Value education and ecological responsibility
The project "Value education and ecological responsibility" wishes to help pupils and parents realize the ecological problems existing within the area they live in and the whole European space as well. During their lessons from the school curriculum and extracurricular activities students will talk about things which pollute the air, destroy the natural habitat, kill plants and animals, change our lives.
They will recognize the problems, write about them and share them with colleagues from school, their parents, friends and other people from their community. They will learn how to change the way they live, how to respect what we have, how to help the environment firstly by saving paper, water, energy.
Knowing that Earth resources aren't endless, students will be educated for values such as: responsibility, family, tolerance, respect and non-violence. Students and their teachers will try to find sustainable solutions to minimize the problems they have discovered.
