The aim of these questions is:

- to make you aware about your own impact on nature and the environment;
- to develop appreciation for nature and the environment;
- to develop your own views on how to make a positive, lasting contribution to your future;
- to act on it

We challenge you to share your ideas with your twinning partners around the world, discuss possible solutions and "Create your own world"!

Questions for classroom twinning

1) Your ideal world: What is the relation between peace and the environment? What ideal situation do you want in your place and in this world? Why? What can you do (your providing and roles) in your place to support that ideal condition? Do you think in a peaceful world there would be no more nature devastation?

2) War and peace: What causes damage to your environment? What is your experience of peace that affects your daily life? Do you think war effects the environment? How? What do you do to repair the environment/peace? How can you change this for the better?

3) Stand up for your rights: In many countries children and youth have no political weight and power. How can you, being a young citizen, help the Earth to became cleaner and solve certain environmental problems? What can we all do to improve peace and environment?

Summary of Discussion

        Peace and environment depend on each other. For example, as water runs short, it'll become rarer and rarer,thus more and more expensive. This may cause disputes over its control and price which result in a war. Our environment, natural and social is destroyed because the countries are ravaged by the conflict. Political decisions sometimes are imposed on people - like moving to different areas (like in India and Pakistan, or Africa) which are not theirs, causing ethnic, political and social problems. We could compare this to moving a plant to a different type of soil or cutting its roots.

        We believe that nature is directly connected to all human beings. When you interfere in it, hurt it or destroy it, your are doing the same to yourself and to everyone around you because you depend on it to survive. We can say that the environment is a collective matter and we are all affected by someone's interference or devastation.

        In an ideal world we think people should give back to nature and society all they have taken from it. In order to have an ideal world,where there would be no environment destruction or wars, we should talk to everyone we can to make them aware of the importance of respect and preservation. And also we must prevent waste: waste of energy, water and waste of human lives. If people were educated not to litter, throw waste into the water our world would be much more agreable and peaceful than it is. All of us must engage into action. Although we are teenagers and sometimes we fell we cannot do much, each one has his own part to play. We must stop accepting things as inevitable and stop being indifferent to the problems of our planet. We must act!

There were 10 people in this group: Thomas, Marganne, Christophe, Mauricio, Fabio, Erick, Joćo, Marc, Sophie M, Stephane G.
