Last year was a pivotal one for the TEAM#UP project. We launched a platform featuring educational materials on ecological restoration, which are currently undergoing revisions. Feedback on the Czech materials consistently highlighted the need for better methodological guidance for teachers, particularly regarding practical activities. That is why, this year, in collaboration with external colleagues, we have further refined the materials to make them easier to use in the classroom.
To verify their readiness and clarity, we pilot-tested them in collaboration with the Waldorf Lyceum in České Budějovice. The first lesson focused on promoting biodiversity in cities and cost-benefit analysis, while the second focused on the restoration of species-rich meadows. Both lessons will also be used in classes at the VOŠ and SZeŠ Benešov during the Greening Week course in mid-June.
Thanks to the feedback, we received a number of insightful comments that will help us further improve the materials. Our goal is to create comprehensive teaching lessons with variations for different group sizes and time allocations, ready to use in the classroom without extensive preparation.
We would like to thank Anna Šlechtová (Scout Institute), Eva Bínová (Waldorf Lyceum), and all the students who participated in piloting the lessons.
