-An album of authentic photos of urban sprawl from each partner country
-An e-booklet of endangered species
-A digital story book on deforestation and endangered species
-A database for created video games

All the students of each partner school are the main target group of the project. Since they are too young to travel abroad, they wont take part in the mobilities but approximately 400 students will be affected indirectly by participating in local activities and eTwininng virtual mobilities.

The project’s outcomes and outputs have an inspiring and effective potential. The project’s products will be available both on the project’s web site and also on the other schools’ web sites. The web site will be available even after the project ends. All materials will be available and could be used in any European school.
