RE: Citizenship education and tackling disinformation in schools
Resources for schools on disinformation
How to spot and fight disinformation - a toolkit for teachersCitizenship education resources
Schools can offer children early democratic experiences, both taught and practical. However, January’s experts, Janis Fifka and Anya Suprunenko from the European Youth Parliament, say that educational institutions often mirror a non-participatory system that inadvertently reinforces passiveness rather than encouraging active engagement. January’s practice article showed how different projects are trying to activate youth participation ahead of the June elections.
A ballot box does not make a house of democracy
Understanding your voice: youth participation in an election yearOur January news articles explored how schools involve children in decision-making in different ways, to ensure that they adopt a democratic mindset, grow into active citizens, and gradually develop a sense of responsibility towards society as a whole.

RE: One Small Step for you,One Big step for Sustainability.There is always Something to improve !
since I am a life and earth sciences teacher, we often organize ecological outings with our students, some of the parents accompany their children with us (of course with their own means of transport (, therefore our team of 'in teachers and regional management), take this opportunity to share our objectives with them and thus expand our cooperation with them, moreover I teach in a small community called Jendouba (Northern Tunisia) where the majority residents know each other

RE: Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences
Hello Shazia
Virtual Reality (VR) in life sciences education offers immersive, interactive experiences that enhance understanding of complex concepts. It allows students to engage in virtual dissections, explore ecosystems, conduct lab simulations, and practice medical procedures in a safe, controlled environment. Platforms like zSpace, The Body VR, and Labster provide high-quality content for diverse biological studies. Despite challenges like cost, technical issues, and the need for teacher training, VR significantly enriches the learning process, making abstract concepts tangible and engaging.

@Samreen-Tahir
Inclusive teaching practices can have a profound impact on student self-esteem by creating a supportive and accepting environment where all students feel valued and respected. By acknowledging and celebrating diverse identities, inclusive teaching helps to challenge stereotypes and biases, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance among marginalized students. Through collaboration and communication with peers from different backgrounds, students can build empathy and self-confidence. Ultimately, inclusive teaching empowers students to see themselves as capable and deserving of success, transforming their self-esteem and academic performance.

RE: Learning to Preserve Nature Together
Hello ShaKhnoza
Learning to preserve nature together strengthens community bonds and promotes effective environmental stewardship through collaborative education programs, hands-on activities like tree planting and clean-up drives, and initiatives such as community gardens and urban farming. Participating in citizen science projects and advocating for sustainable policies further enhances these efforts. Sharing resources and knowledge through online forums and local meet-ups, as well as encouraging intergenerational learning, ensures that conservation practices are passed down and continuously improved. This collective approach fosters a culture of sustainability and more impactful, lasting conservation efforts.

RE: Our first action planting trees
Hello Shakhnoza
Planting trees significantly reduces pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide, filtering air pollutants, and releasing oxygen. Trees cool the air through shade and transpiration, reducing the urban heat island effect. Their roots stabilize soil, preventing erosion and reducing waterway pollution. Additionally, trees act as sound barriers, decreasing noise pollution, and support biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem resilience. Overall, trees contribute to cleaner air, water, and a healthier environment.

RE: Planetariums as Astronomy Education Tools
Hello Antonia
Planetariums serve as powerful tools for astronomy education, offering immersive experiences that bring the cosmos to life for audiences of all ages. Utilizing advanced projection technology, they can simulate the night sky, celestial events, and even the entire universe in a controlled, indoor environment. This allows for dynamic and interactive learning experiences that are difficult to replicate in traditional classroom settings. Planetariums can enhance understanding of complex astronomical concepts, foster interest in space science, and provide an engaging platform for teaching topics such as the movement of planets, the lifecycle of stars, and the structure of galaxies. By creating a visually stimulating and educational experience, planetariums play a crucial role in inspiring the next generation of astronomers and space enthusiasts.
