The main objective of the EduS4EL project is the development of educational activities aimed at promoting behavioral changes in individual and collective choices and consumption habits through innovative strategies and methodologies applied to environmental and climate goals. The specific aim is to sensitize secondary school students to critical aspects of environmental education while improving their ability to assess risk, deal with uncertainty and develop critical thinking on the subject. In particular, all project partners will acquire highly qualified strategies for promoting cultural and behavioral change and will be able to apply these strategies to the understanding of environmental and climate change.
The project will support the dissemination of innovative teaching methods, with a particular focus on improving independent assessment skills. The project will also contribute to strengthening a network of international relations based on a common interest in environmental education, promoting the spread of awareness and the definition of innovative strategies among educational institutions.
PODCAST: INTERVIEW WITH CONSORTIUM LaMMA ( LINK Consortium – Environmental Modelling and Monitoring Laboratory for Sustainable Development)
Catastrophes caused by climate change are inevitable. What mathematical models can do, is predict them with an ever higher degree of reliability. Mathematical models of climate are used to predict extreme situations, but these mathematical models are very complex, based on equations with a large number of variables, and the computers that make the corresponding simulations are powerful.
The Lamma consortium in Florence deals with precisely these issues with Italian scientists from CNR who carry out the modeling and run the simulations.
We have made a podcast that can be useful not only for university students but also for school teachers in the four countries where EduS4EL takes place.
