ROC has fostered language learning and teaching by integrating language education as a core component of its environmental, community engagement goals. ROC adopted a multilingual approach, making the project available to a wide audience while respecting and strengthening cultural identities. Having partners in Europe meant using English as a common language. ROC helped participants, adults and children, learn and use terminology related to climate change, recycling, environmental conservation, biodiversity, sustainable practices. ROC activities helped participants develop concepts, helped them communicate about them. ROC was an inclusive project in terms of language learning and teaching, as it promoted equal learning; participants with stronger language skills helped others, promoting a favorable learning environment among participants. ROC helped participants develop the knowledge and skills needed to manage the environment, language skills to communicate effectively and support these causes. The comprehensive approach helped to eliminate language barriers, making the impact of ROC project more inclusive, wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROC project informed teenagers, communities, changed attitudes, practices for environmental protection; participants acquired skills through hands-on, interactive activities using experiential learning; they carried out collective projects that generated change at individual, school, community level, through learning outcomes; they have obtained complex learning experiences, combining non-formal, informal education, respecting the principles of education for sustainable development (student-centered, critical thinking, systemic thinking, partnership, participation, connected to the real lives of children and communities, oriented towards solutions and actions). ROC activities have reconnected people with nature through a direct emotional relationship with the environment. Teachers integrated education for sustainable development into school curriculum, through a curriculum offer at school’s decision, adaptable to local context, linking environmental protection themes with economy, society, culture, education, heritage, health, social inclusion. Teachers created activities that sparked students’ curiosity, using inquiry learning, a method in which students learn by asking questions, discovering the answers themselves, sharing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROC trained participants as decision makers, agents of long-term change. Students developed ecological skills; partner schools and communities have gained people who belong to a more ecological environment. By implementing ROC activities, students learned to live ecologically, to reduce, to save money through the efficient use of resources; partner schools have become greener, more beautiful; they accessed new teaching resources, specialist knowledge, received financial support. ROC improved cooperation in finding solutions for climate change problems at local, regional, national, global level; ROC involved the participants socially, ecologically, physically, made them understand effects of climate change, trained them to communicate effectively and make decisions, developed resources and tools to support decisions. ROC implemented activities for schools and local communities by initiating campaigns, relevant experiences to address the climate crisis; generated connecting ideas, information, opportunities and stakeholders for our actions: scientists, organizations, community members. Students understood the impact of climate change, analyzed information about resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results: website( www.rangersofchange.eu), e-book (to allow people to connect, explain, share emotions: https:\/\/rangersofchange.eu\/ERASMUS-ROC-ebook.pdf ); Facebook (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rangersofchange?locale=ro_RO); Instagram (https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rangersofchange\/); recycling competitions, electricity saving campaigns, walk-to-school, tree planting. ROC generated reports with quantities of recycled materials, batteries, household appliances, meetings with decision-makers, politicians, ambassadors, consuls, journalists to whom participants disseminated the results. Students learned to create leaflets, posters, stories, shared them, brainstormed experiential learning strategies and tools (project-based learning approaches). Participants published impactful articles. ROC results are reusable, further inspiring work in climate education. ROC created networks of teachers, students, green clubs; developed skills that young people need to shape their behaviour (creative, collaborative, problem-solving, evidence-based decision-making, reasoning, empathy, ability to communicate opinion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
