The project "Gamification in Environmental Education" was designed to acquire new innovative teaching methods (games), refresh knowledge about educational practices across Europe and link them to European environmental goals, introduce newly acquired skills in the primary school curriculum, thus ensuring the maintenance of environmental education principles. Understanding the environment and climate change is becoming increasingly important in today's society, as evidenced by the melting of glaciers, the rise of storm systems, rising sea levels and endangered species. Professional teachers are the ones who can help students create in the most direct way understanding how to tackle global challenges and address the effects of climate change by showing how they relate to choices made in everyday life. Games as a method is an effective tool to stimulate students 'interest and participation, increase students' motivation and involvement.
