From 22nd to 26th September 2025, the first mobility of our Erasmus+ partnership took place at Scoala Gimnaziala Nr 279, Bucharest, Romania.
According to the project plan, the activities aimed to Build Eco-Consciousness among the participating students and teachers (3 students and 2 teachers from France, 2 teachers and 3 students from Estonia, 2 teachers from Turkiye, and 9 students and over 6 teachers from the host school).
The objectives of this mobility were:
*involve students in leading eco-conscious initiatives within their communities.
*foster collaboration between schools, authorities, and community stakeholders.
*provide practical experiences in organizing sustainability campaigns.
*inspire students to engage their communities in sustainability practices.
The activities organised were:
-Welcome speech by headmistress and kick-off lecture by coordinators (France&Romania), Ice-breaking cultural activities (show by the students included)
-Collaborative activity - Introduction to the three schools' previous eco-conscious projects and community engagement initiatives.
The mixed groups of students tested the other teams’ knowledge of ecology and how to become eco-conscious. The Turkish representatives supervised this activity and explained the concepts.
Each student from the 3 teams presented to the other members their school’s previous activities related to the topic. The mixed groups of students will make a quiz to test the other teams’ knowledge of ecology and how to become eco-conscious. The Turkish representatives will supervise this activity and will explain the concepts.
Each student from the 3 teams will present to the other 2 members their school’s previous activities related to the topic. They will take notes while listening.
The teachers prepared a set of questions (or a Kahoot) based on the facts mentioned by the students in their presentations.
The students and teachers from each country answered the questions.
