Your future is in your hand

<< Background >>The major aim of the project was to raise awareness towards sustainability. We wished to achieve our aim by doing various activities and creating products that could inspire school and local communities to lead a greener lifestyle. Although we put special emphasis on practical activities during the project, we studied the most important theoretical principles of our topic so that participants could understand what and why they should make changes in their lives to make it greener. With our project we wanted to transform our school communities more sustainable. We wanted to pay much more attention to the issues of climate change and sustainability in our curriculums. We wanted that our students understand that their personal choices also have an effect on the climate and also that small choices matter. We all thought we needed to improve further. With the help of the project, we shared our good practices and gained new experiences regarding the topic.<< Objectives >>We wanted to give opportunities for the students from different parts of Europe to work together under the theme how to lead a greener lifestyle. We visited endangered places to increase motivation to a more sustainable life. While working on the project, we shared good practices with each other, improved various skills of the participants and made friends that could serve as a basis for other future corporations. << Implementation >>We visited relevant places (farms, museums), and organized various workshops to deepen the knowledge students gain.
