Introduction

The project deals with educating students of the environmental problems facing our planet and the steps for their solutions as outlined in the Agenda 21 and confirmed at The Johannesburg Summit.
Objectives include increasing student knowledge and widening their horizons so they realise that we must act on the whole as a continent. There are no borders in nature we must tear down the national borders of our countries. We aim for students to become agents of environmental and social change by exchanging experiences with other European students.
A large spectrum of the cultural and social European reality is involved since the partners come from all corners of Europe.
The core subjects of the project are:

Planet Earth: everybody’s home.
Environment: Natural and Urban (pollution, waste, climatic change, the 4 Rs
Water and everything related to it: pollution, access, lack of, quality, etc:)
Energy (petroleum, electricity, renewable, etc)
Nutrition and health (we are what we eat- nutrition, diet, genetically modified food,etc) Education for everybody.

At the crux of each the aforementioned is: Social and Economic Dimensions, Conservation and Management of Resources for sustainable Development and Means of Implementation.

We hope
