Disseminating SDG's in our community

A few weeks ago, a group of students from IES Clara Campoamor campaigned to promote the activities of the "Agenda 2030". These guys distributed posters of certain points to deal with the Agenda 2030, posing a question about this, and later giving the answer. We believe that this action will be able to make people aware of what is happening, and help improve the situation. With help, it is possible to achieve our goal.

Workshops and conferences about SDG's

The 22th of December was our last workday before the End of the Year. This day was an special date to work on actions related with the Goals of the Agenda 2030.
The students of Commerce prepared a solidary market with the support of the Town Council of Alaquàs and the money raised was donated to The Red Cross.
In addition, we collaborate with the association "Karamaa" in the collection of non perisable food for the refugees camps in Greece. We accompanied this action by an exposition and redactions of our students about the refugees.
Athletes of the paralympic association "Tetrasport" came to our school to talk about their preparation. We had also talks where the associations "Médecins sans Frontières" and Red Cross explained us their work.

Wonderful Christmas for everyone on earth!!!

The year 2017 offered us the 17 Goals of Agenda 2030...

Now, the Greek team send you 2018 wishes for the New Year to offer health, happiness and success in every “goal” of your life and bring us together in close!

Wonderful Christmas for everyone on earth!!!

"The Water Company in Ziros Lake" for Erasmus+ students

The best way to meet goals 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, 15: Life on Land and 17: Partnerships for the Goals of Agenda 2030 was to visit the wetland of rare beauty and great ecological interest in Lake Ziros.
Thus, on 19th December, the Erasmus students of our school attended the training program "The Water Company in Ziros Lake" of The Environmental Center of Filippiada, where they got to know the ecosystem of Ziros lake, the physical and chemical properties of water, its biological role and the problems that arise from its inappropriate use and mismanagement. The program combined all the elements concerning the study of water through an experiential approach, as there was direct access to the lake and the lakeside ecosystem, as well as observation, research and activity that were carried out. Specifically, physicochemical parameters of lake water, such as pH, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, temperature and dissolved oxygen, were measured by the students themselves with the guidance of the responsible staff.
The educational visit resulted in the building of knowledge, the development of
skills, as well as the formation of students' values ​​and attitudes towards the
environment.

"Christmas in Nature" for Erasmus+ students

The Erasmus+ students of our school attended the informative and creative workshop organized by the National Parks of Vikos-Aoos and Pindos, Lake Pamvotis and the National Park of Tzoumerka, on Saturday December 16th , at the "Silver Christmas" in Paralimnio Recreational Park.
The program included a trip to the traditional local customs of Christmas, a guided tour to the lake's biodiversity exhibition and the photo exhibition with landscapes of the protected areas, as well as handicrafts of natural materials such as twigs, pine nuts, reeds and others.
The purpose of this workshop for students was to get to know the biodiversity of our area, to realize its value for our traditional culture and to express themselves artificially on the occasion of the approaching Christmas. Their experiential participation has proved to be both enjoyable and beneficial, and is part of the implementation of Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals of Agenda 2030.

Greek team taking action against poverty

We take action against poverty

In the spirit of Christmas and due to our co-operation with Mr. Tzimopoulos, a
football player of PAS Giannina and international player with the New Zealand team, who is fighting to eradicate poverty, the students and teachers of our school prepared an Action of Voluntary Offer to the financially vulnerable groups of our city, with the collection of long-lasting food, stationery and toys, through the Social Market of the Municipality of Ioannina. Knowing that many families suffer from poverty, we managed to gather many products and, thus, implemented Goal 1: Zero Poverty, Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals".
This educational act gave us the satisfaction of offering to society through our school initiative.

