Earthucation – Enough for all?! (Earth Education) European Schools for Sustainability and Sufficiency

Our current economy is based on total consumption of resources and constant growth. But the crisis has shown that this global capitalist system has taken a hit and is also vulnerable. What is often forgotten is: the environment. Therefore, our project wants to use the crisis as a chance to scrutinize our values. It teaches us that we need to slow down in order to preserve Creation and that less is more. As a consequence, our project aims at SUFFICIENCY. Being aware of the interconnections between 1) physical & psychological well-being of the individual 2) environmental protection 3) consumerism. The project covers the following objectives: 1) to raise awareness of environmental & social issues & solutions; 2) to educate about sustainability, mindfulness & sufficiency & to relate European school curricula to these concepts; 3) to boost environmentally friendly habits to reduce our ecological footprint; 4) to create & try out new teaching methods that are relevant for today's students.
