During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly
14
Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving
19
Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly
14
Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

ANITURRI BHI
HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things

We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country

but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

environmental hazards in
different ways We read articles
in different subjects including
English and Spanish as
foreign languages that can be
found on the web page The
final task included oral
presentations and opinion
essays Some work was chosen
to be displayed during the
following visit to the Basque
Country in October 2013
Students chosethe article to be
read and linked onto the web page They alsouploaded meaningful videos of local environmentalhazards The final task included writing opinionessays and e-magazines As a result they learnt that
the issues were not local problems The partnerswere also worried about the same dangers
The final taskincluded
recording opinion videos about the main problemthe earth is facing Students worked in groups torecord the videos on location

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

Each country researched on
environmental hazards in
different ways We read articles
in different subjects including
English and Spanish as
foreign languages that can be
found on the web page The
final task included oral
presentations and opinion
essays Some work was chosen
to be displayed during the
following visit to the Basque
Country in October 2013
Students chosethe article to be
read and linked onto the web page They alsouploaded meaningful videos of local environmentalhazards The final task included writing opinionessays and e-magazines As a result they learnt that
the issues were not local problems The partnerswere also worried about the same dangers
The final taskincluded

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

During the first months of the partnership
we set up Eco-Warriors committees
following the Irish school pattern and linking
the Agenda 21 programme the schools are
involved in
Schools included the Comenius project in
their curriculums to be developed in
different subjects Science Technology
Citizenship Civic Education Arts amp Crafts
Home Economics Business European
Studies Biology foreign languages etc
Although the partnership worked in English
there were opportunities to work and
practise foreign languages too
Mother tongues within the partnership
English French German Spanish and
Basque
Foreign languages within the partnership
English French German and Spanish
The first tasks included exchanging school
portraits emails and personal information
(e-twinning) Afterwards presentations about
waste management in each country and a
questionnaire about waste management
were created The next step was to work on
climate change and environmental problems

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Download the findings here
Subjects Citizenship Ethics Civic Education
English and Biology Aniturri
Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving
19
Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

essays Some work was chosen
to be displayed during the
following visit to the Basque
Country in October 2013
Students chosethe article to be
read and linked onto the web page They alsouploaded meaningful videos of local environmentalhazards The final task included writing opinionessays and e-magazines As a result they learnt that
the issues were not local problems The partnerswere also worried about the same dangers

How do we manage waste
Managing waste at aniturriYear 4 students recorded this video and analysed the
positive and negative aspects of the system that was
implemented ten years ago A couple of years ago the
way of collecting organic waste changed but they
found out that the implementation needs some
improvements In general students separate waste
but the system may be confusing sometimes They also
state that they should pay more attention to the signs
and make a bigger effort to use the containers properly

Year 3 students created the draft of the
questionnaire First Year 4 students corrected it
and improved some questions Then partners
discussed the questions they wanted to include in
the questionnaire
Questionnaire aboutwaste
Most people always separate waste but not the same
amount of partners think they generate a lot of waste
It is also important and necessary for them to
separate waste
Most partners think the system within their school is
ok or it could be improved
Many students think packaging is a big problem So
shopping habits should be considered
Everybody is aware of the benefits of reusing
recycling and reducing In addition they believe
reusing helps in many ways to combat climate change
A high proportion of students wouldnrsquot ask for an
extra bag and many of them would carry a bag with
them They also seem to like buying local and know
about the benefits of eating healthy
FindingsSurvey carried out in France Germany NIreland Germany and the Basque Country

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving
19
Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

HOLY TRINITY COLLEGE
Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving
19
Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

Why
Because it damages the planet
Because if we produced less waste we wouldnrsquot need incinerators
Because we need a healthier planet
Because we produce too much waste
It is obvious we should reduce the amount of waste we produce
Reducing waste is the most effective solution
Because we donrsquot reuse enough
Landfills are full up
Packaging is unbearable We should change our shopping habits
To help save the environment and reduce costs
Because of pollution and climate change
Many similar answers were
We are responsible for the waste we produce so we have to take action
Money used towards finding places to dump waste and recycle it would be used
for other needs if we produced less waste
The pollution in the air is wrecking the whole EnvironmentIf we all start reducing it we will help the place and hopefully
the world will last longer because at the minute
we world is burning away (
Because waste goes to poor countries
Less waste=
less pollution
Reduce reuse recycle
We buy too many things
We throw too many things
18
We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

We eat we will eatWe produce waste we will produce waste
We donrsquot consume less More waste Bigger problem
We are living in a consumer society
that leads to the production of more waste
It is very
important to reduce
waste
Landfills will be shut down
It is a must to reduce waste

Do you know what the benefits of reducing reusing and recycle are
We can reduce pollution and waste There is less pollution when you sort outthe different materialsItrsquos better to use things several times not just once
The decrease of the materialsused to create all the products
We produce less wasteWe use the product more times and
we save money as well as the environmentNo I donrsquot know about it
Our live model would be betterand our health would improveIf we reduce
we donrsquot have to produce so muchThere should be less packaging
Not to spoil raw materialsIt means saving

