EASE — Educate, Act, and Sustainably Share for Climate and Environmental Health

EASE — Educate, Act, and Sustainably Share for Climate and Environmental Health

A European project supporting teachers and the fight against climate change

The EASE (Educate, Act, Sustainably Share for the Environment) project, funded by Erasmus+ KA220-SCH – Cooperation Partnerships in School Education, brings together teachers, trainers, researchers, and digital experts around a shared goal :

to make science education a powerful lever for action in the face of climate disruption and environmental health challenges.

As our planet faces unprecedented changes, teachers play a key role in helping young people understand, question, and take action.

EASE provides them with practical resources, accessible scientific data, and innovative training to teach science differently — with rigor, creativity, and optimism.

Clear and ambitious objectives

EASE aims to :

• Encourage girls’ engagement in science education, paving the way for gender equality and a European future where scientific careers are open to everyone;
• Train and support teachers through active, interdisciplinary, and reality-based teaching practices;
• Connect classroom learning to real-world environmental and climate challenges using data from sensors and field observations;
• Turn eco-anxiety into engagement, empowering students and teachers to take informed, positive action;
• Build a European community of STEM educators committed to sustainability and environmental health education.

STEM disciplines at the heart of the project

EASE focuses on all STEM disciplines — Biology and Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering Sciences, and Computer Science.

The project promotes a cross-disciplinary and hands-on approach to science education, encouraging the use of digital tools, environmental sensors, and real-world data to explore climate and health phenomena.

It also includes certified training courses and a university degree dedicated to climate and environmental health education.

Timeline

Project partners

The EASE consortium brings together four partners from three European countries, united by a shared conviction:

Teaching science is already acting for the planet and for human health.

EAFC Nice – Ecole Académique de la Formation Continue (France)

Project coordinator, EAFC Nice leads governance, administrative coordination, and pedagogical oversight. As a key player in teacher professional development in France, it promotes scientific culture, international cooperation, and the co-construction of innovative educational practices across Europe.

INSPE de Nice – Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l'Éducation de l'Académie de Nice (France)

An academic partner of the project, INSPE de Nice brings its expertise in teacher training, both initial and in-service. Its role is central in designing training pathways, testing innovative pedagogical approaches, and supporting teachers as they integrate environmental and health issues into their teaching.

NIEP – National Institute for Education Policy (Bucharest, Romania)

NIEP, through its GeoEduLab – Applied Geophysics, Prevention, and Education Laboratory, contributes to EASE as a research and education partner. It integrates Earth and climate science with STEM education, developing hands-on tools and training to help teachers and students use real data for understanding climate and environmental change..

Richard-Hallmann-Schule (Trappenkamp, Germany)

A forward-thinking school committed to pedagogical innovation, Richard-Hallmann-Schule contributes its on-the-ground experience in climate, science, and digital education. It tests EASE materials in real classroom contexts and involves both teachers and students in hands-on and participatory science activities, helping to anchor the project in everyday educational reality.

Open and collaborative governance

A multidisciplinary steering committee — composed of scientists, educators, and engineers — ensures the scientific and pedagogical quality of the project’s outputs.

EASE’s progress will be shared through:

• biannual newsletters,
• European meetings,
• and training sessions open to all teachers interested in innovation and sustainable education.
