The main objective has been to design and promote an educational project aimed at addressing wildlife and environmental conservation with a global perspective, emphasizing collaboration and knowledge exchange among different countries, societies, cultures, habitats, and landscapes. This project has been developed using the CTIAM methodology (STEAM in English) and is built around an engaging theme: the actual journeys undertaken by migratory birds (tracked by telemetry).Using the information provided by this tracks the participants have created the final outcome: the "Travel Journals." Other objectives include: ● Establishing a collaborative team between Spain and Italy, extending to other centers and platforms within the Erasmus+ network. ● Designing a website filled with shared experiences and high-quality educational materials suitable for diverse audiences with future use in mind. ● Promoting digitization and cooperation among educational centers. ● Reflecting on and addressing the human impact on biodiversity. ● Enhancing knowledge about biodiversity, the magnificent characteristics of its species, and the diverse landscapes, geography, and cultures encountered along their migratory routes.
We were aware of the enormous potential of raptor migratory journeys to use them as a guiding thread for educational and training activities, working from a multidisciplinary, innovative, creative, motivating, collaborative, scientific and discovery-oriented perspective. Showcasing natural and cultural landscapes, connecting regions, uniting environmental issues, as well as concerns to find solutions. We also thought that this project could represent a contribution to: - The development of digital skills and competencies for sustainable teaching and learning - The implementation of methodologies such as project-based learning and STEAM activities - Actions involving participants in knowledge and habits that help mitigate climate change and shape a more sustainable lifestyle - Lifelong learning within formal and non-formal education. We needed this initial boost to kickstart and carry out this project, to later unleash its potential from our own educational programs.
