Sessions were delivered in partnership with GeoA\u00e7ores \u2013 the Azores UNESCO Global Geopark, which provided scientific insight and guided visits to key geosites including Monte Brasil, Algar do Carv\u00e3o, Furnas do Enxofre, and Serra do Cume.<br \/>\nThe training also included curriculum development workshops, peer learning sessions, and interactive presentations by Portuguese students already piloting the EMME materials. Teachers had the opportunity to discuss how the curriculum can be adapted to their local contexts while maintaining the core mission: connecting students to the memory of the Earth.<br \/>\nParticipants left the Azores with renewed energy, stronger bonds, and practical tools for bringing the EMME curriculum to life in their schools. The experience highlighted not only the power of collaborative European education, but also the value of place-based learning in today\u2019s classrooms.<br \/>\nNext steps in the project include curriculum testing in all partner countries, finalization of the mobile learning app, and upcoming student mobilities in the UNESCO Global Geoparks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From June 22\u201328, 2024, teachers from Romania, Portugal, Slovakia, and Croatia met in the Azores for Erasmus+ EMME training, combining workshops, field trips, and cultural visits to develop and adapt the curriculum.
