Presentation
The Framework of Earth Competences, created through the EARTHgames4EyoUth equips youth and educators with key environmental skills and knowledge.
The Framework of Earth Competences can serve as a useful guide outlining key knowledge, skills, and atitudes needed for environmental awareness and responsible living. It promotes sustainable lifestyles, encourages eco-friendly habits, and helps people align their daily life with core environmental values actions that benefit communities and the planet alike.
The Framework of Earth Competences was developed within the "EARTHgames4EyoUth" project – a collaborative effort involving several European organizations: Mare Nostrum NGO from Romania, UniGrowth Development Center from Armenia, Slovak Eco Quality NGO from Slovakia, and Today We Have Izabela Kotyńska-Zielińska from Poland. This initiative was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
In light of the escalating challenges posed by climate change, the EARTHgames4EyoUth project aimed to enhance the quality and innovation of youth education by introducing essential Earth competences. Through interactive games, educational activities, and this competency framework, the project aimed to equip young Europeans and their educators with the practical knowledge, essential skills, and proactive atitudes necessary to effectively engage with and respond to global environmental challenges. Our goal was to bridge the gap between policy-making and grassroots actions, ensuring environmental education is both accessible and engaging for today's youth.
The Framework of Earth Competences can serve as a useful guide outlining key knowledge, skills, and atitudes needed for environmental awareness and responsible living.
