Plantbox: thematic boxes in the field of environmentand natural resources for Cycle II
The“Plantbox” project comprises thematic boxes that can be borrowed from various libraries at institutions offering teacher training. Each box contains a teaching unit for Cycle 2 of the school curriculum (Lehrplan 21) with teaching and learning materials in the field of environment and natural resources. In particular, the unit introduces pupils to the topic of growing vegetables and herbs. At the same time, it gives them tips on long term learning strategies. As a highlight, the pupils are taught how to grow and cultivate local vegetables and herbs in planting boxes (raisedbeds/microgreens) and learn how a small action can help the environment.

The projectteam created a homepage with ready-made learning units on current sustainability trends, which are selected on the basis of political discourse or current events that are discussed in the media. This gives teachers the opportunity to address timely topics with the class without having to spend a lot of time planning. Learners are sensitised to issues of sustainable development, but also to political processes and the role of the media. Each unit has a multi-perspective and interdisciplinary structure. This project was supported by U Change.
