The Horizon Europe project LOESS: \u2018Literacy boost through an Operational Educational Ecosystem of Societal actors on Soil health\u2019 officially started in June 2023. Under the EU Mission \u2018A Soil Deal for Europe\u2019, twenty partner organizations will be joining efforts during three years to map, co-create, and test methodologies and tools in fifteen countries across Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Kick-off meeting of LOESS was held between 12th and 13th July in Bonn, Germany with the hosting of WILABonn. It started with the discussion of \u2018The LOESS vision and mission: A common understanding & the LOESS objectives and continued with the Introduction by Maria Jos\u00e9 Amaral, Research Project Manager, REA \u201cExpectations from the LOESS project\u201d. After reviewing the project management (WP-1) led by WILABonn, each work package (WP2->WP7) was dealt with in detail by the help of leaders.\u00a0 Thanks to the guest speaker\u2019s (Prof. Willi Xylander, Senckenberg) contribution for \u201cIncreasing awareness for soil biodiversity and protection – The international touring exhibition \u2018The Thin Skin of the Earth\u2019\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The final goal of the LOESS project is to raise awareness on the importance of soil and its functions and to increase soil literacy across Europe. For this purpose, the consortium will be working to map and connect multiple actors and provide an overview of the current level of soil education related offers; to identify educational needs on soil health literacy; and to co-create and pilot a variety of courses, modules and learning tools. Such tools and methodologies will be distributed by campaigning and promoting hands-on activities related to soil education through Community Engaged Research and Learning (CERL). All in all, LOESS will boost soil literacy by building an educational ecosystem that enhances capacity building, knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer learning amongst the addressed target groups.<\/span><\/p>\n
