Topics addressed by ROC project:

A. Environment and climate change
B. Green skills
C. Disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery

Target groups of the project: students aged 12-16 and their families, who can reinforce what students are learning at school by adopting climate –friendly practices at home. Our project will involve every project participant in our partner schools in deciding which roles they will take on during the project implementation. Each participant group will vote and elect representatives that will speak and act on their behalf in the climate action teams which are in charge of coordinating the development, implementation, dissemination and review of each partner school plan on climate change and recycling education.
