween’
Then we created transnational teams which had chats to decide about the problem they wanted to talk about and the possible solutions.
Then the students started to write the story, chapter after chapter. Each chapter was divided into parts and each nation had to make a comic of its part following the given procedure. All the strips were uploaded in ‘Book Creator’.
