We have to value the environment and everything around us.

I really like how the video target 6 key areas on which we should focus on in order to make Education for sustainable development from vision to reality. I would definitely use some ideas from the guide for our school interview local farmers, male and female, to learn how climate change affects them, make graphs to show changes in school energy use, use work place safety measures that protect the health of female and male workers and the environment, asw. I love all of those examples how we can teach climate change in subjects. All of those examples make sense for our school and for every class. We would definitely have to go trough some challenges but it is a necessity that we would fight for a good cause and to take go towards a better and sustainable future.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm openminded and I like to relive any suggestion...I think students of all ages are attracted to the movies and videos..I'll use even your advice we received through this course...of course the age of the students should limit our activities but however there is always something that we can do with them.

The video is inspiring and the ideas are great. I quote for example the fixing of an action strategy before everything else or that of proceeding in stages so that our action is well studied and effective too or the idea of ​​seeking external support like NGOs to lend us a hand , give more importance and legitimacy and scope to our movement.

# data[].attributes.body
In our school we have a school garden. It is a project that started two years ago so we are still working in order to introduce it in the school curriculum. A coordination between teachers was definitely needed so we created a team to coordinate activities. Our next step will be to create a bank of activities with access to all the school to introduce them in the curriculum.
Families are also welcome to participate and propose ideas to improve the garden.

These are examples of good practice, which show us how schools should prepare students for living and dealing with climate change
In my schools ESD is not part of the curriculum; of course teachers include it in their lessons in many subjects, however the ministry education hasn’t given a specific direction, because it is, as a matter of fact a controversial subject, which involves politics. Most teachers lack the necessary expertise to deal with the problem.  As a teacher, a feel responsible for my role and I try to do by best to develop students’ understanding hoping they would play an active role for a future change. Most active schools in Italy join the project of Green school

In occasione della conferenza ONU di Rio su Ambiente e Sviluppo del 1992 viene identificata la necessità di coinvolgere i giovani nella ricerca di soluzioni alle sfide ambientali e di sviluppo sostenibile a livello locale.

Nel 1994 la FEE (laFoundation for Environmental Education ) raccoglie l'invito e sviluppa il programma Eco-Schools nel Regno Unito con un partner scozzese la UNEP (United Nations Environment Program ).

Green Schools, conosciute internazionalmente come Eco-Schools, è un programma internazionale di Educazione Ambientale, che promuove e riconosce azioni delle scuole per la tutela e conservazione dell'ambiente. A differenza dei soliti progetti, Green Schools è un programma a lungo termine di gestione ambientale con lo scopo di aumentare la consapevolezza fra gli studenti dei problemi ambientali con azioni non solo nelle scuole ma anche sul territorio.

6000 scuole hanno guadagnato la green flag, la bandiera verde, simbolo internazionale del progetto.

Qualche dato internazionale:

43 nazioni in Europa, Africa, America, Asia, stanno attualmente adottando il programma di Green Schools;

27000 scuole collaborano a livello internazionale con gemellaggi o stage, offrendo l'opportunità di familiarizzare con diverse tradizioni e culture costruendo ponti diamicizia fra di loro.

6000000 di studenti, 400000 insegnanti e 4000 enti locali partecipano a questo grande progetto.

Quali sono i vantaggi per le scuole?

Il programma Eco- Schools porta al prestigioso premio internazionale dell'ambiente la - bandiera verde - Le scuole saranno orgogliose e festeggieranno per il raggiungimento di tali elevati standard di educazione e gestione ambientale.

Il programma fornisce indicazioni circa il risparmio energetico, riducendo gli sprechi, e attuando programmi di riduzione e riciclaggio dei rifiuti a lungo termine.

Le Amministrazioni comunali e del territorio potranno constatare i risparmi e le riduzioni percentuali delle scuole con le strategie messe in atto; le migliori azioni adottate potranno essere esportate come modello ad altre realtà scolastiche o del territorio.

E in ITALIA ?

La situzione italiana per quanto riguarda l'Educazione alla sostenibilità nelle scuole è purtroppo ancora confusa e poco coordinata.

In seguito ad un accordo programmatico con il ministero dell'Ambiente, nel 2001 si sviluppano nelle regioni organizzazioni reticolari con una serie di nodi costituiti da centri di Educazione ambientale ed Osservatori ambientali per la Sostenibilità.

Con queste prospettive nasce un centro di coordinamento regionale chiamato REDUS, con l'obiettivo di realizzare una rete nazionale per l'educazione alla sostenibilità ambientale.

