ViewOur mission
Co-funded by the European Union, THINKIDS proposes a practical "authentic learning approach" based on EU key competences for lifelong learning and the UN sustainable development goals to support teachers/educators and children (3 to 11 years) to find coherent between what they think, what they want or feel, and what they do.
THINKIDS will be enhancing early childhood and primary teachers' initial education, as well their continuous professional development by equipping them with atheoretical curriculum and a practical handbook with 24 educational authentic learning resources focusing on the 8 key competences for life long learning and the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The pillars of the project are:
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are part of the 2030 Agenda action programme for people, the planet and prosperity, promoted by the UN.
