​Let’s Act! is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project coordinated by the Danish NGO Mundu and in which ELA is involved as partner organisation. Let’s Act! seeks to educate, motivate and enable students in creating a more sustainable world. We believe that reaching the young generations is key in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The project aims to raise students’ awareness about the Agenda 2030 on sustainable development and the role they play in meeting the SDGs by developing an open-access online SDG learning platform that will focus on the topic “Preserving the Planet”. Additionally, given the crucial role of teachers in this process, the project also aims to develop the training and tools needed for teachers to engage in blended and online learning in a meaningful way.

In order to reach the main objective of the project, the partnership will create and develop three resources specifically designed for teachers working with students aged 12-16 wishing to include the SDG in their school program:

O1: SDG Learning Platform​

An open, free digital learning platform about the SDGs with the theme Preserving the Planet. Each lesson and topic will be mapped against national curriculum and the didactic materials will be available also in Italian, Danish, Romanian and English. Suitable for students aged 12 to 16 years old. 
​

O2: Teacher Training Tools

A set of resources to support teachers and educators wishing to use the SDG platform with their students during school hours. These resources will include a manual on how to use the SDG learning Platform and a series of videos about teaching tools, digital skills and best practices.
​

O3: Research Reports

A research report and a best practice report to evaluate the effectiveness of various tools in online and blended learning. The reports will also include datas collected from teachers directly involved in the project.

What's going on in the project?

Online Kick-off Meeting ​

After several attempts to organize an on-site meeting, given the ongoing pandemic situation, the partners opted to organize the kickoff meeting online 6-7-8/09/2021.
In this occasion, partners established a protocol for communication, clarified roles and strategies for effective management, discussed the timeline of the project and started planning the activities to come in the next months.

TPM in Aarhus

During the Transnational Partner Meeting held in Aarhus (Denmark) from 09th to 11th of November, the partners met to discuss the creation of the SDG learning platform and establish a framework of reference to use when creating the didactic material. It was also discussed a plan of action for the field research and a more detailed index of contents for the SDG platform manual for teachers.

Field Research

Starting from December 2021 and for the first few months of 2022, partners have started to reach out to several schools in order to start a field research: teachers involved in the project will be asked to complete questionnaires which will shed more light on the skills and resources they have available during their day-to-day work, in order to create the online platform most suitabile for them.