Nasceranno in seguito in tutte le regioni italiane numerosi enti, soggetti che gestiranno questi percorsi di E.S.S. (educazione sviluppo sostenibile ) con progetti, concorsi ed attività varie.

In qualche regione alcune scuole hanno prodotto lavori o progetti sulla sostenibilità ambientale ispirandosi ad alcuni temi del progetto internazionale di Eco-Schools ottenendo in qualche caso come riconoscimento anche la bandiera verde.

Come si può ben capire non esiste ancora un protocollo italiano che coordina tutte queste azioni.

Il nostro obiettivo è quello di far nascere anche in Italia le Green Schools- le Scuole a Scelta Verde italiane sul modello di quelle europee ed americane però con un percorso didattico - operativo da noi elaborato.

Siamo anche in completa sintonia con il programma internazionale delle ECO - SCHOOLS dedicato alle scuole per la gestione, certificazione ambientale e per l'educazione allo sviluppo sostenibile.

L' intenzione è quella di attivare nella Provincia di Varese una rete di Istituti scolastici, in grado di applicare il metodo indicato dal programma internazionale Eco-Schools.
Avranno un taglio ed una veste tutta italiana, più snella originale e concreta che le contraddistinguerà dalle concorrenti pur rispettando gli obiettivi internazionali prestabiliti.
Saranno un importante riferimento ed una preziosa risorsa di educazione e sostenibilità ambientale per tutte le scuole italiane.

Bisognerà coinvolgere tutti gli studenti e far capire che possono essere fin da ora i responsabili ed i protagonisti del cambiamento, lavorando tutti insieme, verso l'obiettivo principale di un futuro sempre più sostenibile.

Dall'istituto comprensivo G. LEVA di TRAVEDONA, dalla Regione Lombardia, in stretta collaborazione con gli Enti, Istituzioni ed Associazioni del nostro territorio partirà in via sperimentale, come progetto pilota nazionale, questa rivoluzione verde di sensibilizzazione, conoscenza e realizzazione di pratiche sostenibili per migliorare le condizioni ambientali nelle scuole con proposte concrete, soluzioni di conservazione e miglioramento della vivibilità dei nostri ambienti e territori.
go green 2011
Lo slogan sarà:

Tutte le scuole dovranno fin da ora incominciare a pensare verde.

Pensiamo che nel giro di due tre anni nasceranno le prime Green Schools Italiane.

Sarebbe anche interessante che in occasione dell'apertura di MLANO EXPO 2015 venissero presentati a questa grande platea internazionale, magari nello stand della scuola italiana, questi progetti elaborati dalle scuole scelta verde sulla sostenibilità ambientale, risparmio energetico e riduzione CO2, mobilità sostenibile, riciclaggio, energie rinnovabili, perchè oltre che ad essere temi in linea con quelli propri dell' EXPO sono argomenti che dovrebbero far rifletterte sul ruolo e le opportunità per una città come Milano , portabandiera nel 2015 di un tema centrale per la sopravvivenza del Pianeta.

I think the initiatives and ideas shown in the video are very interesting. Surely, are some ideas I could borrow to use in my kindergarten, the idea involving students in a practical project. For example: „Our green corner” project, in wich students will plant trees, flowers, seeds in the kindergarten yard.

# data[].attributes.body
The video is inspiring, all the ideas are very important and every action counts. I have ideas on how to encourage students to participate and give importance to the preservation of the environment: recycling, planting trees, participation in NGO actions in their city, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The initiatives shown are very useful and inspiring for me and they can be adopted in my school.Some of them have already been  put into practice.We can collaborate with other schools in an eTwinning project, we can invite representatives from NGO to help us involve more the community in our actions, we can also create a school garden with vegetables, we can take part in international events as the Earth Hour or Environmental Day.
The challenge would be for us to involve parents and locals but with a help of a NGO this would be easier.

# data[].attributes.body
The video details 6 very interesting and enriching initiatives. my opinion about them is that they are very well planned, however we can improve them as with the use of Tic's, do virtual activities that in normal situations we cannot, such as seeing the passage of time in the world with climate change, interact with other children from other countries and carry out multicultural projects appreciating the diversity of the world and the different needs and problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to point out those ways students could develop actions around the school wide climate crisis issue, such as:
- Have an organic garden. Students can make books on garden care, which vegetables are typical of the area, a recipe book with food and its benefits, a plant book ...
- A recycling area, for students to make explanatory videos to post on the coelgio website, to hold parent workshops to learn how to act at home ...

