Introduction
'For a Greener Europe' is an Erasmus+ school education project coordinated by Voices of the World. This project runs on trainings for teachers and students by providing learning techniques for sustainable green environmental education, while fostering the importance of STEM subjects on ways to prevent Global warming, climate change, prevention of pollution, soil conservation, and environmental sustainability. 
The project has introduced the use of technology to raise awareness, design apps for sustainability, and learn how to block code with python to design future technologies.
With the help of our invited experts in the field, the project offered a better understanding by visiting companies that work with Green Energy: "EV charging" by the 
Vilnius company 'Inbalance Grid' and 'Waste to Energy plant' in CopenHill in Copenhagen. Our trainers also worked on the topics of over-fishing, fossil-fuels and reducing green house gas emissions.
