By implementing the project, we aimed to achieve the following objectives: - Raise awareness among students from an early age about the importance of protecting the environment and addressing climate change. - Equip teachers with new methodologies, techniques, and tools (especially STEAM and digital) applicable to environmental education. - Develop digital educational materials focused on sustainability, recycling, and responsible consumption. - Promote European cooperation through the exchange of good practices and collaborative work between schools from different countries. - Involve families and the local community in the educational process, encouraging sustainable habits in students' immediate environment. - Strengthen European identity and improve participants’ language, digital, and cultural competences.

Within the framework of the project, we implemented the following key activities: Transnational meeting in Portugal (led by the Eco-School): focused on environmental education, recycling, responsible consumption, and the integration of these practices into the school curriculum. Workshops, discussions, and visits to observe best practices were carried out. Meeting in Germany (led by the STEAM-focused NGO): aimed at enhancing teachers' STEAM skills in the context of sustainability. Practical workshops were held on smart cities, conscious consumption, and activities using LEGO and recyclable materials. Meeting in Spain (led by the coordinating school): focused on the creation of digital materials for environmental education using Web2.0 tools. Workshops were also held to design family engagement content and develop the draft of the teacher e-booklet. Virtual student activity: online sessions were organized for students from all participating countries to collaborate on sustainability-related tasks and share experiences. Local workshops in each country: carried out with students, teachers, and families to apply and disseminate the knowledge and materials developed during the transnational meetings.
