The aim of our project was to educate students from partner countries to apply ecological principles and behaviors according to the 3R paradigm (reducing, reusing and recycling), for a sustainable development, in accordance with European priorities supported by Erasmus+ projects. The objectives of the project were: O1. The acquisition of conscious civic attitudes about the importance of climate change and sustainable environmental development by 48 students by applying the 3R paradigm until August 31, 2023; O2. Development of scientific and technical knowledge and skills for quality ecological education in sustainable environmental protection to at least 80% of direct and indirect beneficiaries by the end of the project; O3. Personal development, self-esteem, critical thinking, creativity, as well as interdisciplinary cooperation by 48 students until August 31, 2023. O4. Learning "coexistence" by cultivating communication skills, as well as respect for the values ​​and cultural characteristics of other partners, by 48 students and 12 teachers until August 31, 2023.
