▶Objectives
The motivations for undertaking this Cooperation Partnership project (KA220) are multiple, bringing benefits at the educational, social, and personal levels: Educational Motivation • Pedagogical Innovation: To introduce active, transnational methodologies, thereby making education more relevant and practical. • Internationalization: To enhance the European and international dimension of the participating educational institutions, fostering the exchange of best practices in environmental education among countries (Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, etc.). Social Motivation / Impact • Fostering Collaboration: To motivate students, teachers, and families to collaborate and work together on specific practical environmental issues. • Active Citizenship: To develop a sense of responsibility and active citizenship in students regarding their immediate environment. Personal/Professional Motivation • Teacher Professional Development: To provide professional development opportunities for teachers through mobility and international collaborative work.
▶Activities
The project developed a wide range of activities structured into four main work packages. It began with WP2 (Learning about us!), which focused on initial coordination (six transnational/virtual meetings) and the baseline assessment of teachers, families, and school leaders. WP3 (Improving ourselves) focused on mobility and practical development, including Job Shadowing and Training Events in Portugal and Italy, along with the creation of learning materials through virtual working groups. Subsequently, WP4 (Quality Practices) was dedicated to creating key quality tools, such as the "School Environmental Quality Seal" and a "Good Practice Guide." Finally, WP5 (Promoting) culminated in the dissemination of results through the organization of four Multiplier Events at the national level (Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy), including a final transnational meeting in Spain.
