Capturing sustainable lifestyle in short videos

"<< Background >>The partnership was formed for a long time before the application of the project, initially the KA210 SCH application was focused on media literacy, but during the re-application, the goals were extended and a sharper focus was placed on European priorities - Digitization and ecology.The main motivation (need) was international cooperation, which enabled students and teachers to travel and actively participate in the small partnership KA210 in the school sector, which managed to get involved at the basic level in the research and implementation of HR sea cleaning, the processing of rare TR herbs, and to expand their horizons in the field of sustainable construction and farming in the Slovak Republic. The development of digital and film making skills were the visions and needs of the cooperating schools in this post-covid period. The joint need of the partners to direct the pupils to a sustainable lifestyle and at the same time to develop their digital and filmmaking skills fulfilled the content of a very innovative school partnership.<< Objectives >>1. GOALThe main goal of the project was to teach students to live a fully sustainable lifestyle.In three international mobilities and during 21 months of cooperation, the partner schools tried to teach pupils the skills to protect themselvesenvironment. The goal was to lead students to environmental awareness in various areas... For example: how to save resources in schools, many things are often unsparingly thrown in the trash, with the students we solved strategies for using raw materials in a new way (ideas for recycling).2. GOALDuring the duration of the project, the students acquired all the necessary technical skills of using digital media and being responsibledealing with them. They also acquired the skills of working with data sources on the Internet - how to process information andwork safely on the Internet. Among these competences was to master the proactive formation of one's own skills, to design one's own digital creation, to know and apply the basic rights and obligations of the virtual space, etc.3. GOALTo create together meaningful, interesting activities for students during the main educational time, as well as outside of class, which is what we wanted to strengthen the learning motivation of pupils.<< Implementation >>All planned activities, online meetings took place as planned: (3 INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS). The adjustment against the plan was the implementation of the Film Festival and the evaluation of the student works competition during M3A in Croatia onsite (instead of one more online - originally planned as M5 ONLINE ACTIVITY - Film Festival), the reason was taking into account the younger age of the students of the partner school from TR.M0 - Opening online meeting of ZOOM meeting coordinatorsM1A - First mobility - Short educational meeting of pupils SLOVAKIA - workshops: media literacy, digital skills, ecological construction and farmingM1B - Implementation - tasks of partners, project work of pupils M2A - Short Pupil Exchange Event TURKEY - workshops: digital skills, film editing, ecological activities - boats made of plastic bottles, getting to know the unique medicinal herbs of the region and their processing.
