Being an Active Citizen for Climate Change
In recent years, the deterioration of the ecosystem with anthropogenic effects and accordingly environmental events such as global warming, greenhouse effect, depletion of the ozone layer and climate changes have increased rapidly. Parallel to this, it has become an increasingly common view that education is the leading solution for raising environmental awareness. In particular, raising individuals at the desired level in solving environmental problems that concern all societies can only be realized with the importance given to environmental education. Environmental problems do not concern only one region of our planet or a particular country, but the whole world. Therefore, environmental education becomes an integral part of the education program of every country.
Steam: A New Approach to Learning
STEAM is a learning approach that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics as access points to guide students’ inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking.
Thanks to the developing technology, the traditional working environment is changing and new jobs are emerging every day.
Students are changing the way they learn, connect and interact every day. The skills students develop through STEM provide the foundations for success in school and beyond. In addition, employer demand for STEM qualifications and skills is high and will continue to increase in the future.
Through STEM, students develop core skills, including:
Problem solving
Creativity
Critical analysis
Team work
Independent thinking
Attempt
Communication
Digital literacy
With this course, you will encourage students to STEM career fields and connect the topics with real-life problems, get innovative ideas for hands-on activities, and have the chance to gain insight into STEM teaching methods and their application. It is an ideal training course for those who teach STEAM or want to integrate the STEAM approach into their curriculum. In addition, the skills and interdisciplinary work habits aimed with this course will support personal development in other areas as well.
Environmental Sustainability and Education
Today’s world includes a range of environmental problems such as depletion of natural resources, air, water and soil pollution, climate change, resource waste, and loss of biodiversity. These problems can lead to the disruption of natural ecosystems, the exacerbation of global issues like climate change, and harmful consequences for human health.
As a result, various risks arise for the future of the world, including:
- Decrease in water resources
- Food security issues
- Natural disasters
- Loss of biodiversity
These problems require governments, private sector, and individuals worldwide to increase awareness of environmental issues and develop solutions. This may involve measures such as investing in renewable energy sources, working towards more sustainable use of resources, reducing waste production and increasing recycling. In this way, a more sustainable world can be created for future generations.
This Erasmus+ course on environmental sustainability and education is aimed at teachers and education staff who want to improve their knowledge and skills in this field and leave a livable world to future generations. With this course, you will have the opportunity to learn what environmental sustainability is, its basic concepts, how it affects people, what it means for the future, what can be done in education, what innovative approaches are, and see sample schools and classrooms.
As an educator, environmental sustainability education can provide many benefits for our students, including better understanding of the environment, a more sensitive approach to the environment, sustainable lifestyles, innovation, and new applications. This way, we can fulfill our responsibility and contribute to a livable future.
Inclusive Education and Special Needs
Inclusive education is the most effective way to give all children a fair chance to go to school, learn and develop the skills they need to thrive. Inclusive education means all children in the same classes and schools. This means real learning opportunities for traditionally excluded groups, not only for children with disabilities but also for speakers of minority languages.
