"ENVIRONNEMENT ET CHANGEMENTS
CLIMATIQUES"

Le changement climatique est un
phénomène d'augmentation de la
température moyenne des océans et de
l'atmosphère, mesuré à l'échelle
mondiale sur plusieurs décennies, et qui
traduit une augmentation de la quantité
de chaleur de la surface terrestre.Le long des années,
l’environnement se dégrade à cause de l’homme et de ses
activités. Un jour, ce sera trop tard pour faire quelque chose
d’utile. Donc, nous devrons réaliser que l’environnement est
très important pour tout le monde et nous devrons le protéger.
Nous avons participé à un cercle d'apprentissage avec
plusieurs pays: Madagascar, Cameroun, Niger et nous.
4
Notre conclusion était la suivante: Nous avons appris
d'abord la gestion des déchets à l'école, nous devrons éviter de
jeter des objets plastiques dans les ordures, nous pouvons
mettre à la disposition des élèves des filtres à eau pour pouvoir
consommer de l’ eau potable dans chaque classe ou nous
pouvons créer un club des élèves qui luttent pour la propreté
de l'environnement, donnent des
conseils et aident à protéger
l'environnement. Nous avons apprécié
leurs réponses qui nous montrent qu'il
y a encore des gens qui se soucient de
l'environnement et que vous voulez
faire un changement. Nous devrons
prendre les mesures qui sont à notre
portée, sinon les prochaines années
nous allons pleurer parce que nous
n'avons rien fait pour sauver nos vies.

LEARNING THROUGH GTP: MILLENIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Coordinating teacher:Buie Roxana
Echim Georgiana, Damian Diana, Fodor Mihaela, Ion
Elena, Tabacaru Maria/Colegiul Economic Buzau
This cycle’s theme has been very
useful because it encouraged us to look
around us and understand the main
laws to rule our population, but also to
think about the way they affect our
lifestyle, and if they are helpful or not.
Our question was: Each and every goal need a certain
motivation. What is your inner motivation when you are trying
to achieve a certain goal that requires
a lot of work?
<= Milleniun
development goals by
2015
6
You helped us realise the things that we need to get
involved ourselves in the process of a sustainable development.
For example, some of you think that “when one is faced with
obstacles, they need to have the right motivation to keep them
going. You need to continuously remind yourself where you’re
going, what your dreams and aspirations are, and what the
result of your hard work will be. One shouldn’t make short
term goals but rather long term ones that could be beneficial in
the future. One should also avoid peer pressure and negative
energy at all times as that can affect your mindset and block
out any form of motivational approach.”.Some others thought
that our question was a difficult one, „and a complete answer
is impossible to give”.
Some of you became more philosiphical and told us that
„Motivation is the inner power or energy that pushes us
toward action and achievement. Motivation has much to do
with desire and ambition, and if they are absent, motivation is
absent too.
7
A person has often the desire and ambition to get
something done or achieve a certain goal, but the lacks push
the initiative and the willingness to take action. This is due to
lack of motivation and inner drive.Motivation strengthens the
ambition, increases initiative and gives direction, courage,
energy and the persistence to follow one's goals. A motivated
person takes action and does whatever it needs to achieve
his/her goals.
Motivation becomes strong when you have a vision, a clear
mental image of what you want to achieve, and also a strong
desire to materialize it. In this situation, motivation awakens
and pushes you forward,
toward taking action and
making your vision a reality.In
conclusion, we hope that our
question made you think about
what you can do in order to
achieve some little goals, so that the big ones can also be
achieved later.

OUR NATURE
Staicu Răzvan, Beteringhe Cristian, Teodor Alexandru/ Liceul
Teoretic „Nicolae Iorga”
În acest proiect noi am
învăţat că natura trebuie
protejată şi animalele
trebuie ajutate şi îngrijite.
Multe din întrebări au fost
despre animalele noastre rare şi locurile noastre frumoase. Noi
ştiam încă din clasele mici să
protejăm natura si acum o protejăm
foarte bine. Noi avem multe animale
cum ar fi: Capra neagră, Ursul brun,
Râsul. Natura este foarte importantă pentru toţi. Ea ne dă apă,
mâncare, oxigen si viaţă.
În România sunt mulţi oameni care aruncă deşeuri fără să
îşi dea seama că distrug ce au mai de preţ, viaţa, a lor si a
tuturor.