# data[].attributes.body
All means should be used to make children aware of the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. Thanks to the suggestions contained in the guide and the film, they can be adapted to children at every educational level

# data[].attributes.body
Children are always excited about environmental projects. The ideas presented in the video are very interesting and can easily be examples for the involvement of my students in environmental actions. In this way, activities can be carried out in which groups of children from other schools, local authorities and even parents can be involved. From a good collaboration, wonderful things can result.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very important to design a practical project  I will work on the energy used in school. To formalize empower students creating a green committee to hear their decisions and work to reuse what we can in the artwork.

# data[].attributes.body
We actually involved our students in a project to create sustainable paper bins, among other issues.

Climate change projects can be carried out in schools. It is made by matching the curriculum easily.

It is important to structure a project and the steps shown in the video are simple and facilitate its implementation in school projects.

# data[].attributes.body
We had two teams like that at school two years ago. One team was energy detectives. Their duty was to control electricity buttons and taps and also warn their friends. We had another team noise busters to reduce the noise at school. Seeing the idea here made me happy. I think we shold continue with this team idea. It was really effective.

# data[].attributes.body
All the ideas are very important.Espicially a climate action team in school.

# data[].attributes.body
Some goals that have common aspects from European sustainable development goals can be included in the curriculum with an interdisciplinary approach. for example; sustainable cities and communities, such as responsible consumption and production ...

# data[].attributes.body
All the ideas are very important. I consider we should use most of them.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing the curriculum by creating time and space for sustainability across the whole school can result in better climate action and awareness. Establishing partnerships with external organisations can also enhance  school sustainability. challenges around policy could be problematic

It makes sense starting with small steps with the subject or cross curricular project. This can then inspire students to take further action. One way to engage the school management if they see that the project will bring rewards - school's like to have labels, as it provides something to work for with the end result - Eco-Schools is one of the ways this can be achieved.

The video condenses the Key ideas of the path to follow.
Point 3. "Engage People" is crucial,  starting with families.
Learning inschools must find fertile ground in the place where students live, intwo main ways:
1.complement and deepen Knowledgement and skills;
2.depending on the characteristics if the household to take information to each household ( this is the beginning to envolve citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
There are wonderful ideas that can serve as inspiration or be fully used. I think that exploring the sustainability development goals by UN are a good starting point to start a project in our school. For instance, the second goal - zero hunger. Students could do some research on foog grown locally and also plant and grow their own vegetables somewhere in their school and they collect and serve a meal cooked with what they have planted.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very important to design a practical project: in my school I will work on energy used in school. To formalise it the first step is to empower students creating a green committee to hear their decisions. They can work on Math the electricity bill. In Geography they can learn about renewable energy sources and look for alternatives.

They can create brochures or posters to encourage peers and teachers to reduce. They can record a video to share the activities developed. After that they can  conduct a research on perception to value the internal and external impact.
A second year project could be to create a space  to work in the project.

Developing external relationships is also a goal to make more progress on this project.

# data[].attributes.body
All the ideas presented both in the video and in the guide are valuable . Many schools are currently developing and implementing these ideas.  However, I believe that it is crucial to have a common EU policy towards CCE.

# data[].attributes.body
The young students of the school were involved in eco-friendly activities. For example we went to the town park and monitored the birds and tried to follow their movements and songs.  Many of our students work on the family vegetable gardens that is why they work about  own food. I will borrow ideas for the guide for my Chemistry lessons with the older students. I would like to develop their sense for nature conservation and to improve responsibility for reducing waste.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all the tips and ideas in the video and in the guide are useful and provide the means to change  school structures into more sustainable and climate-friendly centres. However, as it is said in the video, it is necessary to take little steps at the beginning. From a teacher's perspective, there are two main  aspects that I consider have the priority.
The first one has to do with individuals. In a foreign language (English) class, the development of the communicative and critical skills in a second language are central introducing information about the climate change and sustainability. There are some specific tips and comments in the guide that I welcome because they strengthen my intuitions on how to make students sensitive towards these issues.
The second one has to do with the creation of networks of teachers of different subjects to develop particular projects. Active and cooperative learning can provide the methodological framework. The knowledge of English and other foreign languages should play an important role in all the tasks that involve searching for relevant information and the writing or translating of texts. Once these networks have been created, it will be the time to start with more ambitious structural innovations.

