Requirements of the proposal structured in groups. Labelled to identify them in following slides G3 G1 G2 - - - - - Citizens & consumers Education Awareness raising Citizen Science Observation and monitoring environmental impact Civic engagement Social innovation - directly involve citizens and communities to change their personal behavior reducing their carbon and environmental footprint taking action at the individual and collective level - - strengthening environmental awareness the young generation through education and other forms of youth engagement sharing their knowledge, experience and engagement with their families, local communities, public and private decision makers, as well as through communication and the use of social media - - - - - - G4 G5 G6 - - schools, training institutions and universities European competence framework is needed to help develop and assess knowledge, skills and attitudes on climate change and sustainable development demonstration activities on for example nature-based solutions, biodiversity conservation, waste management, sustainable energy production and consumption, marine science, etc. will support the testing and the implementation - Citizen science should be understood broadly, covering a range of different levels of participation - help to raise awareness, to educate in science, to increase understanding of scientific processes and scientific literacy new tools and data for environmental monitoring covering a broad European geography - - Citizen science activities should be based on a robust scientific methodology ensuring the quality of the data collected and a fair representation of all stakeholders involved - -
Requirements of the proposal structured in groups. Named to identify them in following slides G8 G7 SC1 - European Ocean Literacy platform [4], the European Atlas of the Seas [5], the Plastic Pirates initiative[6], the citizen science platform[7], the Horizon 2020 project TeRRIFICA[8], Scientix[9], School Education Gateway[10], resources for nature-based solutions in education[11], UNESCO experience in Education for Sustainable Development[12], as well as cultural, creative and artistic activities as a tool for empowering citizens. - The proposed activities will build on existing initiatives and practices innovation in teaching and learning methods and how to engage the wider community in the changes needed for a successful and just transition - actions will foster the development and implementation of a multidisciplinary European competence framework within the context of lifelong learning for the development and assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes of citizens and in particular young people on climate change and sustainable development - SC4 SC2 - European competence framework will be tested and validated through demonstration activities, in particular in schools, training institutions and universities as for example through the implementation of nature-based solutions (e.g. green walls, green ponds for natural water filtering, green roofs, air quality sensors, green mobility, etc.), actions for biodiversity conservation, education on natural disasters, waste management including marine and riverside litter, sustainable energy and food production and consumption, educational activities supporting the refurbishment of school buildings, etc. - shall be built on the best available research and rooted in the Council Recommendation on Key Competences for lifelong learning SC3 - clustering activities among the selected projects should be ensured through regular exchanges - contributions and practical knowledge provided by non-academic practitioners, NGOs and stakeholders, and international best practices, will be important
