Erasmus+ Key Action 1 Fully Funded Training Courses For Adult Education on Environmental Education.

L’ Association Européenne des Enseignants (A.E.D.E.)– Section Grecque/ European Association of Teachers- Greek section in Partnership with OIKO.POLI.S and supported by the Network for Cultural Sustainability

launches Erasmus+ Key Action 1 Fully Funded Training Courses For Adult Education on Environmental Education.

Environmental education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions.

Yet, it does not advocate a particular viewpoint or course of action. Rather, environmental education teaches individuals how to weigh various sides of an issue through critical thinking and it enhances their own problem-solving and decision-making skills.

The aims of the Training Course are adaptable and compatible to the components of environmental education which are:

Awareness and sensitivity to the environment and environmental challenges
Knowledge and understanding of the environment and environmental challenges
Attitudes of concern for the environment and motivation to improve or maintain environmental quality
Skills to identify and help resolve environmental challenges
Participationin activities that lead to the resolution of environmental challenges
