Czech University of Life Sciences Prague ·Czechia
About this project
<p>We all live in the world of the critical climate change challenge, and we must prepare the young generation to face it. To explain how environmental responsibility, sustainable development and bioeconomy work, we need to innovate teaching methods. This project aims to adapt the methodology of the Norwegian partner with rich experience with these topics for Czech primary schools. The project team will work on educational modules, a workbook and a web application that will attractively introduce the aspect of bioeconomy in relation to forestry on concrete examples. </p> <p>This project will bring new approaches and methods to formal education. But above all, it will inspire children to be active and make conscious decisions regarding the circular economy.</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
The Norwegian partner has huge experience in the field of educating children about the forest ecosystem (especially in the form of the Learning with Forests program, which has been running with them for 40 years). They bring together 37 forestry organizations and scientific institutions in Norway, which is why it has very high expertise in the field of forestry sustainability and forest bioeconomy, which is especially well developed in the Scandinavian countries. They therefore integrate this issue in children's education in the long term. The Norwegian partner was of fundamental importance for this project in the form of transferring the new method of the so-called Environmental graduation to the intellectual outputs of this project.
