- strengthen their students competences about exploiting local natural environment resources and environmental footprint
- participate in school networks that provides good practices in helping students implementing in RRI (Responsible Research & Innovation) activities
- develop and enhance cross-cultural understanding and cooperation among teachers from different countries
It consists in total of at least 27 hours of workshop-based training, such as presentations followed by hands-on sessions (12 hours of lectures and demonstrations, 15 hours of hands-on workshops). The course is designed to be highly engaging and interactive. Participating teachers will work individually and in small groups and thus will be able to collaborate with teachers from other countries, discuss ideas and exchange experiences. Learning by doing is our leading principle. This means that the training is organized in such a way that the participants cooperate actively in outdoor activities, group work as well as in plenary sessions.
