Background

Early childhood education is essential for shaping the attitudes and behaviours of children towards sustainability. The EU encourages the education and training sector to take action to contribute to the green transition and strengthen the sustainability competencies of all learners. In this regard, kindergarten teachers require additional support in teaching sustainability concepts through science. The Superhero Lab project involves continuous professional development of staff involved by integrating the GreenComp into teacher training.

Target Groups

The Superhero Lab project has the following target groups:

Kindergarten teachers

Teacher-trainers working with kindergarten teachers

Children aged 4-6

Objectives

Equip kindergarten teachers with the necessary skills and motivation to effectively conduct the Superhero Lab experiments.

Provide multilingual hands-on learning materials with accompanying teacher support materials.

Conduct local Superhero Labs with 4 – to 6-year-olds in the associated kindergartens and beyond.

“My life coach has been a game-changer, helping me set and achieve goals and improve my overall well-being.”

Enhance the capacity and expertise of 6 European organisations to innovate age-appropriate experiments further.
