The project aimed to facilitate teachers' use of learning based on (i) play, (ii) learning by doing, and (iii) collaboration and co-construction, with methodologies adaptable to different school levels and national programs. The first thematic focus is environment and climate, supporting education in awareness of environmental challenges and climate change mitigation through connecting with the value of community and proximity landscape, incorporating in our everyday world actions to increase sustainability, and supporting circular economy, food sovereignty and the creation of effective/affective rural/urban channels. Another main objective was related to strengthening social and civic competences, which are basic skills and competences described by the European Commission (Rec. 2006/962/EC on key competences for lifelong learning), by promoting shared values, civic engagement, participation and intergenerational connection.
(i) To provide teachers with useful methodologies for learning about ecosocial competence and connecting schools to the surrounding landscape that can be easily integrated into school curricula. (ii) To better link territorial actors and communities with young students, rethinking public action and the role of students as managers of the future. And (iii) to implement citizen participation, as called for by the European Landscape Convention, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2015), the UNESCO Global Action Program (GAP), the Faro Convention and the European Network for Rural Development. According to them, the best way to raise awareness is to involve the learner in the learning process, applying the principle of understanding the global but acting locally. The project contributes to a pedagogy of "learning by doing" and co-construction for sustainability and intercultural education in the 21st century, developing tools that can be implemented as transversal knowledge in secondary education and for citizenship.
