Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka for PAP (August 2024)
the institution has implemented a practical climate education model and is familiar with the tools that support it
future-oriented competencies are being developed in students, such as agency, digital literacy, creativity, responsibility, collaboration, and more
efforts are being made to engage local government to allow young people to take part in shaping local climate policies
local businesses foster a sense of agency in children by investing in the implementation of their prototypes for solving environmental problems
Our innovative educational program, along with the proprietary working method – Code for Green®, was created in the spirit of the train the trainers approach. We work with schools to ensure that teachers are able to teach children how to solve environmental problems using technology.
We teach teachers how to guide students through the entire process: from diagnosing a problem in their environment, providing mentorship, to finding a solution, creating a prototype with the help of technology, and finally testing it in the market (or within local communities).
The Code for Green® method is based, among other things, on Design Thinking, project-based learning, programming skills development, field research, workshops in national parks and at universities with scientists, and empathy. This enables students, with the help of teachers and scientists, to create inventions that protect the environment.
The method has been thoroughly tested in 19 schools, with hundreds of students across 3 countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Germany) during over 6,000 hours of classroom instruction!
Participation in one of our programs is not the only way to benefit from our methods. We also offer workshops outside of the programs. Contact us and request an offer for commercial workshops for schools!
Even a one-time workshop brings great value to the school experience. Both teachers and students will gain practical skills and knowledge. They will learn how to study and protect the environment, understand physical and chemical processes, and especially the impact of humans. In classroom sessions, they have the opportunity for discussions and learning specific cognitive skills, such as working with the design thinking method. During field sessions, they examine the biochemical composition of rivers under microscopes and use the full technological support, such as computers, air, water, and motion sensors.
By investing in the development of children and building their agency in the areas of sustainable climate and environment, you strengthen the position of young people – future active citizens, competent and creative employees, and members of democratic societies.
We believe in the train the trainers method. Step by step, we will guide the teachers at your school through the process of acquiring new competencies. By investing in the development of teachers, you invest in the development of children.
You will learn methods for working in the field of climate and environmental education, along with a handbook, practical essentials, case studies, a training package for teachers, school management, and students, as well as access to the e-learning platform. The school is not an isolated island – your school will have the opportunity for free consultations with our experts. You can count on us in implementing change.
You demonstrate that you are a responsible and aware school that sees global challenges and understands that local actions can be more effective than waiting for the problem to resolve itself or be solved systematically.
The current generation of children and youth, through practical education and the development of agency, can contribute to reducing environmental threats, halt the destructive approach to the environment, and their attitudes and actions will impact the achievement of climate goals set for 2050.
You will effectively plan and prepare the educational foundation – we will help you select teaching materials and equipment for environmental research or programming, efficiently prepare the school space, and create a friendly green-blue infrastructure within and around the facility.
You will effectively plan and prepare the educational foundation – we will help you select teaching materials and equipment for environmental research or programming, efficiently prepare the school space, and create a friendly green-blue infrastructure within and around the facility.
You will develop an approach to education in which new technologies are tools for solving problems and challenges, rather than goals in themselves. Your students will use them more consciously and effectively in their everyday lives. You will lay the foundation for their future professional and social lives, where technology is an essential element. The unique combination of education close to nature, local work on climate and environmental challenges, and digital education will allow you to care for students' well-being. It will enhance their awareness of the world, reduce anxiety about the future, and foster the ability to rest and draw strength from nature.
We write a project together, secure funding for it, and run it jointly.
Your school joins in the implementation of a project by the Foundation.
We organize paid workshops for teachers at your school.
To effectively carry out our mission, we need your involvement!
Check how we can change the world together.
See what children have achieved through our projects – students have created around 100 different prototypes, some of which have been implemented. Read also about our other achievements.
