How can we make the difference

Activity focuses on the impact students could have in the long-term in relation to environment protection. Divided in groups (each group had students from all the participating countries), they designed " How can we make the difference" team project. The projects summarizes the things students have learnt during the implementation of project activities until now. Considering the fact that learning about ecology is not a difficult task but acquiring habits to protect the nature is a hard job, the main objective of the activity is to force students to rethink what they should do to develop environmentally-friendly habits. Each participant contributed to his/her team project with the unique experience of his/her country. Team projects presented the basic rules everybody should follow to protect the nature. After the activity ends, the team projects were presented to the rest of the participating students in the Learning Teaching Training Activity and organised in a digital project diary . Moreover, the participants looked on the impact "How can we make the difference" team projects have on their

schoolmates.
