Our project “Eco-Friendly By Europe” arose from the shared need of a group of centers from different European countries to generate in students a European social conscience with respect to taking care of the environment. As such, we propose to develop a common strategy on a European level, starting off from the hypothesis of checking if it’s possible to generate a social conscience with respect to taking care of the environment, researching and comparing different approaches from the respective centers related to the subject, as well as sharing a common workplan that helps to preserve European biodiversity. Our principal objectives are to bring awareness to the students of the challenges of bringing sustainable development to the world, acquire experiences and basic abilities in the use of ICT tools, improve language abilities in a foreign language for both the students and the teachers, develop the acquisition of these 21st century competencies in the students, learn best practices from other school organizations that enrich the practical experience of each school center, and drive the development of awareness for European citizens. In order to achieve such objectives, schools from Croatia, Italy, Greece, Portugal and two Spanish centers will participate together combining mobilities of the participating organizations with research and reinforcement activities from the learnings in each of the chosen countries making use of the eTwinning platform both before and after the activity, thereby involving a larger number of students and teachers on a local level and encouraging group work. Four students and three teachers from each school center will participate in each of the planned mobilities, chosen based on criteria previously shared with the educational community, and will have a significant role in the different activities that are planned, both in the pedagogical and cultural preparation of the mobility as well as in developing the activities on a local level, and the diffusion of the learnings and the created output. The results, impact and benefits hoped for from this project are a major opening for the European Union. Students will improve their capacity to work in teams, observe and recognize the steps to follow to do research, identify problems and find solutions, strengthen their communication abilities and their cultural conscience on a European level. Professors will increase their knowledge in didactic methodologies and teaching materials, improve their knowledge of another language (English), and at the same time become more familiar with best practices from other centers that will permit them professional enrichment, among other benefits. At the same time, it is hoped to achieve an increase in the involvement of families in the activities of the center and a better opening of the center to other centers in the area, sharing their experiences. To do so, the project will be evaluated regularly via questionnaires to each of the involved participants in such a way that we have qualitative and quantitative information about the degree of achievement of the objectives and will carry out a diffusion plan directed at the education community via meetings with the different sectors in which they will provide information about the projects and the different actions that they will develop and which will subsequently increase on a local, national and European level via the web page of the project, social media, press releases, and informational brochures.

"The ""FABULA C-Plus: Circular Economy applied to FABULA Project Framework"" project, through interactive, gamified and laboratory teaching delivery, develops consciousness and knowledge in students of classes IV and/or V (9-11 years of age) of Primary Schools in Italy, Spain and Greece and an ability to adopt behaviours oriented to the circular economy, experimenting and producing new creative and inventive ideas for an early entrepreneurial vision in the field of reuse and recycling of resources and materials.The project focuses on the educational field, valorising the Primary School as a fundamental actor to promote the culture of sustainability, environmental sensitivity together with a proactive and enterprising way of thinking and acting, to give waste a ""second life"" transforming it into something artistically and entrepreneurially new.In the EU, 15 tons of materials per person are used every year, while every citizen generates over 4.5 tons of waste per year, half of which is disposed of in landfills. It is clear that the linear economy is no longer a viable option.The circularity rate in Italy is only 17.1%, in 5th place in the EU, just before Spain (8.2%). Last is Greece 1.3%. (Eurostat 2019)Measures such as the best environmentally friendly design, the prevention and reuse of waste can generate the EU savings of up to €604 billion (8% of annual turnover), reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 4 %.Increasing resource productivity by 30% by 2030 could increase GDP by almost 1% and create over 2 million jobs. The project foresees:1) the consolidation of an international multi-player network for the adaptation of education programs to the current and future needs of society and the labor market in the emerging sector of the circular economy2) the creation of Open Educational Resources in the form of virtual tours, consisting of 360° images, intuitively navigable from all devices, to allow students to immersively and interactively visit some locations that are symbols of their daily lives (home, park, school) to accompany them in a precocious cultural leap to face the challenge of the circular model with awareness. In support of the OER, in the different partnership languages we will also produce:a) Teachers' handbook containing the guidelines useful to perform activities in the classroom better, providing teachers with technical and didactic support to guide students in the use of virtual toursb) the Student's Handbook to allow students to learn about the learning course and to be guided in the use of the virtual tour stops.3) the creation of the CIRCLE Game: Circular Learning Evaluation Game to train the target skills and evaluate the achievement of the Learning Outcomes that respond to the training objectives programmed by the virtual tours, in a playful-didactic learning context4) the design of the Methodological Manual of the CiCLE - Circular Creativity Labs for Entrepreneurship, to allow teachers to hold educational workshops designed to develop students' creativity, inventiveness and entrepreneurship.5) the methodological alignment of a group of partnership teachers through transnational mobility to be carried out at the Istituto Suor Orsola Benincasa di Napoli, on the ""CiCLE"" model, to hold the Circular Creativity Labs for Entrepreneurship, in the role of learning facilitators6) the testing, by the students of the partner schools involved, with the support of the teaching staff, of the OER, the further in-depth materials, the handbooks and the CIRCLE Game"
