The Digital Platform is developed to strengthen environmental awareness and to stimulate the participation of the educational communities towards behavioural changes contributing to higher levels of sustainability. It is aimed to act as a safe space for interaction among the various ECF4CLIM actors. The concept for the digital platform was defined through dialogues with stakeholders and by desk research.
Designing a safe space for interaction among ECF4CLIM actors
Crowdsourcing processes
Through online discussions we collect data from different types of communities to have their voice heard in the process.
The aim of crowdsourcing is to find out the barriers and possibilities in sustainability education at schools and universities, and outline what kind of tools educators and other stakeholders have for promoting sustainability competences. We will collect data from different types of communities to have their voice heard in the process.
Tools for Environmental Assessment
It gives access to a set of user-friendly tools for educational communities and citizens: the Environmental footprint calculator, the retrofitting toolkits 1 & 2, and the Sustainability Interventions Evaluation.
Monitoring & Data Tools
The IoT Ecosystem functions as a data aggregator, collecting information, including energy consumption and temperatures, from various schools and universities participating in the ECF4CLIM project. The tool provides dynamic calculation and visual analytics over key performance indicator (KPI) measurements and helps the educational community to test different interventions aimed to improve the KPIs.
Learning Space
It gives access to educational resources designed to improve citizens’ awareness, learning and capacity for climate actions and sustainability.
These educational materials are divided into materials for students, for teachers and games.
