For their Erasmus+ project Kinder to the Sea, St. Sylvester’s Infant School partnered with schools in Estonia and Spain to develop environmental awareness among young children.

Through shared activities, litter pick-up initiatives, and creative exchanges such as digital postcards, the schools connected pupils across borders while exploring common environmental challenges.

By combining hands-on learning with teacher mobility and the exchange of best practices in early years education, Kinder to the Sea shows how Erasmus+ projects can foster sustainability awareness, strengthen school partnerships, and empower both educators and young learners across Europe.
