TITLE<\/h6>\n

Join the great mission to love our home: the Earth!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SHORT DESCRIPTION<\/h6>\n

Our Project is based on some key factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Earth is our home and it needs our help<\/li>\n
  • Children (our young students) are the next generation<\/li>\n
  • Love is a powerful and positive emotion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Through this project we can help our children to love the Earth and to feel more connected with nature understanding and appreciating the world around us. We will introduce the topic with the help of a book \u201cDear Children of the Earth, A letter from Home\u201d<\/i> by <\/b>Schim Schimmel. <\/b>It\u2019s a powerful and dramatically illustrated letter from Mother Earth to her children reminding us the responsibility we all have to protect the world in which we live. we can involve our students in a\u00a0 wide range of activities designed to promote creativity, environmental awareness and critical thinking. A more sustainable world requires new ways of living and children are the future generation, but we believe that before “saving the planet” young children must know why it’s important and beautiful, to “love” it and then they can feel motivated to preserve and protect it.<\/p>\n

    Along with the project we will learn to identify and express our emotions, we will discover and learn more about the Earth with art, music and performance art as allies to inspire and support our students\u2019 wellbeing. Children will be challenged to observe and understand the connection between different elements, listening to experts advice, collaborating with other children from different countries with similar interests and motivations, growing their abilities to begin to solve problems creatively and feeling confident to contribute with ideas to their schools and communities. We will answer the question: \u201cwhat can we do to help save our home<\/b>?\u201d and we will become aware of respecting, protecting and loving the Earth involving different school areas, teamwork and exploring different ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to create, share ideas and collaborate. A formative evaluation will be present throughout the process and our project \u201cDear Earth\u201d is our answer to the letter and our small contribution to the great mission to create a better world.<\/p>\n
