LOESS-The Project LOESS wil map, connect and engage multiple actors in Communities of Practice (CoPs) to provide an overview of the current level of soil related knowledge amongst pupils (primary and secondary levels), students (tertiary level), and young professionals and society actors across the European Union and Horizon Europe Associated countries. LOESS will investigate why existing material isn't used to a greater extent to co-create and develop teaching programmes and materials, courses and modules for soil education including virtual reality/ augmented reality applications. These resources will target different stages of education and connect global and local challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss and the Sustainable Development Goals. LOESS will carry out activities in 15 countries and provide hands-on activities related to soil education through Community Engaged Research and Learning (CERL) to overcome the awareness gap. LOESS will organize focused campaigns and events to exchange knowledge, promote discussion on the results and encourage higher uptake. LOESS will also engage with public authorities and institutions responsible for primary, secondary and tertiary education and provide targeted recommendations and resources for improved knowledge enhancement. Capacity building, knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer learning will accompany LOESS' education and dissemination activities.
