"<< Background >>Climate change (CC) is affecting every country, quality of our life and it will continue to do so, unless we try to educateourselves and our children to make changes in our lives that will impact the environment less. Knowledge on CC in formaleducation helps the development of sense of responsibility through creation of informed awareness. Such awareness isnecessary to guide students’ behaviour towards concerted ameliorative actions (McMillan et al., 2004; Kuhlemeier et al.,1999; O'connor et al., 1999). Moreover, the school students should be motivated towards an environment-friendly lifestyleby inculcating informed awareness in them so that they can influence adoption of better climate policy by choosing proenvironmentleadership (Boyes et al., 1993). Environmental education is very fragmented in EU schools, lacking a holisticapproach. Partners decided to collect existing good practices used in schools, youth, training organizations and create ancurriculum for environmental interdisciplinary learning with holistic approach for all levels of education<< Objectives >>ECOSTREAM project is an attempt to summarize the available experience in the European countries, the experience ofteachers in the use of elements of social simulation as an efficient environment protection pedagogy offering an overviewof the positive effects of learning by doing. The objectives of the project are: *to collect and share good practices amongproject partners, *to increase professional development of teachers *to collect ideas and create a Curriculum forenvironmental interdisciplinary learning based on climate change simulation games and follow up activities for the projectresult. *to develop and reinforce EU networks for sustainable environment among teachers *to enrich the network forsustainable environment and awareness raising on CC effects among schools, education providers.<< Implementation >>Partners will collect good practices examples during all project implementation, create a Curriculum for environmentalinterdisciplinary learning based on climate change simulation games and follow up activities for the project result. During2 short term joint staff trainings partners will share their experience in using Climate change and environmental protectiongames and methods for pupils training. 2nd LTT will be dedicated to Verification and evaluation interdisciplinary lessonplans<< Results >>The project will produce tangible and intangible results: Intangible results (project outputs): - new competencies forteachers in the partners' organisations; - exchange of experience and good practices among teachers at internationallevel; - increased intercultural competences for the staff and learners; - lifelong learning network of partners and otherstakeholders involved in the project at local, national and European level; It will be represented by tightened cooperationof different communities in relation to issues of youth education.
