The world is transitioning into towards a greener economy and a more sustainable society. Significantly, the transition will impact existing jobs and create new ones: new competencies are required to step in the direction of the 2050 “Zero Emission” lifestyle”, which involves both the professional and the personal domain, the cognitive and the interpersonal sphere. Education plays a decisive role in promoting active engagement towards much more sustainable practices and lifestyles and represents the first step to building a more sustainable society. Schools are required to help students develop and acquire green skills to be able to face the real-world challenges of the future. The course will clarify how schoolteachers can take action to promote the green skills of their students: environmental awareness, culture for innovation, entrepreneurship, and active communication skills. Participants will realize how school and education can play a key role in promoting green skills and in increasing people's awareness about sustainability. They will learn how to incorporate green skills with design thinking, a problem-solving process that seeks to identify issues and find solutions by focusing on the people and communities it is intended to benefit. Participants will also learn practical strategies to help them prepare for their future.
