The aim of this activity is to take environmental actions and to awaken the
interests of students, their families and local communities about environmental
issues. Students and teachers have been trained to find solutions to reduce
environmental pollution and to promote initiatives in the field of nature
protection, to organize educational campaigns to protect the environment,
recycle and save natural resources. At the same time, we had a chance to
improve the language skills of communication in English, to get to know new places
in terms of historical, cultural and geographical fields, to develop team
spirit and to expand a European citizen consciousness, based on values such
as tolerance, respect and the recognition of
differences.
On Monday, March 18th 2019,
the opening was held at the school gym, where the
objectives of the meeting were announced, the participating countries and their
schools were introduced, students and teachers were handed gadgets and
materials promoting the LTT meeting, the project’s main activities done in each
school were shown by students in PPT presentations and videos prepared in
advance in their countries. During the opening meeting the memories from the
1st LTT meeting were also reminded, all participants were informed about the
meeting program and planned activities. The meeting was supported by performances
of the school artists.
The
event was a special one in the local community; it has been proven by the
presence of the representatives of local authorities who attended the meeting
and Zespol Szkol Ogolnoksztalcacych i Zawodowych benefited of their support for
the smooth running of the activities that took place in the week 17th-23rd
March 2019, in Przeworsk. In addition, the team of coordinating teachers, students
helping in the meeting organisation and class delegations were also present.
After the opening, teachers and students were shown the school building, they
could see the photo exhibitions, activities and results of project actions taken
at school ( recycling waste containers, energy- saving light bulbs and
paper-saving classroom equipment, water-saving areators, posters and stickers
displayed in corridors and classrooms reminding about the necessity of saving
natural resources and the environment protection, battery and plastic caps
containers serving for charity gathering, bio-bins and compost containers used
for a school garden ) as well as watch live lessons and get to know and make
new schoolmates.
On Tuesday, March 19th
2019, two
thematic visits were held in Krosno, the city which is the largest glass and glass fibre production centre in
Europe. At first, a visit at the Glass Heritage
Centre which is not an "ordinary" museum. It is, above all, a
fascinating place which makes the visitors realise how many secrets are hidden
in glass and its production. We could actively participate in the process of
glass production, hold the pipe and discover the magical art of glass-blowing, see
the artists designing their glass works, watch the film about the history of
Glass production in Krosno, take part in the workshops with glass decoration as
well as admire hundreds of glass exhibits also made out of waste glass which
give them incredible design. The next visit was at the Subcarpathian Museum
where we could admire the largest in Europe exhibition of lamps. They are in different shapes and colours, are produced from different
materials, using different techniques. We could also
enlarge our knowledge about the history of lighting. This exhibition chronologically presents different types of light
sources, from fire, through torches, candles, oil and paraffin lamps to
electric lamps.
On Wednesday, March 20th 2019, Recycling workshops
were organized at school, students created things
out of recycled materials: paper, plastic, glass. Materials used for the
worhshop were gathered in advance in special waste containers at school.
Recycled objects were displayed in the exposition of art works, and then
prepared for the Easter Fair aimed at raising money for charity. In the
afternoon a study visit was held at the
Gran – Tech company – a leading recycler of rubber in the region which proves
its concern for the protection of nature and the
environment. We could observe and were informed about
the process of recycling rubber waste into manufacturing goods used in road
traffic, drives, gardens, horse tracks, sport centres, fitness gyms and
playgrounds. At the end, all students and teachers were given the recycled
gadgets and materials showing the idea of 3Rs processes – Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle.
On Thursday, March 21st
2019, a trip to Rzeszów was organised, we
took part in the lecture „Sustainable development.
How to monitor my activity” at University of Rzeszow – faculty of biology and
agriculture. The lecturer, prof. dr hab. Joanna Kostecka presented
students and teachers interesting ideas concerning the environment protection, what
we should do and what we should avoid in order to leave our planet in the good
condition for our future generations. We could also get some hints what actions
we must take to make our schools, houses and workplaces sustainable and what we
can do to act in a sustainable way in our everyday life because everyone can
find their own way to achieve it. In the afternoon all Erasmus+ teams competed
in the location-based game in the
town. The game called „It’s easy being green: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” prepared
by students, involved solving puzzles and doing tasks in four different bases
in Przeworsk. The exercises were aimed to realise students the importance of
the environment protection, the need of recycling and show them the ways of
being eco-friendly. It proved again that learning by playing is really
effective and helped in practising and developing language skills.
On Friday, March 22nd
2019, a thematic visit was organized at the
Waste Water Treatment Plant in Cracow, where students had the opportunity to
see one of the most modern wastewater treatment technologies in Poland, get to
know how the station works, what technologies are used to purify wastewater and
bring quality water into the houses and public places. On the tour with
technical managers, we saw each station component and were supplied with some
practical everyday advice, for example what we should not throw to the toilets
and about a necessity of saving water. Being in Cracow, the former capital city
of Poland, we could not omit the places important in terms of culture and
history: the Wawel Castle, the Cracow’s symbolic dragon, the Market Square and
the historic churches.
Analyzing the training and learning activity in our school, we realised:
- a very good interaction between
partners, sharing ideas, pleasant working atmosphere;
- the objectives have been well defined
and achieved in full;
- the documentary visits were well
organized, helping the partners to enrich their notions about ecological
actions and Polish culture;
- workshops have been carried out in right
conditions, with partners contributing equally to the achievement of tasks;
- a good collaboration between local
decision-makers, parents, teachers, students has been proven;
- the promotional materials were visible
and performed correctly;
- participants received the attendance
certificates at the meeting.
The conclusion was that the objective of
the meeting was successful and the impact on the target group was positive.
