BUSTIC EDU Shares how it is piloting the Sustainability Education Programme

The BUSTIC EDU project has released Deliverable D5.1, “The Protocol of Experimentation”, the framework that guides how the Sustainability Education Programme (SEP) is being piloted in schools across Europe.

For teachers, the protocol offers step-by-step guidance throughout preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Teachers deliver at least one SEP core activity, run a short assessment with students before and after, and write one to two paragraphs on what worked, what was challenging, and what could be improved. Activities can be adapted to teaching style, learners, and context. Approaches like integrated learning, competency-based learning, reconcilism, and capacity-building are already built in. The GreenMindframes rubric, completed before and after the activity, supports reflection on confidence with sustainability teaching, how practice is shifting, and where more support might be needed.

For school leaders, the Whole-School Approach Reflective Framework offers a structured way to reflect on how sustainability initiatives and competences can become part of school life beyond individual lessons, for example across leadership, community, environment, and professional development.

Aspiring to reach over 3,000 students across 60 schools in five countries, the pilot will build real evidence for sustainability education across Europe.
