There are many methods have become general nowadays with which the teaching and learning can be made more successful. Beside teamwork, situational game and debate, the project method is becoming more and more widespread. This method reinterprets the traditional lesson activities. It gives a chance for children to move at its own pace in order to achieve a common goal. Project work is a much applied method in environmental education too. Its significance is that through their independent activity resulting from their interest, students get possession of such knowledge and attitudes that is more difficult to reach by other methods of environmental education. From this consideration applying of the " Our Environment in the XXIst Century " project has took place, which is dealing with environmental problems that are closely related to our daily lives.

The aim of the research is to improve the environmental sensitivity of teacher candidates through environmental education practices based on project-based teaching. In this research carried out in the action research pattern, an action plan containing environmental education practices based on project-based teaching has been prepared. The research was conducted with 25 social studies teacher candidates determined by criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling methods. The data of the research were obtained using the attitude towards the environment scale and a semi-structured interview form. The analysis of the obtained quantitative data was evaluated by t test; the analysis of qualitative data was evaluated by content analysis. As a result of the research, a statistically significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-test average scores taken from the attitude towards the environment scale. Teacher candidates' views on project-based teaching based practices are that it improves their environmental sensitivity, has a positive impact on their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards the environment. In addition, teacher candidates propose various applications aimed at gaining environmental sensitivity in their daily lives and when they start their profession.

Environmental stewardship is living responsibly as a caretaker of the environment for the benefit of present and future generations and is quickly becoming one of the most pressing public priorities for communities today. As stewards, we are personally responsible for the care and preservation of our fellow communities: human, plant or animal. It is grounded in an understanding of the importance of environmental quality and natural resources to the human race and the effects of human actions on the environment. Thus, it is important to provide relevant educational experiences that involve students and promote an understanding of their responsibility to care for the world and its resources. This paper will present the findings from a study conducted to investigate the effect of project-based learning on students " attitudes and behaviors towards the environment. A total of 173 pre-service teachers enrolled in a chemistry teaching methods course participated in this study. The pre-service teachers were in their third year of the teacher education program. Data were collected through questionnaires containing Likert-type items designed to assess the degree of environmental concern and readiness in pro-environmental behaviors. As part of the project, they were required to identify topics in the chemistry syllabus that are deemed relevant and suitable to teaching climate change and to design a Web-Quest lesson on global climate change. The topic was chosen as it is one of the growing threats to society caused by human activities and the complexity of the topic offers an opportunity to engage students in higher order thinking skills in addition to making learning relevant. For, in the end, as noted by one Senegalese ecologist, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we have been taught. Results indicated that adopting the project-based learning could enhance students " attitudes and behavior towards environment.

Sustainability is a major and growing concern worldwide. The topic has received significant media attention, and innumerable organizations have released sustainability goals. In 2015, the United Nations published the seventeen interrelated Sustainable Development Goals, that promote economic, social, and environmental sustainability (United Nations, n.d.). The Association of Southeast Asian Nations recently affirmed similar goals in a June 2019 statement (“ASEAN leaders’ vision statement,” 2019). This report introduces a project designed in response to this need to introduce students to sustainability and explores the impact of this project on students’ environmental worldview. The project was implemented in an intensive English for academic purposes (EAP) course at a university in Thailand. This 10-week course prepares students to enter an English-medium bachelor’s degree program. The main goals of the program are to develop language proficiency; however, this is accomplished through engagement with meaningful real-world content. This could be classified as the weak form of “Content and Language Integrated Learning” (CLIL), which has the goal of helping “learners develop their target language competency as a primary aim and their subject/theme/topic knowledge as a secondary aim” (Ikeda, 2013, p. 32). The principles of Project-Based Learning (PBL), which is gaining recognition as an effective approach to learning (Chen & Yang, 2019), informed the design of the project. After reviewing relevant literature on PBL, this report explains the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale. It then provides the results of pre- and post-project administrations of the NEP to students in the intensive English program and interprets the results. Finally, it discusses implications for further iterations of the same project and for projects implemented in other contexts.

Strategies for teaching E nvironmental Education

The 3 es explore - engage - empower,  explore and acquire information.

There are a number of strategies for teaching Environmental Education that can really make an impact. Let's explore some of these ways to enable children to learn the facts about climate change and environmental issues in exciting and interactive ways. I believe that empowering kids with knowledge is a key step towards building a sustainable future. So, let's dive right in and explore some awesome ways to acquire information and nurture their curious minds!

Dive into Books

Books are magical gateways to knowledge. Encourage children to read books that explore climate change, sustainability, and environmental issues.

