Why Outside?

What's the idea behind it?

To empower both students and teachers as change agents in their local communities.
The competencies that today's students need to succeed in their careers can be hardly developed within traditional curricula.
These competencies involve:

Outside the Classroom

Mapping the environmental needs, interests and opportunities of the local communities, experimenting new forms of learning, opening a dialogue with different socio-economic actors of their local community.

Think Outside the box

Identification of the business ideas, development of critical thinking skills and boosting a sense of initiative, improvement of teamwork skills needed for turning environmental issues into green business opportunities.

Go outside

Developing innovative and sustainable solutions in line with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, mapped to an innovative framework.

Open communities of Learning

For a Sustainable Development

Outside is implemented in 5 European countries (Italy, Belgium, Croatia, Lithuania, UK). The Partnership is made up of 5 Schools and 4 Organisations active in the field of sustainable development & entrepreneurship
