About the Project
In response to various environmental and societal shifts, the project endeavors to cultivate awareness and provide education to students regarding the significance of sustainability. The project was meticulously structured with numerous objectives, including the promotion of awareness concerning the potential perils associated with unsustainable modes of travel, the safeguarding of cultural and ecological heritage, the advocacy of more sustainable practices yielding positive ecological impacts, and the encouragement of heightened engagement as proactive members of the European Union.
About the Project
We believe that by engaging in activities centered around sustainability, students will be able to enhance their skills in creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. This approach serves as a unifying tool for all partners involved. Our decision to focus on sustainable development is based on its status as a pressing global issue that impacts all facets of human interaction. Through this focus, students will have the opportunity to not only comprehend worldwide concerns, but also to gain insights into different countries and cultures.

PROJECT Highlights
Enviroment and Climate change
The environment represents a finely balanced and interconnected system that furnishes indispensable resources for all living organisms. Human-driven activities, such as deforestation and carbon emissions, are precipitating climate change, thereby posing a profound threat to the stability of our planet's ecosystems and biodiversity. Immediate and decisive measures are imperative to alleviate the repercussions of climate change, safeguard our environment, and ensure a sustainable future for forthcoming generations
At the end of our project, we want to have students who have...
developed their ICT and foreign language skills
a more developed feeling of respect towards people with different cultural and historical backgrounds
been aware of the importance of the term sustainability
had more accurate information about the causes and effects of climate change
learned how to prepare more academic and detailed reports
Actively encouraging responsible behavior toward the environment
The logo - a symbol of our project's vision and creativity
Subsequent to the competition, which garnered more than 20 student submissions, the project logo was elected through a clandestine ballot.

The third day entailed participation in "plogging," an event combining jogging with the collection of litter. This event took place along the Danube river, targeting the riverbank and local beach areas that were marred by litter. The collected waste was appropriately disposed of at a local landfill. Subsequently, a panel discussion was held on the topic of whether tourists significantly contribute to pollution. To culminate the event, students established an educational booth downtown, presenting the outcomes of the 3-day mobility program to local residents, focusing particularly on sustainable tourism.

We got to know the tourist pearl of the Italian coast - the Amalfi Coast and the small town of Vietri del Sur
Vietri sul Mare has been known for its unique traditional ceramics since the Middle Ages, when this unassuming town on the Amalfi Coast first started exporting its colorful majolica artworks. Bright yellows, blues, and greens are used to decorate these artisan works, and motifs and techniques have remained unchanged over the centuries, often passed from generation to generation.
To learn more about the history and culture of Vietri's ceramics, visit the Museo della Ceramica set inside Villa Guariglia in Raito or simply look up to admire the majolica-tiled cupola atop the 18th-century Church of San Giovanni Battista sparkling in the sun.
