Erasmus+ programs drive STEM and climate education through teacher exchanges

Educators across Europe are participating in Erasmus+ mobility programs focused on integrating sustainability and STEM into school curricula.

In Subotica, teachers from Turkey visited the ‘Ivan Goran Kovačić’ Elementary School to exchange experiences regarding STEM education. The program aimed to find practical ways to teach students about climate change, environmental protection, and energy efficiency, connecting these topics to real-world applications rather than just textbook theory.

Simultaneously, representatives from the Velika Gorica Vocational High School participated in the ‘EkOdrživ’ Erasmus+ project in Ponta Delgada, Portugal. The course, titled ‘There Is No Planet B’, focused on introducing climate change education into various subjects. Participants studied ecological and carbon footprints, analyzed human impact on the planet, and shared best practices to reduce the environmental impact of schools through better management of energy, waste, water, and transport.
