Descrizione del progetto/Describe the project :
Project-partners (schools from Greenland, Faroe Islands and Saaremaa(Estonia)) have similar geographical situation (island - with natural and unique environment, also touristic destination), different historical background with similar trends and similar problems for local citizens (how to keep the cultural and environmental heritage- connect this with sustainable development priorities- citizens participation in democratic decisions).
The most important project goal is to make pupils interested to use their knowledge and creativity in order to gain their own consciousness about the contents of the project, to share data which they have gathered with the local community and furthermore with anyone who might be interested in the natural and cultural richness and diversity of the area where they live and come from.
During our first project-meeting in Estonia we participated in world biggest civic action - World Cleanup Day. In cooperation with local authorities we were organizing couple of waste collection activities: clean up surroundings for international sport competition, as student self-initiative we made several waste collection trips in parks. Students have learned how to prepare those activities, how to use ICT during mass-actions and how to work in cooperation with local community. After our first meeting all partners were planning similar activities in their local community which are connected with sustainable development priorities and citizens participation in democratic decisions. During project-meeting on Faroes in workshops we learned how to stand up against the global trash problem. We participated in sea-garbage sorting action and learned a lot about recycling possibilities. Based on gathered project-experience greenlandic school organizes in September 2019 own World-Clean-Up activity in their local community - as a good example of local initiative and citizens participation.
Our project shows possibilities how these topics can be involved into school-curriculum, how to involve students and parents, how connect project-based learning with real world problems. We hope that the students became aware of their own capabilities at achieving something good for their local communities.

In che modo il progetto usa le tecnologie in modo innovativo/Use of technologies ...:
During project-works we offered lot of possibilities to use ICT as a tool for simultaneous online-work. We have used some older students as mentors for youngers, so they have improved their leadership-skills. Teachers tried to find best solutions for using ICT during project, they have tested also different apps (Padlet, H5P, eTwinning tools, video-editors, socialmedia, GoogleDrive etc) to organize project-works, to share the results and duties.
During participation in real-life activities (World-Cleanup-Day) as a good example how to connect active and informal learning - participants have learned how to use web for planning, organizing and project-following in real-time.
For project-works we have used also eTwinning tools.

Quali sono le aspettative future?/What are future expectations?:
As climate change and environmental issues are very actual nowadays - it gets very important role in each school- curriculum and it will be integrated with other subjects. During our project students had good friendship relations, they continue communication through social-media even after project, also there are good relations between teachers of partner-schools, it means that this is a good base for future projects. As all partners are originated from islands we share similar problems and similar visions about our future. Activities and methods what we have participated and used will be used in partners schoolcurriculum and extra-curriculum activities (organizing world-clean-up type activities, sea-waste collecting actions, propagating plogging-type lifestyle activities etc).
