3) Development of the capacity of the 8 schools to
develop an eco-civic behavior within students by
cooperating with the community and the exchange of
good and innovative practices.
In the project activities there were directly involved:
 students with ages between 10-19 who developed their
competencies in identifying/investigating environmental
issues, in writing/implementing environmental projects
 teachers opened towards an inter-institutional and
international collaborative culture, interested in their
own environmental professional development at
European level
 management teams of the 8 schools
A teacher training curriculum was designed on
environmental issues, which was tested at partnership level
and implemented in the eight schools. Teachers who
benefitted from joint training activities (on environmental
issues and ICT) became training/information providers in
their originating schools.
Participant meetings (teachers and students) with local
partners involved in environment protection took place in
order to identify, investigate local environmental problems.
Teachers jointly elaborated projects for formal curriculum
integrated activities in different subjects, non-formal
activities which were tested at school level, adapted and
improved. Students, supported by teachers, designed/
implemented school/local community environmental
projects to solve the identified environmental problems.
