Preparation for the school event involves many students, each one with a different task. A commited second year student created a poster for the school event to happen on Friday, November 15. Another one volunteered to create an event on facebook to advertise for the event they organise. Many other students are doing on field visits to ask for the support of local authorities in Hammam-Lif to support their action. More details will be shared soon in a report about it.

Nabheni Secondary School eTwinprneurs, who are a group of students from different clubs at the school, are organizing an action to plant trees at the school garden. The campaign will take place on Friday, November 15th, 2019 starting from 13:00 pm. The participating volunteers are invited to bring a tree, a plant, or flower to plant in the school yard.
The aim behind this action is to make the school a pleasant studying environment by embellishing its garden. The main goal, however, is for students develop and run an action project or campaign related to climate protection as part of their actions to embed the Global Goals in their school projects and their community.
With joined efforts and more conciousness, we can improve the planet's situation, stop climate change and avoid our decay. Every small action matters.
"Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global solidarity."
Ban Ki-moon
We need you...your school needs you...the Earth needs you. We are waiting for you this Friday, will you answer the call? Feel free to join and share our event with your schoolmates.

We definitely still cherish our childhood memories of our grandparents telling stories. Most of us would not remember most of those stories. And I'm afraid that one day we lose that cultural heritage. Because it is important for the future generations to be rooted in their own culture and open to other nations, Grandma Stories in 2080 is a collaborative writing project that starts from the partner countries cultural heritage of tales grandparents or parents would tell their grandchildren/children. Furthermore, stories are powerful tools for education and to create change. Through storytelling, students reflect on serious issues such as environment, quality education, gender equality, peace, and justice while developing their language skills and creativity! The students taking part in the project co-write Grandma Stories to her grandchildren. As for the themes evoked in the stories, they are inspired from the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
Grandma Stories in 2080 is an eTwinning collaborative story writing project. That includes 3 schools from Tunisia and other schools from European countries.
As mentioned above this is a collaborative project that promotes cultural understanding through digital storytelling. The students from the different countries in the project collect stories narrated by their grandmathers in their native language and share them online in the form of podcasts and subtitled videos. The following padlet is a collection of the Tunisian stories translated to English by the Tunisian students.
Through listening to the diffrent stories, the students notice the structure of a narrative in order to write one. They also notice that there are similarities in fairy tales in different countries with more or less some change. The years of 2080's will be a time when the students taking part in the project would be grandparents. In this project, they write their own stories, the stories they would tell to their grandchildren, inspired from the #SDGs. What is particularly worth noting is that the project goes beyond merely sensitizing the students about global issues to urging them to take action to tackle real world problems and write a better version story of their future.
You can find here the final products of the project with a description of the collaborative process.

Mrs N. Zammouri was there for the event. The students were introduced to the goals, the purpose of the cause. The students were also sensitized to their role as an essential element of the chain. They interacted wih Mrs Zammouri and each other, shared how they could contribute by suggesting some solutions and ways they could contribute to see the goals well established. Other teachers, mentoring students in our school clubs, joined us during the event. They were curious to know about the SDGs. They asked us how they could join the stream as educators. This event was also an opportunity to disseminate our project (Grandma Stories in 2080) in our school to teachers and other students.
Here are some pictures of the event:
And here is a video about the event...

Because our future and that of our planet matters, it's substantial that we all take part to create the future we want. That's why, Nabheni students working on different projects collaborated to create an event via Facebook to raise their schoolmates awareness about some global issues such as peace and justice, climate change, gender equality, quality education, etc.. They called the event " Prenons notre futur en mains!" which means in English Let's Take our Future in our Hands. They invited Mrs Najet Zammouri, a Human Rights activist and member of the Tunisian Human Rights League. The expert talk will give the participants a thourough idea about the Sustainable Development Goals
Today our planet more than ever relies on its 1.8 billion youth, the largest youth population in history, to take action. Through their campaign, Nabheni students intend to sensitize their schoolmates to the importance of the SDGs and to raise their awareness to the fact that they are part of the solution by becoming advocates for the goals themselves or by taking small actions to support the SDGs in their community. Such actions would make a difference at a global scale if everyone contributes to the stream.
Stay connected ... You'll hear from us soon! Meanwhile, check more resources about the goals and how you may contribute as a teacher on THE WORLD'S LARGEST LESSON website. You may also want to take this free online course about the goals so that you become ready and equipped with tools to create your own activities on the topic. After finishing the course, you'll earn a digital badge and a certificate on the microsoft education platform.
