Green Skills

 In the learning zone: INTERACT

Students will get to know one another,
Students and teachers establish international teams, joining one of the teams on the padlet.
Students will discuss in forums of the TwinSpace their thoughts and feelings after watching some material
Students will learn what Carbon footprint, climate change, and air Quality is and how can we contribute to offset our carbon footprint and mitigate our impact on our environment.
Students will share their thoughts in an online meeting

In the learning zone: DEVELOP
Develop zone is a space for informal learning and self-reflection. Students can carry out MOOC work independently at their own pace, but they can also learn informally while concentrating on their own interests outside of the formal classroom settings at school, out of the school, in the park, at any other place and at home.
By providing ways to foster self-directed learning, the MOOC teachers support learners’ self-reflection and meta-cognition skills. 
The schools in the project encourage their students towards true lifelong learning by acknowledging and validating informal learning.

Students will calculate their Carbon footprint https://footprint.wwf.org.uk/#/ and gather some data: Tones of Carbon Dioxide (n tones)
Percentage of the Carbon footprint caused by our food (Food %)
Percentage of the Carbon footprint caused by our travel (Travel %)
Percentage of the Carbon footprint caused by our, home (Home %) and 
Percentage of the Carbon footprint caused by our stuff (Stuff%) 
Students will reflect about their impact on environment

In the learning zone: INVESTIGATE
Students will research how to mitigate and offset their Carbon Footprint
Students will research the Air Quality of the cities in the project (volunteer)
Students will investigate at school and at home detecting fails and propose how to become greener 
Students will gather information with their own images about what they buy to eat (packages…), where is food from, how they go to school, how they travel, habits at home and consumption habits… in order to be aware of their own impact on earth.
We investigate and learn from our mistakes, we don’t judge anyone.
In the learning zone: EXCHANGE
Exchange Zone places much importance on the ability to collaborate with others. The teamwork takes place while investigating, creating and presenting.
The quality of collaboration is composed of ownership, shared responsibility and decision-making process within groups.

ICT can help to create a richer way of communication and collaboration.
Students will exchage their ideas to imporve their environment at school and at home
Students will share their ideas to create a school plan to become greener at school and outside of school
Students will share tips to become greener and will get images of their changes of behaviour at home with packages or how they go by bycicle to school ar how they grow a plant at home..
Students will share ideas of Reduce-Reuse-Recycle stuff 

Key points for Exchange

Learning to communicate and work with others is probably one of the most valuable skills a student can learn. Extending this across the school can reinforce pupils’ sense of social responsibility
Teamwork for better inclusion: working in groups can teach students to take into account differences and include them as diversity always in a positive way.
Learning by playing, researching, doing, communicating..
Collaborating online: the exchange can be extended to after-school tasks with the aid of an online learning environment and supervised use of social networks.
Letting ideas fly: brainstorming is a great group activity, allowing pupils to exercise their natural creativity and imagination.

The teachers will be at their side, acting as coaches to support teams when needed.

Teamwork can take place at different stages of the scenario, for instance, while investigating, creating and presenting. 
The quality of student collaboration is composed of ownership, shared responsibility and by the decision-making process within the group.
