Teaching methods
Schools4Change aims to promote, within all participating schools, an approach based on global teaching, ICT for quality education, and new teaching methods.
Global Teaching approach
Global teaching provides free standardized courses for schools to access and disseminate knowledge about current affairs in a fair and clear manner. The challenges of the present time influence the educational needs and methodologies of international schools, which evolve based on emerging topics and available technology.
ICT for Quality Education
Digital technology is a vital tool for quality education, providing fair and sustainable access to digital pedagogy-based resources that cross physical, political, and social boundaries. This technology is used in virtually every country in the world and provides free and unlimited access to high-quality educational resources, allowing future generations to engage as future citizens and workers.
New teaching methods
Innovating educational methodologies allows for the discovery and experimentation of new skills and approaches to school subjects. Student-centered approaches, such as debate, flipped classroom, and media education, actively engage learners in the learning process. Integrated educational approaches utilize digital formats as high-quality learning tools, creating engaging and stimulating educational experiences.
Skills area
The Schools4Change platform also supports students in acquiring cross-cutting skills and knowledge, applicable not only to school curricula, but also to the social and professional contexts with which the younger generation will soon come into contact.
In particular, the courses on the platform help students acquire skills in creative problem solving, design thinking, teamwork and collaboration, and project-based learning.

Schools4Change courses involve anayitic and creative workshops, in order to help students learn hard and soft skills, such as analytical and critical thinking, creative problem solving, stress and time management.
