GROW - Green Realities On their Way: how to build a just world together with young people

Enabling didactics relies on learners themselves determining what and how they learn, while teachers support them in the process. Discover the handbook GROW!

Discover the handbook developed during the project GROW: Green Realities On their Way.

The aim with which the handbook was created is to bring about change through active participation. Pedagogical principles such as enabling didactics, process orientation, empowerment, self-efficacy, experiential education and education for sustainable development (ESD) are therefore of central importance.
Enabling didactics relies on learners themselves determining what and how they learn, while teachers support them in the process. Learning is understood as a dynamic, individual development process that builds on the resources and potential of the participants, particularly in the case of economically and socially disadvantaged groups. Empowerment and self-efficacy play a key role in helping participants to recognize their own strengths and take responsibility for contributing to the promotion of biodiversity.

In this handbook you can find a series of games and activities connected to climate awareness, social justice and active participation of young people within their communities. The activities are outdoor based so that it gives the opportunity to young people to reconnect with nature.

“Grow: Green Realities on Their  Way” was a project funded by the European Union and managed by Nell Breuning Haus from Germany in collaboration with organizations from Poland, Bulgaria e Italy.
