A forum was opened according to which teachers presented their suggestions on the topics of podcasts to be discussed throughout the project. Five Topics were provided for partner schools which can be found in Environment - European Commission (europa.eu) in order to create Podcast 3 and choose one topic from the list, which is a mixed-school Podcast. The issue of biodiversity was also suggested for partners.

Partners organized a podcast and created mixed-school teams. Teams cooperated in creating a podcast together and all partnering schools participated in the creation of the Podcast, the scripts, the presentation and the editing process.

Four teams, with students from 4 countries (Greece: Echedoros, France: Lannion, Spain: Barcelone and Turkiye: Konya) in each team, were created. In each team, students searched for information, shared ideas and wrote together a podcast script to explain "Why biodiversity loss a big problem".