All this ideas are so good!I think I will use some in my future activity, for exemple, I will put my students to take interview for other students about sport, climate and to see their really thoughts.
After, I will develop a strategy to innovate my school in to a green school with healty students and healthy behaviour!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that creating a climate action team at school would be an excellent idea. The team would aim to make a diagnosis of the different services of the school and together with the leaders and the municipalities, it would carry out an action plan for the necessary changes in each discipline so that the concept of sustainability was addressed in all of them.

# data[].attributes.body
The couse offered me ideas for project-base teaching and climate change is an issue that became important at the international level. We have to keep the pace and make partnerships with schools from other countries to aapt these ideas and take steps in solving the causes of pollution. Our students are the future generation, and they must be educated for a safer future.

# data[].attributes.body
The guide and the ideas offered by this course are the key ideas for a modern education and modern development of society. The best idea for me is "Engage People" because for me people are the vehicle of change and reconstruction.

# data[].attributes.body
For me all parts are important and have to be in a project of this characteristics, specially if we want to leave mark in our students. We have made some projects similar fron the technology department and we follow these steps.
The most difficult part for me is to formalize it and also engage the curriclum, this "formal part" is the one that costs and effort most both to teachers and students, and the only way we have overcome them has been to leave enough time to develop the project well without hurries, fullfilling well every step.

# data[].attributes.body
Projects develop education for sustainable development, and the development of relationships,. The ideas developed in the guide are inspiring, a source of ideas which are to be put in practice in each school

# data[].attributes.body
These ideas presented in the guide are inspiring but they must be adapted in accordance with the age and the level of study of the students. I like the idesa of implying the parents and other colleagues and even the local authorities in these projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they should become a goal for every school in the world. I would like to borrow all of them, starting from the beginning. Maybe the most challenging step would be engaging collegues and parents in the project. I would try to convince those who are not interested about the importance of this issue. On the contrary, I don't have any doubt about the commitment of the students.

# data[].attributes.body
i loved the video examples. They show what can be done when a school is united in terms of their environmental and sustainability goals. This is the challenge-to get everyone on board-but a united cross-curricular approach brings real benefits to the pupils in terms of active learning and being immersed in a real-life sustainable environment everyday. I have plans to some day, somehow get solar panels for our school.

# data[].attributes.body
Really there are losts of things to do. I believe that the problem are in the people and the oraganizations, they don´t have the resources and they don´t have provisiones the methods and the time to make a real change in our minds.

# data[].attributes.body
It's just start by a small idea, jump into it and from then on continue following these useful guidelines. So, go for it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most interesting point is engage people. I think that if you want to build an eco-friendly school you will need the help of all the community. Firt of all, the staff, and then the families and students. But I also think that the local authorities should get involved in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that engagin the students and even prople from outside the student community is key to lead a successfull project.

Giving agency to students and making it feel less imposed onto them.

But the main problem I see is how to fit it in our calendars and curriculums, already brimful of other content.

# data[].attributes.body
I do like the idea of engage people, involving parents and colleagues in the activities because is the best way for children to understand the importance of working together, as this issue concerns all of us.

# data[].attributes.body
There are very interesting ideas in the video ans in the guide. I believe that envolve pupils in projects and share these projects with other schools can motivate the students to try to do their best and I can also be very useful because they will have the opporunity to see another project por point of view.

# data[].attributes.body
So many interesting ideas are shown in the video and in the guide. I want to borrow the idea of ecological song and surveys, doing practical tasks with parents and children. I see only two challenges: some of my colleges are not active, and integrating the Nature education more widely (in all subjects). And I see only one way out . It is motivation

# data[].attributes.body
There are great ideas in the material of this section. Some ideas that we can borrow are planting native flowers, trees shrubs, fruits and vegetables in school. Or serving healthy, organic, local, and minimally packaged foods in the school cafeteria. Engaging the families and other schools in the activities would be interesting as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The activities are very interesting. Our school even has a project in which we have a robot that takes care of the payments that the high school students planted.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this video very informed for my students  thanks

