Going Green is a transatlantic school project that aims to foster interest in innovative sustainability research across the curriculum including the humanities, languages and STEM/MINT subjects, to encourage civic engagement, and develop job qualifications for young people. It is part of the Moodle-based blended learning platform Teach About US. In this workshop, participants will:
- explore local and regional case studies of sustainable policies in the U.S.
- review a fully developed project curriculum for teaching sustainability and American studies in the English-language classroom (aligned with the topics 'Q1: Aspects of society' and 'Q2: Science, technology, ecology' in the Saarland curriculum)
- examine sample learner products and project ideas by previous participants
- experiment with hands-on interactive teaching materials and blended learning tasks
