Location: Volksschule Brüßlgasse in Vienna

On March 19th 2024, the Innovative Education Center took a significant step towards environmental education by conducting a compelling workshop and a multiplier event at Volksschule Brüßlgasse in Vienna. These activities are a part of two forward-thinking Erasmus+ funded projects: "2021-1-PL01-KA220-YOU-000029219 Green Three Seas Initiative for Youth" and “2021-1-MT01-KA220-SCH-000032700, Learning by Doing: Experiential Learning in Formal School Education.” These projects are closely aligned with the European Union's visionary goal to realize a climate-neutral continent by 2050, focusing on the comprehensive aspects of ecological transformation as envisioned by the European Green Deal. In today's era, as the call for environmental sustainability grows more vital, our project is committed to equipping the upcoming generation with necessary knowledge, skills, and prospects to actively participate in and benefit from the green transition. Acknowledging the pivotal role of educational establishments in driving this change, we were thrilled to collaborate with Volksschule Brüßlgasse to deliver a presentation aimed at empowering young minds. About Learning Doing: Experiential Learning in Formal School Education: This project is at the forefront of integrating experiential learning into both formal and informal educational frameworks. Our mission is to elevate students' essential skills, including critical thinking, adaptability, civic responsibility, and environmental stewardship, through dynamic and hands-on experiences.

Artistic Expression and Visionary Insights: A highlight of the session was an art workshop conducted by a renowned artist from the IEC. This portion of the event gave participants a unique opportunity to express their understanding of climate change and envision a sustainable future through their artwork. It served as a powerful platform for the youth to transform the insights gained during the workshop into vibrant, creative narratives that reflect their hopes, fears, and dreams for the planet. This artistic venture was not only a channel for creative expression but also a strategy to reinforce the workshop's learning outcomes, encouraging students to ponder their role in promoting environmental sustainability. The artwork produced stands as a poignant reminder of the impact that each individual can make in fostering a greener, more hopeful future.

Lets Get Together

Location: Lower Austria's Woods!  

🌲🥾 Take a look to our “Let's Get Together" hike through Lower Austria's woods, started from Purkersdorf, up to Troppberg, and culminated in a concert at Mirli before heading back to Tullnerbach on 10th of September. Distance: 14.1 km Elevation gain: 430 m Difficulty: Medium Paths: Hiking trails through Vienna/Lower Austria's woods The Let's get together hikes combine the use of digital tools with outdoor activities and connect people of different age groups. The route was planned by using the app “Alpenvereinaktiv" (free version) which allows the and the participants to have a clear picture about the elevation gain, the distance and the difficulty. The hiking guide also used the app on the hiking day as an additional tool for orientation in the woods. This hike was part of the DISPO project, generously co-funded by the European Commission. The project's objective is to enhance enthusiasm and active involvement in outdoor sports among young individuals aged 13-19. By utilizing digital tools, we aim to pique the interest of the youth in outdoor activities and help them rediscover their bond with nature. #DISPOProject #Hiking #Nature #Outdoors #Community #EcoFriendly @dispoerasmus
