The first objective was creating awareness and developing competencies in various sustainability-relevant sectors, such as clothing, food and waste and developing green sectoral skills strategies that better meet the needs of individuals. The second objective was inclusion. In a series of activities, we stimulated the students with all kinds of backgrounds, interests, capacities, differences, etc, to work together, showing them that you can only reach proper results through collaboration and cooperation.
First of all, ecological awareness and literacy, green thinking, and sustainability. Through all the visits, lectures, workshops, activities etc. we wanted the students to be much better informed about our environment and the way to protect it. All these activities were focused on sustainable clothing, km0 food, and zero waste. Secondly, support the pupils' connectedness, expertise, and autonomy and show them how cooperation with peers, despite another background, nationality, mother-tongue, a learning difficulty, etc, can lead to success. Thirdly, developing and/or improving entrepreneurial skills both in a national and international context, English skills, ICT skills, and social skills. The main activity for this was the Ecothon. Last but not least, opportunities to widen the horizons and to get to know other European nations. We carefully chose the participants for a meeting, taking into account inclusive measures. One-third of the participants were students with fewer opportunities, due to difficult social circumstances, other backgrounds, or learning difficulties
