The main goal of our project is to, through our own Nordic experience, contribute to the development of our even GREENER school, which will nurture a positive and healthy relationship of students and teachers towards nature and environment. We wanted to strengthen our green activities at the school by using the natural space around the school. We wanted to create our own forest classroom in the school environment. Until now, we have dealt with this important issue alone, but we also felt that the time had come to find collaborators and helpers in this process. We wanted to include the parents and relatives of our students as well as other members of the local community in the project. We also wanted them to begin to understand the importance of a GREENER school and a sustainable environment, because then they will begin to act accordingly on a local and even global level. We wanted all the participants of our project to develop critical thinking and actions regarding environmental protection, regardless of their age. We wanted to educate our teachers more and enable them to exchange ''green'' experiences with their colleagues from other European countries. By doing so, they would learn and continue to promote the European values.
In our school, the need arose among teachers and students to take some more concrete actions in order to make our school and our local environment "greener" and more sustainable, not only for us who are currently using it, but also for generations to come. We believe that it is important to start "green education", i.e. education for a sustainable environment, as early as possible, and the very beginning of primary education seemed to us to be the right time for it. The three key factors that could contribute the most to our GREEN school are teachers, students and parents. Through this project, we wanted to act precisely on their motivation, raising awareness and emotions so that they would take conscious responsibility for the environment and start concrete and daily work on its preservation. Nordic schools were among the first in Europe to start educating their youngest in terms of "green" education for the environment, and they also spend a much larger proportion of time outside (in open space), undertaking practical "green" actions in their school environment. We wanted to see and hear from them, that is, learn how they do it as active teachers and students, i.e. active citizens of the European Union.
