With this project, the AEMM intended, through attendance of structured courses, to meet its needs, based on a concrete diagnosis carried out before the application: updating and deepening the digital skills of its teachers; promoting environmental awareness and the sustainability of the planet; improving the application of the principles of the Flexible Curriculum Management and Inclusive Education in the classroom. The first objective, linked to the global digital literacy indicator, aimed to increase, to more than 50%, the number of teachers at medium-high and/or high competence levels compared to 25% in the previous assessment. The second objective - promoting environmental awareness and sustainability - intended to enhance actions at AEMM leading to a reduction in water waste by 40%; in consumption of plasticized products by 50%; and in the weight of common waste by 40%; promote the use of individual transport by 50% and the increase in the use of alternative transport (bicycle) by 30%. With the last objective - improving Inclusive Education at AEMM - the aim was to improve school results in more than 60% of the 107 students flagged with learning disabilities.
