The competence of the students when they do practical things is amazing so definetely the results are bigger than challenges.

It is difficult to involve all the teachers. The teachers easy to involve are those who are already involved in other projects. So we should depart from a small activity which is sustainable to keep active and slowly try to interest other collegues.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some very enthusiastic teachers at my school and we try our best to turn things around.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a strict curriculum that doesn't allow us enough time to do any extra activities. Many teachers are not willing to stay at school longer. And there are a lot of parents who are not as motivated as teachers to change their habits and try to live more sustainable.

# data[].attributes.body
The effects on upbringing are truly visible. A great contribution is made by the principal who pushes the school in that direction, but also by long-term awareness in the spirit of the community to which the school belongs.

Time and lots of school activities. In my school we are very busy with a lot of meetings and a lot of documents to fill in. 😢

# data[].attributes.body
Over 68% of our students commute daily (at 7 to 40 km); other students from the longer distance (at 45 to 100 km), live on the student campus or in the host, at their own expense,

# data[].attributes.body
The advantage is that a small core can be organized that can influence positively, the students are motivated and thus the desire to participate becomes contagious

# data[].attributes.body
It's a real work with people, most of them are reluctant to what's new, they don't like to go out of their comfort zone.

To involve the whole school or local comunity is not as easy as one can imagine. Most of my colleagues or parents still see this kind of matters as unnecessary topic and prefer to focus in the old curriculum.

Small things matters. Even small things that take a second thought on how we use papers in the school. Do we recycle, uppcycle and so forth. The students are more awared a few weeks into the project

We work on eTwinning and Erasmus+ projects with environmental topics such as Food waste. Sustainability, Climate change, Air and water pollution. We also collaborate with volunteering associations that help us to raise awareness among students about these topics. Fo example we usually organise meeting with Plasticfree association. Their volunteers inform and sensitise students with the aim of increasing the awareness that there is no Planet B. Their interventions at school transmit to the students all the necessary notions to make the right choices in compliance with the environment.

We have an environmental group. They carry out some initiatives around green actitivies.

Time. Perhaps this is the big challenge. Sometimes there is no time for informal meetings or discussing something. This question prevent us from develope colaborative innitiaves.

The advantage is a full awareness and a common goal for school and community, which can effectively make the difference.

The biggest challenge is to get more teachers involved and fit/adapt their curriculum to sustainability programs because the excuse is that there isn´t much time.

The big advantage is to effectively create full awareness of the importance of sustainability. Fortunately, in my group of schools, the headmaster is very involved and aware of this issue.
The advantage of having a wide group of teachers in the project was an added value.

# data[].attributes.body
The big challenge is to mobilize more teachers to raise awareness of their subjects, creating a group of decision-makers, and motivators, of specific planning.
Although the group of schools is already an Eco-School, it is fundamental to revive, on a daily basis, attitudes, and commitments so that good practices are not lost.

# data[].attributes.body
Students, teachers, parents and other members of the local community are aware of how important sustainability is for all of us. Students are motivated for activities that contribute to the sustainability of the school and beyond. The school is happy to participate in various projects on the topic of sustainability.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenge would be to motivate and involve as many colleagues, parents and other members of the local community as possible on the topic of sustainability. There is an eco committee in the school, but the members and everyone else should be more active in their work. Activities on the topic of sustainability should be carried out more often, but there is a lack of time and financial support.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose and impact on sustainability at school will undoubtedly be more effective. The implementation of the same goal by the school and the involvement of students and parents in resource utilization and recyclability will be easier and more adopted.

School staff and teachers may have different levels of commitment to the same cause. not interested or may see the work and planning as additional work for them.

Problems might arise because there is a limited amount of time available for the activities, and: projects that evoke change will definitely need good planning. Therefore, people who are willing to spend not only their working hours, but also their leisure time are needed. Still: the prospective outcome of the project should be motivating enough

We carry out activities according to  the national curriculum. We must address transcurricular sustainability because there are limits in the approach to the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
we started a sustainability team this year (3 teachers and 1-2 pupils as representant of every class). We aimed to have meetings once a month. However, there is always something else. We had just 2 meetings up to now, and the teachers have no time to plan (just sending e-mails to each other).
However, we will try to improve.

Although there is limited time in curriculum and the expected outcomes should be achieved, Sustainability should be integrated in every subject and the day-to day school life. We suffer the consequences of irresponsible treatment of the environment, so pupils should be taught in various subjects how to fix the problem to ensure better future.

In a public school, students have low expectations for change and are demoralized, and a desire to see change happening immediately and all at the same time. We need to engage in effective actions that are realistic for school students. Our biggest challenge is the social problems students face, which drain the energy and enthusiasm they need to focus on these issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Our advantages are that the school has a polytunnel and outdoor space. We live in a rural location with lots of nature areas.
We also have a school canteen run by a very eco friendly person, so there is potential for collaboration there.

The biggest advantage is that we're a small rural school surrounded by nature and natural resources which we can use to teach our kids about the importance of ecology and preserving it all.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of our biggest challenges are the location of our school and the fact that most students travel to school by bus. That's why we have problems with timetable and organising different activities at our school. It can be very challenging.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are the first to ask for something different. They also want to make a difference and they want to take action. We have to harness that will and those values.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing projects on sustainability is not impossible but requires good project structuring, curriculum integration, space and time. Bureaucracy sometimes creates barriers to carry out an idea, but the important thing is to never give up because our students need to be aware and work on these issues.
