Project-oriented methodology is based on active, pluri or inter-disciplinary pedagogy. Projects are rooted both in  disciplines and interdisciplinarity to allow a grasp of the complexity which is inherent to any environmental issue. They can be organized around class projects, workshops or clubs or whatever.. Project-oriented  methodology requires:
  • Strong and long-lasting support from the school management team in order to secure collective involvement, commitmentand dedication;
  • Motivated adults of all status working as a team in which each person’s expectations, motivations and available skills are identified;
  • A joint period of reflection to allow for the project implementation.
