There are three objectives in the Project: firstly, a shift towards a more climate friendly behaviour among all students and employees of the school and inhabitants of the municipality over the course of the next 2 years. The second objective is the implementation of 4 physical measures on school property as a response to climate change and their further use in educational processes. The third objective is reaching 50 % of students and school employees commuting to school by bicycle on a regular basis by 2022. The main activities are the following: improvement of bicycle parking facilities, construction of rainwater retention system, construction of a functional outdoor eco-classroom, tree planting, creation of a school mobility plan, awareness raising campaign on climate and sustainable mobility.
