Objective
The EFSUPS proposal aims at the development of further vocational training for child minder and teachers at primary schools. This project will identify and evaluate existing information and already available training material to foster scientific understanding in kindergartens and primary schools based on the education for a sustainable development (ESD). It will focus on "soil" issues. EFSUPS intends to develop the curriculum, simple experiments and practical offers for nature experience.
The EFSUPS project will consider gender-fair didactics. This applies also to the development of gender specific teaching material and experiments. With the development of the teaching materials explicit attention will be paid to avoid reproducing stereotypes. Training seminars for teachers and child minders will be included as well as a compilation and the supply of the necessary materials, devices and aids for soil examinations, planting and animal observations and experiments. By the means of the prepared material, teachers guide and toolbox the experiments can be carried out in every school garden or school green and, in addition, in a the close natural environment of the school or kindergarten.
The developed teachers' guide will be translated into English, German, French, Spanish, Romanian and Hungarian and made available on a website.
The core dissemination of project results will be accompanied by the "Eurokids - the Ground Explorers", a working group formed by pupils from participating kindergartens and primary schools, exchanging their experiences in small articles, photo series or videos.
The exchange of information on a school and pupil level gives the European dimension of soil problems an education oriented platform and fosters multidisciplinary and inter-cultural competences. Three national workshops - one in each participating country - support the dissemination of the results.
