In the case of students, it improves linguistic and professional skills, as well as awakening the feeling of European belonging and autonomy in their learning process through entrepreneurship. Inexperienced partners have learned how to manage a strategic partnership project. The Bilbao city council has been interested in the continuity of this project in another for the city of Bilbao as a green city.
