Course Description
It is obvious that climate change has had an impact on our lives. The importance of environmental education is now almost universal. As professional educators, we need to teach our students how to implement a more sustainable lifestyle.
First and foremost, we as educators need to be aware of how we can integrate environmental education into our everyday work. Keeping up with the latest educational trends, we must promote the optimal development of our pupils. In addition to the opportunities offered by technology, we must also experience the possibilities offered by traditional, analogue teaching-learning methods.
Objectives
– the legal and professional context of environmental education in different parts of the EU,
– different methodological options for environmental education,
– developing an educational plan/project,
– learning about the possibilities offered by technology,
– effective use of traditional methods and opportunities,
– learning about formal, informal and non-formal learning opportunities
Target Group
This course is designed for educators of all levels as well as individuals interested in this topic.
Learning Outcomes
