"The partners, in project"" Designed Intervention of Enviromentally Collaborative Initiatives"", Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Poland and Hungary met on the eTwinning platform.Some of them have already collaborated in previous eTwinning and Erasmus+ initiatives and have shared the same concerns regarding equity and inclusion in education: in last years a change in the learning process of young people has taken place: they show certain insicurities and difficulties in attention and concentration; motivation to learn is often low; technologies speed up the world; societies are increansigly complicated since the migration flows make the social environment multicultural, multilingual and multireligious. Children's social skills are inadequate. There are too many disparities in learning outcomes and students ofthen abandon school at very young age. Considering this background and the need to face the new educational challenges teachers need to widen their professional profiles and model them in a European dimension. The partner schools, despite their differences in geographical situations and number of pupils, share a similar background and they need to face the same educational challenges. They believe that through a European collaboration based on the exchange of experiences, skills, innovative methodologies and good practices between teachers, students and school communities, the following objectives can be achieved:The Erasmus+ project aims at developing two main types of goals. Short term goals focusing on developing new knowledge, skills and competences in students related to the topics of environment protection, climate change, eco-friendly and sustainable behaviours, socialization, European Citizenship and English language.Long term objectives: streghten teachers profiles; improve collaboration with stakeholders; improve the quality of educational offer; promote inclusion; motivate learning and prevent early school leaving; envision new job profiles.Each school contributes to the project with it's own expertise: Italian school is experienced in Inclusion and innovative inclusive methodologies such as: Universal Design for Learning, Cooperative learning, Flipped classroom ; the Spanish school is experienced in Project based learning, the coordinator is an eTwinning ambassador; the Portuguese school is experienced in bilingual teaching and especially CLIL methodology; the Hungarian school is exeperienced in Environment subjects teaching and is an awarded Eco-school;Greek school is engaged in environment protection and is experienced in teaching Literacy in ICT environments; Polish school is experienced in stimulating learning activities such as Coding and Robotics. Three are eTwinning schoolsThe topic of the environment is a very current, concrete and global topic in which young people have a great interest and are eager to be active and make their own contribution to save the planet. The project involves them in practical activities that will allow them to ""learn by doing"". Through the activities, pupils will have to think about their responsibilities and consequences of their life styles on the environment. They will compare the results with European partners and will give the problem a European dimension. Students will work in teams in cooperation not competition. The cooperation with partners in a multicultural environment will improve European sense of belonging and will help to reduce prejudices. They will become more active citizens both as protectors of the environment and as protectors of democracy.Teachers will collaborate to exchange their experiences, will practice peer training, each school will share their competences with partner teachers.They will strengthen their professional profiles achieving competences of more motivating and inclusive teaching methodologies.Results: Logo project; Collection of Hystograms and Pie Charts; Eco Magazine: Power Point on Climate Change; Guide of European Environmental Organizations; Eu Booklet of Green Behaviors; Project Website; Journal of students experiences.We have planned to use the eTwinning for preparation, implementation and follow up of project: https://twinspace.etwinning.net/102826/home title ""Young Ecologist in action"".Methodologies based on inclusion, cooperation and comparison will improve the quality of the educational offer. It will hopefully reduce deparities in learning outcomes and will reduce early school leaving.The professional development of teachers, may have further impact on their employment or motivativation to pursue further education and training.Awareness on issues of environment and protection of the planet will have an impact on life quality as well as on the life of future generations.Multicultural learning environments will encourage a European sense of belonging that will help to prevent prejudices, stereotypes and the resurgence of anti-European feelings and will promote European democracy"
