Educational Resources

While STEAM Education offers diverse, experiential learning, to foster environmentally conscious school communities, it’s crucial to integrate sustainability into this educational process. This approach benefits educational quality and future sustainable societies.

The EcoSTEAM project aims to develop the EcoSTEAM e-Teaching Programme, essential for formal and non-formal educators to incorporate environmental teaching approaches into STEAM activities. This program serves two goals:

Integrating STEAM and Environmental Education: STEAM activities are suggested that focus on environmental awareness in both formal and non-formal educational contexts. These activities are categorized into five main topics, each divided into four subtopics, and are available to website visitors in the “Educational Resources” section.

Improving Educators’ Tools: STEAM educators can be equipped with the necessary tools and methods to continuously improve and elevate their teaching quality and their professional process.

The Learning Concept aligns with future EcoSTEAM deliverables, acting as a bridge between teaching strategies and the development of educational content. Key topics of this concept include the integration of STEAM and environmental education.

Module 1: Fundamentals of instructional design in STEAM Learning & Education

Module 2: Integrating and developing environmental awareness and ecological literacy through STEAM

Module 3: Fostering communities of practice amongst STEAM educators and STEAM students

Module 4: Nurturing STEAM professionals of the future – from theory to practice
