Toolkit
Hi educator!
Welcome to our online toolkit. Here we share all kinds of information and materials related to our project and the core question ‘How to empower the young?’ You, as a teacher, parent or museum educator, have an important role here — and so it’s important that you feel equipped and seen.
We give you theoretical background and guide you to articles and further reading. We also share the activities that we are developing within our project. Hover over the picture below to discover the contents of the toolkit — each part of the picture links to a different subpage. Feel free to browse and use whichever part you need. We are still working on the toolkit, but we are happy to share the first results and documents here.
Let Dotty, the furry talking object we developed within the Empower the Young (ETY) project, guide you to find answers to your questions.
Is there anything else you would like to know more about? Please reach out to us through our partners.
All the best,
The ETY team — Naturalis, BAMM!, WisMon, GoWonder and
Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve
