ESD Science Lab for BUP Teachers
Supported by Baltic University Programme, a short-term project “ESD Science Lab for BUP Teachers” has been realized in May-October 2022 by a joint team of Riga Technical University, Åbo Academy, and Swedesd representatives (Shepherd Urenje and Oleksandra Khalaim). The project team, based both on expertise in ESD methods, teachers education, and a solid practical experience of working with BUP teachers, organized an ESD Science Lab as a series of educational and research coaching events for selected university teachers from the Baltic region, aimed to strengthen their skills and knowledge in publishing scientific research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
More than 20 participants from Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia went through all project activities, including 2-days intensive summer school hosted by Riga Technical University on August 25-26 2022. Following the link, there is a video where both participants and organizers are sharing their feedback on the project and BUP framework. We keep going together!
