TERRA - Transformative education for all on the mindful use of resources on a biodiverse, resilient Earth

Logo TERRA

 

TERRA is a biodiversity project aiming at the sustainability development goal “life at land”. The project follows a multi-stakeholder process comprising science, schools, companies and civic society actors and using an intersectional perspective. This means consequentially reflecting on diversity aspects beside gender and considering their impact on didactics as well as in the evaluation research of the project.
