The objectives initially proposed for the development of the project were the following: 1. Identify and understand the causes of the environmental and social problems that affect our planet and our immediate environment, as described by the "Sustainable Development Goals" of the 2030 Agenda. 2. Raise awareness and acquire good practices for the protection and improvement of the social and natural environment to achieve the "Sustainable Development Goals" of the 2030 Agenda. 3. Internationalize education in schools through collaboration with other countries within the framework of eTwinning and the Erasmus+ community. With the execution of the Project, we hoped that the students would learn to recognize the main environmental problems, the impact of human beings and the social inequalities that currently affect their immediate environment and the environment of other countries. It was also our hope that the different Educational Communities would acquire good practices directed towards improvement of the surrounding environment, and therefore diminishing our negative impact on Europe's natural and social environment.

Most of the activities designed in the project have been developed as initially planned and have been carried out through the seven missions that we had entrusted to our ECOhéroes. The activities have directed all intervention actions in the natural and social environment, raising awareness among students, teachers and families towards the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and the involvement of local corporations. Point out the motivation of all the students when receiving the letter about the different missions they had to carry out, the exchanges of experiences between the different schools by video calls, and the activities prepared by the receiving schools of the two teacher mobilities, Italy and Spain. It is our intention to continue with many of the actions already started and/or develop others similar to those described in the Project since we consider that they are not temporary and that we must continue working so that all Educational Communities continue with the commitment to the use of good practices to improve our environment and our planet.

The good results obtained have been related to the knowledge of the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by the three Educational Communities and have served to improve their impact on the natural and social environment, as well as raising awareness of sustainable development of the planet through cooperation, participation and civic engagement. In addition, each partner country carried out actions in the immediate environment to develop these sustainable development objectives and the schools shared the different ways of achieving these objectives and their results, learning from each other.
