<< Background >>Our consortium consists of partners supporting primary, secondary and VET education in the sustainability field. We work with and for schools on the Sustainable Development Goals. We often do this on behalf of school boards and municipalities, so that the impact we make takes place at regional or national level rather than just sticking to one school. We work on SDG 4 (Quality education), (Sustainable cities and communities(11), (Responsible consumption and production (12) and Climate action (13) by working with students and teachers on contributing activities. For this project, we want to work together to provide a new service to the educational field (primary, secondary and VET), which is to create what we call an amazon.com of providers and service providers to schools in the area of sustainability. As consortium partners we noticed that there is a multitude of providers of sustainable project for education. For example, there are already several labels that a school can achieve, such as ecoschools or the united nation schools. In addition, a multitude of challenges and separate projects exist. But there is no overview of providers, let alone a ranking of quality. We thought there would be a need for this and investigated it. The focus is on the provincial level, given that it is not realistic to map the supply at the national level in three years. We have done research at the provincial level per country among the schools to see if we are right and if there is indeed a need in this area. In the Netherlands we did this in North Brabant, where we spoke to all the schools. Of these schools, 90% indicated that they did not have an overview of sustainability offerings and had this desire. They also confirmed that they would make use of this platform. The other partner, GoodPlanet contacted primary and secondary schools in their network to ask similar questions to verify if this problem is similar in Belgium. This was the case. Declory is a private institute for vocational education. They recognize the issue from their own perspective. With this project we want to start a long-term cooperation with a consortium of European organizations; municipalities and the educational sector to work together on the development of an international platform including training that meet the needs of the sector and simultaneously the linking with the SDGs and other relevant tools.. We fill a needed gap with this platform. To ensure that the products are properly connected to the sector, it is important to examine the needs of the schools within this project. Which requirements are needed of the providers for a school to decide if this is a service that meets their needs? Associated partners of this project, the municipalities, play a key role in the project for input on these subjects. Based on this input the platform is going to be set up and flled. The partners in the project aim to work towards a systematic exchange of providers in the sector between the provinces and schools. In this project we focus on to raise standards of education in sustainability and improve quality of this branch throughout Europe with the goal of having 5 million young climate innovators trained by 2030 in Europe.The project will produce two core project results are:PR1 International online Platform with providers on sustainability for primary and secondary schools. (the amazon.com on sustainability) where they can find the service they need to work on sustainability.PR2 Trainers guide for users and providers<< Objectives >>The overall goal is to contribute to the European Green Deals target of being CO2-neutral by 2050. We achieve our contribution by supporting schools by building a quality online platform which schools can freely use to find providers of sustainability projects programs and/or labels. We're building capacity by capturing our working method which can be duplicated by other regions.We do this by-To organise focus groups in order to identify and focus on specific sustainability providers that best address the needs of the project’s stakeholders.-To map best practices and methodologies applied for schools in partner countries. (What works and why) -To develop a trainers’ guide addressed to the schools and providers that will work with the platform and will design, support and evaluate the platform - Monitoring framework for measurement of use and results.This leads to our two core project results.<< Implementation >>In this project we are mapping initiatives of providers of sustainability projects, programs and or labels for primary schools, secondary schools and VET institutes. This mapping is done in an to be developed International online Platform. A complimentary guide is developed in order for schools and providers to use the platform. When developing the platform we take into account what the end users (Schools) need on information to decide which provider they want to hire. We also take into account that providers can’t share all information because of the unique selling points. Further we build capacity on regional level to ensure our platform is adopted and used in order for our platform to grow.<< Results >>Our project produces two core project results:PR1: International online Platform with providers on sustainability for primary, secondary education and VET institutes (the amazon.com on sustainability) where they can find the service they need to work on sustainability.PR2: Trainers guideThe guide will be addressed to primary and secondary schools and providers of sustainable education in a varia of forms and will include a theoretical background, as well as practical methods on how to implement the platform. Moreover, during the implementation of the PR, seminars for trainers in schools and companies will be organized by project partners, which will contribute to the capacity building of the field. A more detailed description of the Project Results and their results is given in a later section of the proposal.Other results expected during the project:Awareness raising of the importance of sustainability in general. The project partners will carefully design targeted activities to companies in order to collect input for the platform.
