Objectives

The main objectives we aimed to achieve were: - To increase knowledge of the European Union’s Environmental Policy; - To develop practical skills (e.g. planting, selective waste collection); - To promote artistic, linguistic, and digital competences; - To foster critical thinking, creativity, communication, and teamwork; - To raise awareness of the importance of natural resources and the need for sustainable practices; - To engage students in meaningful experiences that would strengthen their 21st-century skills and sense of active citizenship.

Activities

A wide range of activities was carried out, both in-person and virtually, including: - Various recycling workshops, including paper recycling for later use, nature walks, environmental clean-up actions, tree planting, and seed sowing in the school garden; - Composting of natural waste such as leaves and garden scraps, promoting circular economy practices; - Development of thematic work for each activity, using both physical formats (posters) and digital formats (presentations and videos); - Artistic activities using recycled materials; - Internal and public exhibitions showcasing the work carried out; - Creation and maintenance of a project website, as well as organisation of competitions and cultural presentations; - Regular online meetings and sharing of good practices among partners; - Celebration of thematic days such as World Water Day, Earth Day and Forest Week, with the active involvement of the school community.

Impact

Among the main results of the project were: - Increased environmental awareness among students, teachers, parents, and local communities; - Creation of both digital and physical products: videos, photographs, posters, ecological calendars, exhibitions, and presentations; - Development of practical, linguistic, and artistic competences; - Active involvement of the educational community and reinforcement of transnational partnerships; - Dissemination of results through the project website, eTwinning platform, and social media; - Commitment to keep the project website active for at least five years after the end of the project, ensuring continued access to the resources produced.
