About Green Deal
The European Green Deal addresses sustainability challenges like climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and youth unemployment, aiming for: (1) no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, (2) economic growth decoupled from resource use, and (3) inclusivity.
Education is essential, equipping individuals and communities to reduce their carbon footprint through collaborative efforts between educators, institutions, and policymakers. The June 2022 EU Recommendation emphasizes the need for education that empowers learners to engage in sustainability and understand decision-making processes.
Impact measurement employed transformational validity to assess the effects of newly designed activities across diverse economic and cultural systems.
STEAM Lab results
54% of SENSE. activities targeted the Green Deal and Health, with 27% focused on the Green Deal, affecting 40% of participants, and 27% on Health, engaging 18% of stakeholders.
Findings varied by area, reflecting the specific needs of each Lab while remaining interconnected. For instance, activities at the University of Barcelona STEAM Lab enhanced digital competencies through interactive learning, with participants designing neighborhood routes and measuring temperatures via sensors.
Adaptations for visual and auditory inclusivity maximized resource benefits while addressing community health. Participants engaged in mental and physical mapping, actively contributed to data collection, and improved digital literacy.
