The project "ECO not EHO" puts environmental awareness and protection as a concrete initiative in the hands of students. Through the cooperation of schools, we wanted to develop awareness among students about the importance of environmental protection and dealing with climate change, to increase their knowledge in the field of green techniques, to develop key competencies such as teamwork, creativity, innovation and responsibility. We wanted the planned activities enable students to proactively change everyday behavior in their schools and their communities. By working together, schools and their participants will be able to transfer theoretical ideas into practice and inspire a whole generation to become environmental ambassadors. In addition to developing their knowledge and skills in the field of environmental protection and climate change, the goals of the project are aimed at supporting teachers and school leaders in the implementation of new methods and approaches in the teaching process.
