Our main aim - to support awareness-raising about environmental and climate-change challenges, has been achieved. Our planned activities gave support to the testing of innovative practices (educational approach based on Virtual Reality software) to prepare children and school teachers to become true factors of change.

Teachers have accomplished their skills and competencies about environment protection and together with pupils became true factors of change.Within the project implementation we also thought more widely. The project did not have an impact only on present schools' students, but with trained teachers, and developed VR-based education approach, ensured that also of students in the next generations will have the opportunity to be educated by using the innovative approach based on VR.