# data[].attributes.body
The video and the guide are both great material for improving teachers and students knowledge about sustainability and sustainable development.
However, students curriculum don't include this knowledge in every subject. I think climate change should be part of a transversal education more than an individual subject or something that is only taught in science subjects.
In the high school, one of the challenges that I foresee could be the lack of encouragement of teachers and students for being more involved in climate change actions. I would overcome this issue with awards for environmentally friendly students and internal training and programs for teachers.
If the high school is a reference for being socially and environmentally responsible, their teachers and students will be too for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas are great, They promote 21 st century competences as well as Global sustainable development. There are many things we can implement in our lessons to promote those goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Education for Sustainable Development can be achieved, by promoting quality in education and to develop in our students the 21st century competences.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideas and the steps proposed to initiate the process of Educations for Sustainable Development are interesting and feasible within a secondary school context. However, as with any new initiative in schools, I anticipate some difficulty in terms of organisation at first. Some teachers maybe reluctant to incorporate a new scheme or project into their already busy curriculums and schedules. Cross-curricular coordination may be an issue that could be resolved by creating a team with representative teachers from each department, overseen by a general coordinator.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately the Greek national curriculum does not promote the integration of nature education in the classroom. However, I believe that it is in school were students can raise their environmental education. Erasmus projects could be a very effective way to incorporate it since students tend to feel very enthusiastic about such projects. The video of young learners singing a song around the globe was so touching. I would really like to include it in me immediate lesson plans.

# data[].attributes.body
Very often environmental education can seem very distant and indeed overwhelming for the primary pupils as the threads of many of the related themes and discussions are often well of their experience and dare I say 'comfort zones'. So we must start small and try to integrate sustainability and Climate change in a cross-curricular way so as to normalise the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
The initiatives and the ideas presented in the video through the six steps are very useful and educative when teaching our students about the importance of protecting the environment. It presents may examples of what we can do in this case and how we can involve our students in order to help them develop their knowledge   about protecting the environment from all points of view and the purpose of this and to educate them for  Sustainable Development . First of all, this video makes students understand that we are all responsible for the climate crisis and for protecting nature and that each of us can do something to make the difference and a positive change. For example we can initiate different activities with our students, like planting trees and flowers and ecological  activities. We can also prepare a school garden where we can grow vegetables and fruits. Apart from this, I can involve my students in different projects on this topic. We have already took part in an eTwinning Project called ''We are Superheroes'' where students did a lot of activities connected to climate crisis and protecting nature. They also created different objects from recycled things and they presented them to the other partners. For all the activities students work in groups and I believe that this helps them a lot in Education for Sustainable Development in the classroom but also in everyday life. We can  organize meetings and activities  involving other teachers and the local authorities and even parents. This would be a good way to educate for Sustainable Development. In one way, this could be a challenge because some of them could see these activities as reluctant at first.But, with great determination, involvement, good communication and collaboration, we will manage to persuade and do wonderful things together.  As the guide says, it is also highly important to develop our students critical thinking and make them involve in serious problems, give them a voice and let them express their own opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
This video is a great guide to any teacher who wants to ensure Education for Sustainable Development  in her/his school and to promote quality of education. Taking small steps and not focusing on quantity is the best advice given. It is also important to be a school management vision on   a curriculum based on SD and the willing of teachers to work together for such an education. The voice of the students is very important and in our high school, The Council of Pupils is very active,  and envolved in the SD projects. The partnerships with differenet state or private institutions (ex. NGOs) are the best way to act for Education for Sustainable Development and ensure progress to the school.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas shown in the videos and school projects are very interesting to start with a sustainability school project. The most important thing for me is taking time to organise ideas, engage students and create a sustainable conscience to understand what can we do for the planet and how we are going to do it. At schools we have many activities to promote well practises for the planet.

# data[].attributes.body
In Cyprus there is time allocated in the school schedule for Education for the environment and sustainable development. Many ideas in the guide and video are put in practice. In every school there is a coordination team involving teachers, parents and students. It is responsible for the action plan, its implementation and the monitoring. There are of course many challenges as tackling with the reluctance of the teachers to diffuse enviromental education's issues in their subjects. Then there is difficulty in developing external relationships with no obvious benefit for the external stakeholders.

# data[].attributes.body
The six steps presented in the video are the phases that environmental education must have. We cannot start with big projects but with small things that the students will be capable of carrying out. It is essential that students feel part of that project. The most difficult phase could be to develop external relations with other schools because coordinating such a large project requires a larger infrastructure.

STEP 1: At each cooking lesson we check from which region our products for cooking come;
STEP 2: we create a list and try to change products who are from far away!
STEP 3: we discuss why Step 2  is important/necessary;
STEP 4: we present our list to the head of department of Food Technology and  discuss  and inform why to buy more local products
Its one way how we could create more sustainability at our school and foster critical thinking of our students;

I find really interesting the idea of creating a climate change team. I think it would help create strong bonds among the community both in our school and its social surrounding, especially taking into account that my school is located in a rural area. The only issue I see is that the team would not be that involved so instead of having a concrete action I would focus on creating conscience among the inhabitants of the area.
