Отчети по ERASMUS+ проект "ECO warriors - small steps"
Проект Eco warriror small steps включва ученици, учители и представители на местни общности от Северна Ирландия. Румъния, Литва, Турция и България и има за цел да провокира и подкрепя интереса на децата към екологията,което бе постигнато чрез ефективно сътрудничество на партньорите и успешното координиране на изпълнението на заложените дейности от координатора на проекта– Северна Ирландия,кaто увеличиха интереса за разбиране на нуждата от насочена екологична мисъл и активност в училище и извън него.В дейностите се включиха ефективно учители,ученици и родители ,които предварително провеждаха изследвания по тематиката на срещите;подготовяха презентации с резултати от изследователската работа;извършваха се и организационни дейности,свързани с безопасността на участниците по време на мобилностите.Всяка мобилност бе свързана с различна тема.Училището-домакин изготвяше програма за планираните дейности, както уроци с използване на дигитални приложения,семинари,дискусии, презентации, ролеви игри и др.Всеки участник получи сертификат за участие и бе вписан в присъстен списък. Крайните продукти са качени в платформата от координатора. България като партньор трябваше да направи уебсайт по проекта, в който вписваше всички налични документи и снимки. За съжаление уебсайта, който бе поддържат 3 години, точно преди отчитане на проекта, домейна бе откраднат и се наложи в последните седмици да създадем нов с опит да възстановим цялата информация от последните 3 години. Линк към откраднатия уебсайт https://www.schoolandcollegelistings.com/XX/Unknown/105992214747313/Eco-Warriors-Small-Steps
Изготвихме:

Представихме проекта и на местната общност,родители,който присъстваха на тържесвеното посрещане на гостите в България.Представителите на общинско ръководство и местни институции по време на срещата С3 в България, спомогна за популяризиране на целите и резултатите от проекта в обществеността. Организирахме и няколко еко изложби, коледна,мартенска, великденска и опазване на водата и планената, с произведения от рециклирани материали. Отчитахме работата по проекта и пред учителския съвет, родителски и обществен съвет, координатор, понякога през ZOOM, а по-късно и на срещи.
Поради затварянето на страната през пандемията не осъществявахме мобилност, а провеждахме онлайн срещи с учители и ученици, това доведе и до удължаване на проекта с още една година. В края на проекта нашите ученици, учители и родители написаха, че проектът е много интересен, задачите са добре подбрани, темите са актуални. Темите, които проучихме и обсъдихме бяха следните: Околна среда и изкуство;Околна среда и устойчивост;Околна среда и изменение на климата;Околна среда и спорт;Околна среда и наука. По време на всяка мобилност, училището от Литва подготвяше тематичен брошура или рекламни материали, свързани с информираност по всички теми. Темата на България беше околна среда и изкуство, като изградихме еко градина и засадихме зеленчуци и цветя, организирахме еко коледа, еко изложба за баба Марта и Великден, като учениците изработиха коледни играчки от рециклирани материали, изложба за баба Марта и изработихме Великденски яйца от прежда. Устойчивостта на резултатите от проекта може да се видят на нашия уебсайт, в нашия Еразъм+ кът, който вече не е просто кът, а голяма част от училището, където представяме нашите продукти и най-вече учениците, които надградиха техните знания.Този проект бе изпълнен с много трудности, но сме щастливи че успяхме да го завършим до край, без онлайн мобилности, а присъствени и без никакви усложнения при пътуванията.

Dissemination activity Bulgaria
- Teachers’ meetings – Erasmus+ introduction
Dates: September-December/ 2020
Description: After learning that our school will be a partner in the Erasmus project, at the beginning of the school year we convened the pedagogical council and introduced the teachers to the project. Most of the teachers knew about the Erasmus+ projects because of our previous experience and the school had participated in such projects, so we started by giving guidance and information on what the Erasmus projects are, but also more information about the new Eco project with which we started the new school year. We also notified the teachers who will be our partners and coordinators of the project. We briefed them about the projects in general, rules, activities, mobility, distribution, finances, etc. We wanted them to believe and get behind the project, because you can't manage projects without the support of all staff. This meeting was also organized to discuss the possible mobilities, the activities and tasks to be carried out before the visits, and the duration of the project. Meetings were organized both online with our partners from all countries and in person with parents and teachers to discuss whether such a transnational meeting would take place due to the looming threat of Covid 19. All countries were subsequently closed to travel abroad and mobilities in 2020 were and not recommended. Because we got into a Covid 19 situation, we had to postpone and extend the project by a year. We created a team of educators to help and work on the project. A working group was selected and an Eco Club was created with motivated students and parents.
As soon as the project started, we created a website that was our responsibility, a Facebook page, an etwining project as well as a WhatsApp group for a faster connection with partners.
- Parents’ meeting. Creating a project website, facebook page, information article and information board.

- In October 2020 and October 2021 we celebrated Erasmus days with kahoot games. We developed games on the topics related to ecology, and for Bulgaria the topic was recycling, reuse of garbage and healthy food. The days were celebrated by all the classes with participation in kahut and display of knowledge on the subject of three "R" - recycling. It has become a tradition for us to organize Kahoot games every Friday in each class related to environmental protection, water and recycling, as well as discussions on these topics about healthy eating and sports.

Creation of an Erasmus Corner in our school
Creation of Есо clubs
Description:
- We held a project meeting with parents and students during the regular parent meetings held at the beginning of each school year and informed them about the new project in which our school is participating. Today's children are born into a world where pollution is all around them, so environmental thinking and action must be nurtured from an early age, which is very important. So what should I do? We teachers should guide them to use separate garbage collection, environmental protection (flora and fauna), healthy lifestyle to learn what they need in a safe and fun way.

We teachers should guide them towards separate garbage collection, environmental protection (flora and fauna), healthy lifestyle to learn what they need in a safe and fun way. In our project we cover the topic very widely for sustainability, it has given us the flexibility to do many different activities, such as:
- we placed jars for kind wishes and words (praise) in the classrooms,
- We participated in charity activities for the local blind clubs and the neighborhood church.

Our project was a great chance to achieve these goals.
And that's why we created an eco club too. We started with the parents and informed them about the purpose of the project and wanted them to give permission for their children to participate in the project activities and participate in the new eco club that is starting up in the school. We also create Erasmus corner, the topic was the name of the project "Eco warriors". Erasmus' corner showed visually through different posters how nature has changed over time, what should be our actions to preserve it. We have placed recycling bins on every floor of the school and in some classrooms. We started growing an Eco-vegetable garden where the students grew their own organic fruits and vegetables. https://www.facebook.com/4OUBLG/posts/3630322347065578?ref=embed_post
