During a COPE session, I shared my Erasmus+ experience in Padova, where I attended the course “Education for Sustainable Development: Ideas and Activities for Your Class.”
This experience deepened my understanding of how sustainability can be effectively integrated into teaching through student-centred and practical approaches. A key focus of the course was the importance of raising students’ awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), enabling them to better understand global challenges and recognise their role in building a more sustainable future. These goals can be meaningfully incorporated across different subjects through cross-curricular teaching.
The course also provided a range of engaging classroom activities designed to promote critical thinking, environmental responsibility, and active citizenship. In addition, the sessions encouraged collaborative reflection among participants and inspired the adoption of innovative teaching practices that empower students to become informed, responsible, and proactive global citizens.
