Beschrijving

De Schools Goes Green package is a comprehensive educational resource designed around a whole school approach, engaging teachers, teacher educators, school leaders, and researchers.

It includes a multimedia Eco-Glossary featuring small stories, a set of e-learning materials with audio-visual tools such as student presentations, teacher handbooks, and lesson plans, all available in six languages (English, German, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian).

Comprising seven modules, each module provides a teacher’s guide, lesson plans to enhance green competencies, and materials that cater to varying difficulty levels to ensure a logical and incremental progression in learning.

Additionally, the package offers the GoGreen Barometer (https://sgg.erasmus.site/surveys) to assess and improve a school’s environmental performance, along with access to a databank of helpful resources, sources, videos, and tools (https://sgg.erasmus.site/databank).

It also includes a Mapping Tool – Schools Go Green initiative that involves participating organizations.

Aligned with Synapses Academies’ vision, the Schools Goes Green toolkit not only provides lesson plans but also a versatile set of tools to implement sustainable practices effectively in every school, ensuring that all stakeholders are supported in fostering a greener educational environment.
