By implementing this project, our institution aimed at contributing to the saving of the seas and oceans of our planet. Our ambition was to raise people's awareness about the dangers of sea pollution, and we considered the best starting point to be the children we, as teachers, educate in schools. We considered that the best way to do that was to write and Erasmus application, thus giving students from all four partner institutions the chance to learn important things for our future.
The reasons for applying to this project increased gradually, largely as a result of participating to workshops and actuvities with the same topic- ecology. I used these activities as part of my personal and teaching experience, and I came to realize that, although some of the projects were local, they haven't been transformed into ERASMUS+ projects. The main reason for applying for this project was to contribute to the human's trying and struggle to save planet Earth. Moreover, the students from the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" National Military College Constanta gladly participated to some previous ecological activities but they didn't have the opportunity to be involved into an Erasmus+ project. Hence, this project addressed the students' need to be part of an international project, our institution's needs to gain Erasmus experience, our turistic city's needs to keep the Black Sea as clean as possible for turists, locals and the maritime commerce, our country's needs to have a clean sea, so we can all benefit of fresh seafood and increased local budget., our planet's needs to be kept as healthy as possible, and even the needs of future generations who will have a better life due to the fact that oceans and seas are cleaner.
