    "The main objective of the Let'S Move project was to promote sustainable, healthy and safe mobility in primary schools participating in the project. Likewise, other objectives pursued by the project were to change the perception of the school community about transport in the city, promoting changes in daily transportation habits to schools, improving the quality of life of students, through improvement of their health, safety and social relations, encourage the use of foreign languages and the use of ICT in schools through the eTwinning platform and integrate project activities in the different subjects of the curriculum.In the Let'S Move project, initially 15 schools participated, with a total of 6,463 students from Spain, France, Poland and Croatia. As a result of the withdrawal of the French partner by judicial liquidation in May 2017, three French schools withdrew from the project, leaving only one French school in the last year of the project. Thus, the project was completed with the participation of 12 educational centers and 5,127 students. If we take into account the entire educational community (students, teachers, fathers and mothers) and the town halls (political authorities, municipal technicians and police) the project has involved more than 15,000 peopleIn this way we can conclude that the benefits and impacts achieved during the project on the participants and the organizations involved have been:-Increase of sustainable trips to school by around 15% by changing travel by car to trips on foot and by bicycle. Indirect increase of the rest of the daily trips in sustainable mode.-Reduction of transport energy consumption to school by around 15%.-Reduction of the amount of CO2 emissions due to school trips by around 15%.-Increase the air quality of the cities involved.-Help fight against childhood obesity and sedentary life. Children health improvement by exercising daily at around 15%.-Change the perception of people about the autonomy of children, and increase awareness about walking and cycling as modes of transport.-Increase in the road safety of the city, especially in the school environment, reducing the risk of accidents and increasing the perception of safety of citizens.-Increased security at the entrance of the school, reducing the situations of danger.-Introduction of long-term measures in the urban design of the city that favor sustainable displacements.-Revitalization of urban space.-Establish a common strategy between transportation and health related to the introduction of physical activities in the daily routine.-Education in health, sustainability and road safety. Awareness has been raised about walking and cycling as a means of transport in the cities of the European Union, especially when going to schools.-Increase in the level of digital competence in schools, through activities and the etwinning platform.-Increase of foreign language skills of students, translation of some documents in English.-Improve the communication skills of students.-Increase the level of geometry, geography and map reading in the students' competences.-Active participation of students in society.- Greater understanding and capacity to respond to social, linguistic and cultural diversity.-Replication of activities, campaigns and good practices on sustainable mobility and healthy habits in other schools (the Let'S Move Project has been implemented in 7 more schools in Sueca and 9 schools in Algemesí (Spain).For achieving these objectives, the following activities will be carried out during the project:-Management activities (project partners meetings, Advisory Committees meetings in each region).-Design and implementation of 45 school safety routes.-Implementation of security measures such as painting pedestrian crossings, increasing the visibility of crossings to increase the safety of school routes. Reduction of architectural barriers in the cities.- Campaigns, games and activities to promote healthy, safe and sustainable mobility.- Implementation of e-Walking bus using new technologies.- E-Twinning activities connecting the participant schools from different countries.- Dissemination activities for promoting the project and its replicability in other schools across EU countries.-Production of a ""Methodological Guide on Health, Safety and Sustainable Mobility in School Centers"" in Spanish, English, French, Croatian and Polish, with the purpose of helping to implement this type of projects in other schools and municipalities.-Conference ""Challenges for a healthy, safe and sustainable mobility in the schools"" in which around 100 people participated."

    "The major environmental challenges require that each citizen develops an ability to understand the issues that must be addressed and to seek and implement solutions. Each person should be able to (re)find a power to act, at his or her own level. This is the whole point of developing energy education projects for children.A school is an ecosystem that brings together in the same place various actors with different missions: students, teachers, educators, administrative staff, technical staff, parents, companies involved in the maintenance and operation of technical equipment... It is often difficult to address the issue of energy because frequently, it is considered to be complicated and restrictive. Heating, lighting, water consumption, waste... are all energy-related topics that deserve to be discussed with young people as part of energy education projects in and outside school. Energy education aims to enable young people to:- acquire knowledge about energy (sources, production, consumption...).- understand the impact of our lifestyles, particularly in terms of energy consumption on our immediate and distant environment.- have the appropriate tools in order to initiate changes in their behaviour and to encourage them to develop eco-citizen attitudes.Energy Management schools has made it possible to develop an energy education program based on a participatory approach for educational institutions (schools, colleges) and recreation centres. The idea is to propose a challenge: the thrifty school"", bringing together all the actors of an establishment around the same objective of energy control. 6 organizations from 5 countries (Belgium, Croatia, Spain, France and Sweden) cooperated in this project. About 500 participants, primary school, college or recreation centre students (8-14 years old) and adults from these same establishments (teachers, directors, technical staff, managers), collectivity agents, but also parents and external stakeholders (associations, mediators, etc.) were involved.A one-year study phase made it possible to create the tools, which were then tested in 1 or 2 establishments per country (Croatia, Spain, France, Sweden) during an experimental phase. A third year was devoted to the dissemination of this energy education system through a competition, the ""economical/ thrifty school"" challenge. 4 types of productions were carried out:- the ""Energy Saving Toolbox"",- ""learning paths"" tested in schools or recreation centres, - a study report resulting from research work during the experiment. It contains recommendations for the animation of the system within the framework of the ""thrifty/ economical school"" challenge. The expected results of this energy education programm are: the reduction of energy consumption in the 3 to 5 schools per country participating in the competition. The impacts envisaged in the short term are the development of knowledge and skills of students and school staff in energy and project management. Spreading the programme beyond the project partners can, in the long term, contribute to strengthening and enriching existing energy education programmes and extending them to other institutions with the support of regions or States"

    PROSPERITY will: 1. Produce a culture shift in terms of environment for SUMPs in member states and in the organisational culture of transport planning in city authorities. 2. Get ministries and national agencies to play a national leading role on SUMPs, as in many member states these are the organisations from which cities take their main direction; where ministries are already playing this role, to support and strengthen their approach. 3. To provide mechanisms and tools for Ministries to take this lead role. 4. Analyse clearly the problems of (lack of) take-up of SUMPs – to understand from cities themselves why they are not taken up and then to help cities to address these barriers. 5. Extend the existing 25-county EU-SUMP-network with at least two more countries 6. Get more cities to take up effective high quality SUMPs – through cities’ involvement in the project and indirectly through more cities hearing about SUMPs in their country. 7. Ensure that these SUMPs contain and will lead to implementation of a broad range of innovative sustainable transport measures. 8. Build cities’ capacity to develop and implement SUMPs that genuinely reflect the spirit of the EU SUMP Guidelines, rather than being mandatory documents to fulfil a requirement linked to major transport infrastructure. 9. Deliver a measurable impact. The core concept of PROSPERITY is bringing ministries into the project, which will significantly enhance the visibility of the project at the national level and therefore increase numbers of cities active on SUMPs. Thus PROSPERITY will ensure that more cities commit to SUMPs that are in line with the EU SUMP Guidelines and that include a broad range of innovative measures. This will generate a high leverage factor, especially in regions and cities where take up is so far low and the impacts from transport are severe – therefore the majority of PROSPERITY activities is in such regions and cities - thus in southern, central-eastern and eastern Europe.
