The primary objective of our project was to instill environmental awareness and promote sustainable practices among students aged 11-15. We aimed to enhance students' understanding of environmental issues and sustainable practices through interactive workshops, presentations, and hands-on activities focusing on pre-cycling, bartering, and zero waste. Additionally, we sought to encourage students to adopt eco-friendly habits and integrate sustainable practices into their daily lives, both at school and home. Fostering community engagement by involving parents, local stakeholders, and educational institutions in project activities was another key objective, aiming to create a broader impact and promote a culture of sustainability. We also aimed to promote international cooperation and cultural exchange through mobilities and collaborative activities with partner schools in Poland, Greece, and Turkey, enriching students' global perspectives on environmental issues. Finally, we intended to create and disseminate educational materials, such as lesson plans, games and other materials to support ongoing environmental education and ensure the sustainability of project outcomes.
This partnership was formed based on shared skills like language proficiency, creativity, and problem-solving. Our project explored concepts like pre-cycling in new contexts, aiming to generate fresh ideas. We investigated careless resource consumption and sought effective solutions under the motto "We have no other place for life." Our motivation was to raise awareness and encourage action, especially among young learners, showing that small changes can make a big difference. The project needs focus on preliminary studies, planning, and continued activities. It addresses environmental preservation and action gaps. We additionally highlight challenges in waste management. The project aimed to equip participants with practical skills how to cope with environmental problems connected with pre-cycling and bartering. It sought to inspire green practices beyond schools, impacting daily life. Through LTTAs and online meetings, participants have learnt and applied environmental-friendly behaviors, fostering permanent change.
