Erasmus+ ETCASE

ETCASE – Education Towards Circular And Sustainable Economy

The international Erasmus+ ETCASE project aims to revolutionize secondary school education by integrating Circular Economy principles and fostering sustainable consumer behavior among youth. Recognizing the impending resource shortages, our mission is to equip teachers and schools with engaging and effective tools to influence pupils’ sustainable consumption habits.

Through a collaborative international effort of partners from Czechia, Germany, Poland, Italy, Iceland, and Slovenia, the project will implement innovative activities encompassing research, practical actions, and educational materials. Our project seeks to transform educational schemes, providing research-based guidelines, innovative instructional resources, and comprehensive training for teachers to inspire and empower the next generation in circular economy practices.

ETCASE runs over 3 years from autumn 2023 to autumn 2026.

  

 

Sustainability is at the heart of ETCASE. In the face of limited resources and pressing environmental challenges, we urgently need a shift towards a circular economy. We want to drive this change from the grassroots level – through educating the next generation. By sensitizing and inspiring young people for sustainability, we lay the foundation for a society and economy in harmony with nature. With innovative teaching methods and hands-on activities, we show that sustainability is fun and everyone’s business. Today’s students are tomorrow’s changemakers!
