Partnership for geo-education

Description

"""Partnership for geo-education"" is a project of collaboration between four non-governmental organizations from four different corners of Europe: Poland, Portugal, Iceland and Croatia. Despite different geographical and cultural contexts we have at least one thing in common: we work towards developing knowledge and awareness about natural values of our regions through education. Our regions are renowned for their geological interest, therefore have become subjects of geo-education.Our most important goal wa this project was to equip the adults of non-formal teaching professions (educators, trainers, guides) in knowledge, experience and methods for conducting interesting field-trips, complexly describing natural phenomena. This project focuses on outdoor geo-education, which can be much more satisfying to participants as it allows to see and touch the described phenomena. We want to base this education on local natural values, especially geology, because we believe that pupils (whatever the age) understand natural science best, when it is relevant to their everyday experience.The project activities included four international trainings (consisting of workshops and field trips) for project participants (trainers, educators, guides) and appointing an international team of experts to establish a field-trip geo-education methodology. The Methodology was prepared by a team of university professors, expert trainers and practitionners in education. It consists of a collection of experiences and good practices in leading and promoting geo-education from the four countries and a collection of 16 field trip scenarios that can be freely re-adapted and used by educators all around Europe. The Methodology is available under the Creative Commons License in English and four local languages.The project involved as many as 74 people of different bacgrounds and professions, but all working towards the development of their regions. They participated in the international project meetings and trainings and thanks to the project broadened their knowledge in geo-sciences and ways and means to promote it through geo-education.The project ended with multiplier events - conference and a field-trip in Poland and 3 local conferences in Portugal, Iceland and Croatia."
