Where there’s a will, there’s a way

eTwinning Project for 9th and 10th grade students.

About the project

The aim of the project ’’Where there’s a will, there’s a way’’ is to encourage students to think about how they can contribute to reducing energy consumption and to get rid of existing unsustainable habits. In addition it is important that students wonder from where the energy they consume at home and in the school come and how it is produced as well as investigate other possibilities for sustainable living.
