People living near active volcanoes can play a vital role in the monitoring and management of environmental hazards. Citizen science has been one of the most effective and exciting applications of crowdsourcing, with a whole heap of fascinating projects benefiting from pulling the crowd of enthusiastic amateurs into their endeavours. Whilst many of these projects have important goals in mind, there is one that has arguably a more important outcome than most. Citizen science projects that use low
The international project Dark Skies Rangers (DSR) aims to combat the problem of light pollution, by raising awareness among the educational community and local authorities to change lighting systems and preserve the night sky. DSR goals: To fight bad quality outdoor lighting and wasting of energy; To decrease public costs with lighting, while at the same time promoting an increase on the quality of life both for humans and the wildlife; To increase the security on the local

Islands Diversity for Science Education is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Agency of the European Union, that aims to integrate science research in classrooms located in Islands across the world, through the Design Thinking methodology. By using a collaborative inquiry approach and an interdisciplinary pedagogical model that integrates students personal geography, students will invest in research that is relevant to their local communities. The final outcome will be in the form of a science
A Comunidade LfE Portugal reune todos os participantes de escolas portuguesas no projeto Learning from the Extremes de forma a poderem caminhar juntos nesta aventura, apoiando-se uns aos outros, partilhando experiências e recursos.
Learning from the Extremes is a European Union´s Horizon Framework Program for Preparatory Action - Increasing access to educational tools in areas and communities with low connectivity or access to technologies. The project addresses inequalities of access to digital education by enhancing inclusion and by reducing the digital gap suffered by school communities from remote areas with low connectivity, limited or no access to devices and digital educational tools and content.
