About the project

 

Τhe project "Environmental migration: Our voice, our power" invites our students and teachers to reflect on all the current problems but also to act upon as a digital citizens. The aim of the project is to create opportunities for the social interaction of young people by fostering intercultural dialogues among young people from different countries and helping them develop a mutual understanding. Specifically, the project will focus on environmental migrant, human rights, awareness for policies for migration, cultivating the interdisciplinary spirit among students, collaboration and resilience and learning the values of respect. 

Students will be engaged in searching for material so as to compose their own research. There will be different sub-topics in each team. Awareness of climate change that affect migration is extremely important, especially in an era where the phenomenon of migration is leading younger generations towards forgetting. Activities will be aimed at promoting environmental migrants, human rights, the idea of the school as a place for constructive and creative learning, participation in life as an aware citizen of the particular country and of the European and international community. 

During: For the training lectures, presentations and demonstrations will be used along with more active and interactive methods such us workshops, hands-on activities, collaborative learning by design project and study trips, discussions and online interactions. The participants are expected to be active, collaborative and creative. In the field work trainees observe, research information, collect material for learning multimedia objects, and take interviews in order to produce learning materials and stories. 

After: The participants will evaluate the program and will continue to interact online, after the face-to- face session, in dissemination and follow-up actions. 

We hope that the end result of this synergy will be a decrease of of environmental migration, human rights and violations in society, at least by the participating students, as a deeper appreciation of diversity promotes tolerance and understanding. This will be assessed at the beginning, middle and end of the project. We hope to get statistically significant and detectable results!
