Our project aims to promote knowledge, innovation, and digital skills in vocational education and training (VET) while addressing environmental issues and combating climate change. The central theme of our project is air pollution. We have identified the following general and specific objectives to achieve our goal:
- Designing a Training Program for Teachers:
- Conducting a diagnosis of educational centres to assess their STEM skills and awareness of climate change and air quality issues.
- Developing tools to diagnose the specific needs of educational centres regarding air pollution and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education.
- Creating course materials that incorporate real-time air quality measurements, open databases, and a web platform for data analysis, thereby promoting innovative educational resources.
- Training Teachers and Ensuring Program Robustness:
- Educating teachers about air pollution and enhancing their STEAM skills, fostering innovation through project-based learning, problem-solving, and service-learning methodologies.
- Equipping teachers with digital skills focused on environmental problem-solving.
- Supporting teachers in developing real pilot cases to implement with their students.
- Implementing a Pilot Project and Multiplying its Impact:
- Encouraging teachers to engage students in innovative STEAM approaches, transferring knowledge about the environment and climate change.
- Involving the educational community at various levels to promote citizen action and reduce air pollution.
- Showcasing the results of the pilot project through a public event, highlighting the modules created by students.
