Through this project, NMS Felixdorf aimed to help students and teachers understand the concept of ecological sustainability by linking science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with real-life environmental issues. The main goals were to raise awareness of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially Sustainable Living Spaces, Renewable Energy and Saving Water, and to integrate these topics into classroom practice. The project also sought to strengthen teachers’ professional skills in digital tools, coding, robotics, 3D design and VR applications, enabling them to deliver more innovative lessons. By cooperating with European partners, NMS Felixdorf wanted to enhance intercultural exchange, foreign-language competence and teamwork, while fostering students’ critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving abilities. Ultimately, the school aimed to promote active, responsible and sustainability-oriented citizenship among young people.
As the coordinating school, NMS Felixdorf applied for this project to integrate environmental sustainability and digital innovation more effectively into its educational practices. The school recognised the need to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century by developing their STEM skills, digital competences, and environmental awareness. Teachers also needed opportunities to strengthen their use of innovative tools such as Web 2.0 applications, robotics, VR, and 3D modelling. By cooperating with partner schools from Italy, Slovenia, and Türkiye, NMS Felixdorf aimed to create a European learning environment promoting collaboration, intercultural understanding, and sustainable thinking. The project responds to both local and European priorities by helping students become responsible, creative, and environmentally conscious citizens who can think critically and act for a sustainable future.
