Making science education extra relevant
How do you make pupils from primary and secondary school curious about science? The European project COSMOS believes that opportunities grow when you integrate relevant societal issues into science education.
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCE) have become fully-fledged research domains over the past decades. Djapo plays a unique role in these, as we bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Below you find an overview of some of our research projects. Would you like to know more about our methods, projects and teaching materials? Please contact colleague Sabine Anné.

How do you engage with elementary school pupils around sustainability issues? And how do you structurally anchor this approach as part of GCE in teacher education? Djapo searched for answers, together with the preschool and primary education teacher training programs at Vives and Howest.
How to create a quality ESD learning environment in a blended learning context? Djapo explored the question with four European partners in the Erasmus+ project Digital Destiny.
Djapo participated in 'Global education for teacher educators through international Lesson Study', a project that aims to develop teacher educators' global citizenship competences through the Lesson Study methodology.