Dissemination of the 17 goals

Our school was decorated in a Christmas mood on December 13th, in order to welcome the public and the participants of the event to disseminate the goals of the Erasmus+ Program entitled "Agenda 2030: That's Our Challenge!".
The successful and original event included the presentation of the 17 Goals by students participating in the program, the lecture of Mr. Fatouros, Communication Officer for Greece & Cyprus UNRIC, as well as the partnership of Mr. Tzimopoulos, a football player of PAS Giannina and international player with the New Zealand team, who is fighting to eradicate poverty, while the debate was co-ordinated by Mr. Karamitsos, a journalist of the local TV channels.
The students' initiative to ask questions to the speakers was worthwhile, as well as their participation, for the first time in Greece, in the experiential game "We Have Goals".
Thus, the event itself was a dissemination of Agenda 2030 and, at the same time, the implementation of Goal 1: Zero Poverty, Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Goal 14 "Life below water"

Our physics and chemistry teacher gave us the idea of making a very large poster in which the students of the center will be asked: "How many years do you think it would take for these objects to degrade in the oceans?"

Besides of that large poster that the teacher told us, we put some small cards with the name of the objects and the real object so students could see them.
After three weeks of work we lowered it to the entrance of the institute and we let them put their opinions of how much they believed that they would take time to degrade.

After a week we saw that many people had already answered and we decided to put the right answers and that is how we finished our project.

Our wordcloud inspired by the Greek Team!!

Inspired by the Greek Team we have done a wordcloud with Goals 3 and 14. We encouraged you to do the same with your goals!

My Right to Health / Mon Droit à la Santé

This year the UN slogan to fight against AIDS is "My Right to Health". We have made an exhibition focused on the use of condoms in sexual relations. In addition, the class-change ringer has reproduced information about this big problem.

According to the health authorities, 10 people are infected with the virus every day; so we need to know that and to protect us.

1 décembre 2017: Journée Mondiale contre le SIDA

Cette année le slogan des Nations Unies pour la lutte contre le SIDA est "Mon Droit à la Santé". Nous avons fait une exposition sûr l'utilisation des préservativs dans les relations sexuelles. Également la cloche de changement de classe est reproduit information sûr ce grave problème.

Selon les autorités sanitaires, 10 personnes sont infectées chaque jour avec le virus; alors, nous avons besoin de le savoir et de nous protéger.

"Te doy mis ojos" (Take My Eyes)

In addition of all the activities organized to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in our school, the students of 4th C have watched the spanish movie "Te doy mis ojos" (Take My Eyes) directed by Icíar Bollaín, one of the most interesting spanish film directors; a hard film about gender-based violence. We have finished with a forum over the issue.

“A healthy mind in a healthy body”

“A healthy mind in a healthy body”…
… the Ancient Greeks used to say. So, we planned for our students the opportunity to participate in organized sports activities outside school unit. Our aim was to mobilize teenagers to become physically active in order to maintain exercise as a habitus in their everyday lives as adults. Our motto is: Health with lifelong exercise!
We think that Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being is very important, especially because we live in a sub-mobile society with overweight children. And we have started to apply it in teenage school life. It is worth the effort.
Follow our example: Keep Calm and Exercise!!!...

Informative meeting with the Management Body of Pamvotis Lake

The Management Body of Pamvotis Lake visits our school
In the context of the implementation of the Erasmus+ program "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!" and, particularly of objectives 6 "Clean water" and 4 "Quality education", an informative meeting of the Management Body of Pamvotis Lake took place, with our students who take part in the program. Staff members informed students about the functioning of our city lake ecosystem, as well as of the anthropogenic activities - interventions and the environmental issues that are being caused and ended up playing an interactive educational game with them.
Our aim was for the students firstly to become aware of and get engaged in experiential learning in order to integrate their knowledge into relevant school lessons, projects or environmental programs and, secondly, to mobilize the school community on the thematic and related actions of the multifaceted program they are developing.

Elimination of Violence Against Women

Our action on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women has been very successful today. The Erasmus students were at 11.30 at the central sidewalk, in order to inform our fellow citizens about this crucial issue. Under the guitar sounds of two of our classmates, we distributed leaflets with our slogans inspired by the thematic of this special day, expressed our views to the interested passers-by and stated our presence in the TV channel camera. The response of the public has been great and we have received many congratulations on our initiative.

ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Wordcloud about Agenda 2030

The first stage of our students’ familiarization with the Erasmus+ program and the Agenda 2030 was successfully accomplished by filling in the worksheets with the questionnaires and the brainstorming process.
As a follow-up to this, the students gathered key-words about the program and processed them by applying a “wordcloud” in the symbol of Earth. Thus, the use of ICT is embedded in our learning practice in an interesting and joyful way (Goal 4: Quality Education).
Would you like to do something similar?

Goal 5 "Gender Equality"

Preparing for our action on the Ιnternational day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25th
The Erasmus students of our school never stop... Every day we coordinate the preparation for the action we have planned in order to honour the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25th. In particular, we meet at school, exchange views on the crucial issue of gendered violence, prepare the slogan brochures with the symbolic orange ribbon and inform public about our action (the rest of the school community, our partners in the program, local media). And we go on…

Goal 5 "Gender Equality"

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

25 November

Leave No One Behind - End Violence against Women and Girls 

Breaking the silence is the first step to transforming the culture of gender-based violence

“First things first”

“First things first”
Our program starts! But what is actually a European Erasmus + program? Our students initially seek information on the internet with the guidance of their teachers and note what they consider important. Then, they focus on Agenda 2030 and its 17 goals, get inspired by the logos and, through the brainstorming process, they write down their first idea of the program content and purpose, as well as the expectations of their participation in it. They work methodically with the team-collaborative method, collect and evaluate their answers. Their enthusiastic experiential practice is the best guarantee for the successful continuity both for Goal 4 "Quality Education" as well as for the other goals of the program in general.

Today is a good day to celebrate SDG's!!!

In our school we have done a special action to give to know the Global Goals. This action has consisted in doing photos with posters with the Goals.
We encourage to all the schools of the project to do similar actions and upload the photos to the twinspace. In case that you use instagram, please upload photos there with the hashtag of our Instagram: #eramus_plus_agenda2030. There you can see more photos.
We look forward your photos!

Erasmus+ Teachers Meeting Valencia

Until 2020 the European Union provides 15 million euros to support intercultural exchange programs within the EU. We as language teachers are convinced that diving into another culture strengthens the cultural and social skills of our students since it is not only beneficial for their CV but all the more to gain new experiences and to broaden their horizon. Therefore, the Carlo Schmid High School is proud to announce that we are one of the lucky applicants who got an EU funding for their intercultural exchange program. For our two-year-program with partner schools in Ioannina (Greece), Enna (Italy) and Valencia (Spain) we will receive several thousand euros to work on the topic “Sustainable Development“ and the „UN Agenda 2030

To get to know the colleagues and in order to plan the exchange programs, two of our teachers went to the Erasmus+ teachers meeting from the 09th to 12th October. Which city could be more suitable than Valencia at the Mediterranean Sea? Our hosts organized everything wonderfully. After the „getting-to-know dinner“ on Monday evening, two intensive planning days followed. To round off the get-together, the teacher group enjoyed a typical Paella at the promenade.

Since the thematic focus, next to the intercultural exchange, is in the foreground of this program, the German teachers decided that each travel phase should be accompanied by one Foreign Language teacher and one Science teacher. Moreover, the other schools took interest in our student companies “Schmids Printing Studio“ and “Carlos Green Paper Shop“ which are focused on sustainable consumption and production.

In February the first student group is already taking part in the first traveling phase. Together with pupils from Spain and Italy, they are going to visit our partner school in Greece. Followed by a trip to Sicily where the students will work on the topics named above. At the beginning of the next school year, more precisely in October, we will receive our guests in Berlin. For the crowning closure of the Erasmus+ project, we will meet back in Valencia in March 2019.

