The RAISE PROJECT aims to:
Raising Environmental Awareness among
Young People
Goals:
- to instill to young people, of secondary school age, the wish to take up voluntary activity, especially in relation to environmental conservation and the protection of valuable natural and cultural heritage
- to try out innovative learning methodologies by introducing ICT and gaming in the learning process to create interactive learning environments and make learning more attractive to young people
The starting point:
Environmental Education goes hand in hand with nature conservation and volunteering
- plays a critical role in raising awareness about the protection of our environment
- spreads the values of cherishing and protecting nature
- encourages volunteering for the preservation of our natural heritage
The RAISE/INVOLEN methodology:
- targets youth of secondary school age – can be implemented by schools or NGOs
Is based on:
- Location-based games, playable on mobile devices
- Learning complemented by on-site conservation activities
- The role of teachers as “learning facilitators” encouraging peer learning
- Learning on location in protected areas of ecological value
