SCHOOLS GO GREEN: How will primary teachers and children be engaged into green skills development?

Schools Go Green project is developing a variety of resources to provide green skills both to teachers and students. The structure of all the resources will be built upon a Competence Framework. So far, this document has been one of the main tasks of the partnership that is implementing this project.

 

Schools Go Green project is being developed in order to contribute to Green Deal demand to carrying out a series of initiatives that will improve people’s awareness, attitudes and knowledge around environmental issues. Our society has been built without a sustainable relation with natural resources and the natural environment in general. This project will support the necessary mind shift of future generations towards this “new way of living system” generated by the green economy.

The developed Competences Framework will allow the structuring of green skills in 7 thematic modules. The modules address subject areas crucial to the development of a green economy.

AIMS

  • To help and support primary children and primary school teachers in creating their own Whole School Green Policy.
  • To promote an environmentally friendly mind-set that could contribute towards the protection of the environment and prevent climate change.
  • To equip pupils from a very young age with knowledge and competences to address environmental issues and challenges that affect their communities.
  • To upgrade teachers’ skills, as well as enhance their teaching methodologies and tools so that they can contribute to the protection of the environment.

With Schools Go Green educational resources it is expected to:

Educate participants with the content of the 7 Thematic modules;

Provide tools to self-access personal behaviours that don’t align with a green economy;

Provide tools to start acting for change.
