By implementing this project, we aimed to -address the academic and behavioral challenges our students faced post-Covid-19, such as difficulty focusing, procrastination, and increased anxiety. Our primary goal was to promote common values, civic engagement, and emotional intelligence. We sought to help students understand and practice these values, develop entrepreneurial skills, and improve their emotional well-being - foster environmental awareness and action in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development -develop students' green skills through values education, community engagement, and environmental education and fight against climate change, inspiring our entire school community -enhance our students' digital skills and 21st-century competences, preparing them for success in school, work, and life while striving for a sustainable planet, to encourage creative and responsible thinking about global sustainability -help students become more focused and responsible, support European citizenship, and share best practices locally By integrating the common values, civic engagement and environmental sustainability issues, we aimed at meeting the needs of the participating organisations' teachers, students and stakeholders

This project was based on a needs analysis of our partner institutions. We aimed to -reduce the % of teachers who observed a loss of motivation and concentration in students from 75% to 40%. Post-project surveys indicated 100% of teachers noticed positive changes in student motivation and concentration -reduce the % of teachers who observed negative behavioral changes in students from 80% to 50%, with 80% reporting positive changes post-project - increase the % of teachers who felt equipped to promote entrepreneurial skills and environmental sustainability from 29% to 80%, achieving this target -decrease the % of students who felt unmotivated to study from 80% to 30%, resulting in an impressive 8.2% post-project -decrease the %of students lacking knowledge on sustaining the planet from 70% to 20%. Post-project, 100% of students reported having sufficient knowledge. We evaluated each activity, culminating in an evaluation report shared with all partners. This report confirmed that the project met all its objectives and enhanced the European dimension of the participating organizations. The project provided a sustainable vision to inspire students to meet the European Union's targets for skills, competences, values, and profiles.
