"Project summary:Changing habits - changing the world! -Erasmus+ project rose out of the need to inspire young people to make positive environmental changes. Our project supported one of the United Nations Global Goals - Fixing climate change. According to the carried surveys in six partner schools the students had low interest in environmental issues, for example, they thought that taking care of the environment would not really be of significance to them and their future. This project was initiated because in different partner schools young people had different experience and habits of taking care of the environment, recycling, too big food and energy consumption. The results of the surveys showed that it was necessary to educate students and their families about the importance of a clean, healthy environment and to become that generation who would change the world by changing their everyday habits. In Changing habits - changing the world! - six project schools from different parts of Europe were working together towards a common goal. Schools were chosen from southern, northern, eastern and western parts of Europe in order to get a good understanding and overview of education and to enjoy interesting and effective cooperation as partner schools. Also, different skills and expertise was brought into the project. The target groups of the project were the whole school communities (students, teachers, other members and their families). Our target groups were young people, so they could learn long lasting habits in their everyday life. As we carried out this project transnationally, we wanted to compare the environmental issues in different countries and to learn from each other, share experience and good practices. The main aim of the project was to raise participants’ environmental awareness, understanding and knowledge of environmental protection through practical environmental activities. Also, this project aimed to promote the protection and conservation of the environment while learning in international groups. The planned activities supported the personal development of students and raised their environmental awareness through practical activities. Working together within international groups of students and teachers provided the students with the opportunity to learn directly from each other about how to improve their local communities. The activities forced the participants to think about the environmental issues from a global perspective. As a result, this made young people to take a more active, positive and responsible role in the society. During two years we focused on different activities: ecological events and campaigns at school, working as environmental friendly agents, sharing environmental friendly recipes, planning walking tours and planting a tree on the schoolyard. The project also covered other aspects of ecological education: reducing food waste, energy waste, solving global environmental problems, tending to stop global warming. In the meanwhile the public attitude in climate change problems developed enormously on a global level. Demonstrations against climate change were organized throughout the world by mainly young people. Whole world got to know the Swedish girl Greta Thunberg who was invited in a UN conference to give a speech about climate change. This has certainly affected the way of thinking for our students. Between LTT-meetings, we planned a lot of virtual activities. Participants made and shared presentations, wrote blogs and reports on the project website, made videos and took photos. Teachers and students used Whatsapp, Google tools and email for keeping contact virtually, the students used also Snapchat to some extent. With parents and teachers the most important social media was Whatsapp and email. During the project we had four LTT-meetings: project workshops on environmentally friendly pop up -restaurant, green gardens, eco-friendly shop at school, planting vegetables and herbs on the roofgarden and charging batteries by cycling. We engaged in conversation with the local companies working in the environmental sector. Learning activities of our project were based on ""learning by doing"" and ‘’cooperating internationally, acting locally"". When participants gained international practical experience through different environmental activities, they acquired new skills, respect towards otherness, team spirit, independence and self-confidence."
