The main objective of the project was to enable a profound change in peoples’ behavior and skills to make green lifestyle permanent, starting in the partner schools. The project also aimed at providing access to the best practices of green education activities to meet the needs of students and applying them successfully in the partner schools. Other important goals were to develop educational staff and pupils' foreign language, ICT and teamwork skills; working in international groups using different ICT tools had naturally a central role in this. In addition, we wanted to promote European Cultural Diversity and active European Citizenship as well as to encourage tolerance among pupils and educational staff coming from different cultures.
