- Development of a methodological manual (creation of toolkit for teachers to educate students in the field of environmental protection including the aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation),
- Reducing waste generation and its further use by improving classroom sorting (installation and use of sorting bins, monitoring of waste production, waste management of the school),
- Reduction of waste generation and its further use through vermicomposters,
- Creation of herb garden with rain water irrigation (construction of herb garden in the school campus, planting medicinal herbs),
- Saving energy using solar energy (installation of a photovoltaic system on the roof of the school building),
- Activities of teachers (testing of new education activities in practice).
