Education is our most valuable investment. Life Terra has developed in collaboration with education experts different strategies to raise environmental awareness among all ages, with a focus on children and youth.
STEM Discovery Campaign 2024
This year, Life Terra co-organisers the STEM Discovery Campaign 2024 together with Scientix. We see the SDC as an amazing opportunity for teachers and educators to meet their peers, share knowledge and experiences, and discover teaching opportunities.
At Life Terra, we want to engage schools and educators across Europe and beyond, and give them the opportunity to join the Life Terra mission and encourage young generations to take climate action. More information here.
Life Terra created an interactive environmental education programme for students ages 8-14 based on STEM and the best available science.
Terra Mission is Life Terra’s sustainability educational package developed by Gynzy, one of our project beneficiaries. Using inspiring sources and examples, Terra Mission challenges teachers and students to investigate and learn about the environment, both inside and outside of school.
What does Terra Mission include?
Terra Mission can easily be integrated into school curricula. It has increasing difficulty levels: from issues close at hand (in and around the school) to issues looking at the bigger picture (nationwide versus global). It consists of 8 themes and it can be taken fully or partially, as all themes are independent but interlinked.
Gynzy’s platform, an interactive digital whiteboard (IWB) with information, exercises, video materials and suggested outdoor activities
Teacher guides with learning goals and instructions (worksheets and answer keys included)
A problem-solving approach based on Problem – Solution – Action
All contents fully customisable and revised by experts from the University of Barcelona
Terra Mission Diploma for participating schools at the end

An opportunity for teachers across Europe & around the world!
Terra Mission was developed with the collaboration of:
"First, my students and I enjoyed the implementation of the lessons. They were intrigued and engaged the whole time. I found all the materials (especially open lesson and videos) and the combination of them of excellent quality and absolutely to the point!"
"Actually as an ICT teacher it is feasible to implement and find activities especially in Grafic animation lessons. Topic is very good educative".
"The simple language used was very child-friendly and aged appropriate. The balance between video and powerpoint was perfect. The videos really enhanced the points made and visually explained the process being discussed. The wide variety of material suited all students' learning style."
Elimu ni uwekezaji wetu wenye thamani zaidi. Life Terra imebuni kwa kushirikiana na wataalamu wa elimu mikakati tofauti ya kuongeza ufahamu wa mazingira kati ya umri wote, kwa kuzingatia watoto na vijana. "Kampeni ya ""Kugundua STEM"" ya mwaka huu, iliyoandaliwa na Life Terra, inaonyesha jinsi ya kuendeleza utafiti wa STEM katika nchi za Ulaya na Ulaya." SDC ni fursa ya ajabu kwa walimu na walimu kukutana na wenzao, kushiriki maarifa na uzoefu, na kugundua fursa za kufundisha. Katika LifeTerra, tunataka kuhusisha shule na walimu kote Ulaya na zaidi, na kuwapa fursa ya kujiunga na utume wa LifeTerra na kuhamasisha vizazi vya vijana kuchukua hatua za hali ya hewa. Habari zaidi hapa. LifeTerra iliunda programu ya elimu ya mazingira ya maingiliano kwa wanafunzi wa umri wa miaka 8-14 kulingana na STEM na sayansi bora inayopatikana. Ujumbe wa Terra ni Maisha Mfuko wa elimu ya uendelevu wa Terra uliotengenezwa na Gynzy, mmoja wa wapokeaji wetu wa mradi. Kwa kutumia vyanzo na mifano ya kuchochea, Terra Mission inawataka walimu na wanafunzi kuchunguza na kujifunza juu ya mazingira, ndani na nje ya shule. Ujumbe wa Terra unatia ndani nini? Ujumbe wa Terra unaweza kuingizwa kwa urahisi katika mtaala wa shule. Ina viwango vya ugumu vinavyoongezeka: kutoka kwa masuala ya karibu (ndani na karibu na shule) hadi masuala yanayoangalia picha kubwa (taifa nzima dhidi ya kimataifa). Inajumuisha mada nane na inaweza kuchukuliwa kikamilifu au kwa sehemu, kwani mada zote ni huru lakini zimeunganishwa. Gyncy ni jukwaa la dijiti la maingiliano na vifaa vya video na shughuli za nje zilizopendekezwa, na ina mwongozo wa mwalimu na malengo ya kujifunza na maagizo (karatasi za kazi na funguo za majibu) Njia ya kutatua tatizo kulingana na tatizo, suluhisho, hatua, na vifaa vyote vinavyoweza kubadilishwa na marekebisho na wataalam kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Barcelona. Ikiwa unataka kupanda miti na wanafunzi wako lakini hujui ni wapi kuanza, Life Terra ilifanya mambo iwe rahisi kwako! Mwongozo wa Maisha wa Terra kwa Mimea ya Shule ni mwongozo wa hatua kwa hatua kusaidia walimu kuandaa shughuli ya kupanda na wanafunzi wao. Unaweza kuitumia hapa: Je, unataka kujifunza jinsi ya kutumia Terra Mission katika darasa lako? Angalia Terra Mission MOOC na kusaidia wanafunzi wako kuwa wataalamu wa hali ya hewa Maisha Terra na Scientix iliunda <unk>Terra Mission MOOC: Kufundisha Uendelevu kwa Kitendo<unk>! Kozi hii ya mtandaoni inachunguza pakiti ya Elimu ya Terra Mission na jinsi ya kuitumia darasani. Jinsi ya kujiunga na Terra Mission? Ikiwa unataka wanafunzi wako kujifunza juu ya uendelevu na mazingira, na kuanza kuchukua hatua za hali ya hewa sasa, jiunge na safari ya Terra Mission na sisi. Fursa kwa walimu kote Ulaya na duniani kote! "Terra Mission ilitengenezwa kwa ushirikiano wa: ""Kwanza, wanafunzi wangu na mimi tulifurahia utekelezaji wa masomo." Walikuwa na hamu na walipendezwa wakati wote. Niliona vifaa vyote (hasa somo la wazi na video) na mchanganyiko wa hizo kuwa wa ubora bora na kabisa kwa uhakika!" "Kwa kweli kama mwalimu wa ICT inawezekana kutekeleza na kupata shughuli hasa katika masomo ya uhuishaji wa picha. Kichwa hicho ni chenye kuelimisha sana". "Lugha rahisi iliyotumiwa ilikuwa yenye kupendeza sana kwa watoto na inafaa kwa umri. Usawaziko kati ya video na PowerPoint ulikuwa kamilifu. Video hizo ziliongeza sana mambo yaliyozungumziwa na kueleza kwa njia ya kuona jinsi mambo yalivyozungumziwa. Aina mbalimbali za habari zilifaa mtindo wa kujifunza wa wanafunzi wote".
