The project coordinator of the 24 months’ project “Understand the ecology, save the balance of nature” is Czech, partners are Poland, Spain, Romania and Turkey. Environmental corruption, the growth of population, the energy inflation and the trends in economical recession show that the world of future needs more and better ecologically literate citizens who can design and create real sustainable ststems. In the near future, people’s survival will be connected to our degree of ecological literacy, understanding the basic principles of ecology and also our real will to live in line with respecting the natural world. However, many of today’s education practices are not effective enough to foster and improve students’ environmental literacy. Eco-literacy should be an important part of all countries education systemsfrom the early age settings, all way up though primary school and secondary schools to further education in colleges and universities so that it would be able to transform children and adults into ecologically literate citizens able to respect and preserver the environment for the generations to come. Our objectives are:- to make ecological literacy identity the key to people’s better behaviour and attitudes, not only at school, but also withintheir family life and the wider communities;- to have a positive effect on students as a resutl of participating in environmental activities and attending to eventslocally and with a national and international impact;- to transform our students (decision makers of tomorrow) to acquire more knowledge and skills so thet they will be able to have the suitable attitude to handle the environmental and ecological problems of local and global sources. - to improve students’ critical thinking skills, problem solving, communication in foreign language as well as their Information and Communication Technology(ICT)skills;- to help students understand the need for all of us to reduce our own and other people’s ecological footprints; - to introduce ecological literacy into our schools’ curriculum as a direct result of our “Understand the ecology, save the balance of nature” project;- to motivate teachers to develop innovative pedagogical methodologies, as well as scientific, social and crosscurricular approaches to tackle the main environmental issues in order to incease the quality of our schools;- to share information withsimilar international partnerships as well as to develop local projects with stakeholders so that we will be able to make ecoliteracy a critical skill for all citizens to do their best to improve the environment around them. Each LTTA will have the participation of 5 students (12-14-year-olds) and 2 teachers from each partner school. The total number of participants will be 140 during in the two years of the project. Participants will actively be involved in some activities such as life cycle of some livings, designing terrarium, using layer models, designing sustainable city models, visiting recycling centre, making clothes by using recycled materials, making musical instruments with recycled materials, creating new paper by recycling old newspapers, preparing compost, ecological footprint game, clean-up activities with local communities, ecological camp, making interactive posters, virtual meetings and attending lessons. The project activities will be organised and run according to the 24 months’ work plan and the collaborative work methodology that will be implemented with the support of an effective communication sytem fostering real cooperation among all project partners and stakeholders. The expected results are: Improved ecological literacy and students’ understanding of sustainable life practices and their effects on economy, equality and environment. Project activities will support students’ intelligence level and creative problem solving.Furthermore students’ ecological literacy and global awareness and environmental responsibility will prepare them to be innovative and inspiring leaders in order to make positive changes at chool, in their communities and be keep their new sustainable lifestyles. The will be promising ecological leaders who will lead others by their own personal example.Teachers will develop their professional profiles as a result of sharing good practices, mutual professional knowledge exchange and common activities; effort to produce different techniques and methods and share their experiences with their peerslocal, national and international level through teachers networks and well as via all the project dissemination tools.We strongly believe that allparticipants will try to aquire knowledge of ecological literacy so that they can do their best make ecological footprints smaller, and increase their greenprint. They will develop ICT skills, foreign language skills by the way of actively participating in the transnational project activities and communicating in real life contexts.Students w