Look for age-appropriate titles that present facts in a fun and engaging way. From picture books to informative non-fiction, there's a treasure trove of literature waiting to be explored. Spark their imagination and expand their understanding of the world through the power of words.

Online Exploration

The internet is a vast playground of information waiting to be discovered. Help children navigate this digital realm responsibly by guiding them towards reliable sources. Use of online tools can be one of the key strategies for teaching Environmental Education.

Encourage the children to research climate change and environmental issues online, exploring reputable websites, scientific articles, documentaries, art websites and educational platforms.

Teach them critical thinking skills to distinguish between reliable sources and misinformation.

Interviews and Guest Speakers

Bring learning to life by organizing interviews or inviting guest speakers who are experts in the field. This could be local environmentalists, scientists, or representatives from environmental organizations .

Allow children to ask questions, discuss their concerns, and learn directly from those actively working to address climate change and environmental issues. Personal stories and experiences can make a significant impact and inspire further learning and be one of the most powerful strategies for teaching Environmental Education.

Field Trips and Nature Walks

Get out of the classroom and embark on exciting field trips and nature walks. Visit local parks, conservation areas, or even sustainable farms to observe the environment first hand.

Encourage children to take notes, ask questions, and engage with their surroundings. This hands-on experience will deepen their understanding and appreciation of the natural world.

There are a range of organisations which have ideas for field trips and nature-based activities and help to make connection to the outdoors one of the central strategies for teaching Environmental Education.

Role of the Teacher

You, as teachers play a crucial role in supporting children's acquisition of knowledge in the realm of climate change and environmental issues.

There is a debate about which is better - Incorporating environmental education topics into your curriculum through providing dedicated lessons or integrating them into various subjects. Either approach has its benefits.

Teachers have a crucial role as mentors, guiding children in their exploration and providing a safe space for open dialogue, taking care not to overwhelm children with either too much information or too startling information when they don't have the processing abilities to cope with it. Too much too soon could lead to eco-anxiety.

Remember, enabling children to learn about climate change and environmental issues is about empowering them with knowledge and nurturing their curiosity. By embracing diverse learning methods, involving teachers as mentors, and fostering an environment of exploration and discovery, we can inspire a generation of environmentally conscious individuals ready to tackle the challenges ahead. So, let's explore these strategies for teaching Environmental Education and embark on this exciting journey of learning together!

ENGAGE and deepen understanding

This section looks at deepening children's learning about climate change and environmental issues in a way that sparks their curiosity, captivates their imagination, and leaves them feeling inspired rather than stressed out or depressed. Let's dive right in and discover some fantastic ways to make learning about these important topics an exciting and empowering experience!

Focus on Positive Solutions

When it comes to climate change and environmental issues, it's important to highlight the positive solutions and actions being taken around the world.

Instead of dwelling solely on the problems, introduce children to inspiring stories of individuals , communities, and organizations that are making a real difference. Show them that there is hope and that they too can be a part of the solution.

Hands-on Experiences

Nothing beats hands-on experiences when it comes to deepening learning and creating lasting memories. Encourage children to actively engage with the environment through nature hikes, gardening , or even volunteering for local conservation projects.

By experiencing the beauty of nature first hand and understanding the interconnectedness of ecosystems, they'll develop a sense of awe and a desire to protect our planet.

Using hands-on activities, such as making hedgehog houses or bird feeders , composting, or outdoor field trips  to explore the natural world can provide them with a greater appreciation for the environment and a deeper understanding of ecological concepts.

Connect with Real-World Examples

Make the learning experience relatable by connecting it to real-world examples and current events. Share stories about young activists, environmental heroes , and successful conservation projects happening around the globe.

By showing children that they are not alone in their concerns and that their efforts can have a meaningful impact, they'll feel motivated and inspired to get involved.

Role-Plays and Simulations

Students can learn about the impact of human actions on the environment by taking part in simulations or role-playing different scenarios, such as a town hall meeting to discuss a proposed development project.

This approach can be particularly effective for teaching topics such as ecosystems, biodiversity, or natural resource management.

Encouraging students to debate and discuss environmental issues can help them develop critical thinking skills and understand different perspectives. There are a range of online magazines which are helpful for keeping abreast of environmental topics and issues.

Project-based Learning

Project-Based Learning: Engage children in project-based learning experiences that allow them to delve deeper into specific environmental issues.

Encourage them to choose a topic they are passionate about and guide them in conducting research, organizing their findings, and presenting their knowledge to others. Taking part in Citizen Science projects can be an excellent way of linking with others and being part of something bigger than just your classroom.

This approach fosters independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and a sense of ownership over their learning journey.

