"In today's world consumerism is incresing with each passing day incredibly and we will be faced with this ground breaking issue not only today but also in the future. We are over-using the natural resources of the planet as if they are endless.People behave as their self-worth is only driven by their possesions and especially today's young feel to pressed to obtain goods beyond their basic needs.Unfortunately,today's teenagers have been associated with the most materialistic generation.In accordance with Horizon 2020, ""CAUTION!The Rise of the ECO-Warriors"" project will point out to promote a more resource efficient European economy and society.We aim to help our students understand global issues,see the connections to their lives and empower them to create a sustainable world.The WWF’s study Living Planet Report 2016 shows that globally we are already in overshoot consuming 30% percent more resources than the Earth can replenish each year,which isleading to deforestation,degraded soils,polluted air and water and dramatic declines in numbers of fish and other species.This is because the project will educate the participants how to build sustainable,informed communities that are economically,environmentally and socially sound and encourage them to solve how to keep our environment healthy and preserve it for the future generations.If we educate teenagers about the destructive effects of excessive consumerism,theywill of course realise the world and also their future is hung by thread.Drawing attention of them is the first and the most important step to take them action.Everybody knows well and believe that the youth can accomplish everything if they want.They can both save the world and their future.""The CREW"" project will put design thinking into practice and brainstorm big ideas to deal with more advanced topic like how to protect the Earth,our most valuable heritage for future generations.Our project having distinct activities in different transversal subjects will integrate cross-curricular teaching with problem-based,project-based and game-based learning along with projects related to the environmental issues.The teachers will define a real-life problem with activities such as “The House of Mother Nature” and ask open-ended question that drives thinking and learning.While building a prototype of a machine or device that can help solve the ocean trash problems with ""Save the Oceans""activity,the students will make real-life connections.So,the school will not be a place where they learn but instead becomes the entire experience of learning itself.In this process we will form 3 Clubs (Three Rs, Gardening and GYH)to fulfill some duties and tasks in each partner school.The activities like ""Making Own Fertilizer"" or ""Weaving Carpet"" workshops aims to build a more sustainable European Culture by celebrating the past to build our future.""Discussion events"" that will take place in LTT's will help young people to cherish their own cultural heritage,discover their diversity and enrich their lives by interacting with each other.Dance and Song performances prepared by ""GYH"" Club will solve problems like being stranger to different cultures in EuropeanUnion and explore the cultural diversity of Europe.By celebrating ""Buy Nothing Day ""students will reflect upon the ideas of consumption and waste.With ""Gardening Club"" activities', the project will also promote conscious eating behaviour and adopt a healthy nutrition as a natural part of the daily routine.The activities of the partnership include teenagers between 14-18.The project will bring together 60 teachers and 120 students from 6 different European countries(Bulgaria,Turkey,Poland,Spain,Lithuania and Portugal) to develop a set of thinking reasoning, teamwork, investigative and creative skills that they can use in all areas of their lives.The concrete objectives of the partnership are many, but they all stem from one urgent need: to make new generation friendlier and tolerant.In 24 months,6 project meetings will be held in three-month intervals.We will do 1 short term joint staff training and 5 short term exchanges of groups of pupils.Expect from 6 on-line conferences within LTTs,there will also be 10 on-line meeting events for students to share their work.Our aim is to publicize all the actions that will take place during the project.The ""CREW"" project involve both internal and external stakeholders in project activities as contributors and active participants.We will adopt a multi-strand approach to ensure our efforts are effective, so the dissemination activities will include on-line and off-line dissemination channels to make the project easily accessible and available for parents,local community and media to view. We will cooperate with the local Environmetalists, Professors and Policy Makers in every phase of the project.These people will be invited to join online and face-to-face discussion events and see concrete actions like school festivals."
