Undeniably, the state of the planet we liveon has been deteriorating further each year for the past decades. We can all, as individuals, participate more in <\/span>trying to make the world a better place for future generations. <\/span>To do that, it is vital that each and every one of us become aware of how and what we can do to improve our lifestyles. With this goal in mind, we created a new course aimed at teachers for them to learn, discuss ideas and challenges, and how they can get their pupils to become conscious of the world around them and the state of the planet their children will live on, as well as developing green skills.<\/span><\/span>
This new course \u201cGreen skills for education: promotingenvironmental awareness and sustainable actions in the classroom\u201d,took place in Tenerife from 26\/05\/2024 to 01\/06\/2024.The participants came from all across Europe; J\u00f3zsef from Ciszterci Rend Nagy Lajos Gimn\u00e1ziuma \u00e9s Koll\u00e9giuma<\/strong> in Hungary, Cathrin and Kati from LDVC Nauen<\/strong> in Germany, Alena from Z\u0160 Nov\u00fd Ji\u010d\u00edn<\/strong> from Czech Republic, Erika from BSZC Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n Bilingual Secondary School of Ecenomics and Student Hostel<\/strong> in Hungary, Magda, Veronica, Oana and Adina from Scoala Gimnaziala nr.11 Buzau<\/strong> in Romania, John, Elaine, Mary and Bridget from Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board<\/strong> in Ireland, Nataliia from Carlo-Schmid-Oberschule<\/strong> in Germany, Claudia from E.T.A. Hoffmann-Gymnasium<\/strong> in Deutschland.<\/span><\/span>
The week began with discussions arounddefinitions of words related to the environment such as <\/span>sustainability<\/span> or even <\/span>greenwashing<\/span>. As complex as the phenomenon can be, giving a clear definition for some related words can be relatively hard as they depend on each person. Discussion around what each word implies took place to have a better understanding of the level of \u201cgreen knowledge\u201d each participant had and also to share points of view on various subjects related to the environment.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Following that, the participants explored the <\/span>Ziele f\u00fcr nachhaltige Entwicklung\u00a0<\/span>through games. It helps students understand the global challenges we face and instills a sense of purpose and commitment to working towards achieving these goals.<\/span><\/span>
Through practical activities and simulations, teachers discovered innovative ways to engage students on topical green issues such as <\/span>global warming<\/span>, <\/span>carbon footprint<\/span>, und <\/span>sustainable food consumption<\/span>. Non-formal and experiential learning approaches were emphasized to promote critical thinking and reflection.<\/span><\/span>
During our recent outdoor session, we immersed ourselves in the heart of nature to discuss <\/span>the importance of outdoor education<\/span>. We explored how this practice can bring us closer to nature, offering a unique and profound learning experience.<\/span><\/span>
We reflected on the many benefits of spending time outdoors: <\/span>improving physical<\/span> und <\/span>mental well-being<\/span>, <\/span>reducing stress<\/span> und <\/span>increasing creativity<\/span>.The connection with the natural environment allowed us to appreciate its beauty and its balance, inspiring us to live more consciously and respectfully towards our planet.<\/span><\/span>
In addition, we participated in a <\/span>significant beach cleaning activity<\/span>. This concrete gesture not only <\/span>improved the coastal environment<\/span>, but also strengthened our sense of community and ecological responsibility. Waste collection has reminded us of the importance of preserving the purity of our natural spaces for future generations.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

In summary,\u00a0<\/span>the outdoor session <\/span>was\u00a0<\/span><\/span>not\u00a0 only an opportunity\u00a0to learn, but also\u00a0<\/span>to grow as individuals and as a group, strengthening\u00a0our bond with nature and\u00a0<\/span>our commitment to protect it.<\/span>
And finally, we focused on empowering teachers to lead by example and develop personal and classroom action plans for a green transition. By planning and implementing sustainable practices,\u00a0<\/span>educators can inspire students to embrace sustainability and actively contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.<\/span>
Through this week, teachers did not only gain inspiration and practical strategies but also joined a network of like-minded professionals dedicated to creating positive change. Together, they will now embark on a journey to transform education and\u00a0<\/span>foster a sustainable mindset that will shape our societies for years to come.
