Project objectives: **Students/children aged 10-19 from partner schools to participate in street games aimed at raising awareness about nature and environmental conservation; **Development of at least 10 new alternative games that highlight the beauty of nature and that will be implemented in partner schools by the end of the project; **At least 5% of teachers from partner schools to participate in training sessions focused on improving children's communication and collaboration skills through games and activities; **Partner schools to implement good practices to instill awareness of spending time in nature through games in which children are actively involved, with a positive attitude towards the environment. **Students from all schools involved in the project to develop creative solutions to environmental problems through outdoor games, with a minimum of 80% of the solutions being considered viable and effective. **90% of children who participate in the outdoor activities proposed by the project and who feel motivated, satisfied, spend time outdoors and appreciate nature. **At least 90% of students who participate in the project will recognize and appreciate the cultural diversity of traditional games from different countries.
The needs that underpinned the project were: ** Research and surveys conducted at the level of the institutions involved showed that ecological education is insufficiently integrated into educational activity, and parents are often indifferent to these aspects, so the need for educational activities about ecology in schools was real; ** The need for students to spend more and more time outdoors and less time on electronic devices; ** The need to reconnect with nature through traditional games; ** The need to use street games as an educational method to bring multiple benefits: social, physical and ecological development, creating a pleasant and participatory environment for learning; ** The need for the active involvement of students and teachers in the ecological awareness process and for teachers to receive support and training to integrate these topics into educational activity; ** The need for international collaboration and exchange of good practices; **The need to be aware that environmental problems are global, and that international collaboration between students should provide opportunities to learn from shared experiences, promote cultural diversity, and find solutions through joint activities.
