"Hello, Dear Cli-Mates!" is a KA229 Erasmus+ funded project involving 4 partner countries: Romania (the coordinator), Italy, Spain and Turkey. Climate change is a global threat to all nations in achieving a sustainable future regarding many vital areas (e.g.economy, agriculture, health). Many countries are suffering from natural disasters, abnormal weather patterns, increasing heat day by day. As educational institutions, we aim to prove our role in contributing to the fight against climate change with an international collaborative partnership considering the power of education in shaping future citizens with knowledge, competence, skills, attitudes and values in order to cope with the causes and effects of climate change, mitigate and adapt the changes at best level. 
  Several actions have been taken accordingly at international level: Sustainable development goals (SDGs) were set by UN involving the 13th goal: Climate Action, Kyoto Protocol and lately Paris agreement (2016) were acknowledged by many countries. As stated in Curriculum Framework for the Sustainable Development Goals by UN (The 2030 Agenda), educational practices should be put in the centre of actions against climate change. As educational institutions, we aim to prove our role in contributing to realization of these actions by acting in an international collaborative partnership considering the power of education in shaping future citizens with knowledge, competence, skills, attitudes and values to cope with the causes and effects of climate change and mitigate and adapt the changes at best level.
     Our primary aim is to raise awareness of mainly pupils, teachers, schools staff and parents regarding causes, effects of climate change and produce and act solutions accordingly at home and schools. 
Besides, for pupils and teachers, we basically aim to:

• Develop foreign language and digital competence (web2.0 tools), research and presentation skills;

• Promote intercultural communication and respect to diversity;

• Be more independent and responsible European citizens dealing with global issues as climate change

• Enhance students’ self-confidence, creativity, problem-solving skills

• Discover and share good teaching and learning practices to develop school education capacity

• Use and adopt interdisciplinary, outdoor, cooperative, experiential teaching methods to better European education

• Integrating climate change into curricula via lesson plans

• Learn European policies against climate change (e.g. SDGs, Climate Action, Paris Agreement)

  We aim to achieve our goals easier and faster via Twinspace, eTwinning Live events, project website and social media tools, fair and exhibitions and visits to local authorities actively with a strong dissemination!
