    The project aims to be an educational approach that aims to stimulate students to respect nature and raise awareness among their peers and family members to raise awareness of the attitudes towards sustainability of the planet. Students will investigate the major local and global environmental problems and possible mitigation measures. The intention is to involve the school community with a commitment of ecological measures that we can all do daily (small gestures can make great changes). It is also intended to be involved with Environmental Associations that help to better understand global issues and what is being done at European level to combat climate change. Thus, at the end of the project, we intend to create more friendly and proactive students of the environment.
