"Erasmus+" is an international programme funded by the European Commission to promote cooperation and mutual understanding between schools, students and teachers within the European Union.   Green Energy Saves the Earth is a joint project for the years 2020 – 2023 in cooperation with 6 countries and 6 schools. The project brings scientific solutions in the context of climate change, pollution and other environmental problems.

The aim of our project is to teach green energy, which are the advantages and possibilities of improving life on the planet using renewable energy.  The "Green Energy Saves the Earth" project is a much-needed project for a new generation that delivers a sustainable outcome for the future of the planet. It is a guide with practical information designed for students and teachers worldwide. In the context of climate change and environmental pollution, we aimed to inform students about the use of green renewable energy that does not harm the atmosphere and climate, to make them aware of the consequences of air pollution and how solutions can be produced with green energy.

The target group is students aged 11-15 years, because at this age students are able to learn more actively and assimilate more the knowledge and practice available to them. Erasmus+ projects provide the opportunity to associate the learning experience with a strong emotional friendship context as well as scientific information.
