Sustainable Me - my power as a consumer
FIRST ERASMUS+ MOBILITY: ACERRA –ITALY
21-26 March 2022
The 1st Transnational Learning activity (C1) of the Erasmus + Project “Sustainable me-My power as a consumer” took place at Liceo Alfonso Maria de’ Liguori, Acerra NA from 21st to 26th of March 2022, as previously scheduled by the four partners schools.
In the first meeting we worked on different aspects: 1. our first priority was to face the different aspects of Pollution and sustainability, as we planned in our Project; 2. the second one was to work with students in presence in their transnational groups; 3. the third priority was to verify students’ knowledge of the glossary about our Topic. The glossary could be a CLIL material for future use in class; 4. the last activity was to arrange a virtual visit to the Waste-to-energy-plant that insist on our territory.
The staff members met outside the activities for planning and organisational matters as we had not scheduled project meetings to this purpose, but we preferred to discuss project management matters on the occasion of the transnational activities.
- Different aspects of pollution and sustainability.
Students began to work on the Topic last year, using the eTwinnig platform. In Italy they had the opportunity to compare the different answers they gave to the Ecological Footprint survey and fix the most frequent ones on a Poster. This first activity was guided by the German Team. Our footprint on the Earth could be lighter if we chose in a more conscious way: Italian students presented a power point about psychological aspects of purchase: Are you an emotional buyer?. The 3 R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle activity described how much we should handle our waste. Reduce the amount of waste we create in the first place. Reuse items as often as possible – to put less strain on the world’s finite resources. And Recycle appropriate man-made and natural materials. This activity was guided by the Finnish Team. Air pollution was another impotant aspect we faced lead by the Spanish Team.
- Working together in transnational groups.
Students had the opportunity to work together in international groups in many activities, such as Ecological Footprint and the Treasure Hunt they had in Naples: in this game, there were 6 international teams and they had to find out objects as cigarettes, candy wrapper thrown into the street or bike, overboard and other objects they had on the list, then they had to take a photo and share it with the position by phone. In this Hunt, they could focused the bad and good behaviour everyone should have strolling around.
- Students’ knowledge of the glossary about our topic.
Our students’ answered a Quizizz questionnaire about the Air Pollution glossary (Spanish Team).
Our students’ answered a KAHOOT questionnaire about the 3 R (Finnish Team).
Our students’ answered a Google Form about Being an emotional Buyer (Italian Team).

All the students’ made a webquest about packaging, in the computer lab, too (Italian Team): after reading the meaning of Packaging, they had to match 5 words and definitions (words known by Clil activity they made on eTwinning); then they were asked to do an Internet search among a list of website given to them and prepare a short presentation answering these questions: what is packaging? is it possible to reduce packaging to preserve the environment? Do you need to read more artiches?
- Virtual visit to the Waste-to-energy-plant
The last activity was to arrange a visit to the Waste-to-energy-plant that insist on our territory, as we planned in our Project. As a result of the Corona virus pandemic it was not possible to go to the waste-to-energy-plant so we had a virtual tour. It was a pity, because it was difficult to follow Mrs. D’Angelo explaining the system they use to save energy, because she spoke English, but the videos she showed were in Italian, so understanding was really difficult.
