Global education awareness in rural areas

Project is financed by ESTDEV – Estonian Centre for International Development

The aim of the project is to bring world education topics to the peripheral areas in Estonia and develop an understanding of how the world and our community's everyday activities are interrelated.

The aim of the project is to throw the attention of the communities of Lake Peipsi to their consumer behavior and volunteering to take action in the global educational activities. The project will start cooperating with organizations not previously involved in global education: eg village and community societies, as well as local (catering, production) companies. As schools are often dinding communities, we try to disseminate global educational information to local communities through schools. Project involves also  Green School program activities for schools.

Activities are planning to lead environmental sustainable youth festival / café days and other public community events explaining how to make them greener and at community events organizing global education information (active learning methods, audiovisual materials, online questionnaire). The project supports inter-community learning (incl. Study trips) and the application of new knowledge in the daily work of institutions and public organizing events. The project also supports rural schools with a green school program accession.
