KCS Erasmus Programme
In March 2020 just as Covid-19 was hitting the headlines we applied to the EU to participate in an Erasmus+ programme. As many of you (especially parents) will know, an Erasmus programme entails travelling abroad to a European country to engage in cultural, social and academic activities. At second level, an Erasmus+ programme involves the exchange of students over the course of a week to collaborate with partner schools on a common project.
Challenges, Choice, Change - Our Mutual Footprint Project
In March 2020, we partnered with schools in Germany, Sweden and Poland to work on a project entitled ‘Challenges, Choices, Change – Our Mutual Footprint’. This is a climate themed project which aims to get students to:
1) accept the CHALLENGE to fight for environmental protection
2) make a CHOICE about what should and can be done/changed by us
3) effect CHANGE
4) be strong and efficient in working TOGETHER transnationally.
During the project, five major environmental topics will be addressed. These are: nature conservation, waste, water consumption, sustainable food and renewable energies. Besides making the Choice to reduce waste & recycle more within our school community, we also hope to produce an Eco app that will help raise awareness of sustainable living (the Challenge).
The themes of the exchanges are:
1. Recycle today for a better tomorrow (Kinsale)
2. Always think outside the sink (Sweden)
3. It’s always better when it’s natural (Germany)
4. Renewable is the future (Poland)
This project has been funded by the EU.
