To gather, adjust and develop so-called ‘didactic bricks’ to support teachers to prepare and perform lessons and interdisciplinary learning projects, so they can facilitate 10-15 year old students in developing creative solutions on real-world sustainability challenges. Students grow hope and develop entrepreneurial skills, when participating in real actions in service of other people and the planet, while learning.

The project consists of (1) Brick concept development, based upon (a) teachers' needs and national landscapes of learning materials (b) alignment with the GreenComp framework and (c) an integrated Whole School Approach.
