Description of the practice

The climate crisis is evolving rapidly, and so is the state of our natural systems—making it a challenge for educators to keep lesson materials up to date. At the same time, teachers are uniquely skilled at translating abstract concepts into meaningful, real-world learning experiences for their students.

So how can we work more efficiently and stay current? By sharing lesson materials. Collaborating with other educators allows us to pool knowledge, adapt resources for different target groups, and ensure our content remains relevant and engaging. The good news: technology is on our side. Digital platforms now make it easy to connect with fellow teachers—locally, regionally, and internationally. High-quality translation tools also help make content accessible across languages.

Sharing lesson materials isn't just practical—it's an inspirational powerful way to advance Education for Sustainable Development.

Implementation Tips and Insights

Start in your own school – Sit down with colleagues who teach the same or related subjects and begin sharing your lesson materials. You’ll likely find overlaps and opportunities to co-create or improve existing resources.
Connect with regional peers - Reach out to other schools in your region with similar educational profiles. Explore possibilities for collaboration in developing or adapting lesson materials together.
Go beyond borders - Use online platforms to exchange materials and ideas with teachers in other countries. This broadens your perspective and brings fresh, diverse insights into your classroom.
