An Erasmus+ KA229 school collaboration project
The project "Little people for big changes" reflects today's need for global change, so that our future and our children' one will be safe and healthy. It was born from the need for children to appreciate our environment and to have responsible attitudes and behaviour.
The project is including 6 preschools in different countries:
Sweden, Romania, Turkey, North Macedonia, Greece and, Italy.

Our purpose in developing this project is that the children, who will be independent adults,will be able to take responsibility for the environment and to save the Earth's resources,by being able to use sustainability. Also,we want to give the adults involved understanding and awareness about how important it is to be economical, to recycle and to be able to use other tools such as digitization to avoid wasting Earth's resources.

WHY THIS PROJECT WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Another goal is to develop the children's identity and independence and confidence in their own ability which is linked to the children's creativity and ability to interact and communicate with the outside world. Our idea is that working on projects at the preschool will build and create meaning and expand children's learning in such an extremely important subject as Nature's and environmental saving.
We will use the storytelling methodology which is an important part of teaching in the kindergarten because learning is both more effective and lasting when the lesson is conveyed through a story. In our project the imaginary story with two characters, two mascots "tree Charlie and captain Eko" help children learn new vocabulary, learn and build important concepts such as respect of nature, of the environment where they live, pollution and manmade harm done to our nature. The two mascots will lead children towards a better comprehension, literacy, art, math and science concepts, fine motor skills and the comunicative ability.
Teaching and fantasy can happily coexist in order to reach our objective to make children aware of “sustainable development”.They will be responsible for the future. Participants will be involved through events, workshops, games, activities, and shows in order to create a profitable collaboration network with small pupils.
