We sought to strengthen teachers' professional skills with innovative tools to creatively and effectively teach sustainability, climate change, and healthy lifestyles. The project aimed to equip educators to inspire students to become "agents of change" through practical, hands-on learning, such as theatre and improvisation techniques. The goal was to motivate students by addressing global issues they care about and promoting sustainable behaviors like reducing waste and healthier eating. 8WAYS project aimed to develop student's skills and values to take meaningful action on these topics, integrating these competencies into the curriculum. The project aimed to contribute to planetary sustainability by encouraging more sustainable consumption habits, raising awareness about the environmental impact of food choices, and promoting practices that reduce waste. We aimed to combat childhood obesity and foster healthy habits by educating students on balanced diets and reducing processed food consumption. To achieve these objectives, the project produced three key outputs: - Handbook for teachers for 8 theatrical stories to be presented in schools. -The use of improvisation theatre techniques -Digital platform that includes recipes

Partners implemented a variety of activities across WPs, aimed at promoting sustainable eating habits and enhancing education through innovative methods. Partners conducted a joint research initiative to identify the eight most harmful foods to the planet, resulting in a comprehensive teacher's manual. Ribamar developed questionnaires for 400 students to assess their consumption patterns, which informed the manual's content. Next, partners organized workshops that engaged students in improvisation theatre, allowing them to express themselves through visual, verbal, and body techniques. This culminated in the creation of eight theatrical plays, with each partner contributing to the storytelling process based on the harmful foods identified in the Manual. Partners also launched a digital platform featuring educational videos and a recipe book, where students uploaded their own healthy recipes, promoting community engagement and sharing of food traditions. Moreover, partners executed a dissemination strategy that included social media promotion, newsletters, and multiplier events to share project outcomes with a wider audience, ensuring all partners actively contributed to raising awareness about sustainable eating practices.
