The Green Eleven in Europe project aimed to prepare teaching staff to tackle climate change topics in an innovative and active way, engaging students` energy, enthusiasm and ideas, including outdoor education.

To work together, the most common language of communication is English. Therefore, improving language competence will open new, wider opportunities for the development, discussion and action of the group of teachers.
