ÖRESUNDSKLASSRUMMET



The project Öresundsklassrummet - young people's participation in the sustainable society of the future 


The main aims of the project Öresundsklassrummet is to promote everyday integration in the Öresund region and to engage students and teachers in envisioning a new learning process for a sustainable society. 
It is to promote everyday integration in the Oresund Region. Around 25 teachers and 300 students from eight elementary schools in Lund, Malmö and Copenhagen are directly involved in the project, increasing the students’ participation in planning their education.

The main components of the project is: 
1) a cross-border collaboration between students in the age of 13-15 across the Öresund
2) learning circles, where teachers and researchers together can reflect on teaching and learning processes 
3) development of new methods and concepts of education for sustainable development.

The students gained a deepened reality-based knowledge about the themes of green mobility and technology, an insight into productions of goods and environmental consequences. They get a deeper understanding of how decisions are made and implemented in a municipality.

What are the problems and challenges in Öresundsklassrummet?
