Our Sustainable Holiday Trip

   

Like every year our students get involved in eTwinning projects. Our sustainable Holiday Trip is a multidisciplinary project including schools from Tunisia, Italy and Romania. The idea of the project revolves around the theme of Sustainable Holidaying. Holidaying is a well-thought of enterprise. As such, we need to make the right choices and decisions. We should not only take in consideration our budget, our interests and needs but also think of the impact our activity may have on the climate, the environment and the planet . That’s why in our project “Our Sustainable Holiday Trip” our purpose is to foster a sustainability mindset by helping the students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to think, plan and act with empathy, responsibility, and care for our planet through the theme of holidaying. The 3rd grade maths  students with their partners   will thoughtfully design sustainable holiday brochures or videos collaboratively.

The project aims at the students to : 

• gain knowledge about the SDGs by investigating the aspects of sustainability in general and in the context of a holiday trip in particular
• examine the values and behaviours that will contribute to a sustainable future
• create a plan for a sustainable holiday trip as a way to act for a sustainable future
• develop English language skills
• develop life skills of collaboration, communication , critical thinking, problem-solving, flexibility, and self-regulation
• develop and foster the students digital competence
• learn to learn , to manage one's learning and to think critically

They also used discussion groups on messenger and facebook groups. Moreover, they wrote emails and created videos, they created posters collaboratively wrote a script for a collaborative video. The learning activities involved the students, their family members and friends through sharing tips on how to be positive during the quarantine.
