Project Description
The OPEDUCA Project is a globally connected network of schools, universities, business companies and government institutions brought together to implement an educational programme for young people that will equip them to promote a more sustainable future. From a holistic standpoint OPEDUCA aspires to fully integrated education by simultaneously developing competences, knowledge and first rate experience about themes that are relevant to the future.
The Charles University Environment Center will work together with the one Czech secondary school involved in the project – Schola Humanitas in Litvinov – to develop themes and learning priorities relevant to the Czech context. It will also work together with other higher education institutions involved in the wider project to synthesise and analyse the results of the ways the various schools develop and apply the project outputs. Universities will also provide advice the schools with advice based on prior ESD research.
