Our project aimed to achieve several objectives: 1. Enhancing the general knowledge of educators, students, and adults about sustainable development goals through digital content on the MOOC platform. 2. Increasing educators' competencies related to SDGs and STEAM by participating in mobilities, conferences and virtual events so that they can create engaging STEAM lessons, use the MOOC platform, generate digital content and gain access to high-quality comprehensive STEAM & SDGs lesson plans that are aligned to curricula 3. Raising awareness of SDGs among all participants through various dissemination activities. 4. Improving trainers' competence in creating interdisciplinary lesson plans on sustainable development goals and STEAM. 5. Enhancing educators' skills in STEM education methods. 6. Engaging 350 participants in digital training via the MOOC platform. 7. Forming 15 SDG ambassadors among teachers, students, and adults. 8. Improving the digital literacy skills of participants. 9. Creating collective awareness among educators, students, and adult groups on environmental issues. 10. Promoting interest and excellence in STEM and the STEAM approach
Through an initial SWOT analysis it became evident that educators (at primary, secondary and tertiary levels) required skill enhancement to integrate SDGs into their teaching. The primary aim was to offer professional development opportunities to educators and foster a green transition, equipping them with competencies, knowledge, and digital tools to address the importance of sustainable development and its associated challenges. We addressed the following needs: - to promote attitude and behaviour changes to combat climate change - empower learners as active agents of change to create a more sustainable society - to engage students in understanding the importance of sustainability and addressing global challenges - to have access to high-quality teaching and learning materials on SDGs that are aligned to the curriculum - fulfil the need for professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their skills in delivering interdisciplinary lessons focused on sustainability.