Games and Interactive Tools

Learning can be super fun when it involves games and interactive tools! Explore educational apps, online quizzes , and board games that focus on climate change and environmental issues. 

  Using technology , such as interactive maps or digital simulations, can enable pupils to understand complex environmental concepts or visualize environmental data.

These engaging resources make learning enjoyable and allow children to absorb information in a playful way. Plus, it encourages healthy competition, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.

Foster a Sense of Wonder and Appreciation

Help children develop a deep sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. Encourage them to explore the beauty of nature, observe its intricate details, and celebrate its diversity.

Organize activities like nature journaling, photography outings, bat-walks or stargazing nights. By fostering a connection and love for the environment, children will be driven to protect and care for it.

Creating their own butterfly feeders and bug hotels can be an active way of getting closer to the creatures and making more detailed observations.

EMPOWER through action

So let's now look at ways to empower kids to make a difference when it comes to climate change and environmental issues. We believe that no matter how small they may be, our little ones have the power to create big waves of change. So, let's dive right in and discover some awesome ways to get those eco-warrior vibes going!

Empower Children as Problem-Solvers

Instead of overwhelming children with the enormity of the challenges, empower them as problem-solvers. Encourage their creative thinking and invite them to come up with innovative solutions to environmental issues.

Provide opportunities for children to brainstorm, design prototypes, and even present their ideas to others. By fostering a sense of agency and empowerment, they'll feel motivated to take action and make a difference.

The first step in empowering children is to let them know that their opinions and ideas matter. Encourage them to speak up about climate change and environmental issues by participating in discussions, sharing their thoughts with friends and family, and even writing letters to local representatives or community leaders. Remind them that they have a voice that deserves to be heard!

Take Action Locally

Empower your superheroes by helping them take action right in their own community. Whether it's organizing a neighbourhood clean-up, planting trees, or starting a recycling initiative at school, encourage them to lead the way and make a positive impact in their immediate surroundings.

Encouraging children to look at ways they can improve their school grounds, such as creating a pond to attract wildlife  can give them an immediate sense of agency. Helping wildlife that is currently experiencing difficulties such as bees  or butterflies can enable children to tackle a big problem in a manageable and satisfying way as they can see the progress they are making.

By showing them that they can make a difference in their own backyard, they'll feel empowered to take on bigger challenges in the future.

Support Sustainable Choices

Empowerment comes from taking action in our daily lives. Teach children about sustainable choices, such as conserving energy and water, reducing waste, and choosing eco-friendly products. Involve them in household decisions, like switching to renewable energy sources or buying locally sourced products. Activities such as creating solar toy cars can help children see the impact of solar energy for themselves and help them understand the role solar energy can play in real life. There are many technological resources to help teachers devise great learning opportunities.

By actively participating in sustainable practices, they'll realize that their actions can have a positive impact on the planet.

Collaborate and Connect

Encourage children to collaborate and connect with like-minded individuals who share their passion for the environment. Help them join or start environmental clubs at school, participate in community projects, or get involved with local organizations working towards sustainability.

By working together, they'll not only amplify their impact but also find support and inspiration from a community of change-makers. Linking with others can be one of the most impactful strategies for teaching Environmental Education in that it can enable children to feel part of something bigger - they may even keep the connections going into the future beyond school.

Celebrate Progress and Achievements

Every step, no matter how small, deserves to be celebrated. Empower children by acknowledging their efforts and achievements in their journey to make a difference.

Create a space where they can share their wins, whether it's completing a conservation project, raising awareness among their peers, or influencing positive changes within their community. By celebrating their progress, you're fueling their motivation to keep going!

There are a number of awards and programmes schools can take part in. These can be a great way to work towards a goal and gain recognition of your efforts.

Remember, the power to make a difference lies within each and every one of us, regardless of age. By empowering children to take action on climate change and environmental issues, we're shaping a generation of leaders who will work towards a sustainable future. So let's engage with these strategies for teaching Environmental Education and cheer the children on, support their dreams, and watch as they transform the world into a greener, cleaner, and brighter place!

Project management is a set of tools and templates designed to help the project management practitioner and to provide consistency of process. It is a methodology that defines the processes, responsibilities, and workflows needed to achieve an objective. Each project or initiative undertaken is unique in its constraints and issues. The information contained within the methodology should be adapted to a particular situation. Based on this premise, Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) and Projects IN Controlled Environment, version 2 (PRINCE 2) should not be considered as a methodology, but rather as a guide, which should be tailored to suit organisation’s own internal project management methodology.

Operations keeps the light on, strategy provides a light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organisation forward —Joy Gumz
