Joint Eco-Schools Project Awarded by the Estonian Education and Youth Agency

Joint Eco-Schools project awarded! 

The Estonian Education and Youth Agency awarded Hob’s Adventure Handbook, a co-operation project between Eco-Schools from Estonia, Iceland, Latvia and Slovenia, the Annual Best General Education Project Award Kuldõun (Golden Apple). Hob’s Adventure was presented at the Eco-School’s National Operators Meeting (NOM) 2020 in the Netherlands. It has come a long way and is now invited to compete for the European Innovative Teaching Award (EITA)!

The compiled handbook aims to teach biodiversity to 5-9-year-old students and has been translated into English, Estonian, Icelandic, Latvian and Slovenian. It has found new life in projects in several countries and also in everyday school use. The activities incorporate innovative methods such as hands-on learning, digital tools, project-based learning, and outdoor learning.
