ELVE – Environmental Learning based on Values Education from Early Childhood

Duration: 01/11/2020 – 31/12/2022

Project_ELVE.png

Everybody should be conscious of the damage we are causing to our planet: what happens in one part of it is affecting the entire world. Today’s serious problems can be reduced or solved by starting early education in sustainability and environmental issues. In this context the teaching staff is directly responsible for our childrens‘ education.

Aiming at lifelong prosperity, environmental education helps students understand how their decisions and actions affect the environment, builds knowledge and skills necessary to address complex environmental issues, as well as ways we can take action to preserve our environment for future generations.

The ELVE project is focused on early childhood, because learning begins even before the child walks through the classroom door. Early childhood upbringing and education are the basis of lifelong learning.

"SUPER RIGHTEOUS" - CRITICAL OPINION FOR  KNOWING AND RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS

(PHILOSOPHICAL LEARNING ON HUMAN RIGHTS APPLIED TO PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA)

CRO. “SUPERPRAVEDNICI” – KRITIČKIM MIŠLJENJEM DO SPOZNAJE I POŠTIVANJA LJUDSKIH PRAVA
(FILOZOFSKO UČENJE O LJUDSKIM PRAVIMA PRIMIJENJENO NA UČENIKE OSNOVNIH ŠKOLA RH)

Duration: 01/12/2021 – 31/08/2022

The project "Super Righteous" is guided by the idea of ​​how to encourage children to learn and respect human rights through various learning strategies related to the development of critical thinking. The inspiration of this project is based on important principles of philosophy with children, which as such can broaden their horizons and help them develop their own opinions, reflect on their daily lives, encourage them to express their questions, stimulate them to seek answers, help them to express concern for values ​​that are important to all. Philosophy with children encourages the use of language in reasoning to speak and write more clearly, and most importantly, they learn togetherness from childhood, because together, with other participants and teachers, they come to answers to questions that bother them. That is why the theme of human rights is ideal as a topic in philosophy programs and workshops with children. In addition, we see the importance of the implementation of the "Super Righteous" project in the promotion of equality, development of democratic principles, tolerance and coexistence in diversity. Also, the benefits of the project will be represented through workshops, and through various targeted materials will help children develop critical thinking, awareness of the need to respect and actively advocate for human rights, encourage them to think more deeply about them, develop vocabulary, develop social skills and future civic engagements. The implementation of the project will be realized in eight partner schools as well as in the partner library, and feedback, in terms of acceptability and quality of the project, will be implemented through evaluations by students and teachers / performers. In order to stimulate the greatest possible interest, but also to enable the best possible implementation, the idea of ​​the project will be presented through media promotions. The creation of a manual / guide for teachers - "Super Righteous", in the development of which the project contractors will participate, will enable primary school teachers to implement the project themselves in the future.

comet – A community of Ethics teachers in Europe

Duration: 01/09/2017 - 31/08/2020

Capture.JPG

Ethics education plays an integral role in the fostering of European values. However, the subject of ethics is studied in schools within a wide variety of curricula across Europe, ranging from moral philosophy and religious education to world view education and general philosophy. This fragmentation of curricula, along with a fragmentation of pedagogical methods and goals, inhibits the opportunities for exchanges of best practices and mutual learning, which are two of the objectives of the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET2020). The Community of Ethics Teachers in Europe aims at overcoming these curricular differences through digital innovation, in order to promote the acquisition of skills and competences of European ethics teachers.

Project coordinator:

Partners:

Goals:

  • Map the various ethics curricula in European secondary schools by means of an online interactive platform

  • Share different approaches to teaching ethics

  • Improve teaching practices in Europe

  • Research the various European ethics curricula by categorizing the different approaches

Main activities:

  • Research curriculum materials of the participating countries using so-called mixed-methods methodology

  • Develop multilingual 'Ethics Teachers' Visual Toolkit' that can be used in ethics classes throughout Europe

  • Establish a network of ethics teachers in Europe

Target groups:

BEAGLE

BIOETHICAL EDUCATION AND ATTITUDE GUIDANCE
FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Duration: 03/09/2018 – 02/09/2020

LogoBeagleProject.jpg

Bioethical Education and Attitude Guidance for Living Environment or BEAGLE is a bioethical project funded and approved by the European Union, which brings together international partners from the Mediterranean Pool with the aim of promoting open education and innovative educational practices. The idea that drives this project forward is that recent rapid development of technology requires a new approach to teaching – education systems and professors are struggling to keep up with new technical capabilities, and the purpose of the project is to provide educators with a methodological framework and guidelines that will help them with introducing innovative practices in the contemporary environment. On the other hand, same as teachers, students are trying to keep up with the contemporary surroundings, surroundings which suppress the relationship with the environment, more precisely with the nature. BEAGLE's partners are motivated to believe that bioethical values ​​and critical thinking are crucial elements, now more than ever, of the development of a democratic, pluralistic, ecologically aware open society, which is why the focus of general education should be shifted on these elements. The BEAGLE project, therefore, as the primary user of this project sees students (6 to 18 years old) equally as teachers.