MY DREAM
Panait Laura, Pîrleciu Gabriela, Ionel Alexandru, Voicu
Dragoş, Leu Rareş/ Liceul Teoretic „Nicolae Iorga”Nehoiu
Our teams consists of several seventh
graders. We decided to participate to
Global Teenager Project to meet new
people, find out what people think in
other parts of the world and because
we like adventure and competition.
„The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams
is you…”-Tom Bradley
After participating to
Global Teenager Project we have
found out that dreams are
visions, ambitions are goals or levels
you want to achieve and they
motivate us to conquer our dream. Briefly, it takes ambitions
perseverance and motivation to accomplish each of your goals
10
and further more to fulfill your dreams. When you dream, you
imagine as well a direction you want to follow.
Often ambitions are the steps you need to follow in order to
reach your dreams. Dreams are what you desire to happen in
your life, and ambition is the motivation that makes you get up
and do what is necessary to achieve your dreams. What we
want or dream of depends very much on the reality we live in.
A dream is something impossible to achieve, but it gives our
lives shape and meaning. „To accomplish great things, we must
not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe .” -
Anatole France

WORLD LITERATURE –
GLOBAL TEENAGER PROJECT
Valentina Popa,Liviu Cristinescu,Mircică Mirela-
Maria/Liceul Teoretic “Nicolae Iorga”, Nehoiu
This year, on the first semester,
we had an interesting learning
circle, called „World Literature”.
Here, participants from five high
schools, three different countries, were able to exchange
information about the influence of the world literature on the
history and culture of their countries, the role of the world
literature in their everyday life.
We received questions about our
favorite authors, our childhoods’ tales,
about how we see literature and what
do we study in schools. We decided to
ask them if they know a few quotes and
12
what are their meanings, because we believe we can always
receive an useful piece of advice from the world’s biggest
writers.
We all concluded that literature is very important to us
and we learned a lot of new things. We were happy that this
was our 5th
semester at GTP and we hope it won’t be our last.
GTP- LEARNING BY PROJECTS
Clasa a XII a A/ Colegiul Economic Buzău
After a meticulous analysis, we found out that learning by
projects is an attractive and interesting way of learning in
comparison with the traditional way, which can be sometimes
boring. The advantages of learning by projects are much more
than learning in the traditional way. Learning by projects
offers you digital competences, which are very important,
improving language and communication skills and being a way
to make new friends. Although it has many advantages, it also
has some disadvantages: sometimes it takes too much time and
patience to do it, the projects can be copied from other sources
13
or from the internet, and it represents a big disadvantage for
shy persons when they have to present it in front of the
classroom. Also, the traditional way of learning can be useful
for students who are getting the information faster and better
in this way.
The participants in this project are: Anghel Andreea,
Avram Robert (coordinator), Corneci Diana, Dorobantu
Mihaela, Fata Claudia, Manole Marius, Niscoveanu Cristian,
Pascu Darius si Simion Bogdan, and the teachers are Mrs.
Piciorea Ecaterina and Mrs. Catalina Ilie.

