EcoSculptures
EcoSculptures je međunarodni eTwinning projekt koji je osmislila i vodi učiteljica Danijela Merli Mitrović iz OŠ Vođinci, a u njemu sudjeluju i učenici i učitelji iz Grčke, Turske, Mađarske, Rumunjske, Italije, Armenije i Portugala. Iz naše škole u projektu sudjeluju učenici uključeni u izvannastavnu aktivnost Mali knjižničari, koje vodi profesorica Katarina Jukić.
Glavni ciljevi projekta su promicanje održivog razvoja kroz recikliranje materijala i izradu umjetničkih i praktičnih predmeta koje smanjuju otpad, potiču kreativnost te doprinose estetskom i funkcionalnom uređenju prostora na ekološki prihvatljiv način.
Ishodi učenja su:
- podići svijest o važnosti održivog razvoja, recikliranja i ekoloških praksi
- smanjiti otpad recikliranjem
- razviti nove kreativne i tehničke vještine u oblikovanju materijala te u oblikovanju skulptura i objekata za vrt/školu
- usvojiti dugoročne vrijednosti o zaštiti okoliša i održivom razvoju kod učenika koji sudjeluju u projektu
- povezati učenike i učitelje kroz radionice i zajedničke aktivnosti te ih potaknuti na zajednički rad na održivim rješenjima
Vremenski okvir projekta:
U studenom smo proveli inicijalnu projektnu anketu i počeli prikupljati otpad – limenke, boce od tekućih deterdženata i omekšivača.
U prosincu i u siječnju u knjižnici smo održali ekoradionice u kojima smo prikupljene predmete prenamijenili i ukrasili te ih tako pripremili za daljnje aktivnosti: sijanje i sadnju biljaka.
Tijekom siječnja prikupljali smo i staru odjeću koja više nije nosiva zbog oštećenja i mrlja, a u veljači počeli s izradom lutaka koje ćemo koristiti za predstave i pričanje priča.
Slijedi još i razmjena sjemenja s partnerima u projektu, online susreti, izbor najljepšeg predmeta izrađenog od otpadnog materijala, uzgoj i briga o biljkama od kojih ćemo na kraju projekta napraviti obrok (salata, smoothie), provođenje završne ankete i izrada filma o svim provedenim aktivnostima. Projekt će završiti 5. lipnja online proslavom i zajedničkim obilježavanjem Svjetskog dana zaštite okoliša.
EcoSculptures is an international eTwinning project founded and led by teacher Danijela Merli Mitrović from Primary School Vođinci, and involving students and teachers from Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Italy, Armenia and Portugal. From our school, students involved in the extracurricular activity Little Librarians, led by professor Katarina Jukić, are participating in the project.
The main goals of the project are to promote sustainable development through the upcycling of materials and the creation of artistic and practical objects that reduce waste, encourage creativity and contribute to the aesthetic and functional design of spaces in an environmentally friendly way.
The learning outcomes are:
The aim of our project is to promote sustainable development through the upcycling of materials and the creation of artistic sculptures that reduce waste, encourage creativity, and contribute to the aesthetic and functional design of spaces in an environmentally friendly way.
Learning outcomes are:
- to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable development, recycling and environmental practices
- reduce waste by using recycling
- develop new creative and technical skills in shaping materials and in designing sculptures and objects for the garden/school/library
- adopt long-term values on environmental protection and sustainable development in students participating in the project
- connect students and teachers through workshops and joint activities and encourage them to work together on sustainable solutions
Project time frame:
In November, we conducted an initial project survey and started collecting waste – cans, bottles of liquid detergents and fabric softeners. In December and January, we held eco-workshops in the library in which we repurposed and decorated the collected items, thus preparing them for further activities: sowing and planting plants. During January, we also collected old clothes that were no longer wearable due to damage and stains, and in February we started making puppets that we will use for performances and storytelling. This will also include an exchange of seeds with project partners, online meetings, the selection of the most beautiful object made from waste materials, growing and caring for plants from which we will make a meal (salad, smoothie) at the end of the project, conducting a final survey, and making a film about all the activities carried out. The project will end on June 5th with an online celebration and joint marking of World Environment Day.
