Objectives
Empowering Children for Environmental Sustainability through E-STEM / ecosySTEM
The EcosySTEM project aims to empower children and youth in the Black Sea region by integrating environmental education with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Through innovative E-STEM modules, the project addresses key environmental issues like biodiversity, water management, renewable energy, and waste management. Specialized training centers will provide resources and facilities to educate children, while international collaboration fosters knowledge exchange and best practices among partners. Ultimately, the project seeks to create a generation of environmentally conscious individuals capable of contributing to sustainable development and tackling ecological challenges.
