Project Summary

The context of “e-InnoEduCO2: School science e-learning ONE HEALTH” includes a partnership formed by 1 public authority: Municipality of Outes (ES), 3 universities: University of Santiago de Compostela (ES), University of Iasi (RO), University of Aveiro (PT), 2 schools: Group of Schools in Aveiro (PT) and XXVI High School in Łódź (PL), and 1 supercomputing center: CESGA (ES) aimed at strengthening the capacity of education and training institutions to provide inclusive and quality digital education through an e-pedagogical learning model: STE(A)M-TIC that allows to compensate the increase in the deficiencies of the EU in School Education adapting the telematics training of the COVID-19 era to the curricular needs of scientific experimentation.

In the current COVID-19 scenario and in a context of increasing complexity, interdependence and systemic nature of risk, multisectoral coordination is also necessary in order to initiate the preparation and implementation of measures to rebuild school education and create willing agents of change. to face global challenges in order to combat the climate crisis, marking Ecology and ICT as transversal axes for creative scientific dissemination.

The project aims to compensate for the barriers, gaps and limitations derived from the COVID crisis, identified in the OECD report “The impact of COVID-19 on Education: Insights from Education at a Glance 2020” (Andreas Schleicher) to promote an experiential school curriculum based on digital learning. Through the development and implementation of e-lab and e-eco models linked to augmented reality that enables the geolocated data loading in field and laboratory ecosystems in different European oceans, it aims to strengthen the capacity of school education institutions to provide inclusive and quality digital education in the scientific field, also responding to the European Commission Recommendation (EU) 2018/790 of April 25, 2018 regarding the promotion of STE(A)M competencies (science, technology, engineering , art and mathematics) to take advantage of their potentialities and the transfer of knowledge and promote an innovative culture and sustainable development throughout society and at all levels, starting with school age.

For this reason, e-InnoEduCO2 sets as the objectives:
O1: To figure out the entire educational community, e-learning laboratory practices that allow the development of experimental teaching-learning processes in the field and in the laboratory with quality training potential, using more accessible virtual, multimedia or telematic methodologies .
O2: To develop experimental designs that allow to follow the scientific practices in a telematic way, without losing the potential for observation and inquiry typical of field and laboratory experiments.
O3: To strengthen the links between scientific research and society through creative scientific expression and development of innovative and attractive ICT resources and artistic resources for the transfer of scientific knowledge in the educational environment and to society.
O4: To raise awareness about the relationships of global and climate change through sampling activities and simulation laboratory practices and reflect on it following the WHO One Health approach.

To achieve these objectives, e-InnoEduCO2 is structured in 6 Work Packages:
WP1. COORDINATION AND MANAGEMENT;
WP2. COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION;
WP3. DEVELOPMENT OF STE(A) M METHODOLOGY AND E-LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES
WP4. TEACHERS TRAINING
WP5. CAMPUS “ONE HEALTH” OF INITIATION TO RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATION
WP6. SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION FOR THE TRANSFER TO SOCIETY

The activities contemplated in each of these work packages of the project will follow a collaborative methodology for the development of deliverables and intellectual outputs. In this way, the different participating organizations will contribute, based on their experience and profile, to scientific dissemination for the use of the general population with its didactic e-learning transposition for school use in a process of empowerment of the different stakeholders in the field of school education, scientific knowledge and digital development in Europe.

For the choice of said parnership, the necessary profiles were taken into account based on the objectives and access to the final recipients: teachers, experts and entities linked to the educational field; secondary education students, professionals in need of recycling in this area.

In the long term, local administrations and school communities will strengthen their strategies for permanent school education with the STE(A)M approach in the field of ICT and global change, while collaborating to break down social barriers in access to the telematics training. The centers for scientific dissemination and supercomputing will expand their usefulness for school education.
