Education Campaign

[vc_row][/vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Environmental  education  is  a  fundamental  axis  of  any  comprehensive intervention on environmental issues, as the public awareness can ensure the  implementation  of  the  respective  policies.  For  this  purpose,  in  the context  of  the  LIFE  DEBAG  Project,  an  environmental  education  program has been designed/ implemented, which:

DSC_0137

Is  based  on  the  holistic  (multidisciplinary  and  interdisciplinary)  approach  of  the environmental problem which the Project deals with.

Enables  a  customized  implementation  at  a  local  level  (Syros  and  other  Cycladic Islands), with the potentiality, however, of exploitation in other parts of the country also.

Consists  of  different  educational  tools  aimed  at  both  students  and  teachers  of  all education levels and offer a combination of actions, inside and outside of the school. The basic tools which form the backbone of the training activities of the LIFE DEBAG Project are:

 

Educational Package
The  main  body  of  the  Educational  Package  consists  of  the  Worksheets  and  the Factsheets,  through  which  the  students  approach,  in  a  holistic  manner,  the  issues relating to the pollution of the coastal and marine environment by plastic bags. The package  is  structured  in  such  a  way  that  the  students  will  understand  the  basic concepts  (plastic  packaging,  plastic  bag,  marine  litter),  will  be  informed  about  the impacts  of  plastic  bags  and  will learn  simple  options for reducing  the  use  of  plastic bags and ultimately eliminate the problem.

The design of the Educational Package enables its use and exploitation by teachers of all levels and specialties, regardless of pre-existing knowledge and training. It can also be used as a whole or partly, depending on the information the teacher wants to highlight, when planning/implementing his own program or when trying to stimulate particular interests of the students.

Educational Presentations
Specialized  Project  partners  will  implement  free  informative  presentations  in  Syros, and other Cycladic islands. The presentations will be adjusted depending on the age of  the  students  and  will  be  implemented  with  the  use  of  modern  media,  in consultation  with  the  school  Manager.  These  will  be  also accompanied  by  creative discussion  with  the  students  to  exchange  views  and  concerns  on  the  particular environmental issue. Through discussion, students will be invited to seek prolific and suitable  solutions  mainly  focusing  on  the  actions  they  themselves  can  perform  to improve the quality of their environment.

Upcycling Toolbox
The  “Upcycling  Toolbox”  includes  materials  which  will  help the  students  to  express themselves  creatively  and  imaginatively  on  the  issue  of  plastic  bags.  The  students’ works will be exhibited as part of the second information-awareness raising “Plastic bag free week”, which will take place in Syros Island in 2017.

Teacher’s Guide
The  Guide  aims  to  assist  the  teachers  in  exploiting  the  LIFE  DEBAG  Project educational materials (Educational Package and Upcycling Toolbox). It includes basic information  on  Environmental  Education  (definition,  objectives, illustrative  methods, etc.), websites from which the teachers can draw additional educational materials or good   examples,   explanations   and   ideas   for   the   optimal   implementation   of environmental educational programs on the specific themes.

Interactive Road Game
The  value  and  effectiveness  of  the  game  in  Education  has been  proven  through numerous  scientific  studies.  The  Interactive  Road  Game  combines  entertainment with  information  and  raises  awareness  about  the  multifaceted  negative  impacts  on the coastal and marine environment from the use of plastic bags.

Experiential Teacher Seminar
During the “Plastic bag free week 2016”, an experiential seminar for the training of the  Syros  Island  teachers  will  be  implemented,  which  will  be  based  on  the educational  material  of  the  LIFE  DEBAG  Project.  The  seminar  will  aim  on  the  one hand at informing the teachers on the issue of plastic bags and on the other hand at familiarizing  them  with  the  educational  methods  and  techniques  that  have  been found effective in implementing environmental educational programs.
