Building global citizenship is a process that imposes an essential need to change the educational action addressing our students. This project will take consistency from enquiry-based activities aimed at investigating the students’ knowledge of their school and to discover and bring out what beautiful, inclusive and sustainable there is in it. Consequently, the students’ critical thinking will be implemented, prompted by guiding questions, to activate problem solving strategies aimed at seeking improvement proposals and at creating a school environment that is more careful to reconciling aesthetics with the functionality of physical and educational spaces. Furthermore, a school which devotes greater attention to inclusion and environmental sustainability. Then, we will move on from the emerging proposals to possible actions, even if minimal, to switch on the desired change. A multidisciplinary STEAM path will allow the partners to share experiences and knowledge of school realities other than their own and to work cooperatively to create collaborative multimedia products. It will be a student-centred learning aimed to promote CLIL as well as communication among the partner students.

The results expected through this project consist in having our students achieve the objectives set, with the great aim of generating an active citizenship, a culture of inclusiveness and a sustainable environmental education glancing at beauty and good style to contribute to an essential need for change, starting from our schools’ environments. The work progression will be made visible through the Twinspace pages. Selected products will be disseminated through the Project diary, the website of the partner schools and social channels. Possible links between the project activities and local area organisations could be created.

We focus our attention on the language diversity present in our class groups as we would like to value the native languages of our classmates and of their parents. This inclusive action will enrich us and it will be fun to listen to the musicality of the different languages, trying to pronounce a few words of them.

Our Proposal of improvement is to value and welcome the language diversity of our class groups.

As we think that we are unique but we have many things in common. Our differences enrich us and make us feel better.

We value and include diversity!

We celebrate a special Inclusive Day at our School. We play together a collaborative Treasure Hunt. No one is left out! :-)

Enquire based activity carried out by third graders to find out SUSTAINABLE features in our School

Our Proposals of improvement are linked to the projects about Sustainability we have developed throughout this school year.

The main goal we pursued was to promote sensitivity toward the protection of air quality. As a result, our actions for change have focused on designing some flyers to hand out to our schoolmates of all the Primary classes to make them sensitive and ask them to help us to reach our goal.

We also gave our flyers to the middle school class 1D, partner of our eTwinning project, to parents and to our Headteacher too.

It seems that students have enjoyed all the project activities.

Together for a Beautiful, Inclusive, Sustainable School of the Future "Melodic Lyric"

The students of each teachers' group will create a verse and record an audio file of it. All the files will compose the collaborative "melodic lyric".
