The first online coordinator meeting took place this March, uniting partners from various countries to discuss the initiative’s goals and upcoming activities.
Project Overview
The project, part of the KA210-SCH Action Type, aims to empower teachers with knowledge and tools to engage students with nature, combat screen addiction, and promote physical activity. The initiative outlines four key objectives:
Knowledge Development: Equipping teachers with skills to implement nature-based games and activities.
Creative Methods: Enhancing teachers’ ability to foster children’s connections with the natural environment.
Health Awareness: Raising awareness about issues like screen addiction and promoting physical activity among students.
Innovative Learning: Developing new educational methods that leverage natural surroundings to cultivate essential competencies.
Upcoming Mobilities
The project will feature four main mobilities across different countries, each focused on unique aspects of learning in nature:
Play in Nature: A Journey of Discovery (Hungary, Summer 2024): This foundational event will focus on project goals, screen addiction awareness, and fostering communication among diverse participants.
Screen Detox: Creative Art Events (Turkey): This mobility will help teachers combat screen addiction through creative arts, offering hands-on experiences that engage students.
Mathematics in the Natural Environment (Greece): Teachers will explore math through nature, integrating practical activities that promote problem-solving and a love for the environment.
Sustainable Living: Steps Forward in Nature (Romania): This mobility will empower educators with sustainability practices, equipping them to raise awareness among students about conservation and eco-friendly living.
E-Twinning and Educational Innovation
The project will also launch an eTwinning platform led by the Romanian partner, facilitating collaboration and the sharing of resources among educators. Additionally, game-based educational methods will be developed, alongside various digital presentations aimed at enhancing the learning experience.
The online meeting marked an important step in the project’s journey, fostering enthusiasm and collaboration among partners. By working together, the initiative seeks to create a transformative educational experience that prioritizes nature, creativity, and innovation in schools, ultimately helping children thrive away from screens.