Problems with the
following questionWe asked about the yellow container but the colour of the container
varies in each country
In our country we use the yellow container for plastic and metals
but it is not the same in other countries

Holy Trinity College (HTC) from Cookstown N Ireland
represented the Basque Country at Stormont Parliament
It was a collaborative work between Aniturri and HTC
Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

Ten schools had to present their findings on their research
into Climate Change in another country and to discuss the
topic in detail The aim of this exciting project was to
increase environmental awareness and encourage
behavioural change through widening the understanding
and knowledge of the impacts of climate change and
adaptation actions necessary to deal with it

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300
3 In England and Ireland you need A levels to enter university 268 UCAS points are countedIn the Basque Country lsquoHautaprobarsquo is taken after 2 years of Baccalaureate (=Batxilergoa)Students can also study VET and take another university entrance examIn Germany you need to take the lsquoAbiturrsquo university entrance exam
TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries

WORK CAFEacuteTable 1 Waste managementTable 2 School systemsTable 3 Environmental issuesTable 4 Highlights of the Comenius visit
TABLE 1 Conclusions
ConclusionsWe use different colour containers for the same things in each country Thatrsquos confusing Somecountries have more bins than othersWe like the German system but it implies more explanations to understand how it works They havelsquoPfandrsquo you pay for the bottles but you get the money back when you return bottles to the shop to berecycledGlass goes to different colour containersYellow container bottles cannot be recycledBasque people have more bins The blue container is for paper and cardboard The yellow one is forplastic cans and tins (metals)
TABLE 1 Waste Management1 How do we manage waste in our schools2 Suggestions for waste management in our schools3 Have you ever visited a landfill site If yes what wasis like Would you like to visit one
TABLE 1 SuggestionsIn Ireland they deposit plastic that can be recycled and paper in the blue containerIn England there are green bins in each class and a compost bin in the cooking roomScrap metal is sent to a green point in every school
Suggestions
German students say their bins need something else than a tag They like the idea of havingbins with different colours instead of black bins Basque students need an organic bin fortissues Irish students hope the Council will listen to their suggestions about organic wasteEverybody should visit a landfill to see what it is likeEngland reminds us that there is a need to cut down on wasting electricity Basque studentswill start a campaign Too many students think that lights are being left on and more attentionshould be paid on not wasting electricityEngland suggests having large recycling bins for clothes and shoes at school
TABLE 2 ConclusionsTABLE 2 School Systems1 What age do children begin Primary School2 Tell us about your school day3 What do you need to enter university or VET
Conclusions1 Most countries start Primary at the age of 6 In some countries it is common to attend
kindergarten12 years old Year 8 in English) and 1 DBH in Basque (It stands for the first year ofSecondary Education) In Germany there are three kinds of schools HauptschuleRealschule or Gymnasium Students attend one type or another according to theiracademic ability
2 Lunch 1230 (Basque C) 1215 (England) and 1240 (Ireland) German students eat at adifferent time each day
TABLE 2 ConclusionsSchool dayGermany starts at 800 There is a 5 min break after every class period (45 min) After 2 periods thereis a 20 min break Not everybody finishes at the same time (16001800)
Basque students start at 830 MW school ends at 1530 and TF school ends at 1430 Schoolperiods last 55 min There is a 2 min break after each lesson Two long breaks after 2 periods (20 minand lunch time 1h 15 min MW) or 30 min (TF) after each three lessons
Ireland starts at 845 and ends at 1510 There is a break after every 2 lessons of 15 min
England starts at 850 and finishes at 1500 There is a Breakfast Club Lessons last 55 min or 1 h Inthe morning the first lesson starts at 910 and there is a break at 11001115 After lunch lessons startat 1300

TABLE 3 ConclusionsTABLE 3 Environmental Issues1 The positives2 The negatives
In Germany there are lots of regulations and measures to protect the environment People pay forplastic bags or bring their own Other countries have started to do it or are going to do it due to newregulations
In the Basque Country people are concerned about environmental issues and join ecogroups to fightfor better systems There are a lot of protected areas and parks
In England residents like recycling
In N Ireland there are ecoclubs all across the country The same happens at schoolsThere are also a lot of commercials to get attention and a big concern about renewable energy
1 The positives
TABLE 3 Conclusions2 The negatives
In Germany there is too much waste Eg food There is too much packaging Eg at supermarkets
In England there is too much packaging not enough sustainable energy and poor public transport
In Ireland people donrsquot listen There is a big problem with litter and flytipping the countrysideHowever there are people who are trying to save the country
In the Basque Country they are worried about fracking and incinerators The danger is close to them
Everybody agrees that packaging is one of the biggest issuesFracking is becoming a threat in some countries
