Geoschools: Where Geoscience and Climate Education Meet

Over the past year, GeoCamp Iceland has been proud to take part in the Erasmus+ project Geoschools: Innovative Teaching of Climate Change in Schools. The project brought together educators and students from Poland, Romania, Turkey, and Iceland in a shared mission: to strengthen climate education through geoscience and bring learning to life in geoparks and the natural world around us.

The Geoschools project was developed in response to a growing need among teachers for practical, field-based tools to teach about climate change and sustainability. With the Earth facing complex environmental challenges, the project aimed to equip young people with green skills and critical thinking, rooted in an understanding of geology, biodiversity, and place.

Through a series of four international mobilities and ongoing collaboration, we co-developed teaching materials, created a multilingual booklet of geo-activities and lesson plans, and designed a board game that makes learning about climate change and the Earth’s systems both fun and engaging. These resources are now freely available on the project website.

For GeoCamp Iceland, the project aligned perfectly with our mission of using Iceland’s dynamic landscapes as nature’s ultimate classroom. During the project we had the pleasure to host our partners in Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark, offering a powerful environment to explore geothermal energy, plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and the visible impacts of climate change.

Beyond the resources, Geoschools built a vibrant network of schools and educators committed to long-term change. We launched GeoEducation Clubs, developed local geoeducation policies, and hosted teacher training sessions and webinars to continue the work beyond the project’s end.

We invite educators, students, and anyone passionate about the environment to explore the Geoschools outputs and bring these tools into your own classrooms and communities.

Visit www.geoschools.eu/outputs to explore and download the materials.

This project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union and led by Szkola Podstawowa in Barciany, Poland, with key contributions from partners in Romania, Turkey, and Iceland.
