Supporting Earth Science in school education
Convener: Teresita Gravina | Co-conveners: Maria Eugenia Dies Alvarez, Joana RodriguesECSECS

The session aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between educators, academic institutions, and science communicators to enhance school-level Earth Science education. Earth Science is a compulsory topic in many European school curricula and a critical subject for understanding global challenges, but often lacks prominence in educational activities. This evidence is confirmed by the decreasing number of students enrolled in earth science degrees at university level. This session will showcase projects, teaching strategies, and educational resources designed to engage students and increase the relevance of Earth Science in the classroom. Presentations will highlight successful initiatives from teachers, schools, universities, and outreach programs, offering a platform for discussing best practices and challenges. Participants are invited to share their experiences and ideas to create a stronger network of support for Earth Science education.
