    In order to be serious about environmental and climate protection, you have to critically question your personal behaviour and think outside the box. Our Erasmus+ project accesses the dealing with natural recourses, reflects our behaviour and makes Europe a little greener. The most important aim of our project is that the students develop their environmental and climate awareness interdisciplinarily as well as holistically. Moreover we want to encourage the young learners to improve their social commitment and strengthen the European solidarity by taking part in our project’s activities. The European Union set the aim to be the first climate neutral continent by 2050 in order to improve people’s quality of life through cleaner air and water, better health and a thriving natural word. Together with our partners from Hungary (Debrecen) and Estiona (Voru) we would like to contribute to this ambitious aim. We take action by reducing the amount of waste both at school and at home, by critically questioning our consumer behaviour and by minimising the consumption of water and electricity.We have planned to do four mobilities over the project’s time. This will include a short-term job shadowing activity for teachers. We will enable 10 students at the age of 12 to 15 and 2-3 teachers to take part in each of the mobilities. Needless to mention, we would like to give the chance for everyone to participate by including students with special needs. During the project we would like to do excursions to national parks, upcycling challenges and workshops on topics such as waste reduction, consumer behaviour as well as school gardening. Through education young people to become “climate detectives” we aim to elaborate guidance on a local level that can be transformed to a global level. With innovative ideas for dealing with natural recourses and reusing packaging we will be able to accomplish a change of thinking not only by the students, but also by their parents. Due to our project, we will strengthen the European community and root the European idea in the participating schools. Today’s school prepares the young learners for tomorrow’s requirements. That is why it is important to us, that we consider the development of the labour market towards sustainable jobs, by forming the students’ key competences in that matter with our project.For the long-term we make sure that older students will pass on the project’s activities to younger students. The eTwinning website, which will be used as a communication tool between the students during the project, enables the digital exchange between the schools’ participants. Thus, the students will be able to continue the communication between them, refine the European climate protection and ensure the cohesion of the European citizens.

    The difficulties the teachers face in the schools with the recognition of students' competences and the ways they use them to study and achieve educational success, the issue of routine and decrease in motivation among teachers and students inspired teachers tostart international cooperaton. We decided to work out the tools and strategies to change the mind-set of teachers by real exchange of ideas and research while meeting to find methods and tools that could be used and modified to support the students in primary level to learn successfully by use of Key Competences and Multiple Intelligences as the foundation to efficient and effective learning. By international cooperation the organizations experienced the work as the emotions and the markers of memory. We aimed at promoting the aquisition of skills and competences as the MI recognition is the tool to more efficient organization of teaching and learning process and aquisition of knowledge by students. We observed that low motivation among students to study and get knowledge affects the teachers attitudes and their image among society. We managed to 1/modify the school curricula on the methods and tools that involve MI and Key Competence development by selecting the most relevant ideas to eliminate routine actions and create typical tasks in untypical ways,Transnational modification of the curricula gave us a chance to exchange experience, knowledge about educational systems and the teaching problems other partners face and cope with, share know-how. 2/ transnational character of project with students participants helped us to create tools that trigger courage to actions, develop strengths both teachers and students. 2/enrich the educational offer of the institutions by project activities, students' exchange, new methods of teaching. 3/create international cooperation by e-mails, blogs, meetings .The experience showed that these type of relationship is a long lasting one involving all families 4/increase the team-work skills both among students and the teachers- the students had to work in teams in their countries and during the visits in information search, realizing the tasks and evaluating in blog. They had to use communication competence, language and interpersonal skills. The teachers had a chance to work in an international environment, share experience and develop and practice language skills. This integrated the teachers. 5/all schools had number of students with various deficits and difficulties so involving them in the project tasks motivated them and gave them feeling that their skills and knowledge were also important and valuable. 6/select and process methods and tools to realize the tasks in international environment with various expertise. There were 4 partners in the project. The number of people directly involved in the project activities was about 730 and indirectly all school communities, youtube users, local governments, e-twinning users and facebook users.Activities and results: -observing teachers work, -research on MI and Key Competences level, -composing lesson plans, tests, -creating working teams of teachers with leaders- gaining competence- communication, organizational and EU project management competence, -local projects and events that involved communities and other partcipants -workshops for teachers on Key competence,Coaching, Maths experiences,Faciitation as a method of work with studnets,-Organisation of Dissemination Conferences in Poland, Hungary -the teachers visited real schools and participated in classes -juxtapositioning the working styles, -the creation of common database eg.GoogleDrive - we provided the materials and used them, The results and influence of the project:-development of professional attitde of teachers-development of language skills supported by language course with certificates,-increase of direct teachers' skills ICT, use of IT tools durng lessons, developing variuos competences when one subject, -increase in students' motivation to learn foreign language, -promotion of active ways of teaching and learning,-participation in educational events-organising conferences, attendig tranings on new methods of teaching, -promotion of institutions in local and international market, -modification of curricula and implementing research in daily work of a teacher, familiarising the parents with the results and supporting students with handful tools to learn effectively, -active role of students in teaching process, -increase of motivation to learn foreign language and competence among teachers , -big base of teaching methods and tools-booklets, CDs, brochures, films, presentations, worksheets,. -the communities open to foreigners and European culturesLong-term benefits:Practcal knowledge for the teachers, variety of tools and methods adjusted to the students needs, broad horizons and experience of teachers.
