Project description
Educators face the challenging task of raising awareness about climate change and demonstrating concrete actions for the planet and its future at a time when students are increasingly skipping school. The main goal of the DEED project was to acquire green competencies in vocational teaching using an innovative digital approach.
In recent years, several initiatives have emerged to combat climate change. Their success depends largely on campaigns to raise the environmental awareness of the public, often unaware of such important political agreements, and the development of a culture of climate awareness. Environmental education is teaching citizens and informing them about the causes and effects of climate change.
The DEED project utilized microlearning, thus:
- increasing engagement through various types of media keeping the learner’s attention for a longer period of time;
- promoting peer learning and training strategies in which participants at the same level engage in collaborative learning;
- improving the acquisition of new knowledge.
As a result, an environmental education toolset was developed with the needs of vocational education teachers and their students in mind.
The results of the project are addressed to:
- VET teachers, trainers and school principals, curriculum writers and methodologists
- In-service trainers and in-company trainers
- Vocational education students and young adults

Virtual library with inspiration resources for teachers
