1. Introduction
In a world where environmental protection and responsible consumption are becoming priorities, students need to understand the scientific processes behind everyday products. Through hands-on experiments in chemistry, biology, and physics, this project aims to develop critical thinking, STEM competencies, and ecological awareness.
Through collaboration between teachers and students from multiple European countries, the project transforms STEM knowledge into concrete actions: observing natural processes, conducting practical experiments, recycling materials, actively participating in environmental protection, and creating a green relaxation and inspiration corner in the school.
The project aims to build a sustainable connection between schools based on shared values, applied science, and environmental responsibility—a connection that lays the foundation for long-term European collaboration.
2. Project Aim
To develop a positive and conscious attitude toward the environment by applying STEM principles in practical and creative activities that contribute to a green and sustainable life. To establish the foundations of a European network of green STEM schools.
3. Objectives
• Develop students’ scientific curiosity through interdisciplinary practical experiments (chemistry, biology, physics), applying theoretical knowledge in real-life situations.
• Foster skills in observation, measurement, and interpretation through the preparation of lab sheets, recording experimental data, and presenting conclusions in digital formats (posters, presentations, e-book).
• Promote international collaboration and teamwork by forming mixed groups among partner schools, participating in online meetings, and creating joint outputs (logo, poster, digital journal).
• Increase ecological awareness through recycling activities (handmade paper, reusing materials, producing eco-friendly items such as soap and natural dyes).
• Engage students in direct ecological actions through community green activities (tree planting, setting up the “Green Corner – Our Relaxation and Inspiration Spot”).
• Create a joint European product – the e-book “STEM for Green Life – Our Green Europe” – showcasing the results of activities and illustrating the positive impact of science on the environment and society.
• Establish a European network of green STEM schools (STEM Green Schools Network) to continue collaboration through sharing best practices and future projects dedicated to green and sustainable education.
