Green Adaptation of the SW-PBS framework- GREEN SESAME model
This report presents an analysis of sustainable practices reported by adolescents from Italy, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. Eight focus groups explored aspects of sustainability including energy conservation, food choices, temperature management, mobility, purchasing habits, water conservation, waste management, and connection with nature.
Key findings reveal common trends across countries, such as energy-saving practices, minimizing food waste, temperature management, sustainable transportation, responsible purchasing, water conservation, and connection with nature.
This report consolidates insights from teacher interviews across Italy, Germany, and Spain regarding their perceptions of students' sustainable behaviors. The interviews explore varying perspectives and observations of teachers about sustainability practices among their students.
