Learning to act: STEAM Education for Sustainable Development
Siemens Stiftung joined forces with the Universidad Austral de Chile to train teachers on sustainability and climate change in the Chiloé archipelago. The island is over 180 km long and is home to the small village of Compu with 318 inhabitants and the José Santos Lincomán School with 33 students and 8 teachers. The joint project trained citizens in sustainability using the STEAM approach. The project leader who trained 5 teachers from the school reported that the experience was very well received by the teachers. In addition to the teacher training, the students also carried out STEAM experiment projects. They investigated the type of waste polluting the waters, concluding that the most significant share came from individual homes. They presented these findings at the local community centre, educating their parents on waste management and raising community awareness on climate protection.
