Climate Change Education
Climate Change Education - Climate change offers an open door to students’ re-engagement in science was a project under the Erasmus+ concept. The project had a duration of 30 months from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2023 and was implemented as a collaboration between eight European educational institutions
The students managed extremely well when it came to real climate change missions, they somehow knew exactly what to do and their ideas were fresh and new. They decided to share info in museums, make presentations (on topics such as the climatic and epidemiological situation and vaccines) and organize field trips to chemical or solar production companies. They defined Climate change missions as "tasks that were meant to raise awareness on important climate topics such as global warming, food waste, /water droughts and epidemiology through the lens of open science schooling"

It is advisable to encourage the students to experience the satisfaction from the work they have done and from mission dissemination. Students felt a huge gratification when they could share their ideas with students and teachers from other countries and later with students, teachers, representatives of local authorities, universities, organisations, and so on. Whenever they encountered some problems like shyness or doubt in their abilities, they learned how to overcome difficulties with the help from teachers and their colleagues. This way they gained self-confidence, life experience and feeling of fulfilment”
