QRiosity Park is an exciting new initiative that seeks to transform urban green spaces into dynamic learning environments. By engaging both educators and students through an innovative mobile app, the project promotes environmental education and encourages active learning. In an age where children are becoming increasingly digitalized and disconnected from nature, QRiosity Park aims to bridge that gap by fostering a deeper connection to the environment and promoting sustainability. The project empowers students, enhances teacher competencies, and integrates outdoor experiences into traditional learning, ensuring a lasting impact on education.
Activities and Implementation
QRiosity Park is set to implement a variety of engaging and impactful activities. At its core is the development of a mobile app that will serve as the foundation for an outdoor treasure hunt game, designed to engage students and teachers alike. This app will guide participants through urban green spaces, providing them with fun, educational challenges that promote environmental awareness.
In addition to the app, the project will create a detailed handbook for educators, offering them resources and guidance on how to incorporate environmental education into their teaching. To promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing, QRiosity Park will also facilitate transnational meetings, where educators and stakeholders can exchange ideas and best practices. Extensive dissemination efforts will be made to ensure that the project reaches a wide audience, maximizing its impact across different communities and institutions.
Expected Results and Impact
QRiosity Park is expected to deliver several impactful outcomes. Key results will include the creation of an innovative mobile app, a comprehensive handbook for teachers, and a toolkit to support environmental education in urban green spaces. These resources will enhance teaching practices, engage students in outdoor learning, and promote eco-consciousness.
In the long term, QRiosity Park aims to build a community of practice that continues to integrate urban green spaces into education. By cultivating environmental awareness among students and educators, the project envisions a broader societal shift towards sustainability. Through these efforts, QRiosity Park will create lasting educational and environmental impact, inspiring future generations to embrace eco-friendly practices and a deeper connection to nature.
