Learning in Nature

Project Description

The main objective of this Erasmus project is to increase outdoor learning activities in order to achieve a sustainable way of life and a better quality of education, combat failure and improve students' resilience to better withstand difficulties.

It also aims to contribute to reducing the negative effects of the Covid period and increasing the motivation and performance levels of students, especially those who have fewer opportunities.

On the other hand, it is also a priority for this project to strengthen the professional skills of teachers, so that they can promote more motivating practical classes, with different resources that make classes more attractive and profitable.

With this project, students will:

- be more satisfied, encouraged, integrated and successful;

- have higher quality of teaching and success in classroom activities;

- acquire social, cultural, linguistic and green skills;

- be more concentrated in classes and overcome the adversities of their daily lives more successfully;

- increase and enjoy physical activities outside of the classroom and have opportunities to express oneself;

- be more aware and attentive to nature.

Teachers will:

- learn about new teaching-learning methods involving outdoor, digital and sustainability activities;

- learn more about learning by doing methods;

- integrate new teaching and learning methods in various school subjects;

- have the opportunity to interact with colleagues and learn their best practices;

- assist students in various activities and games in nature together with other students.
