CAN - Climate Action Now is a two-year-long cross-curricular project with sustainable activities. The curriculum-based project grew out of the identified need to grow and develop a sustainable environment that benefits us in the way it improves the quality and sustainability of life at schools. Certainly, we cannot continue to consume non-renewable Earth's resources at the current rate. The crucial is the need to educate people from a young age.The project brings together teachers and students from six different European countries (Finland, Poland, Portugal, France, Spain and Croatia) in learning to think globally and work on activities that contribute to the community's well-being. Our MAIN AIM is to integrate topics about sustainability throughout the School's curriculum in a holistic manner.For efficiency, we have made a detailed list of monthly activities and equally distribute them among all partners. Activities are divided into FOUR categories:CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVITIES include research and numerous workshops through which students and teachers will get a wider picture of strong connections of human activities and climate change. Some of the activities will include measuring and using the Arduino device. Students will measure the pollutants that are contributing to the cause of global climate change in a very interesting, interactive and engaging way and do it in different EU locations: mountains, plains and seaside, extremely hot, continental climate and ever-cold climate countries, inside glaciers and in the ocean. Students they will also act locally in their schools and homes by reducing plastic and become aware about the presence of a large number of microplastic particles in everyday products. Students and teachers will share their knowledge of how all pollutants are contributing to climate change and how we can save our planet by being responsible from a young age. School and local community AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES are practical activities to make schools more sustainable. They will start with introducing all the participants of the project what awareness campaigns are, how to plan, organize and conduct them. Each team will find workable solutions to reduce their footprints in their daily life based on researches in their schools.As a result, MULTILINGUALISM ACTIVITIES will have cross-curriculum lessons in English that will be part of the curriculum for a new school year. Teachers and students involved in the project will gain a better understanding and respect toward different languages and better see the benefits of the ability to speak multiple languages.Eco newsletter will also be published in English and translated to other languages (French, Spanish, Polish, Finish and Croatian).CULTURAL DIVERSITY ACTIVITIES stimulate interest in European culture, contribute to innovation and creativity. Students and teachers will explore the cultural heritage of included countries and gain a better understanding, accepting and valuing diversities. It will help them thrive in our ever-changing society. Students will play an active role in planning, implementing and reporting the activities by using the latest IT-technology and eTwinning platform. Students and teachers will also have online meetings.Besides activity-based, child-directed learning and peer learning methods, collaborative international teams will work together on Eco newsletter that will reflect our actions. It will be published on the schools' website. THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT is in its activities and actions that accelerate progress towards sustainable development. We hope to change the mindsets of students, parents, teachers and community members involved to become more aware of the importance to take personal responsibility actions. The students will begin changing the world by starting locally, in their school and local environment, and thinking globally.
