<< Objectives >>With the DEBATE we intend to involve those people defined as vulnerable by offering them activities that include not only socialization, but also the possibility of acquiring in a creative and original way knowledge and skills useful above all for a life of relationship. It is also considered appropriate to provide digital citizenship and skills in English to have the possibility of a peer debate even in a digital environment, thus fostering intercultural dialogue.<< Implementation >>Promotion of a teaching methodology, useful for acquiring transversal skills and encouraging peer learning. DEBATE lends itself well to be included in non-formal adult education because it stimulates creativity, research skills and critical thinking. In a transnational context, courses on the use of digital platforms and the study of the English language will be supported. At the end, a visit to the European institutions in Brussels will be made.<< Results >>The results of the project and its good practices are able to constitute a new resource to promote and support non-formal education understood as semi-structured learning as it is intentional from the user's point of view: adults ask and are willing to learn what they need to know and know how to do to adequately cope with their real life situations. DEBATE membership is expected from educational institutions to promote tournaments.

<< Background >>Environment and fight against climate change was chosen as the main priority in the project. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world. The world is warming day by day. It is impossible for natural life and humans to adapt to this rapid change. According to data from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a temperature rise of 1.5°C could lead to the extinction of 20-30% of species. If the temperature rise exceeds 2°C, many ecosystems may come to an end. (www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/)The European Green Deal seeks to involve people, communities and organizations in tackling the climate crisis and creating a green order. Although its sphere of influence is limited to Europe, the efforts of Europe to become carbon-neutral by 2050 will affect the whole world. The presence of 12 legal regulations in the articles of the agreement and the existence of sanctions for the countries that have commercial relations with Europe will take the fight against climate change forward. In this direction, it is aimed to reduce the carbon emissions of the European continent by 55% until 2030. (ec.europa.eu/clima/eu-action/european-green-deal_en)Therefore, the main purpose of the project is to raise awareness among the guidance teachers and guide the our students, who are the adults of the future, and to involve them in the fight against the climate crisis. Supporting the green transformation of educational content, learning about the investment and career opportunities created by the European Green Deal's Just Transition Mechanism principle will expand the field of action of teachers and strengthen them. In addition, the big green changes that the European Green Deal targets will create in the sectors show that job descriptions, career goals and entrepreneurship understanding will also change. It will be an important step for counselors to adopt climate goals, add environmental equipment to their profession, and guide students towards green career goals. Through this Project students will have an opportunity from young their age to be equipped with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to address green deal transformation and prepare themselves for the green jobs of the future. Even today, young people and children appear as important figures in the fight against the climate crisis and can mobilize global organizations. Finally, Poland, which produces more than 70% of its energy production with fossil fuels, is the European country that needs this change the most. Therefore, it will be a real hope for the future for teachers and students to adapt to change before it is too late.<< Objectives >>School teachers are the key to reaching European Green Deal aims. They play central role in engaging students for behavioral changes However, teachers need to upgrade their knowledge and skills, and enhance their teaching methodologies to quide students on the green deal transformation process. In line with this information, the target groups of the project are guidance teachers, other trainers and students as final beneficiaries. Because teachers are the ones who can create change, raise awareness, put ideas into practice and influence students in the short term. In the long term, it is students who will shape the entire future. Within this context, the overall objective of our project is to build a capacity in secondary education on the European Green Deal and prepare students for their future “green” careers. Specific objectives are -To enhance guidance teachers’ capacity on environment and climate change and green skills so that they can support and guide students on European green deal transformation. -To create leaders among the target groups who will defend the green future-To promote an environmentally friendly mindset among school students -To raise the awareness of the teachers, students and families within the scope of the European Green Deal.<< Implementation >>The activities of the project are prepared in order to achieve the objectives and results of the project and to achieve the expected effects. Project activities will be discussed under five headings. These activities are the production of project results, Transnational Meetings, Multiplier Events and dissemination, Eco Career Days and Green Ideas Exhibition.Within the scope of the project, three project results will be produced. The first project result will be the Green Career Guide. The guide will include guidance teachers and students. In this way, the two most important elements in school education will meet with ecological goals. Teachers who use the Green Career Guide and participate in other project activities will find that they can add new dimensions to their profession. They will step out of their professional habits and take part in a movement initiated for the fight against climate change and the future of the world. This will increase their leadership skills and enable them to become stronger as equipment. In this way, they will be able to guide students towards European Green Deal goals and grounded career plans. Students using the green career guide will gain important awareness about the climate