BNE-Portal Lehrmaterialien:
Statt über Büchern zu brüten, vernetzen sich Schüler bei Going Green mit Partnerschulen und Experten in Deutschland und den USA, um lokale Projekte zu globalen Umweltthemen umzusetzen. Die Blended Learning-Plattform beinhaltet interaktive und aufgabenbasierte Lernmodule zu den Themen Plastik und Recycling, Mode, Ernährung und Mobilität (auch als PDF). Fremdsprachenkompetenzen und BNE werden interdisziplinär vermittelt. Schüler präsentieren Projektideen in einem jährlichen Kreativwettbewerb.
