By implementing this project, we aimed to raise awareness among students, teachers, school staff and families about climate change and to ensure that they understand the causes and effects of climate change. We ensured that our students acquired environmentally friendly consumer habits, became aware of their individual responsibilities against climate change, and participated in efforts to protect the planet by using creative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We also helped them learn about environmentally friendly technologies, develop basic skills such as English and information technologies, increase their social interaction skills and gain entrepreneurial spirit. We asked our teachers to create a continuous learning process by integrating climate change into the curriculum, learn different teaching methods and apply them in their lessons, and strengthen their language skills and European identity by reducing prejudices against European cultures. At the school level, we increased the quality of education by making them more open to Erasmus+ projects, strengthening cooperation and communication among staff, and sharing good practices.

Teachers strengthened their professional development by learning new methods to integrate climate change into their lessons. Thanks to intercultural interaction, students and teachers developed European identity and cultural understanding by getting to know different cultures. In addition, environmentally friendly habits such as water and energy saving were ensured with the participation of the local community during the project activities. The knowledge and experiences gained throughout the project were integrated into school curricula, ensuring that climate change and sustainability issues were permanently included in the education process. These elements strengthened the wide-ranging and long-term effects of the project.
