        Education can encourage people to change their attitudes and behavior; it also helps them to make informed decisions. In the classroom, young people can be taught the impact of global warming and learn how to adapt to climate change. Education empowers all people, but especially motivates the young to take action. Not having a subject related to the ecology of the environment, we teachers are obliged to carry out actions to protect the environment in which we live and carry out our activities. For many years our school co-opted students in the international project PORTI VERZI-GREEN GATES, but We  have expanded this topic by getting involved in an eTwinning project My Plan@. During the My plan@ project, students from the 9 participating countries interacted and carried out activities through online meetings using the Zoom platform, through digital materials created with the help of teachers using different applications and tools web 2.0. such as Bookcreator, Canva, Postermywall, Genially, StoryJumper.The purpose of this project was to accumulate new knowledge about science and nature, combining art, to increase students' interest in educational activities in which they can use their knowledge of the English language. Among the objectives of the project are the following: receiving a scientific and age-appropriate education based on evidence, informing the target group: students and teachers about climate change, accustoming the child to correct recycling behaviors and the use of materials for making of useful objects in school activities, and the use of the English language in various contexts, the integration of technology in the teaching-learning process. In order to achieve the educational objectives of the project, we used means and teaching methods adapted to the age characteristics of the students.The project was conceived primarily through a transdisciplinary approach: science and art. The integrated approach of all activities (science, literature, art, music, English, IT) allowed our students to develop creativity, communication, research and decision making.The activities carried out were in accordance with the proposed general objective, and the results of the project exceeded our expectations. General purpose: the project connects art and science to encourage more open-minded and creative students. Students are artists, scientists and entertainers at the same time. At the beginning of the project, the logos were created by each of us partners, and then the winner was chosen by the vote. The logo created by Veronica Florea, our student, won the attention of the partners. Collaborative activities were carried out by making a journal THE FUTURE HISTORY, which captures pictures from nature and stories about the nature of the future without destruction and in harmony with man. We celebrated together WATER DAY - March 22 and EARTH DAY - April 22 with planting, recycling and games (puzzle) activities. Project dissemination was achieved through the organization and celebration of EUROPE DAY, eTWINNING DAY on May 9.We believe that the objective was achieved within the activities, the final products of the activities can be found both on Twinspace and on the school website.