Here you can see the exact traveling dates:
Greece: 25.02-03.03.2018
Italy: 06.05-12.05.2018
Germnay: 14.10 - 20.10. 2018
Spain: 03.03. - 09.03.2019

Erasmus+ Vorbereitungstreffen der Lehrkräfte in Valencia

Die Europäische Union stellt bis 2020 beinahe 15 Milliarden Euro zu Verfügung, um den interkulturellen Austausch junger Menschen zu fördern. Wir sind der festen Überzeugung, dass ein Auslandsaufenthalt während der Schule ideal ist, um Erfahrungen in einer anderen Kultur zu machen und darüber hinaus auch im Lebenslauf gut aussieht. Daher hat der Spanischfachbereich der CSO unter der Federführung von Frau V. Pobloth sich darangemacht, einen Austausch im Rahmen des „Erasmus+“-Programms zu organisieren – mit Erfolg!

Und so stehen der Schule bis 2019 mehrere Tausend Euro zur Verfügung, um mit Partnerschulen aus Ioannina (Griechenland), Enna (Italien) und Valencia (Spanien) an Projekten zum Thema „Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ zu arbeiten.

Ziele der Agenda 2030

Um die beteiligten Kollegen kennenzulernen und die Austauschfahrten zu planen, sind zwei Kollegen vom 09.10. – 12.10.2017 zum Vorbereitungstreffen der Lehrkräfte geflogen. Welche Stadt hätte sich dafür besser geeignet, als die herrliche Stadt Valencia am Mittelmeer? Die gastgebenden Lehrkräfte von dort hatten alles hervorragend organisiert. Auf ein Kennenlerndinner am Montagabend folgten zwei Tage intensiver Planung und Vorbereitung, die dann allerdings landestypisch bei einer riesigen Paella an der Strandpromenade ausklingen durften.

Da die Arbeit an den Projekten neben dem interkulturellen Austausch im Vordergrund des Programms steht, wurde auf Seiten der CSO beschlossen, immer je eine Lehrkraft aus dem Fremdsprachen- und aus dem naturwissenschaftlichen Bereich mit der Begleitung der Fahrten zu beauftragen. Insbesondere die Schülerfirmen (Schmids Druckstudio und Carlos Green Papershop) haben bei den anderen Schulen wegen ihrer Ausrichtung auf nachhaltigen Konsum und umweltfreundliche Produktion großes Interesse geweckt.

Schon im Februar macht sich die erste Gruppe aus Spandau mit SchülerInnen aus Spanien und Italien auf den Weg nach Griechenland. Es folgt im Mai die Fahrt nach Italien auf die Insel Sizilien, wo wiederum alle beteiligten Schulen miteinander an den oben erwähnten Zielen arbeiten wollen. Zu Beginn des nächsten Schuljahres, genauer gesagt im Oktober, dürfen wir dann unsere Partnerschulen begrüßen bevor im März 2019 die Fahrt nach Valencia den krönenden Abschluss des Projekts „Erasmus+“ darstellt.

Hier die genauen Reisezeiträume im Überblick:

Griechenland: 25.02-03.03.2018
Italien: 06.05-12.05.2018
Deutschland: 14.10 - 20.10. 2018
Spanien: 03.03. - 09.03.2019

Bei Interesse können sich alle SchülerInnen der Carlo- Schmid- Oberschule bei Frau Neek oder Frau V. Pobloth melden.

Goal 12 "Responsible Consumption and Production"

“We give our plastic trash a second chance”

According to Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, students should try to apply ecological methods in their everyday life as consumers. So, while our school is in session, our environmental concern gave us the idea to start a school plastic-recycling program, which seems to be a terrific extra-curricular, educational activity about the environmental impact of trash recycling.

We decided to gather plastic water bottles and lids, involving our colleagues and teachers in reusing activities that can be a lot of fun, as well as useful. In this way, we will prove not only how environmentally responsible we can be when we consume a product, but also when we recycle its packaging.

