Environmental Learning Illustrated

Implementation period: 01.10.2017 – 30.09.2019
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2017-1-UK01-KA204-036748

Project description:

The project ELI is linked with the European Union’s commitment “Healthy and Sustainable Environment for Present and Future Generations” (European Commission paper, 2014) and an international commitment to protecting natural habitats and biodiversity, but also tackling other environmental problems, including the reduction in carbon emission as reflected in the so-called 2015 Paris Agreement, with the need to develop comprehensive education programmes that address the mentioned needs.

Partnership will create an e-learning programme on climate change and other environmental problems with illustrations and graphic designs to explain key concepts and activities of the e-learning programme, so to increase the learning success of the participants, as well as reach out to more people who do not necessarily have a scientific background in the explained topics. By adding a graphic novel to the programme, partners target to interest a larger audience, apart from those formally taking the course. The novel will be available for free download on the project platform. We hope that a lighter read on environmental issues will encourage more people to become interested in the project. It will include recommended actions on environmental topics and advice what influence humans have on the environment.

The aim of the project was to develop and implement in 6 countries (Poland, Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria), an innovative method called ForProve. It contributed to reduce unemployment among young people. This method combines the two theoretical models: Improve Theatre and Forum Theatre. The main aim of the project was to equip young people with entrepreneurship skills by the innovative method.
The attractiveness of theatre art had to be developed for creating and strengthening the skills of young people which they need in order to be successful in the business world. The new method has been based on good practices in Forum Theater and Improve Theater. It is an innovative non formal education method for stimulation of the entrepreneurship, leadership and transversal skills, definitely contributing to success on the labour market in the partner countries.
