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

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

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

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

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

some personal emails that were

answered by emails social networks

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

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

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

varies in each country

but it is not the same in other countries

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

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

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

varies in each country

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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
