EO4EDU

Earth Observation for Education (EO4Edu) is an Erasmus+ project that will run from Autumn 2020 until Summer 2023.

EO4Edu will develop resources and provide training for teachers, first and foremost, enabling them to develop lessons within existing curricula that involve all of the components of this project. Training courses will also be developed for instructors in non-school institutions, and students and pupils.

The components of EO4Edu include the principles of remote sensing, geospatial science and satellite Earth Observation (EO). Citizen science is also an important element of the project and, as well as looking at applications for STEM curricula, we also recognise the contribution of the Arts reflected in the consolidation of the term “STEAM Education” and will be developing a physical an online art exhibition as part of the project.

The use of mobile apps on the project, to enable the collection of environmental data, will promote the concept of global citizenship and our collective responsibility for the change required to protect and enhance our shared natural environment. We are particularly interested in developing resources that promote the application of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the curricula. 

University students will contribute to the development and production of our resources, and these will be tested in schools - bridging the gap between background knowledge of the data and technology and the broad range of potential applications across a number of disciplines.