crisis. They will learn the necessary ecological information to save the world they live in and they will turn into eco individuals. In addition to correcting their own habits, they will harmonize their career plans with the sector thanks to the guide. They will be able to build their future realistically by learning concepts such as green career, eco-entrepreneurship and green collar. In short, target groups will become eco-individuals by increasing their ecological literacy. Finally, the guide will present roadmaps for a school to become carbon-neutral.The Green Age Platform will be the driving force for users to switch to an ecological life and learn about their carbon footprints. It will enable students to participate in more job opportunities, international events and climate activities. Because announcements will be posted on the platform frequently. Access to developments and news about climate change will be easier. The level of digital literacy will increase. Scientific aspects of the climate crisis will be learned. In this way, information pollution and myths will be prevented. Thanks to the platform, users will be able to overcome geographical and economic barriers that they can meet. With magazine, the last of the project results, awareness of paper waste will be increased. This will indirectly be a good step against problems such as environmental pollution, energy consumption and deforestation. People will find that other recycled materials besides paper can also be used for print.Transnational Meetings will increase the quality of the production of project results, monitoring and evaluation activities, budget and time management, communication and coordination processes. Multiplier Events and dissemination efforts will increase the impact of the project to much higher levels than anticipated. In this way, the project will reach the goals of the European Green Deal and affect many people ecologically.Eco Career Days and Green Ideas Exhibition will enable many students to be reached concretely. All of the project objectives will become concrete in these activities to be held under physical conditions. During career days, students will be directed to green jobs and meet face-to-face with representatives of green collar and eco-entrepreneurship. In this way, they will understand the seriousness of the changes in the sector and make future plans. The Green Ideas Exhibition will not compete with children but will value all ideas. In this way, students' self-confidence, motivation, participation, soft skills and active citizenship will develop. Students will learn to step into things without fear.<< Results >>The project is about the climate crisis, which concerns the whole world and has a global public opinion, and reducing carbon emissions to zero. Especially European countries have started to work in every field to reduce carbon emissions to zero. Therefore, the project will produce various outputs and activities to contribute to the European Green Deal goals (especially in the field of school education). These outputs and activities will produce tangible results. During and after the project, it is expected that other results such as awareness of climate change, organization to fight climate crisis, development of soft skills will occur.Expected results:- Career guides in line with the European Green Deal targets will be produced for school counselors and students.- The career guide will contain important information on sectors that are undergoing great change. This information will be information such as at what points the change is and what the innovations are. In this way, students will be able to shape their future according to the green order.- Counselors will be able to add concepts such as eco-entrepreneurship, green collar, green industry, clean transportation, renewable energy to their profession thanks to the career guide. In this way, they will be able to make their profession interesting and gain new equipment and qualifications.- A digital platform (Green Age Platform) will be created where information on environmental pollution and climate change is included, and news of the European Green Deal and other environmentalist movements are shared. This platform will include business opportunities for green careers and academic texts that will eliminate information pollution. Users (especially the target groups of the project) will be able to add content, comment and create events.- The Green Age Platform will provide students with a space to act on the digital platform. For counselors, it will be a new channel through which they can reach students.- As the users of the Green Age Platform increase, students from different cultures, languages, geography and economic levels will come together for the same purpose. Counselors will also meet their colleagues and increase their level of relationship and communication.- During and after the project, Eco Career Days will be held with the participation of sector representatives, managers of private and public institutions. During the career days, people from the sector will directly tell the students about the sectors, green business and career fields, eco-entrepreneurship, and the new order that started to take place with the European Green Deal. In this way, the information to be conveyed by the guidance teachers will become concrete.- All of the partner institutions will ask their students for ecological business ideas and project drafts on the work to be done for the transition to the green order. These ideas will be displayed at the Green Ideas Exhibition after the project. In this way, students' soft skills and active citizenship will develop and their self-confidence will increase.- Positive contributions will be made to digital literacy level and foreign language proficiency.- During and after the project, a magazine will be produced covering the topics of the European Green Deal, reducing the carbon footprint to zero, combating the climate crisis, and an ecological life guide. This magazine will be prepared with recycled materials and in a virtual environment. The use of recycled materials will create effective awareness. Magazine will be published every three months and its sustainability will be ensured. In particular, interviews and studies of sector representatives and eco-entrepreneurs who have started the green change will be included.- Partner institutions will learn the practices in other countries in the field of school education and combating climate change. In this way, they will be able to work for the areas where they are insufficient.

