BUSTIC EDU - Building Sustainability Competences in Education
BUSTIC EDU funded by the European Union (2025-2028) is developing a nature-positive programme for integrated teaching, with sustainability as the underlying topic. BUSTIC EDU's Sustainability in Education Programme will address the European Sustainability Competence Framework (GreenComp) in all subjects of its three streams: early childhood, primary, and secondary education (students aged ~3-18), the programme will be tested across 60 schools in six countries. The streams will be complemented with continuous professional development opportunities for teachers.
Current and expected outcomes:
- Soon after its launch in spring 2025, BUSTIC EDU began to lay the groundwork of its upcoming Sustainability in Education Programme with its Report on Teaching and Learning materials and activities in the European education sector, including available resources, gaps and needs and its Initial report on existing assessment methods for sustainability competences curriculum implementation.
- The project published teaching material for early childhood, primary and secondary schools; supported the creation of the Green Corner in the Scientix Digest to put a focus on environmental initiatives and news; and set up the groundwork for a new Scientix Collection on Education for Environmental Sustainability.
- In the next two years, BUSTIC Edu will test and refine its products and materials, take part in two Scientix STEM Discovery Campaigns, support a Scientix Award on environmental sustainability, and will support its final programme with online training for educators.
