Description
Thematic Field: ECEC
The partner nursery schools from 6 countries with different climates, landscapes,
latitudes and natural heritage, aimed to encourage pupils to become euro-citizens
responsible for their environment through the theme of sustainable development.
Throughout the project pupils created their own “eco-code” step-by-step that depict
what is suitable and unsuitable for our planet hoping that this citizenship education
will change their habits for the benefit of themselves as citizens of the future. The idea
was to let children mind about that and together find and exchange ideas to spread
their ecological message. ICT tools and video and photos featured greatly in all
project activities.
The project also produced a book on the subject of the respect of our
environment, consisting of a chapter by country invented and illustrated by children.
The travelling mascots were the heroes; their adventures reflect the discoveries made
by children during the project. Each chapter was written in both language of its
author's country and reader's native language, to enable as many parents, children
and potential readers the opportunity to understand the stories. The book was
published on paper and digital version.