<< Background >>It has been over 13 years since more than half of the European Union’s population has stated that the EU conjures up a positive image in their minds.The feelings of Euroscepticism among individuals and on country level have grown significantly over time, with some going as far as decided to leave the EU. When consulting the appropriate, official info channels of the EU we can see that there are certain issues which seem to be driving Euroscepticism and driving the people towards having a more negative image of the EU. However, it is vital to take into account that misinformation has been on a rise in the past decade, with politicians and individuals spreading false information for personal gain. Taking into consideration, that not many people have been educated in what exactly the EU stands for and what it does, what being a EU citizen means, what are your rights and responsibilities, people have a tendency to automatically believe the majority of the information they are given, without questioning it or doing their own research to confirm whether what they have been told is true or not.<< Objectives >>The Europe Diverse and United Project - EDU - was developed to tackle these issues by reaching out to the most important group, the future generation. By educating young children aged between 10 and 14 about all the points mentioned above, EDU project will inspire a need for knowledge as well as fact-checking. The children will be made aware from an early age of what their rights a citizen of the EU are and how much power their voice can hold. They will be inspired to keep up to date with the developments of the EU and take a more active role in their civic participation.<< Implementation >>The project materials will be both educative and interactive and will cover two of the EU’s most important pillars: its culture and its history, as well as they will provide a wealth of additional general knowledge about the current EU. The developed materials will teach the children about the cultural diversity that can be found in Europe, acceptance and understanding of other cultures, as well as Europe’s history. They will cover the creation of the European Union, the drivers behind it, the changes it underwent in the past decades and the changes it made in the lives of its citizens.The games that will accompany each module will be useful for the children to practice what they have learned in an engaging and entertaining manner. The 'European Integration Resource Tool' will serve as a perfect source for all information about the EU and Europe so that the children do not have to go through numerous websites to find the information they need, instead, they will be able to easily access the EDU project website and they will find information of the European Union itself as well as all Member States. This resource tool will be truly innovative as it will be designed with children in mind and it will be user friendly and visually attractive. Additionally, it should be acknowledged that there is an existing EUROPA portal which is a very good point of information about the EU - however, it does not meet the needs of this project target group as it is not developed with children users in mind.<< Results >>The Europe Diverse and United Project aims to educate the children from and early age about the country they live in and what that means as part of the European Union. The produced project materials will inform them about their rights and responsibilities so that they will be able to understand what it truly means to be an EU citizen. The aim of the project is to highlight the importance of Europe's diversity and all the different cultures it contains whilst at the same time also appreciating how all the different people come together under the European Union umbrella and make decisions together which benefit the whole community. By achieving a better understanding of the different facets of Europe and how the European Union functions and the roles that citizens play in the decision-making process, the Europe Diverse and United projects aim to encourage the target group to become more active citizens in their civic duties by keeping up to date with the news, events, and changes and coming to action when the need calls during voting periods and other events in which EU citizens are called to participate in. The project will help the younger generations understand their rights, duties and responsibilities as EU citizens and also the power they hold to make a change by being a more active civic participants.
