About
The PATHWAYS Framework
The Idea 💡
The adverse impacts of climate change are being experienced on every continent worldwide, including in Europe, and are projected to intensify in the forthcoming decades. Alongside global environmental concerns, each European nation confronts distinct national and local hurdles such as pollution, deforestation, and inadequate waste management.
The PATHWAYS project aims to empower secondary school students to become catalysts for environmental and climate action. This will be achieved by providing ongoing training for teachers and school leaders in environmental sustainability, fostering civic engagement within school communities, and facilitating the sharing of successful practices.The project aligns with various recommendations outlined in the 2022 European Commission’s Proposal for a Council Recommendation on learning for environmental sustainability. Additionally, it is in accordance with significant EU and global agreements and initiatives.
The Objectives ✅️
The project's goals are closely tied to bolstering the ongoing professional growth of secondary school teachers and leaders in environmental sustainability. It aims to inspire students to engage in environmental learning across various subjects and to actively participate in creating initiatives that promote environmental sustainability. Additionally, the objectives include raising awareness and facilitating the exchange of transnational experiences. As a result, these goals are in complete harmony with the designated policy priorities of the Erasmus+ programme.
As part of our strategy, we will:
- Develop the PATHWAYS Digital platform
- Create the PATHWAYS E-Learning Course
- Create a Handbook / Guide for Educators
The project will yield the creation of a distinctive Digital Platform facilitating the sharing of experiences and best practices among students, teachers, and school leaders from various European nations. Additionally, it will produce a comprehensive E-Learning course designed with an interactive approach for teachers and incorporating game-based learning techniques tailored to meet students' needs. These techniques leverage the proven success of game-based learning for young learners, aiming to sustain their motivation towards embracing eco-friendly strategies rooted in real-life scenarios that hold significance for future generations.
