Our objectives in implementing the project were multifaceted. Firstly, we aimed to foster a sense of belonging to the European family among our institutions and promote common values. Through collaboration, we seeked to popularize positive attitudes, innovative methods, and demonstrate the mutual benefits of cooperation between different institutions. The project created new resources and methodologies, focusing on developmental bibliotherapy techniques, emphasizing collaborative efforts among students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders. We aimed to develop soft skills such as teamwork, responsibility sharing, respect, voluntarism, sensitivity, and empathy. Interactive educational contents were developed, integrating outdoor elements to facilitate understanding, especially for primary school children. Through our transnational partnership spanning Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Spain, and Turkey, we aimed to address problems from diverse perspectives and develop multi-layered solutions. With three main intellectual outputs focused on climate and digitalization, we hope to contribute step by step to global environmental protection.
We applied for the LISTEN Project to address the urgent needs related to climate change education, environmental protection, and digital skills for Generation Z. Our aim was to inspire educational environments to adapt innovative teaching methods, assess pedagogical effectiveness, and enhance digital competences. By incorporating bibliotherapy workshops and leveraging the Developmental Bibliotherapy (DBT) method, we intended to enrich learning experiences. Our participation also aimed to raise awareness, foster responsibility, and empower individuals to contribute to environmental protection. Each institution in the project had unique motivations, such as gaining new experiences, enhancing management skills, and sharing past experiences. Given the challenges posed by COVID-19, effective international digital cooperation is paramount. Through the LISTEN Project, we seeked to emphasize the importance of individual and collective actions in addressing environmental challenges and mitigating climate change by developing digital and interactive tools.
