The final meeting of the Erasmus+ project “Shaping the Future Together – Contributing Sustainably to the World and Driving Change” took place in Strasbourg. The educational programme was deliberately aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals as well as with the multiplier event organized at the European Parliament.

Strasbourg itself served as an educational learning environment, as the city is both a symbol of European cooperation and an example of sustainable urban development. All programme activities reflected these two dimensions.

Following the arrival of the partners, an opening meeting was held to review the achievements of the previous 24 months of the project. At the same time, the objectives of the final meeting were defined:

• the systematic presentation of the project results,
• the placement of the sustainable learning environment model within a European context,
• the preparation of the multiplier event at the European Parliament.

During a guided city tour, participants analysed Strasbourg’s sustainable transport system, green infrastructure, and energy-efficient urban solutions. The students worked using structured observation criteria and subsequently discussed the relationship between sustainability and European values such as solidarity, responsibility, and intergenerational justice.

This activity provided the conceptual preparation for the presentation at the European Parliament and highlighted that sustainability is not only an environmental issue but also a social and democratic one.

During the subsequent workshop, the key project outcomes were finalized:

• the Handbook for Sustainable Learning Environments,
• the results of the measurements and assessments (ecological footprint, changes in attitudes and awareness),
• the documentation of structural developments within the partner institutions,
• summaries of the podcasts and the products created by the students.

The aim was to prepare a scientifically sound presentation based on measurable results that could be presented at the European Parliament.

The visit to Colmar provided participants with valuable intercultural experiences and an opportunity to experience Europe’s cultural diversity. In this way, one of the project’s horizontal objectives was strengthened: the promotion of intercultural competences and the development of a European identity.

During the visit to the European Parliament, participants gained insights into the functioning of European decision-making processes, visited the plenary chamber, and took part in a professional exchange of ideas. This activity represented a concrete experience of active citizenship, as students encountered European democracy not only in theory but also within its real institutional framework.

The highlight of the final meeting was the multiplier event held at the European Parliament.

The objective of this event was the European dissemination of the project results. During the presentations, we:

• presented our sustainable learning environment models,
• introduced the developed handbook and its transferability,
• explained measurable indicators and project impacts,
• reflected on the partnership’s cooperation models,
• emphasized the role of young people in the context of ecological transformation.

The significance of this multiplier event lay in the fact that:

• the project results were presented within a European professional environment,
• the topic of sustainability was directly linked to the political priorities of the European Union,
• students were able to present their work within a real political decision-making context.

Therefore, the event was not only a dissemination and multiplication activity but also an important step towards the social and institutional integration of the project results.

During the concluding meeting, further dissemination activities and perspectives for the sustainable continuation of the project outcomes were defined.

The programme in Strasbourg formed a coherent whole:

• the analysis of sustainable urban development examples,
• the professional development and presentation of project results,
• the exploration of European institutions,
• and the European dissemination of the outcomes

all pursued the common goal of strengthening sustainable thinking and active European citizenship.

The presentation of the project at the European Parliament represented both a symbolic and professionally significant conclusion to the 24-month cooperation. It demonstrated that school-based sustainability initiatives are relevant within the European context and can continue to be developed and expanded at the European level.
