GEOschools is a European Union project supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme which brings together geoscientists from universities, museums, geoparks, teaching training institutions and educators which can best “translate” geosciences into language and learning opportunities that can be understood by school students. The target of the project is to define a “Framework on geosciences literacy principles” for the general European citizens, to be applied at least, for the revision of obligatory school curricula for secondary schools for the participant countries.
The key results to be issued during the development of the project are: (a) a curriculum comparison research; (b) an interest research; (c) a school geosciences dictionary (lexicon); (d) teaching modules on specific subjects and (e) an interactive website/portal (in English, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and eventually French) and an e-Newsletter.
The project Geoschools aims to improve teacher’s teaching and students’ geoscientific literacy all over Europe and make them able to understand the fundamental concepts of earth’s dynamic and complex systems, to assess scientifically credible information about earth and take responsible decisions regarding earth as a "system". Moreover, combining educational research and practice in the schools; ideas, knowledge and skills that it supports will contribute to the development of a quality lifelong learning and promote a European dimension in systems and practices in the field helping young people acquire the basic life-skills and competences necessary for their personal development, for future active European citizenship.
