Objectives
Awaken teachers' environmental awareness so that they can act as facilitating agents for students, inspiring the participation of the educational community in solving environmental problems; Provide teachers with knowledge in the field of environmental education to sustainable development: ∙ Concepts of environmental sustainability; ∙ Evidence-based information and statistics about environmental problems; ∙ Importance of the efficient use of natural and manufactured resources, and minimization of pollution and waste production; ∙ The impact of every action on the environment; ∙ Two types of economy: linear and circular economy and comprehension of the life cycle of consumer goods; ∙ The 6 R's of the environment (Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot) as a tool to simplify environmental education. Promote the research, sharing, and application of creative strategies in an educational context that promote environmental sustainability: ∙ Educational tools and resources, including evidence-based information, statistics, videos, and practical exercises in the field of environmental education that teachers can adapt to their context; ∙ Creation of environmental education activities and their use in educational context inside and outside the classroom; 1 ∙ Reflection in large groups and subgroups, according to their subject areas and educational levels, on the best strategies for children and young people to experience and acquire environmental awareness skills. Lead the path from environmental awareness to action ∙ Empower teachers to carry out “hands-on” upcycling (creative reuse) low-budget activities. These activities using recycled materials will act as a starting point for ongoing work to raise awareness in children and young people about environmental issues; ∙ Real examples on how to change consumption patterns and reduce waste production. |