Goal 4 "Quality education"

Les étudiants de 4ème ESO C, pendant leur temps de tutorat, regardent le film français "Les héritiers".
Synopsis: Anne Gueguen est une enseignante d'histoire au lycée qui se préoccupe également des problèmes de ses élèves. Cette année, comme toujours, Anne a un groupe difficile. Frustrée par son matérialisme et son manque d'ambition, Anne invite ses élèves à participer à un concours national sur ce que signifie être adolescent dans un camp de concentration nazi. Anne utilise toute son énergie et sa créativité pour capter l'attention de ses élèves et les motiver. À l'approche du terme, les jeunes commencent à s'ouvrir aux autres et à croire en eux-mêmes. Un projet qui va changer leur vie(FILMAFFINITY)

Le groupe est composé d'élèves ayant de graves problèmes de comportement, de mauvaises performances, de diversité culturelle et religieuse. L'engagement de l'enseignante leur fera prendre conscience de leurs capacités, tout en découvrant des faits historiques d'une grande importance.

Ce travail se concentre sur l'objectif 4 de l'Agenda 2030 des Nations Unies: une éducation de qualité, dans le cadre de notre projet Erasmus +, ainsi que dans la connaissance du multiculturalisme de notre société.

-----------------------

The students of 4th ESO C, during their tutorial time, are watching the French film "Les héritiers" (The history teacher).

Synopsis: Anne Gueguen is a high school history teacher who also cares about the problems of her students. This year, as always, Anne has a difficult group. Frustrated by her materialism and lack of ambition, Anne challenges her students to participate in a national contest about what it means to be a teenager in a Nazi concentration camp. Anne uses all her energy and creativity to capture the attention of her students and motivate them. As the term approaches, young people begin to open up to others and to believe in themselves. A project that will change their lives. (FILMAFFINITY)

The group consists of students with serious behavior problems, poor performance, cultural and religious diversity. The commitment of the teacher will make them aware of their abilities, while discovering historical facts of great importance.

This work focuses on Goal 4 of the UN 2030 Agenda: Quality education, within our Erasmus + project, as well as knowledge of the multiculturalism of our society.

------------------------

El alumnado de 4º de ESO C, durante su hora de tutoría, está visionando la película francesa "Les héritiers" (La profesora de historia).

Sinopsis: Anne Gueguen es una profesora de Historia de instituto que además se preocupa por los problemas de sus alumnos. Este año, como siempre, Anne tiene un grupo difícil. Frustrada por su materialismo y falta de ambición, Anne desafía a sus alumnos a participar en un concurso nacional sobre lo que significa ser adolescente en un campo de concentración nazi. Anne usa toda su energía y creatividad para captar la atención de sus alumnos y motivarlos. A medida que el plazo se acerca, los jóvenes comienzan a abrirse a los demás y a creer en sí mismos. Un proyecto que cambiará sus vidas. (FILMAFFINITY)

El grupo está formado por alumnado con graves problemas de conducta, bajo rendimiento, diversidad cultural y religiosa. El empeño de la profesora les hará tomar conciencia de sus capacidades, al tiempo que descubren hechos históricos de gran importancia.
Con este trabajo se incide en el Objetivo 4 de la Agenda 2030 de la ONU: Educación de calidad, dentro de nuestro proyecto Erasmus+, así como en el conocimiento de la multiculturalidad de nuestra sociedad.

With this project we participate in Erasmus + Project of our Center.

Global Goals in our school

We want to raise awareness about of the Global Goals in our school. To do that we have prepared different questions to think about the Global Goals. After a week we will give the answers.
We have done a poster with them and we have also distributed the questions in the classes.

Goal 16 “Peace, Justice and strong institution”

Goal 16 “Peace, Justice and strong institution” includes the resolution of conflicts without using violence. In the IES Clara Campoamor we have a group of mediation to avoid problems with others by helping each other.
The objectives are to avoid conflicts, listen to the problems of others, to talk to each other. The mediator proposes solutions so that it does not happen again.
Who can be a mediator?
All the students can be a mediators, but it is necessary go to do formation. We are formed about bullying, of gender violence, how to solve problems for students… etc.
In addition, we are going to start a mentor program to be more supportive with others, to help other people with their problems in class, in different subjects.
Being a tutor isn`t only about helping others, it definitely helps us too, like a chain of favors.
The people that participates in this program has been taught to empathize with other students and have done activities, like writing sentences to motivate others, like “ go on , you are strong” and to recognize also sentences that can demotivate like “you are a waste of time”.

