This project aims to develop specific skills that contribute to the general well-being, namely in the health and environment sector; development of critical and creative thinking; scientific, technical and technological knowledge; artistic and aesthetic sensitivity; interpersonal relationships, as well as development and personal autonomy.
Work Process
Participating schools should develop research work on the subject and information collected will be presented in a common document (video, presentation or other considered pertinent).
The interaction between the participants will be taken within TwinSpace (Forum/Chat), so that each working group shares their ideas and conclusions.
Each group of students should:
- 1st: Research the theme (microplastics, BPA's, ...)
- 2nd: Create presentations to be published in TwinSpace.
- 3rd: Share in a Forum their conclusions and suggestions.
- 4th: Present options for transformation/reuse of materials no longer used (trash).
- 5th: Each partner must take a voluntary action, collecting waste in a riverside area of their region.
- 6th: With the residues found, each team must create sculptures or murals that compete to the title of best TrashArt.
TrashArt exhibitions will take place in each school. The trashart pieces from each school will compete in an international competition for the top project's TrashArt piece.
