In Austria, the Lichtenfels School is actively engaged in the EcoPodcasts initiative, serving as a pioneering institution by piloting the go.ecopodcasts platform. Under the guidance of teacher Daniel Truppe, students from the 5th and 7th grades at the gymnasium are enthusiastically participating in several podcast sessions.
Inspired by the "2040 - We save the world" and the "TED-ED Earth school" video, which sparked discussions among students about various environmental issues, the class embarked on a journey to explore topics concerning environmental presence. The curriculum delved into vital aspects such as environmental protection measures, recycling practices, sustainable food choices, and combating ocean pollution, among others.
Encouraged to collaborate either in groups or individually, students not only shared their perspectives but also presented thoroughly researched materials in the form of podcasts, which are disseminated through the project platform.
