From 19th to 26th February 2023, the CHOICE Consortium gathered in Larissa (Greece) and participated in the Joint Short-Term Training of Trainers (“Train-the-Trainers”) action, which was hosted by the “Diofantos” Institute of Computing & Publishing Technology (ITYE) and was implemented in the framework of the “CHOICE: Citizenship Competences to Tackle Climate Changes” European Research Project. The purpose of the project is to support the development of civic skills in Primary and Secondary Education students, enabling them to contribute to the fight against climate change through the adoption of sustainable behaviors.
The DAISSy Research Group is the Greek partner of the consortium, which consists of a total of eight (8) partners from Italy, Poland, Turkey, Romania and Greece.
During the 6-day “Train-the-Trainers” action, the trainers from the collaborating institutions, i.e. the Institute of Computer Technology & Publications (ITYE) “Diofantos” in collaboration with the DeepBlue Research Center, as well as the Vocational Training Center and Training Consorzio Ro.Ma, coordinated experiential workshops for the fifteen (15) participating teachers from the 16th Primary School of Larissa (Greece), ARC School (Romania), Primary School in Janków Przygodzki (Poland), TEK Secondary School (Turkey) and the Istituto Magistrale Statale Giordano Bruno (Italy) on issues such as climate change and digital tools in the classroom, the use of simulators, games and carbon footprint tools in educational practice, planning and organizing science workshops at school, creating and editing videos, etc.
