▶Objectives
We pay attention to protecting the environment, being informed about environmental awareness, achieving a more liveable world, and taking individual responsibility. In this direction, we conducted a needs analysis in our institutions with our project and as a result, we aimed to increase the level of climate awareness and environmental awareness from 22.1% to 40%. Our main goals are to create climate awareness in our daily lives, to develop conscious human behaviours that are friendly to nature, to have people with green skills, and to ensure the use of recyclable products.

Our activities within the scope of our project were carried out by each partner in their own countries.
▶Impact
We saw and analysed climate awareness activities in different cultures and transferred good practices to our schools insofar as our circumstances, possibilities and conditions permit. We drew attention to environmental and green-friendly living standards. We carried out original activities related to nature. In this way, we tried to provide our teachers and students with the green skills foreseen in the green agreement we targeted. We organized events to continue the process outside of school with our family trainings. Carbon footprint application has been developed. The Turkish school became an eco-school (our school was already an eco-school9. Materials have been developed. The curriculum has become richer. This led to the addition of richer methods and techniques to lesson plans. Cooperating with Europe and introducing our students to different cultures allowed them to enrich themselves socially and culturally. We have achieved effective results in order to raise individuals who are aware of the importance of nature, the environment and living creatures, and who love and protect them.
