The primary goal of the Erasmus project is to bring more sustainability into the classroom. The children learn how important it is to respect and to protect our environment. It is about raising awareness of processes and habits and recognizing medium- and long-term effects. The focus should not be on fatalism, but on conveying an understandable and reasonable approach. In addition, there are other goals, such as cultural exchange, getting to know each other in the respective school system, deepening the English language, using digital tools and an inclusive approach in which all participants are given the chance to participate. This applies to all children and all teachers of the participating partner schools.

Within the Erasmus project, many small projects were created: - Posters as advertising for climate, nature and environmental protection - Plastic was collected and processed into new products in the MakerSpace. - The topic of "recycling" was deepened and the children were allowed to upcycle themselves. - The children learned about their ecological footprint and how our behavior affects the earth. - The children got to know each other by means of wanted posters. - In all schools, the children developed e-books in groups that dealt with a wide variety of sustainability topics. - Pen pals developed between the children from Bulgaria, Lithuania and Liechtenstein and the English skills thereby improved. These pen pals will continue to be maintained after the end of the project (via the eTwinning platform). - The Art Contest between the three countries resulted in a common ecological calendar. - Christmas cards were written, crafted and sent. - There were visits and a lot of exchange between the participating teachers. - On Earth Day, all children had the opportunity to carry out and present their own school projects via Zoom. - At the end, a joint song was sung.

All major events (mutual visits, award ceremony Art Contest, Earth Day) were documented with film compilations. Furthermore: Posters (printed on A2), recycled plastic objects, ecological footprint, profiles, e-books, letters and greeting cards (digital and analogue), ecological calendar, joint project song.
