The vision of the project

Our vision is to implement engaging and memorable experiences for school students and let the magic of eco-consciousness happen for our communities.

Our project aims to foster an inclusive learning environment that engages students in designing creative solutions to environmental sustainability challenges. We believe in a holistic approach to education that promotes knowledge acquisition, critical thinking, and problem-solving, which are fundamental for functional literacy and 21st-century skills. It also provides a new approach to STEM subjects and their power to promote eco-consciousness in school. 

The project is designed to address the needs of teachers and primary school children by providing a comprehensive and innovative approach to environmental education. It will be delivered through 6 working packages, each of which targets a specific need and ensures that teachers and children are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, and competencies.

Objectives:

• Raising awareness and understanding about the green transition, environmental and climate-change challenges among students & teachers, decision-making bodies and other stakeholders
• Developing green sectoral skills relevant to the green economy and environmental sustainability for students and teachers/educators
• Creating future-oriented curricula that better meet the needs of the students aged 11-14 
• Promoting the STEM approach to education through experiential learning
• Improve teacher’s understanding and use of interdisciplinary approaches to sustainability education
• Design innovative learning materials that integrate real-life experiences into the school curriculum
• Enhanced student’s problem-solving and critical-thinking skills regarding
• environmental issues, thus boosting their functional literacy
• Prepare students and educational organizations to participate in and contribute to the transition toward a greener and more sustainable economy

Tangible results

Educational content for students

It will focus on developing educational materials and activities to foster eco-consciousness, targeting students aged 11-14. These materials will improve the knowledge and skills of the youngsters regarding environmental issues through using magic tricks and hands-on science experiments

Training Toolkit for Teachers

It will provide teachers with a training toolkit that will enable them to integrate sustainable development topics into their regular classroom curriculum. The toolkit will include methodology, principles, and strategies for teaching engaging and memorable environmental issues through magic tricks and hands-on science experiments.

Online Educational Resource

It will focus on developing an online educational resource that provides teachers with bite-sized learning modules. The resource will also include supporting videos explaining how to implement the classroom activities and creative ideas for connecting them to the school curriculum.

Implementation of the program 

The implementation of the program, including LTTA, pilot testing, and mobility, comprises three sub-activities through which we can gather feedback and recommendations from the target groups. This feedback will help us assess how well the developed products meet their needs and identify areas for improvement. Ensuring the results are of high quality is crucial.

Exploitation and Multiplier Events

It aims to disseminate project results and outputs to reach a wider audience. The main objectives of this WP are to develop and implement a strategy for increasing the project’s reach and visibility.
