Growing Green Partners Introduce Teachers to the Manual and the Game, based on the “Lego Serious Play” Methodology, to Promote Circular Culture and Green Entrepreneurship in Europe
Growing Green project. The primary purpose of this activity was to reinforce competencies related to green and sustainable entrepreneurship in vocational training (VT) teachers of various nationalities and specialties so that they can convey the values of the circular economy and green entrepreneurship to their students. Participants included teachers from Salesianos Urnieta and Jesuitak Indautxu. Over the four-day event, alongside teachers from Slovenia, Italy, and Denmark, they had access to the materials generated within the framework of the project (which will soon be available to everyone through its website www.growing-green.eu), using the manuals and, specially, the “Growing Green” circular economy and entrepreneurship game. This game, developed by the project’s partners, incorporates the latest trends in gamification and Lego Serious Play. It allows teachers to instill the values of sustainability and the circular economy in their students, showing them that green entrepreneurship is not only feasible but can also be profitable. Interactions among participants were essential. Networking sessions allowed educators to exchange ideas, discuss methodologies, and share best practices to convey essential concepts of the circular economy in ways that are most effective and appealing to students. The Growing Green project is an initiative by Ed-Consult and Erhvervsskolen Vestjylland from Denmark, HETEL and Salesianos Urnieta from the Basque Country, Il mio futuro, CIAPE, and Liceo Curie from Italy, and STEP Institute and GEPS from Slovenia. Within the Erasmus+ program, it aims to promote innovative and sustainable VT while fostering entrepreneurial culture among European youth.
The 2nd Transnational Partner Meeting in Giulianova, Italy in January 2023
The team building continued and we dived deep into the work to develop user-friendly project results – the Growing Green Manual and the Game. We also develop a dissemination strategy and made an adapted roadmap. And finally did some team-building activities in Marie Curie’s chemistry lab: We produced sustainable soap. Of course the partners dissemated the event on social media
