Pistes Solidaires is an association located in the South-west of France that develops its projects and actions according to UNESCO’s 4 pillars of education: learn to know, learn to be, learn to do, learn to live together and with the others.

Our goal is to make possible that each young person may benefit from the unique experience of international educational mobility. Education goes hand in hand with openness to the world and an understanding of local / global interdependencies.

Pistes Solidaires bases its work on non-formal education methods, particularly those based on experiential learning. Environment, inclusion, employment, senior citizens, young people, school dropouts, migrants are all issues with a European dimension that can be addressed in new ways. Research and innovation are at the heart of this work area.

gymnastics…

The school follows the standards of quality of the European System UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2008, first certified in 2007-08 and extended every year.

About the project

Main mission of the project

This project proposes a training plan aimed at teachers and students in Secondary education (12-16 years old), focused on the development of Ecological Intelligence, that is, “to develop the capacity of each individual to discern the impact of his or her actions on the environment that surrounds him or her. The aim of THEMIS is to develop attitudes, habits, ways of feeling and thinking that build awareness of being an integral and active part of a large ecosystem. Thus, generating an awareness of more sustainable and environmentally friendly consumption values and behaviours, THEMIS has these specific objectives:

  • To disseminate and raise awareness of the concept of Ecological Intelligence.
  • Understanding of the impact that our actions have on the environment.
  • As pointed out by UNESCO, to achieve a change of attitude on the part of the partners and participants.
  • To acquire and develop social values and a deep concern for the environment.
  • To encourage active participation in the protection and improvement of the environment.
  • To connect with the natural world and its social, economic and health implications…
  • To improve understanding of the ecological impact of our lifestyles.
  • To become aware of our relationship with the environment.
  • To develop cognitive and affective skills towards the environment.
  • Supporting quality environmental education in the context of lifelong learning.

 The main activities of the project include:

  1. PROJECT RESULTS (PR)
  2. MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION WORK PACKAGES  
  3. PROMOTION

Results of the project

PR1: A training system with 20 modules for Secondary School teachers on the Eco-Intelligence model proposed by Daniel Goleman to generate more sustainable and environmentally friendly consumer attitudes and skills in students. 



PR2:
A bank of 24 resources and educational activities for the development of Ecological Intelligence
in Secondary school students (14-17 years old).



PR3:
A series of 20 video case studies in relation to the practice of
responsible and sustainable consumption, which can be used as a didactic resource focused on raising awareness and
commitment to ecological awareness.

Project is funded by the EU.

Impact of the project

The environmental situation has deteriorated to the point where we are living in a climate emergency. Therefore, now more than ever, environmental education becomes an essential factor. In this sense, the expected impact of THEMIS on
participants, participating organisations, target groups and other possible stakeholders will be quite relevant.

In relation to the tharget groups,
THEMIS will generate the following impacts:

  • With the development of PR1, it will support teaching staff as well as other stakeholders supporting learning processes, as it will increase the key competences
    of students, as well as facilitate, lifelong learning in the context of secondary education.
  • Through the inclusion of EQ in
    PR1, PR2 and PR3 as a pedagogical innovation, THEMIS reinforces education in a transversal way and will improve the continuity of student competence development through innovative approaches to learning.
  • This project, in line with
    the recommendation of the Council of Europe (2018/C 189/01), will mainstream the ambitions of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by intensifying the acquisition of knowledge related to the limitation of natural resources, the threat of climate change and the use of natural resources in a sustainable way.

or the participant organisations and their staff, THEMIS will generate the same impacts as described above, but in a more specific way.
