Tomelloso mieste, Ispanijoje, balandžio 27-28 d. įvyko antrasis tarptautinio Erasmus+ projekto “Rangers of Change” dalyvių iš Lietuvos, Portugalijos, Rumunijos, Graikijos ir Ispanijos susitikimas.
Visi projekto dalyviai komandinio darbo metu, pasitelkę empatijos bei derybų įgūdžius sprendė, kaip įtraukti mokinius į klimato kaitos problemų sprendimus. Aptarė, su kokiais sunkumais susiduriame, kokių reikėtų imtis veiksmų, siekiant daryti pozityvius pokyčius klimato kaitos klausimais.
Visa savaitė buvo kupina įdomių gamtosauginių veiklų. Bendravome ir komandomis dirbome kartu su mokiniais iš Portugalijos, Rumunijos, Ispanijos ir Graikijos. Veiklų gamtoje metu stebėjome ir rinkome duomenis,
Fuensalidos rūmuose susitikome su tvarios plėtros ministru Kastilijoje-La Mančoje. Trečiąją susitikimo dieną apsilankėme Europos Parlamento biure, Madride, Prado muziejuje, Retiro parke, o išvykimas į Lagunas de Ruidera gamtos parką abejingų dėl gamtos grožio bei švarios aplinkos, nepaliko.
Didžiulį įspūdų paliko Campo de Criptan pastatyti senieji vėjo malūnai bei Toledo – trijų kultūrų: krikščionybės, islamo ir judaizmo miestas,
Gražiškių gimnazijos komanda: mokiniai Gabrielė Navikaitė, Eglė Valavičiūtė, Dovydas Burokas, Gracijus Jeseliūnas bei direktorė Grita Launikonė ir mokytoja Vilma Valavičienė dėkinga šio vizito šeimininkams – Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria Eladio Cabañero mokyklos mokytojams, direktoriui ir mokiniams už puikiai suplanuotas veiklas, už svetingumą ir bendro tikslo siekimą.

ROC in Spain, April 23 – 28
„So on April 23 – 28th we had an amazing opportunity to attend the second meeting of Erasmus+ project “Rangers of Change” in Tomelloso, Spain. There we had a chance to meet our peers from Portugal, Greece, Spain and project coordinator country – Romania. All the team members had an amazing opportunity to work in teams where using negotiation and other skills we were trying to sort out how to involve students in the solutions of climate change. Finally, we can see obvious evidence that the project made a huge impact on the participants.“

„During our wonderful Erasmus+ stay in Spain, we discussed difficulties we face, connected with environment, as well as actions needed in order to a make positive impact on the questions of climate change. Waste management and recycling workshops helped us look at the problem from a creative side. We had a chance to understand human activities and their impact on our landscape, as well as what needs to be done to change it.“
~ Gabriele
„All our week was unforgettable, with a lot of interesting environmental activities. We communicated and worked in international teams from other European countries. When there were activities in nature, we observed and collected data. This helped us get a wider idea on problems, as well as possible solutions. I understood that if each of us did something, we would live in a more beautiful environment. Something must be done before it is not too late. I am thankful that I met peers form otherr 4 countries.“
~ Gracijus
„The week in Spain was fruitful. In The Palace of Fuensalida we met the Minister of Sustainable Development in Castilla–La Mancha and got the idea of sustainable cities. On the third day of the meeting we visited the European Parliament office, Madrid, Prado museum, El Retiro Park. However, we were blinded by the beauty of Lagunas de Ruidera natural beauty due to its amazing and clean nature. It would be a pity to lose such wonderful natural sights and each of us must do something“.
~ Dovydas
„I was mostly also impressed by the old mills of Campo de Criptana and Tolledo – the city of three cultures: Christianity, Islam and Judaism, as well as a path along the Tagus River. Of course, we liked outdoor activities, such as hiking, climbing. It helped understand that if we do not start doing something, we might lose these amazing spots. Also, while observing and collecting data we noticed that we could find out about the impact of extreme weather on the environment; I found out a lot of new facts.“
~ Gabriele
„The team of Gražiškių gimnazija, Lithuania: students Gabrielė Navikaitė, Eglė Valavičiūtė, Dovydas Burokas, Gracijus Jeseliūnas and Headmistress Grita Launikonė with teacher Vilma Valavičienė are thankful to the hosts of this visit, the teachers, Headmaster and students of Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria Eladio Cabañero for the perfectly planned activities, hospitality and reaching for the common aim.
