The “OUTSIDE Toolkit for TEACHERS: Environmental Education through Open- Schooling” is the first result of the Project. The main purpose of the Toolkit is to guide teachers in implementing the three steps of the OUTSIDE methodology.

According to the needs identified and the gaps observed both during the desk and the field research, the OUTSIDE consortium developed this Toolkit that intends to respond in an effective way to teachers willing to apply environmental education through the open- schooling approach that will result in the creation of sustainable green projects designed by students.
