Name: Environmental Sustainability And Education
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Aligned with the Erasmus+ horizontal priority: Green & Environmental Sustainability.

The Erasmus+ Programme Guide names environment and climate action as a horizontal priority, stating that Erasmus+ is "a key instrument for building knowledge, skills, and attitudes on climate change and supporting sustainable development within the European Union and beyond" (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Part A – Priorities of the Erasmus Programme).

Overview

Sustainability shows up everywhere in the curriculum: science, geography, even language classes. What’s usually missing is training in how to teach it well, rather than just adding another module.

UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) framework is the UN’s own roadmap for embedding sustainability into education systems worldwide, and one of its five priority action areas is building the capacity of educators themselves. That is the gap this course fills: not a single sustainability project, but the underlying teaching methods that make any sustainability topic land.

Participants work across the three footprints that make sustainability measurable for students (ecological, carbon and water) before moving into real green technologies and solutions they can bring into class. The course closes with participants designing their own in-class sustainability activities, built for their own students rather than a generic template.

Since the course opens with each participant presenting their own school, what they finish with is already adapted to their real teaching context: a set of footprint-based classroom activities and a working knowledge of the green technologies worth teaching.

Methodology

Discussion & Idea Exchange

Interactive sessions and idea exchange help you translate sustainability concepts into concrete classroom activities.

Real Project Examples

Exemplary sustainability projects show you what's possible before you design your own.

Classroom-Ready Activities

You leave with in-class activities and strategies designed specifically for your own students.

Explain the causes, effects and key concepts of environmental problems and global sustainability.

Apply sustainability strategies, technologies and practices in your teaching.

Design classroom activities that build students' ecological, carbon and water footprint awareness.

Develop and manage sustainable environmental projects with your students.

Issuance of the Course Participation Certificate

Please note: classes run in the morning or afternoon at the trainer's discretion, and daily timings can shift depending on the trainer's plan and the group's needs. If you'd like a specific topic covered, let us know when you apply — the confirmed day-by-day schedule is sent to registered participants ahead of the course.

Certificate: we issue the Certificate of Attendance to everyone who's present for at least 80% of the course — tracked with the daily sign-in sheet (see Certificate & assessment).

Equipment: a few of our courses ask participants to bring a laptop — check the day-by-day programme above, or ask us if you're not sure.

Need a formal invoice or proforma for your school's records? Ask us — we issue official invoices with the participant's name and course details.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

Environmental Sustainability And Education · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Sustainability & Environment course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.

After the course

Participants will receive their certificates (Certificate of Attendance + Europass).

Participants will complete a general course evaluation and event survey.

Participants will receive course materials, videos, photos, and PDF documents in both digital and print formats.

Follow-up support: an email group is created for idea exchange, self-evaluation materials are provided, and participants receive a follow-up check-in after 3 months to discuss progress on applying environmental sustainability activities in their own classrooms.

Frequently asked

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories.
