Summary of Project Output: “Save the World with Your Dreams”
The project result “Save the world with your dreams” has successfully addressed the changing nature and future of learning, teaching, training, and employability skills. Despite the initial challenges, sustainable changes have been planned but also to an extent already been implemented. The dissemination activities, although planned together and made room for, were sometimes inadequate to reach a wider audience. However, the project partners stick together and continue to work on this awareness-raising campaign as we see changes and interest being raised within municipalities, schools, principals, teachers and other stakeholders getting to know/recognise the project. We continue to work for an even more successful and impactful project.
It addressed the transnational problem of acquiring basic knowledge on cross-curricula education and adaptation in a whole-school approach and beyond. Among other things we are now in contact with one of 10 experts in Ocean literacy and will expand on this collaboration and organise for webinars, courses and on site workshops.
The campaign, designed according to the needs and challenges of our society, has been designed to inform and educate people about future skills while tackling climate change. It wants to influence the target audiences’ attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs towards the novel use of interdisciplinary approaches in future-needy skills development.
Further expected Impact: The campaign will build a wider coalition, making the project visible and impactful. It will expand and continue to establish partnerships with other stakeholders at local, national, and international levels to conduct joint awareness-raising activities. These things take time and the project period has been used for building a strong material and a pathway and is now ready to go beyond the project period and continue working with PR5. The campaign will strengthen the power and reach of these partnerships, facilitating the exchange of expertise, knowledge, and strategy among diverse disciplines. It will continue and enlarge the impact area of the project, encouraging students and their teachers to take innovative actions on climate while improving future skills.
The skills and knowledge acquired through the campaign were complemented with governance, legal, and media aspects, and topped with soft skills such as project planning, teamwork, stakeholder engagement, overcoming obstacles, and persuasion. This strengthened the profiles of the partners and influenced schools, NGOs, universities, and VET providers. The awareness-raising campaign has helped the project partners to create a shared framework to lean on after the project endings that will still be our backbone in our continuous work.
Elements of Innovation: The project’s approach is the whole school approach where a school can work only with the material on this platform and together with the students work with in a democratic real-world approach where the students get to collaborate with stakeholders outside of the school and at the same time learn 21st century skills while working on Climate change, incorporating social science components alongside technical and natural-scientific ones and in the end gets to visualise the work of the students for the word through eTwinning and also through the Award Framework where companies and other stakeholders get to see the results of the students work and ideas.
Transferability Potential: The campaign can be seamlessly integrated into different environmental issues, touching on various subjects. The open-access approach and modular design of the plans allow for adaptation to suit different target groups or levels of learners.
