At the event we held at the Faculty of Education at Akdeniz University Education Faculty, we worked with student teachers to explore soil not just as a subject, but as an interdisciplinary learning tool.

At the start of the event, one of the Scientix Türkiyer Ambassadors, Çelebi Kalkan joined us online to share:

  • Sustainable development goals and education
  • Sustainability goals related to soil
  • Future skills and green skills
  • The Scientix network and opportunities
  • STEM Discovery Campaign & Soil Guardians Award

and shared his field experiences and perspectives on these topics.

Following that, with the trainee teachers,

-We re-examined the role of soil in education.

-We discussed how it can be integrated across different subjects.

-We developed ideas that can be adapted to their own lessons.

Soil is not just content; it is a tool for thinking, questioning, and making connections.

With LOESS, ANS is preparing future teachers for sustainable education.
