A total of 21 secondary education teachers participated in the training.

Our trained teachers plan to implement the programme with their students during the upcoming September/October (Stage 2 of EIT)

The last training session took place face-to-face at RISE’s premises in PWC Julia House, Nicosia. The three-hour training session included a hands-on experience with the Visual tools of the EIT programme: The Pentagonal Problem, The Context Map and the Cover Story. Driven by Problem-based Learning (PBL) Pedagogy, the participating teachers, in small groups, were called to investigate an authentic climate challenge and propose a viable solution.
