It is coordinated by the University of West London and the participants are: ADVANCIS and BOON from Portugal, specializing in the production of electronic educational material, Szkola Podstawowa from Poland, a Primary School that is located in the center of Krakow, SATRO from the United Kingdom, an educational NGO that promotes education in Natural Sciences (STEM) by offering educational programs to schools and promoting the education of the poorest classes and girls and the Environmental Education Center of Vamos from Greece, a body under the Ministry of Education, offering environmental education programs for schools, seminars for educators and also produces educational material.

The Strategic Partnership in Education Plan aims to develop an innovative pedagogy that uses the game as a tool to promote Environmental Education for Sustainable Development in children aged 6 to 10.  Within the framework of the Plan, an educational computer game has been created, to raise the interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) within formal, non-formal and informal learning contexts.

At the same time, an Implementation Guide with Parallel Educational Activities was developed for educators and parents. Presentations of the game such as this one planned to happen in May in Greece, are currently being scheduled for educators in all participating countries.
