After the covid19 we felt that the always existing anxiety in teenagers was aggravated by uncertainty created by COVID-19 pandemic. We wanted to uprouse our students and not only to give them hope for a better and more secure future, but provide them with tools. These tools are the experience of obtaining fields of interest, skills and a certain competency in a given area that can later become their profession. An other tool in regaining self confidence and passion for life is the company of peers of the same age and acting together. Our students need to understand the importance of living environment for a better and sustainable future, to what extent mankind can destroy the planet, including their own health. To lessen eco-anxiety they also need to experience that mankind is able to develop different technologies that can be used in tackling the ecological, social and health vulnerabilities of the Earth. The project goal is a joint endeavour of the three schools to make STEM subjects more popular, and scientific professions more attractive. It is also a very important factor that the Hungarian ratio of graduation from STEM subjects is quite low and this can only be improved by changing the education methodologies.
The strengths of our school include several features that, in such a tender, are a guarantee of the success of the project and, with it, they can ensure further development for our students. Such strengths are the high quality of language skills of our students, their multiculturalism, increased interest in STEM subjects and the conscious use of environmental knowledge. In addition to strengths, we have weaknesses as well, that we would like to minimize and turn disadvantages into advantages. Such is the weakness that our students, as downtown learners, can hardly know the protection of nature, the sustainability of a living and inanimate environment in practice. There are few opportunities to accurately assess the dangers to living beings, and so our students know little about how to avoid these threats and what they can do to prevent damage. However besides engaging students in the topic of environmental sustainability, our most important objective was to reopen the world for our students after the covid pause. New experiences abroad, a kind of "cultural shock" might be a good tool to compensate for a long isolation of teenagers at a very sensitive period of life and all setbacks coming from it.
