Objectives

With the realisation of the project "Nature is Children's Future", the following objectives were sought to be achieved: To promote a greater connection and appreciation for nature among the children and young people participating in the project. To develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) skills in students, inspired by the study and conservation of the environment. To foster critical and innovative thinking in participants, enabling them to address complex environmental and social problems. To increase students' interest in careers and professional opportunities related to environmental science and conservation. Establish new ways of teaching and learning that integrate STEAM concepts with the study and protection of nature, making them more engaging and relevant to students. Strengthen collaborations and partnerships between educational institutions, environmental organisations and other stakeholders to improve environmental education and promote sustainability. To boost the personal development and environmental awareness of participants, preparing them to become responsible citizens committed to environmental protection.

Background

We have applied for this Erasmus+ project with the aim of promoting international cooperation and exchange of knowledge and good practices in the field of education. This project offers us the opportunity to strengthen our relationships with educational institutions in other countries, improve our linguistic and cultural skills, and develop new teaching and learning methodologies. The project was requested to address children's disconnection with nature and promote STEAM education. Needs included fostering critical, innovative skills and interest in STEAM careers, as well as strengthening partnerships to improve environmental education.
