class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following more than a year of work and international collaboration, the project &#8220;EcoMystery &#8211; Interactive Escape Rooms for Climate Crisis Awareness and Civic Engagement in School Education&#8221; has reached a significant milestone: the completion of its core educational materials, which are now available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomystery.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official project website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funded by the Erasmus+ programme and coordinated by EPC, the initiative aims to promote education on the climate crisis through innovative teaching methods designed to actively engage both students and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 educational pathways for teaching and understanding the climate crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The materials developed within EcoMystery include two complementary training courses, designed to meet the needs of teachers and students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Teachers\u2019 Advancement Programme:<\/strong> a training programme designed to help teachers deepen their understanding of climate-related issues and acquire innovative teaching tools and methodologies, including the use of educational escape rooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Escape the Climate Crisis Coursework:<\/strong> an educational programme for students, consisting of interactive modules and hands-on activities aimed at raising awareness of climate challenges while fostering critical thinking and active citizenship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through these resources, EcoMystery aims to make learning about climate change more engaging and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

December 2026, the testing of educational materials will begin in schools across the partner countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this phase, teachers and students will have the opportunity to make practical use of the resources developed by the project, integrating them into school activities and contributing to their evaluation through observations and feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of this testing will enable the European partnership to identify potential improvements and refine the materials before their final publication and dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Italy, EPC will provide direct support to two pilot schools: the Antonio Fogazzaro State Comprehensive Institute in Noventa Vicentina (VI) and the Salvo D&#8217;Acquisto Comprehensive Institute in Follo (SP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EPC will assist both institutions in organizing and carrying out the experimental activities which will continue until the end of February 2027 thereby facilitating the application of the methodologies developed within the framework of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a

a national webinar for teachers at the end of November, aimed at presenting the educational materials developed and encouraging their use in Italian schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
