We are pleased to invite interested colleagues to an evening seminar discussing joyful learning about cultural heritage with focus on sustainability. Warmly welcome on Monday the 20th or Wednesday the 22nd of May at 6 p.m.! (The same seminar will be given twice.)

The seminar combines two projects, the initial From Dinosaurs to Grandmother – Back to the Future, and the newly launched Erasmus+ project Sustainability from the Start.

From Dinosaurs… investigates 5-year-old children’s thoughts about “the olden days”, and how to use culture heritage for learning, whereas Sustainability… aims at strengthening knowledge about sustainability and sustainable development, and how to teach it to young children and involve them in dialogue about time and history. During the seminar we will present ideas based on both projects of how to work with young children and cultural heritage linked to sustainability.

Some more information:

The From Dinosaurs to Grandmother– Back to the Future project was a great success. It received several awards, for example regarding education for sustainability (OMEP, The World Organization for Early Childhood Education) and was nominated for the Swedish UNESCO Prize 2021 and FUISM (Pedagogy in Swedish museums) prize 2021. In April 2024, the method was presented at OMEP’s Europeans assembly and conference.

The course Sustainability from the Start is free of charge and available via the app ECE Academy (AppStore or Google Play). The app contains eight modules that have activities for children and was developed in an Erasmus+ project during 2022-2024, by Kristianstad University in Sweden, OMEP in Euope, and edChild.
