International/EU/National policies related to climate change will not succeed if the change and the appropriate attitude is not initiated at the very base level of society - our children, which should become ecology-aware citizens.This process started at 45 schools all over Europe (Bulgaria, Slovenia, Turkey, Greece), where teachers were trained to introduce affordable ecology training in the existing curriculums (as part of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) or provided as extra-curricular activity). We have engaged 745 students/ youth to protect the climate and ensured that young people have the understanding that they are the power of change for sustainability that our world needs. We have engaged them in fun and action-oriented activities, which overall was covered under our organised socially responsible learning. Our project prepared 45 schools to become eco-schools and make students ecology resilient via a workable and affordable manner. We have involved also their parents and the community in Bulgaria (Plovdiv, Sofia, Zlatograd, Smolyan, Russe), Slovenia (Maribor and Ljubljana), Greece (Chios, Athens, Karditsa) and Turkey (Istanbul). Over the course of the project activities, these students gathered many ideas, concepts, and experiences. Target groups involved: - School teachers of primary education - School networks of primary education Beneficiaries: - Students of primary education - Student bodies of primary education- Parents and Parent's NGOs - Society as a whole The partnership included 7 partners from four countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Slovenia) and combines university in forestry (P1), two mainstream schools (P3 & P7), two ecology SMEs (P2 & P4), teachers' training provider (P6) and interactive 3D animation educational developer (P5). Main activities implemented during the project were: - Consolidated links with organisations that already work in the field of affordable ecology and bring them together so as to contribute to the training of the target groups outlined above. - Development of a body of user-led research with the target groups so that they drive the process of how affordable ecology should be developed. - Development of solid body of evidence identifying the needs and priorities of target community groups in relation to Affordable Ecology. - Development of ABC Guide towards small scale projects which can initiate a wide mosaic of activities. - Development from the grassroots the basis for a transitional local economy, where a mosaic of small scale affordable ecology in-house school projects were set up and interacted through a school/community network. Main outcomes (IOs) are: - IO1: Affordable ecology benchmarking methodology and tools for schools (produced from the Project management and implementation budget). - IO2: ABC guide and training material towards: - IO3: “Affordable ecology” portal with interactive teaching tools, as well as a tool to generate an own project idea, including a video library with “best tips towards affordable school ecology”. - IO4: Smart apps (for Android and iOS mobile devices) with 24 ecology related affordable best and good practices illustrated via a range of attractive 3D animated videos (also available via https://ecoschooltraining.eu/videos/) in following domains that aim at engaging youngsters: Excessive logging - cutting trees, deforestation, aforestation; Excessive mining - water pollution; Public transport - to stimulate its use; GMO Genetic modified food; No pesticides or use organic pesticides; Recycling - use of recyclable paper, how to recycle products; Excessive fishing; Waste of food; Water consumption - waste of water; Electricity consumption - waste of energy; Animal’s furs; Excessive car use - take bicycle; Air pollution; Plastic waste; Rise in water level; Global warming - as a result of human activities; Save water; Save electricity - paper waste; Water pollution; Ground pollution; Extinction of species.These videos were used as additional training material for further development of knowledge, skills and competences of teachers and students. They are covering the learning gap in terms of lack of provision of training materials in the field and can be used as a wider promotive material for youth and trainers.As additional material, the partners created also livebooks: https://ecoschooltraining.eu/livebook/mobile/index.htmlThe mobile app for Android access via: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raest.mobileThe mobile app for iOS access via: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/raest/id1547794349The outputs are available in English, Bulgarian, Greek, Slovenian and Turkish languages at https://ecoschooltraining.eu/intellectual-outputs/ Access to learning platform: https://ecoschooltraining.eu/elearning/
