Preschool teachers and children are at the centre of the Green Portfolio project. Our goal is to provide preschool children with opportunities to learn about sustainability in an international context through bilingual education and collaboration with peers from another country. For our newcomer partners, we aim to show how they can use international activities like mobility, co-creation, and eTwinning to achieve their curricular goals.

Partners will co-create 10 bilingual sustainability workshops for children, which will serve as a consistent annual educational tool. The project includes a joint learning experience in Spain, job shadowing in Germany, and participation in the Erasmus+ Incubator in Slovenia. The workshops will be piloted in 2 countries, engaging around75 children, who will share their results via international videocalls. The dissemination will involve at least 400 kindergarten educators from various countries.

The results include: - Learning material in multilingual German-Spanish-Catalan combinations, plus an English version only for broader use; - Portfolios from children’s workshop participation and video calls; - Enhanced green skills education for both teachers and children. All partners will enhance their skills for international work. Children will benefit from digital collaboration with peers in another country, enabling them to compare nature and society across two nations.
