The project had three main objectives: 1.Increase knowledge about the impact of everyday human behaviors on climate and the environment. Participants were to deepen their knowledge in this thematic area. They were also supposed to observe behaviors and actions conducive to the environment in the countries where visits took place and compare them with what they know and see in their own environment. Participation in mobilities was intended to foster the acquisition of environmentally friendly habits. 2.Development of digital skills. Participants were to improve their digital competencies by using applications such as Google Maps, GPS, and translation tools during visits. They were supposed to prepare materials before departure and for dissemination activities using ICT. 3. Development of intercultural competencies. Learning in an international environment, participants were to acquire competencies that facilitate understanding people from different cultures. Participation in mobilities was expected to lead to better communication and relationship-building. Increasing intercultural competencies also involves empathy and readiness to establish relationships with representatives of other cultures, as well as respect and tolerance.