TEHNOLOGII EMERGENTE
Clasa XI F/ Colegiul Economic Buzău
In urma primirii
răspunsurilor la întrebarea
noastră am aflat că în zilele
noastre tehnologia este cea mai
importantă, şi colegii noştri au
împărtăşit cu noi informaţiile pe care le deţin.
Noua tehnologie nu ne ajută numai
în obţinerea de informaţii utile
pentru cultura generală, ci şi pentru
salvarea vieţilor omeneşti, pentru
găsirea de noi soluţii în toate
domeniile care ne sunt de folos.
Unii colegii au spus că telefonul si computerul sunt cele
mai importante.Le putem folosi pentru cercetări si efectuarea
temelor.
16
Din Canada am aflat că în
ţara lor aparatele care
salvează vieţi sunt foarte
performante si se
utilizează în oricare caz,
de aceea, ei cred ca
acestea trebuie să fie prezente în fiecare ţară.
Asadar, o discutie cu alti colegi, din alte tari ne este
benefică deoarece putem afla multe lucruri folositoare.
GTP-GLOBAL TEENAGERS PROJECT
Clasa a XII a C/ Colegiul Economic Buzău
The natural environment encompasses allliving and non-living
things occurring naturallyon Earth or some region thereof. It is
an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living
species. The concept of the natural environment can be
distinguished by components:
Complete units that function as natural systems without
massiv intervention, including all vegetation,
17
microorganisms soil,rocks, atmosphere, and natural
phenomena that occur within their boundaries.
Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that
lack clear-cut boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as
well a energy, radiation,electric charge, and magnetism, not
originating from human activity.
The reality is that most of the companies
are not very friendly with the environment
but a very good thing is that the society is
progressing and more and more companies
are taking measures to protect
environment .
Another important fact is that the
government is taking important measures
to keep healthy the nature and punishing
the ones who harm the environment.
Conclusion!!!
The world is changing, people are now preoccupied for
nature and this is a very important thing.

VIOLENCE WORLDWIDE AGAINST
WOMEN Gabriela Ţepor/ Colegiul Economic Buzău
In this semester we participated in THE GLOBAL TEENAGER
PROJECT, which offers a rich and dynamic international learning
environment where students learn together with more than 20.000
students in over 42 countries .
This Learning Cirle was about 8 Millenium Development Goals
set by the UN and the target about achieving all of the goals by 2015.
Our question was about one of the UN's goals, which is related
to protecting women against violence.More and more women are
victims of violence and they don't have the courage to ask for help.
20
Q : 1) What does the Government in your country do about this
problem ?
2) What are the ongoing programs and how har have you in
achieving them ?
The 5 countries answered to our question and we found out a lot
of things about how the women are treated in the whole world.
In Liban, violence has many forms, but women need to endure
more than men. There, words like "adultery" is equall with a moral
crime. Libanese council launched a project which teaches young girls
how to fight when they are attacked. They use a tehnique named
aikido which is a non violent martial art.
From Hungary, we found out that the Parlament has made laws
to protect women from violence but the actual activity is done by civil
organizations. Not much is done by the state, girls are not taught any
self defence at school. Most of the violence against women is done not
by strangers, but by relatives, neighbours, partners. According to the
UN, every third woman is a victim of violence, the situation is not
better in Hungary, where every fourth woman suffers from violence.
In the state of Canada, people takes women issues very seriously.
One of the programs is YWCA A Turning Point For Women which
helps women, satisfy their needs and provides psyhical, financial and
21
emotional support. So, Canada is a state which is doing everything it
can to disolve violence against women.
Canadians fight against the violence and they also create a
helpline. It’s a good sign that government creates funds for projects
and support foundations. What it’s sad is that in Canada violence
starts in family and girls can be aggressed before the age of 12.
In Latvia, from 2014th
a law will be introduced in Latvia which
will allow the abused and persecuted victims to go to court and ask
the court to determine the appropriate limits for violent persons. At
the moment there are no programs that protect women against
violence there.
In Ukraine, for example, the Constitution tells us about a
person’s dignity and freedom from violence. Gender discrimination is
specifically prohibited under the Constitution. Speaking about
criminality,In 2007, the Government of Ukraine performed 82
criminal investigations against women.
In Romania, unfortunately the government isn’t doing many
things with this problem. Also, most Romanian women choose to live
with their violent husbands, but don’t seek help from anyone.
22
Did you know...?
One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her
lifetime.
An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by
an intimate partner each year.
The majority (73%) of family violence victims are female.
Females were 84% of spousal abuse victims and 86% of abuse
victims at the hands of a boyfriend.

