Description

Due to the environmental crisis we are currently facing, it has become a priority to educate and make people aware of the necessity to change personal, educational, and community practices. Teachers have the power to educate younger generations. So, they must have the suitable training to inspire their students to be the change our world needs now more than ever! This course is a transformative learning experience crafted to empower educators with the skills and resources required to incorporate environmental education into their schools. This training is practical, fun, and has an excellent friendship and kindness atmosphere!

Learning objectives

– Be aware of environmental issues to act as facilitating agents for their students, inspiring the participation of the educational community in solving environmental problems.



– Acquisition of knowledge in the field of environmental education for sustainable development:

  • Concepts of environmental sustainability;
  • Evidence-based information and statistics about environmental problems;
  • Importance of the efficient use of natural and manufactured resources and minimization of pollution and waste production;
  • The impact of every action on the environment;
  • Two types of economy: linear and circular economy and comprehension of the life cycle of consumer goods;
  • The 6 R’s of the environment (Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot) as a tool to simplify environmental education. 

– Be able to promote the research, sharing, and application of creative strategies in an educational context that promote environmental sustainability:

  • Educational tools and resources, including evidence-based information, statistics, videos, and practical exercises in the field of environmental education that teachers can adapt to their context;
  • Creation of environmental education activities and their use in educational contexts inside and outside the classroom;
  • Reflection in large groups and subgroups, according to their subject areas and educational levels, on the best strategies for children and young people to experience and acquire environmental awareness skills.

– Learn how to lead the path from environmental awareness to action:

  • Empowering teachers to do “hands-on” upcycling (creative reuse) low-budget activities. These activities using recycled materials will act as a starting point for ongoing work to raise awareness in children and young people about environmental issues;
  • Real examples of how to change consumption patterns and reduce waste production.

Methodology & assessment

Instead of a fear-based discourse, we consider a solution-based approach much more successful. So, participants will experience a practical and action-oriented course with many clear solutions to implement and hands-on activities, outdoor activities, visits to different places around Lisbon to discover super inspiring projects, and lots of sharing moments. We will provide the teachers with a peaceful environment of awareness where environmental problems are talked about lightheartedly, with no judgments or pressure. Our motto is that the world needs millions of imperfect environmentalists fighting for our planet with small everyday actions. Each person does what they can within their life dynamics. All our actions impact the world, no matter how small they are.

Certification details

At the end of the course, each participant will get a certificate of attendance and the Europass Mobility certificate.
