Digitāli klimatam

Description

"<< Background >>The project will establish international cooperation to contribute to the raising awareness of two global issues - the fight against climate change and digital transformation.Technological developments are very rapid, so it is important to look at the links between their achievements and climate change. As society moves forward, the process of environmental degradation should be concidered, so the idea of our project is to help solve environmental problems by educating teachers and students, using the latest technologies.Scientists have warned that climate change is already a reality, not a future, and that most of the world's population has suffered from the effects of climate change. Climate change is one of the greatest threats to our environment, our social environment and our economy. The effects of climate change are already visible and are expected to become even more threatening. Extreme weather events, including heat waves, droughts and floods, are expected to become more frequent and severe. Knowledge is the basis of human attitudes and behavior. If a person knows and understands the processes, then he develops his own attitude and he is able to get involved in them. He develops a common understanding of the environment. Knowledge must be linked to global development perspectives. It is not enough for people to know and understand environmental problems. Everyone makes an indirect choice for their future through their actions towards the environment.Gaining knowledge and raising awareness of environmental sustainability and climate policy is important for the whole society.The target audience of our project is teachers who work with primary school students, who, in turn, are a generation with the opportunity to acquire the necessary competencies from childhood to learn to take responsibility for their actions in the environment and a healthy environment on a global scale.The growing amount of information and the rapid development of modern technologies determine the need to bring about changes in pedagogical work and teaching process at all levels of education. Therefore, the use of various digital learning tools in the pedagogical process is becoming more important in order to promote that students not only acquire the necessary knowledge, but also become active participants in the learning process and creators of new innovations and it can be promoted by preparing students for life in digital environment.Our project aims to create a high-quality digital learning tool on climate change that will provide knowledge, raise awareness of environmental sustainability and promote digital literacy for both primary and secondary education teachers and primary school students.<< Objectives >>The project aims to develop and promote a digital learning tool on climate change that will provide knowledge, raise awareness of environmental sustainability and promote digital literacy. The tool will support teachers when educating primary school students about the dangerous effects of climate change on Earth, developing a caring attitude towards nature, making them become aware of the consequences of their daily actions, encouraging them to live more environmentally friendly. The result of the project will provide teachers and students with access to high-quality and easy-to-use digital learning resource on environmental sustainability, as well as support educators in the use of information and communication technologies in face-to-face and distance learning.Implementing the project results, an international network will be established between the project partner organizations and educational institutions, which will use the digital learning tool on climate and climate change. The digital learning tool will emphasize the idea of unity and community to show that we are all united in a global family. This is the only way to work effectively to create a healthy environment for all living creatures on the planet.The digital learning tool is aimed at promoting a conscious attitude and enriching knowledge about the current state of the environment, in order to unite students, teachers, organizations from partner countries.Environmental sustainability is a complex and long-term process. Concrete results may be visible after several years, but the environmental education process must take place at all levels of education. The target audience of our project is primary school teachers and students who have a strong sense of the environment and the educational process is important to avoid losing it. In this way, children will continue the process of environmental awareness, will also influence their parents, and the circle of people interested in environmental issues will expand.<< Implementation >>During the project, trainings will be organized for a group of teachers-researchers to provide the necessary support for the development of project results. The project team will learn from good practice in the project countries, improve their knowledge of environmental sustainability issues and develop their skills in using IT tools. The training will take place in three sessions in Latvia, Croatia and Lithuania.During the project, three important project results will be developed:1) Curriculum ""Climate and its change"";2) Guidelines for teachers;3) Digital learning tool ""Climate and its change"".The materials will be posted on the open access platform in Latvian, Lithuanian, Croatian and English languages.Teaching materials will be piloted and a network of students and teachers, organizations will be established in the piloting process to share experiences on the use of digital learning tools, learning about climate and its change.Project results dissemination events will be organized - workshops for teachers in Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia to introduce the digital learning tool and its most successful use in both distance and face-to-face teaching process.<< Results >>The project will develop and promote three important results:1) Curriculum ""Climate and its change"";2) Guidelines for teachers;3) Digital learning tool ""Climate and its change"".The materials will be posted on the open access platform in Latvian, Lithuanian, Croatian and English.Dissemination events of the project results will be organized – workshops for teachers in Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia.Project organizations will have gained new experience in international cooperation, increased their capacity to create and implement innovative results, as well as contributed to solving topical issues - environmental sustainability and digital transformation."
