In the Erasmus+-project Geo Circle (2017-2020) eight schools for secondary education worked together and also in their region in sustainability projects about circular economy. On a regional level clients from the circular economy sector provided real life assignments for the students in various Geo Circle projects. Internationally, the students from schools in Germany, the Netherlands and Czech Republic supported each other in finding solutions for these challenges/problems.

This brochure describes how schools can create a regional network with businesses, governments (local/regional) and organizations (profit/non-profit) to cooperate in school projects. It highlights the benefits for young people, schools and teachers, and the regional partners in this innovative and creative method of education.

It also describes the importance of international collaboration between schools to broaden the horizon for their students. Connections and exchanges can have a positive impact for the future, as Europe is heading towards a circular economy. For all young people nowadays, circular economy will be a certainty in their everyday life.
