Before the mobility
Students research renewable energies and green solutions in each country and EU laws; they organize a seminar with local authorities and stakeholders in order to clarify questions and create environmentally-friendly alternatives for school and neighborhood.
Students develop a creative task, with a short theatrical play showing the emotions of a teenager concerning climate change.
During the mobility
- Students share what they learned about EU laws on renewable energies and green solutions in the EU;
- They perform a theatrical play for the school community and local authorities/stakeholders;
- They share a letter of intentions at a formal level and deliver it to a communal authority.
- They participate in a workshop organized by the Department of Environmental Engineering of the Technical University of Crete in Chania on environmental issues.

Students cleaning action:
Implementing the Acting Now for the Future program would only be complete if it had an experiential nature. Therefore, in every mobility among the primary objectives was the practical application of the good practices proposed by the participants. Accordingly, the cleaning of areas, aimed not only at intervention but also at the reduction and interconnection of theory with exercise so that young European citizens can document the awareness they must have in their contact with the surrounding area.

Dissemination:
The dissemination of the principles, work findings, deliverables, and proposals necessitated their direct and indirect communication to the school, the education and the broader community. To help in this matter, media, social media and the communication resources of the school community found the space for the expression of the young European citizens who vigorously claim a better environmental future.

Collaboration with local Authorities:
Young people's dynamism, energy and faith in a better future, as decided from the beginning when planning the "Acting Now for the Future" program, would be an empty frame if it were not systematically expressed as an official attitude of young European citizens. Thus, submitting a written letter with the requests to the Municipal local authorities was considered the appropriate way of expressing the participants' positions in the program. After all, the connection of the local community and its governing authorities with the active part of the young community would be nothing but the practical application of the claim for a hopeful environmental future. Here follow the Letters to the Mayors of each of the partners' cities, written in our native languages, with a common introduction created together.
