Promote the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) : - Introduce students to modern mapping tools such as Google My Maps and other GIS platforms like QGIS. - Encourage the exploration of geographical, cultural, and environmental data. - Use GIS to visualize sustainability efforts, knowledge of Europe, and its diverse cultural heritage. Encourage reflection on the environment and a sustainable future : - Stimulate critical thinking about climate change, resource management, and ecological impact. - Invite students to reflect on a greener future. Create an ebook, a GIS guide, and a digital atlas : - Develop a collection of lessons (75 PBL lessons) related to sustainability. Each lesson contributes to the creation of a collaborative digital atlas (a sustainable and shareable resource). - Enable everyone to create their own map using the GIS guide. Produce a multilingual and inclusive final outcome - Five European languages are used: French, Romanian, Bulgarian, Italian, and English (the common language of the partnership). - This ensures accessibility, cultural exchange, and a broader impact across partner countries.
We applied because the partner institutions had identified a lack of resources and concrete teaching practices for developing spatial thinking, environmental analysis, and the practical use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in a STEAM context. The identified needs included: - training teachers to tools such as Google My Maps and other GIS platforms like QGIS. - ready-to-use educational scenarios for classroom implementation (PBL method), - transnational activities promoting European openness and cooperation, - enhancing environmental skills through mapping, - producing open and multilingual resources to ensure the sustainability and dissemination of best practices.