UBOD- UNITED BEYOND OUR DIVERSITY
Boarcăş Alina/ Clasa a X a F/ Colegiul Economic Buzău
What makes us the same?
We do believe that we have so many in common. As mentioned in the
definition found in the wikipeida,"Something is of universal value if it
has the same value or worth for all, or almost all, people....Second,
something could have universal value when all people have reason to
believe it has value..."
Some points about what you all think we have in common:
Elected officials to serve in Public Office
Different classes → low, middle, high
National Traditions/Celebrations
Family traditions
Values
Emotions
Character
What makes you special?
Human diversity is the difference among people and how those
differences make an effect on society. These differences can include
biological, social, and cultural differences.
24
People are very different from each other. Individuality is what makes
us different from each other. We think differently and we act
differently on the same situation given we have our own experiences
in the past. But, it is in one attitude that helps us go through life as a
winner and that is the winning attitude. The never-say-die attitude
will help us excel.
Examples of rights and freedoms include:
Fundamental Freedoms (ex. freedom of belief, expression, conscience,
peaceful assembly, religion, association, freedom of the press etc.)
Democratic Rights (ex. right to vote and run for public office)
Legal Rights (ex. right to life liberty and security of the person,
innocent until proven guilty etc)
Canada not only
allows freedom of
speech, but promotes
it
Canada supports gay
marriage

WHAT COULD A TEENAGER DO TO MAKE
HIS/HER DREAM COME TRUE?
Diana, Alexandra, Iuliana, Andra, Madalin - IX B/ Colegiul
Economic Buzau
It's true that our world has got so many problems starting with
war, poverty, illness followed by too many other difficult issues to deal
with. But instead of letting all that get you down, join the fight to
improve what is needed, needed to be improved by the teens all over
the world because they are the most important people of tomorrow
society. They represent the future and that is based on their decisions .
If we really want a great country with a bright future and a new life,
we must have faith that we can do something and we must believe in
ourselves. Instead of talking, we must take action.
The past sometimes hallmarks our lives in a pleasant way and
sometimes is very painful. But the past is less important than the
future, the things can be done and changed. It is true that fulfiling a
dream is difficult, but a teenager has his whole life in front of him, his
availability to learn and change is greater, so he has every chance in
succeding. A teenager needs always to look forward and to collect only
the good parts of the past to assemble a complex puzzle, the future.
26
If we can define a dream as something that you want, that means
it has heart and meaning for you and that you believe in it. The steps
that need to be taken are little, but very important to our future and
our happiness.
First we have to identify a dream that we are passionate about,
something that matters to us. No matter what our age, we can still
make our dreams come true. The dream factory is always open and
ready for business. Anyone can pick out a shiny dream and start
working on it. As soon as we say yes to life, the door of opportunity
will start to swing and open widely. A positive attitude and
unstoppable persistence allows anyone to sail along the ocean of
dreams.
After, we have to put it in writing, tell about it to the ones who will
support you and are committed to help you overcome obstacles and
achieve results. We also have to go forward, never give up, to be
active, to be friendly, listen to our teachers and parents. We just have
to do our best and our dream can and will come true.
We can join an organization or online community that will help
us get closer to our dreams through volunteering, helping us to build
skills, or providing support. We should do our home work, study well,
27
be active, purposeful, ambitious, hard-working, participate in
different local and international projects and activities.
Last but not least, we have to learn to make specific requests
that will help us achieve our dreams and then share those resources
with others.
We have to know our strong points. Keep them up and try to
develop them. For example if we have a talent, like drawing, we
should start to take professional courses in it to keep up. Then we try
to present our work somewhere suitable, this way growing and also
developing our talent.
We shouldn’t ignore or deny the weak points in us. We just have
to know them well and try to change them into points of strength.
Teenagers should believe in them because no one has ever
achieved anything without a dream. They could follow their dreams
and the dreams will become reality one day. They must learn how to
dream because without dreams their life is boring.
When we live our dream, our life is worth living. Our life keeps
getting better and before it’s too long, we will realize that there is no
limit to how good our life can become.
