Due to the pandemic, we were not able to meet in person in Greece in October 2020 for our scheduled C1 Kick off meeting for teachers. Despite the circumstances, we decided to start our project at all the schools of the partnership; consequently we arranged to hold the scheduled custom made Teachers' Training workshop by NGO Aeiforum online on 11/12/20202 and 11/1/2021.
The webinar focused on the following topics:
- Sustainability and Education for Sustainability
- Whole school approach and Project based learning: Teaching and Learning Approaches
- Implementation
- Sustainable School Label for schools as R4MAD partners.
The insight gained will further assist and support them in identifying needs and planning actions and activities, tools and methodology in more detail regarding both classroom work and field work related to the project.
It was attended by the Coordinators and the pedagogical teams of all partner schools, who were happy to see each other and work together even if it was on the screen.
To assist with the process of material, evaluation and questionnaires design, participants will attend Teachers' Training custom made workshop by NGO Aeiforum, experts on the field of Education for Sustainability. Its topic will be a Sustainable School Indicators Set, a tool to monitor the shift of each school towards sustainability in 3 domains: the pedagogical domain, the social and organisational domain and the environmental-economic-technical domain. This is also a tool to monitor and coordinate partner school activities during the project and the data gathered can be used for applying for a Sustainable School Label for each school and for the partnership project. The label is awarded by ICT UNESCO Chair at the University of Crete.
