Fundacja Ignatianum coordinates the international project “Kids Lab for Sustainability” (KidsLab4Sus), carried out under Erasmus+ as a cooperation partnership in school education.
The project aims to:
- improve the quality of preschool education through a new curriculum, “STEAM – outdoor education for sustainable development”, published as an open educational resource (OER),
- increase preschool teachers’ competence and confidence in sustainable development with innovative materials combining STEAM and inquiry-based learning,
- train “change leaders” – teachers who promote this approach in their communities and build a support system that helps prevent burnout,
- introduce a module on STEAM and sustainability into university programmes for future preschool teachers (as blended learning).
The project results were presented at dissemination events in Rome, Barcelona, Kraków (26 June 2023) and Milan (26 April 2024), among others.
