AIMS
With this project our aim is to integrate the school related sustainable development goals to our education curriculum and raise awareness and consciousness about this vital issue. We hope our students will learn the sustainable lifestyle habits which are necessary for their future. They will learn how to obtain, evaluate, store, produce, present and exchange information, learn the necessary vocabulary about sustainability and some basic web 2.0 tools, communicate and make presentations in a foreign language, gain social and civic competences and participate in collaborative networks over the Internet. The activities of the project will help them to improve their problem- solving, collaboration, cerativity, communication, analytic thinking, ethics, action and accountability skills. This project will also help our students to improve their multilingual, personal, social and learning to learn, citizenship, entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expression, digital,literacy competences.
