Project based learning for a sustainable future
The Erasmus+ project "Project based learning for a sustainable future" will connect two internationally recognized sustainability projects in Ireland and Germany. Under the Erasmus+ project Belvedere College and Gymnasium Ochsenhausen will share teaching and learning practice whilst developing a seven-week teaching module for each host project in addition to individual lessons plans directly linked to curriculum teaching. Students and teachers will also work together to design a project website that will facilitate the real time monitoring of data variables related to the generation and storage of renewable energy by the two host projects. This website will also contain relevant teaching material and a forum for students to exchange ideas about project development. Hands-on experience of partner projects will be facilitated during two student exchanges when students will learn about each others work and develop ideas about other potential sustainability initiatives. It is expected that the project will contribute to the broader debate as to how schools respond to the challenges and opportunities connected to climate change through dissemination activities within the school community and by promoting awareness of the project outside the partner schools. In the longer term, the two partner schools will aim to develop further links to other European and international schools that are developing responses to the environmental challenges that face the planet as a whole.
