Description
CASE stands for Consumption Awareness for Students in Europe: the project aimed at creating further awareness among students, educators and other stakeholders for rational and educated consumption. During the project development, the partnership worked both on delivering proper knowledge on the topics addressed by the project – sustainability, as a word which ties together individual choices and global effects; healthy lifestyles, with regards to an ecosystemic perspective; awareness of the impact of consumption behaviours on the vast economic system of relationships – and questioning attitudes and beliefs regarding consumption and lifestyles, fostering visible learning through the promotion of a favorable attitude towards changing. From an individual point of view, the project architecture led progressively to the next steps, creating awareness at the local, societal, national, and global levels. The path was meant to provide our students with knowledge and skills to become rational consumers, informed service users, informed consumers of energy, water, and other natural resources.Student exchanges and other activities in the project also contributed to enhancing an understanding of diverse perspectives on European citizenship and helped our students to develop an appreciation of the European cultural diversity and an empathy for different cultures. 6 institutions from 5 Program Countries (4 from member states, 1 from candidate countries) have come together to form the project CASE. Approximately more than 200 mobilities (mainly student mobility) have been planned for 2 years. The activities have been divided in 3 main stages; CASE 1 studies aimed to raise awareness of consumption on the individual level: the main output for this stage has been the survey data analysis, on which all the further actions were set up; CASE 2 studies will be developing common social attitudes toward consumption: the main output has been an advertising campaign, built by the students, promoting awareness on a social level by using proper media tools; in the end, CASE 3 studies promoted a global outlook to world's limited and diminishing resources. The last project step was closed by delivering a curriculum, containing all the inputs and suggestion gathered through the 2-years project cycle in order to suggest activities, initiative and researches to any school willing to draw a similar experience for its students everywhere in EU and in the world. The methodologies employed in carrying out this project have been inspired by constructivism, cooperative learning methods, problem based learning and teaching, and multi-disciplinary approaches, promoting a positive attitude towards a lifelong learning perspective.
