SUPPORT

Partnership and participation for a sustainable tomorrow


The SUPPORT project has received funding from the EU Comenius Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013. The responsibility for this information lies solely with the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training.

General Prescription of the Project

The goal of the SUPPORT project is to promote and enhance the quality of education for sustainable development by linking schools, research institutions and communities in a web-based network.

SUPPORT will generate and spread knowledge about four main ways to enhance the quality of education for sustainable development: schools collaborate with other schools, schools collaborate with local communities, schools collaborate with research institutions and these kinds of innovative collaboration are facilitated by ICT tools.

Annual report on the development of the project in 2007

The SUPPORT project started up late autumn 2007 as a Comenius Network project under the EU Comenius Lifelong Learning programme. The EU approved the project in mid-october. A secretariat has been established at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and a web page and information materials are in the pilot phase as of February 2008. Activities and events so far include an Arion study visit (UK Nov. 07), a Comenius contact seminar (Budapest Nov. 07), the first advisory board meeting (Nov. 07), the first partner meeting (UK Jan. 08) and an ICT workshop (UK Jan. 08). An ICT development team has been established to develop ICT tools and the climate campaign to be launched autumn 08. Partners are now developing action plans. Evaluations of events have been conducted and the partners have discussed quality criteria for ESD and success criteria for the project. The evaluation criteria and evaluation methods for the project will be formulated by March 2008.

Planned development and activities in 2008

In 2008 the project will enter the implementation phase with several events for teachers and experts as well as launching of an ICT-based climate campaign for schools in the autumn. Please see the project calendar which is under continual revision and updating as several of the events have been revised. A second partner meeting will be held in September where the partners will report and reflect on their progress as related to the action plans they have made, and revise and update their action plans accordingly.
