The project aimed to: raise awareness among the students and teachers involved towards the issue of climate change and environmental protection; through international cooperation, strengthen students' respect for the environment and sustainability practices (civic education skills); increase the collection and reuse percentages of recyclable materials; overcome language barriers through contact with Partnership peers; improve language skills; increase the technological and digital skills of teachers and students, as a vehicle for the passage of information or for in-depth analysis at an interdisciplinary level; acquire awareness of one's own cultural context, while at the same time integrating into a fully European mentality; involve disadvantaged students; develop creativity in teaching; involve families, organizations and local authorities in project activities; create products derived from the recycling of materials; disseminate the project activities and make the results achieved known; improve the management skills of the Partnership Project team; give educational institutions a European dimension.
The reason why an application was submitted for this project is linked to the importance of the themes of environmental protection and education for sustainable development, with particular regard to the growth of social and civic skills such as behavior attentive to energy saving, protection and enhancement of cultural and environmental heritage. In particular, for the first education cycle, the schools involved pursued the objective of spreading awareness that the great problems of the current human condition (environmental degradation, climate chaos, energy crises, meeting and discussion of cultures and religions, the search for a new quality of life), analyzed in the 2030 Agenda, can be addressed through close collaboration between traditionally different realities (in a transnational perspective of "enrichment" and overcoming linguistic barriers), but also between disciplines and cultures. The primary need was therefore to understand the importance of shared rules, alongside that of improving and increasing linguistic skills, using the English language as the vehicular language of the entire educational path.
