Planting the same hope under the same sky
"Green Words" Dictionary
"The 'Green Words' Dictionary is a collaborative project product developed through a series of interactive and student-centered activities carried out during the 4th students' meeting. To ensure proper tracking of participation, the partners were first asked to add their students’ names to a shared document:

The teachers and students then worked together in transnational teams to create meaningful content by combining environmental awareness with creativity and language skills.
The process included the following activities:
-
The participants were divided into breakout rooms and asked to choose a plant (such as a tree, flower, or bush) symbolizing nature: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mxC8_2Jeag5duRuJ70VTUaKI8UqKnH92hPb_OLCPRJU/edit?tab=t.0
-
The selected plants were then randomly distributed among groups for further work.
-
Environmental issues identified by the partners were also randomly assigned to each group.
-
In the second round of breakout rooms, each group worked with a specific plant name and environmental topics.
-
The participants generated vocabulary related to the given environmental topics, using the letters of the plant name as initials: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z5H-pDQECXeIkmIMiYw62-CriZfl7OMxvTyVHXiB3lE/edit?usp=sharing
-
The collected words were collaboratively recorded on Padlet boards prepared in advance by the partner teachers:

Through these activities, the 'Green Words' Dictionary was shaped as a shared learning outcome, promoting collaboration, environmental literacy, and active student participation."
