What the project is about
Through a series of educational eco-art workshops and the development of a educator’s guide, we are going to train educators on utilising art as a tool to cultivate environmental awareness among their students and learners.
We aim not only to reach art teachers but also educators from diverse disciplines who can integrate art into their teaching methods.
Objectives
- To promote environmental literacy and sustainable behaviors among educators and students through art
- To enhance educators’ knowledge, skills, and critical thinking for eco-art practice via workshops and the development of an educator guide
- To establish a European network of educators implementing eco-art, facilitating the exchange of best practices
- To raise public awareness of environmental issues and encourage action on climate change through local exhibitions
What does the term “Trash art” mean?
The term was inspired during the brainstorming sessions between the partnership. It captures the essence of one of the most important goals: promote environmental awareness!
Collecting “trash” and turning it into “art”!