Working on Goal 14 "Life below water"

In the secondary school IES Clara Campoamor we have already started to prepare our Erasmus about the objectives of 2030 diary. We have raised three questions.
1.What do we think that the project will bring us?
2.What do the project contribute to our environment?
3.What we have done until now?

1. The project will give us consciousness about the actuals problems like the climate change or the deforestation.

2. We think that the project will bring us a clean environment where we can live better than now. We are going to work on goal 14.

3. First we have analyzed the problems that there are in the ocean, then we exposed the solutions that we can do for ourselves,finally we we did a timeline for organize our actions. We want that all the people know us in social networks, we want make a career as a way of protest, we want to go to the television and radio,we want make manifestations and we want make expositions and conferences.

Hicking trought the "Barranc de l'Horteta"

The students of 4º of Secondary from the IES Clara Campoamor of Alaquàs have made hicking trought the "Barranc de l'Horteta" as an activity of the Erasmus +: Agenda 2030, That's our Challenge (goal 3). Besides enjoying the walk, landscape and archaeological remains related to the use of water, they have cleaned the area, a modest contribution to care of the environment (goal 15)

El alumnado de 4º de ESO del IES Clara Campoamor de Alaquàs ha realizado una actividad de senderismo por el Barranc de L'Horteta de Torrent, dentro del Proyecto Erasmus +: Agenda 2030, That's our Challenge. Además de disfrutar de la caminata, el paisaje y los restos arqueológicos relacionados con la utilización del agua, han limpiado la zona de desperdicios, una pequeña contribución al cuidado del medio ambiente.

Thanks for giving us an example to follow!

The Paralympic national champion of swimming and adapted cycling gave a talk to the students of Basic Professional Training (BPT) as a "Role Model" that helped us to motivate our students in achieving the goals 3 "Health and Wellbeing", 5 "Gender Equality" and 10 "Reduction of inequality" of the Agenda 2030. "

Lydia Ramos showed us a great example of how motivation and personal effort allow us to achieve goals that before we were not capable of imagining. She also commented that discovering sport and all that she was capable, was not only a physical improvement, but above all an improvement at the psychological level. Now she is a happy person who clearly knows what she wants to do in her life.

Example of all that is the phrases that the BPT students wanted to share about the experience:

"The girl seemed to me a reference for us" (Marina Valero)

"She showed us that although we are sad, we can always find the way" (Eli Jimenez)

"It's an example to follow" (Laura Hurtado)

"We have learned that with effort and dedication everything can be done" (José Martínez)

"She has changed the way how we see our lives and confront it" (Adrián Sahuquillo)

"A very good talk" (Ismael Mirapeix)

"Everything can be achieved" (Iván Jarque)

"Not everything is easy in life, we have to overcome all the obstacles to reach the goals we propose" (Álvaro Oliver)

"Everything can be done with effort and dedication" (Fran Mañez)

"You can do everything you propose" (Danaya Giménez)

"You do not have to surrender and you have to improve day by day" (Miguel Muñoz)

"With the will you can get everything you propose" (Daniel Sánchez)

Congratulations Lydia and thanks for giving us an example to follow!

Agenda 2030: "That's our challenge"

We are 4 schools from Italy, Germany, Greece and Spain. We will work in an Erasmus + project from September 2017 till August 2019. We are concerned in how and why educate. We want to educate conscious and active citizens capable of taking the initiative to build a better future. That is the reason why we choose the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals as a guide for our project. To form active students that are able to take decisions, we have to use active methodologies of education. We will have to educate therefore in competences and skills that allow them to analyse the problems which confronts our society and later act to improve them. We will use methodologies of project based learning (PBL), based in collaborative work in the classroom and the use of ICTs. These methodologies will suppose a new manner to work in our schools. An eTwinning project and this blog are the best choice to achieve these targets offering our students tools and places where they will communicate and cooperate.
