One of the most important objectives which will be strived for is to raise students´ and public´s awareness of possible changes that would help save resources, and support their green skills. Another goal is to develop students’ competences relating to green skills and sustainability, because these are both present and future-oriented topics focused on people´s and planet´s needs. The students would become real bearers of changes in the field of saving resources, finding new ways of using waste, and spreading their ideas further. The project work will also contribute to their professional skills development, because they will focus on the branch of construction that is spreading very quickly throughout the world. As they are going to cooperate with local companies dealing with waste recycling and producing building materials, they can get acquainted with a real-work environment. This will help develop their work skills and give them a sort of training for their future job.

The students will deal with utilization of waste and non-traditional materials by testing various waste and look for more ideas concerning their utilization in construction. They will proceed to heat testing comparing different materials (recycled and more classical materials) in order to make a performance analysis (comparative tables) of the different possible solutions.

The students learning motivation will be developed by new learning strategies they will be provided, encouraging their problem-solving skills, and offering them with reasonable assignments and effective feedback. It will be a real challenge for the students, because they are going to get involved in authentic work and meaningful activities, as the they become part of the research themselves.

It will be carried out in several ways. Within the whole duration of the project students and teachers will make use of the eTwinning platform to share their partial results and achievements, to share information and to communicate. Several virtual exchanges will be realized in both initial and ongoing phases. There will be 4 international meetings – each of them taking place in one of the participating schools. Each school schedules activities in order to exchange their practices. These activities include visiting the schools, participating in several workshops on waste utilization and testing led by their teachers of construction, and last but not least excursions in local businesses focused on waste utilization, construction materials production, sustainability and ecology.

On longer term relations between participating schools, relations among local schools in particular regions, and those with local business will be established in order to build on the knowledge and outputs gained from the project.
