SUPPORT: Partnership and Participation for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Share this project

The goal of SUPPORT was to promote and enhance the quality of education for sustainable development by linking schools, research institutions and communities in a web-based network.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) aims to help young people become lifelong learners and active and responsible citizens. To achieve this, new kinds of educational frameworks are needed, which enable pupils to understand complex issues and provide them with opportunities to acquire relevant skills, reflect critically and develop their own values and attitudes regarding sustainable development.

The goals of SUPPORT were to generate and spread knowledge about how ESD can be effectively supported through cooperation with actors in the local community. Interaction and cooperation among key stakeholders and best-practice exchange were the main themes at conferences, workshops and seminars organized by SUPPORT, as well as at the web-based school campaign “CO2nnect – CO2 on the way to school”.

Specific objectives of SUPPORT were to increase participation in science studies by making these more attractive, reduce the gender imbalance in science education and promote entrepreneurship by supporting a school culture of innovation and responsibility.
