Sow seeds of sustainability: Enrol in the ‘Exploring Nature-Based Solutions in Your Classroom and Beyond’ MOOC
We are increasingly becoming aware of environmental issues and their impact on our societies and everyday life. Teachers are trying to shape students into informed and active citizens who will work and build with nature instead of separately from it.
However, the educational potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) remains largely unexplored, and innovative programmes and resources around NBS are currently missing from formal and non-formal education programmes for students and teachers.
This course by NBS EduWORLD and Scientix® aims to bridge that gap by exploring the implementation of nature-based solutions in classrooms through ready-to-use learning scenarios previously developed by European Schoolnet and PPMI. By completing this course, you will be able to:
- learn what nature-based solutions are;
- discover the GreenComp Competence Framework and a range of resources, tools, and strategies to help you integrate NBS in your (school) community;
- examine NBS learning scenarios created by expert teachers, for inspiration from their good practices;
- reflect on your professional practice and engage with teachers and educators from Europe and beyond, brainstorming new ideas and methods;
- create your own NBS learning scenario and review the work of your course peers, improving the quality of your learning scenario through feedback.
The MOOC starts on 13 January 2025 and runs for five and a half weeks, with four modules opening one by one each week. Registration is free of charge and participants will receive a digital course certificate upon completion. The MOOC is open to primary and secondary school teachers and educators of similar age groups from Europe and beyond. Other educational professionals and stakeholders, such as Heads of schools, school support staff, and policy makers with an interest in the topic, are also welcome to join.

The MOOC is part of the NBS EduWORLD project (funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme) and is supported by Scientix and PPMI.
