Our Take Care! Sustainable children - sustainable Earth - Erasmus+ project consists of Study projects 1, 2, 3 and 4 with green topics.
Study projects consist of lessons, projects, optional studies, whole school events and contact to other project member countries. Each country organizes the project differently, but the topics are the same. The aim is to study some of the topics together in international groups in order to have direct international contacts.
We have also six LTTs in the project, study visits to the project countries, where students and teachers learn about different green topics in many active ways.
Due to the pandemy situation, the project has been prolonged by 12 months. The Stydy projects were planned to cover one term each but the Study project 2 covers more months and the others were moved forward. Also the LTTs have been postponed. However, we take care that it doesn't affect the contents of the project. We try to realize the object of the LTTs in other ways.
We measure the impact of the project with questionnaires for students, teachers and parents.
