Developing sustainability skills for secondary school teachers through educational technology
Developing sustainability skills for secondary school teachers through educational technology
About the project
The international project “Education Technology as a Contributor to Sustainability Skills” aims to support the development of sustainability skills in the Visegrad (V4) countries through modern pedagogical and educational technology (EdTech) approaches.
The project is implemented by the HEPA Hungarian Export Promotion Agency with three partners: the Education:Next Educational Technology Association (Hungary), the Institute for the Innovation of Education (Slovakia) and Maker Faire Czech Republic (Czech Republic).
The project aims to bridge education, technological innovation and sustainability, while strengthening the network of educational actors in the region. Sustainability is now not only an environmental but also an economic and social issue, and education systems have a key role to play in equipping young people with the green competences to become informed decision-makers, systemic thinkers and active citizens. The project will support this approach, with a particular focus on methodological and technological training for teachers.
One of the main pillars of the programme is a 30-hour blended teacher training course, which builds on STEAM and SEEQS approaches in addition to the theoretical and practical aspects of sustainability. The pilot training has resulted in an accreditation-ready teacher training curriculum that can be freely adapted for use in other countries’ educational environments.
The e-book
One of the results of the project is this e-book entitled Developing Sustainability Skills through Educational Technology, which presents in detail the themes, methodological background, good practices, and Edtech companies and solutions from the V4 countries participating in the project.
