About this course
Going digital for the environment carries a cost it rarely mentions. This week uses GreenComp, the EU’s sustainability competence framework, to work that tension on the objects every school already owns. Monday — you work the e-waste figures and map your own teaching onto GreenComp’s four areas. Tuesday — you sort real environmental claims into…
Methodology
One GreenComp area per day
The week follows the four competence areas of the European sustainability competence framework in the order the framework sets them, so each day builds on a named capability rather than a topic heading.
Evidence before opinion
Environmental claims are checked against real instruments — satellite imagery, air quality data, biodiversity records — rather than discussed in the abstract.
The device in your hand is the case study
The environmental cost of digital technology is examined on the objects participants and their students already own, not on distant industrial examples.
Claims get tested, not applauded
Projects built during the week close with an attempt to falsify their own environmental claim, which is how a classroom project survives contact with a sceptical student.
What you'll take home
Use the four GreenComp areas as a common vocabulary for what a sustainability-competent learner can do, and locate your own lessons within them.
Explain where a digital device's environmental cost sits across its life, from materials to disposal, using current e-waste figures rather than impressions.
Read environmental evidence for your own locality using Copernicus satellite imagery, European air quality data and citizen-science biodiversity records.
Separate an environmental claim that evidence supports from one that only sounds right, and teach students to do the same.
Identify what a teacher, a class and a school can each realistically change about the devices they use, and what the EU repair rules now entitle a consumer to.
Leave with a class project on digitalization and environment, and with the record of what happened when the group tried to break its central claim.
