SYNAPSES

Erasmus+ Teacher Academy · Teaching for Sustainability Citizenship

SYNAPSES brings together teachers, school leaders and teacher educators to develop practical ways to teach sustainability. The academy connects professional development, learning materials and communities of practice. Its whole-school resources support work that spans subjects and involves the wider school community.
