Ready, steady, click: walk around the city and help the planet!

Erasmus Project KA229

The need to make new generations aware about environmental problems and the risks deriving from harmful emissions into the atmosphere, the excessive production of waste and its incorrect disposal has led our school to start a series of activities to increase environmental awareness among young people. The project was born from the idea of encouraging students to look for concrete solutions to environmental problems and at the same time discouraging incorrect habits to adopt, instead, sustainable lifestyles. By using the digital skills owned by our students, we thought of developing an app for mobile devices capable of providing the users a series of walking routes in their own city and in the surrounding areas which will be implemented with multimedia content based on the artistic-cultural heritage of the territory; this will be enhanced and made accessible through sustainable mobility in the form of what we might call an "urban trekking" experience.

The objectives can be grouped into three macro areas:
a. environmental and climatic goals to facilitate the discussion between European partners about environmental issues and the sharing of good practices capable of changing habits harmful to the environment;
b. creativity and culture to educate and motivate young people and the community to the importance of safeguarding and enhancing the European cultural heritage;
c. ICT - new technologies - digital skills to contribute to the development, transfer and dissemination of innovative technologies to develop transversal skills among students from different countries and socio-economic contexts.
The content of the project activities will offer a precious opportunity for in-depth study and discussion with partners on fundamental issues will allow the growth of a new environmental awareness in the future European citizens.
