    Climate change is having a negative impact on the environment, the economy and people's health and is now considered one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century.In the past few years, various initiatives have been launched to try to curb climate change. Prominent among them are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations (UN) since 2012. One of them, number 13, is entitled Climate Action.Educating citizens, especially children, and raising their awareness regarding the causes and consequences of climate change. Experts are increasingly stressing the importance of educating children on environmental matters and developing a culture of caring for the climate. For example a recent report by the University of Stanford looked at how this subject had benefited pupils from nursery school through to leaving secondary school, concluding that 83% of pupils improved their environmental behaviour.Students should not have to inherit our environmental problems and in order to keep their future bright, spreading awareness is imperative. Environmental education provides important opportunities for students to become engaged in realworld issues that transcend classroom walls. Activities in this project will be performed combining traditional approaches with modern ones, mingling theory with hands on experiences, challenging the students to acquire and process information, as well as to adapt it to real life situations.The main objectives of the project :-To develop life long learning skills or performance and techniques that will allow pupils to participate fully in the project.-To enable the children to realize that there are many different countries in Europe, each with their own cultures, traditions and attributes, but with a common interest in conservation.-To improve their confidence to take actions and believe they will make a positive difference;-To increase our students’ Respect for the biological, social and cultural diversity that is fundamental to our world;-To increase our students’ artistic creation with recycled materials,-To help our students to become environment–friendly citizens,-To increase our students’ motivations on nature activities,-To increase Caring for self, for others, for living things, and for our planet.-To improve ecological life philosophy on our students,-To expand ICT and language skills which they can use in a meaningful context.UK is the coordinator country and Turkey, Spain ,Bulgaria , Greece are partner countries and our target roup are students 13-18.The tangible results of the Project will be The website and *A PRACTICAL GUIDE ON : CLIMATE CHANGE & LIFE STYLES , its content which will be a result of 2 years activities .During the Project life cycle , there will be 3 transnational meetings , 3 virtual ones and 2 LTTs.By running the action groups, the students have learned a great deal about project management (planning, implementation, communication, follow-up), and gained experience about different channels of influencing social actions and political decision-making.They will improve their ability to think critically about problems, issues and situations and to shift thinking from how to makethings less unsustainable, to the kind of systems and lifestyles needed to achieve sustainability.They will be more confident to take actions and believe they will make a positive difference.They will respect for the biological, social and cultural diversity that is fundamental to our World and become more caring for self, for others, for living things, and for our planet.The Project will give teachers and youth workers the opportunity to work with other teachers in Europe, which will lead to the development of intercultural skills and the ability to overcome certain stereotypes and prejudices.They willhave their methods enriched and their horizons broadened &will increase their professional skills and will have the opportunity to share experiences and ideas with colleagues from other European countries.The schools in partnership will turn into a multicultural educational environment that contribute to the education in a national and international levels, widening our international connections makes getting first hand information about certain aspects of life of other EU nations possible for our teachers, students (and their parents).

    Over the last 2 years as a European Collective, we have actively been working to raise awareness of drugs and alcohol abuse across our partners both locally and nationally. We feel that we have been able to have really honest, opened and moving conversations with both young people and adults who work with young people to inspire change. We are really proud of the work that we have done over the last 24 months as a collective and have created a range of innovative outputs, all of which are a testament to our work and commitment to the project, much of which will be explained through this evaluation document. We understand that substance misuse is still very much an issue for young people across Europe, but we feel proud to have contributed to the growing conversation and awareness work that is happening, in addition to mobilising both young people and adults who work with young people to equip themselves with both the skills, knowledge, and confidence to discuss these topics on a national and international scale. We feel that we have been able to:1. Raises awareness of the reasons why people use substances, the types of substances that are misused, and the factors that can influence the effects of substances.2. Support both young people and adults who work with young people to study the harmful effects of substance misuse on individuals and society, as well as where to get support and advice on substance misuse. 3. Raise awareness of how stereotyping affects users and how media reporting affects people's perceptions of substance misuse in addition to understanding statistics nationally and locally about substance misuse.4. Encourage our team to consider the risk factors and protective factors for substance misuse, ways to protect individuals from the risks of substance misuse, and the barriers to making healthy choices.

    Sexual health is important throughout life. A healthy start gives children the capacity to develop a positive self image and self awareness and the potential to establish satisfying relationships. During adolescence and early adulthood, decisions about sexual activity, reproduction and parenthood become extremely important. The best possible choices can be made when information, education and supports are in place from the very beginning as a foundation to facilitate a healthier lifestyle.The development of sexuality and emergence of our sexual selves is something that happens to everyone. Some people wrongly regard disabled people as not developing sexually in the same way as non-disabled people. While it is true that puberty may begin a little later and that some disabilities can affect sexual performance, disability does not prevent sexual maturity, or remove sexual feelings, desires or curiosity.People with disabilities also have the right to access education – education is one of the condition for self-determination and empowerment. In order to create the conditions of access to accessible sexual health education, it is necessary not only to educate people with disabilities themselves, but furthermore their parents as well as professionals, caregivers, adult educators and teachers.This international project in cooperation with 7 partners aims increase youth workers' /teachers' experience and competence both theoretically and practically in the field of sexual health education of the young people with disabilities .The overall goal of this partnership is, to increase access for disabled persons to appropriate, comprehensive and inclusive sexuality education.The initiative will work towards the development of policies and appropriate programmes to ensure that young people living with learning disabilities 10-20 enjoy intimate relationships without putting themselves at risk (sexual abuse, violence, pregnancy..etc)and that they have access as others to sexual and reproductive health information . It will achieve this by facilitating exchange between organisations that are working with people with learning disabilities, and organisations who would like to initiate or expand their work in this field.THE OBJECTIVES ARE : -Minimize the problems of disabled youth in sexual matters , - To prevent the problems that youth with disabilities may experience in the field of sexual development, -To increase the social and educational inclusion of people with disabilities, - To develop independent living skills , - Develop more acceptable behaviors to express their sexuality, - To facility communication skills and externalized behaviour regarding the sexual abuse in the past in order to solve this issue -Awareness raising of the sexual and reproductive rights of people with disabilities, -Trained staff to support people with disabilities in being aware and making use of their rights, -Public awareness for the rights of people with disabilities, -Improved institutional settings to enable training of staff and sexual education for clients with disabilities. • Developing young people ’s with disabilities personal skills - (e.g. lifeskills including communication, decision-making, negotiation, confidence building etc…) through sexual health education and promotion;OUTCOMES : - A WEBSITE - A Booklet of Exchange Of Best Practices '' : In this guide book we will share the methodologies being already used in partner organizations or developed altogether with the experiences gained during the project implementation.-A'' PARENTS ' WORKBOOK'' - SEXUALITY EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH DISABILITIES The first TTM will be dedicated to project management while from the second onwards, after the training, during each Meeting we will focus on the analysis of specific BP adopted / or identified , the meetings will beenriched with a workshop planned by the hosting partner .Each organization will draw up a detailed program of the meeting of its competence.The meetings will last 2 days with the participant of 2 youth workers ;the contact persons who will takecare of the project management and other members in charge of experts and with specific skills in relation to the objectives of the meetings may participate.There will also be one training - peer to peer in Portugal where the youth workers will Exchange their best practices çTeachers' and youth workers' improved experience and competence in the field of sexual education and inclusion will ensure that youth with disabilities gain basic living skills.
