Comenius Multilateral School Partnership<br />
Countries involved:<br />
BG, EE, FR, IT, SI, UK<br />
Key words: Curriculum<br />
Description:<br />
Thematic Field: ECEC<br />
The purpose of the partnership was to raise the awareness of the recycling issue at<br />
kindergarten level, with the help of teachers, parents and school staff. The<br />
children learned about the waste that is thrown away, what happens to it, and how it<br />
can harm the environment.<br />
Thought the different activities, children learned about the partner countries,<br />
exchanged items they had made from recycled materials (toys, artwork, postcards,<br />
etc.) and enriched their vocabulary and understanding about the recycling issue.<br />
Two booklets were produced for partners on paper and plastic recycling with<br />
activities and products made of paper by children involved in English. The exhibitions<br />
of the children's work were displayed publicly in each school for all children and<br />
teacher's to see; furthermore, questionnaires were distributed to raise the awareness<br />
also of parents about recycling.<br />
A brochure containing information about the partners, the project objectives, activity<br />
calendar, instructions for making items with recycled materials, etc. was distributed to<br />
all the families involved in the project and also to officials. At the end of the project<br />
the outcomes were assembled and published on the project website.<br />
