In this Erasmus+ mobility, the emphasis was on practical activities and examples of good practice. Workshops, debates and documentary visits were organized. The activities carried out managed to involve all the participants by helping them to recognize the problems related to the community in which they live and to determine the students to actively participate in various actions, so that they become active kids for a better future.
Games and activities were organized through which teaching methods and procedures were learned through which students could get to know the way of life of people with special needs and become more tolerant of them. Another issue addressed was the issue of energy resources. Documentary visits, presentations and debates showed the importance of organizing such activities with students, their families and the local community.
A model of a wind installation was made, a theatrical show written and directed by the students was made.
The activities were integrated in the program of the host school, the children being active in their realization.
Participants learned how the host school builds a close relationship with the students’ grandparents, with a strong impact on them. Participants developed skills to organize activities related to the lives of people with disabilities that convey to students tolerance and understanding of these groups of people.
The participants acquired the ability to organize activities through which students know and understand the danger of destructive use of natural resources and the possibility of replacing them with renewable resources, with green energy sources.
Participants learned about innovative practices for integrating social and environmental issues into the curriculum.
