- 2. 2 Our project Considering the emerging trends on environmental education, training and testing recycling and reusing are one of the key factor to create a virtuous circle good practices between operators from different countries, in order to create a environmental education program which is flexible and shared for new generations. The TrEE project aimed to develop a European network of trainers, teachers and operators of environmental education and recycling methods, who have searched, selected and experienced tools for efficient training. The partnership have realized an exchange of experiences and opportunities through transnational meetings, attended by staff and learners, a network of local museums of recycling created by artifacts realized in each country thanks to local activities, a set of photos produced to create tools for sharing and training in recycle methods, in order to improve the implementation of programs in environmental education. Partners realized an initial phase of study and analysis of national policies on the environment and teaching methods and/or projects and laboratories just realized, and made a selection of the most innovative and effective practices. In each country Partners have implemented local activities and workshops, involving trainers, teachers and trainees, on recycling, reuse, waste separation, etc., and have realized a photos collection to disseminate these experiences of environmental education. Our partner institutions have different experiences on a wide range of activities, involving different learner groups and target groups, as different backgrounds. One common point for our learners was the need to satisfy their curiousity and professional training needs about the efficacy of policies, strategies as of specific programs and activities to promote, at different levels, active effects on environmental education and sustainable development. Each Partner have also organize a local exibition as part of an European festival of recycled products, and a final event, to deliver the results of the project and realize the final show and book“ The little mermaid and the sea full of waste” realized Recycling Materials. The project was also an exciting international experience for the participants who gained a wider perspective of education, experienced mobility, international dialogue and an European dimension of a specific sector of adult education.

The partnership gave the project the opportunity to analyze, discuss and compare among experts coming from different contexts, and gave an European dimension to the issues of environmental education recycling and reusing in the dimension of sustainable development. The final outputs are good resources for implementation of non formal and informal trainings on recycling and reusing in all of Europe. The end users of the project will have a chance to use produced training experiences, training materials and tools in their own training activities. Therefore, these will be good resources for the end users or stakeholders of the project in Europe.
