Geoschools Teaching Materials Booklet
The Geoschools Booklet is a multilingual collection of lesson plans and geoactivities designed to support teachers in delivering climate change and geoscience education. Developed by educators from Iceland, Poland, Romania, and Turkey, the booklet features adaptable classroom materials inspired by local landscapes and global challenges. Lessons explore topics such as renewable energy, glacial and volcanic activity, fossil records, and the impact of climate change on ecosystems. The activities are interdisciplinary, linking science, geography, and civic engagement, and many include field-based tasks and student-led exploration. The booklet is available in English and national languages and was tested in classrooms throughout the project.

Geoschool Policy Framework
One of the key structural outputs of the project is the shared Geoschool Policy, a document designed to guide schools in embedding climate education and sustainability into everyday teaching and school culture. The policy draws on the experience of all four partner schools and outlines how to build lasting partnerships with geoparks, create student-led initiatives like GeoEducation Clubs, and connect climate topics across multiple subjects. It includes examples of activities, long-term planning ideas, and steps for community engagement. The policy is flexible and can be adapted by other schools wishing to become GeoSchools and strengthen their commitment to environmental education.
Webinars and Online Training
To expand the reach of the project and support teacher development, the Geoschools partnership organised a series of webinars and online events. Topics included how to teach climate change through local case studies, the use of renewable energy in Iceland, fossil evidence of past climates, and the role of geoparks in education. These sessions involved both students and teachers and often featured interactive elements such as polls, videos, and follow-up tasks. The webinars were recorded and are available for use by educators, training providers, or teacher networks. They serve as a practical and accessible way to promote cross-border learning and share the project’s methods with a wider audience. [PDF]
Interactive Educational Materials and Digital Tools
In addition to printed resources, the Geoschools project produced a wide range of digital learning tools. These include interactive quizzes, games, visual presentations, and classroom activities created using platforms such as Genially, Nearpod, LearningApps, Wordwall, Kahoot, and Quizlet. Developed by both students and teachers, these tools explore topics like climate systems, local geology, sustainable habits, and environmental protection. They offer flexible, engaging ways to bring climate education into the classroom and support different learning styles. All digital resources are freely accessible and can be used or adapted by other schools.
Geoschools learning apps
These projects are different in the sense of how they aim to assist students in their learning about geological phenomena as Reykjanes Geopark as well as teach about sustainability and climate change. These projects serve as well as a guide to different ways to engage students in learning activities. Some of these platforms do require teacher to sign in but these platforms are in the beginning free and you can use them without paying.

- Mizou
This is an interactive platform where you can make a chatbot that interacts with students on subjects on your specification. It can be a quiz, talk, research or in other ways. Teachers post to student through link or qr code. Student do not log in or give their personal information. They enter a name and start interacting with the chatbot. Teachers will get a summation on the talk and can evaluate if they prefer. The site does require the teacher to log in, but it will give free student access up to few each day. Link for teachers or other to open and send to students to research the Reykjanes Geopark through a chatbot as well as taking in consideration sustainability and climate change. - Nearpod
This is a teaching platform that allows you to make lessons tailored to your students. Here we have a lesson that focuses on Reykjanes Geopark but involves in the end the critical thinking towards sustainability and climate change and the ability to make changes in their (students) own life. - Quizlet
This is a platform for learning concepts or big topics. The topic is split into flashcards and students can practice their understanding by engaging in learning, test and match among other things. Teacher can also teach this live with a whole class. Here the focus is mainly on sustainability and climate change. The topic is represented with the focus of positive activism and ideas on how each person can make an impact. - Liveworksheets
This website allows you to send worksheets to students for them to work on. Once they are done, they can email their work back to the teacher through the site. This project focuses mainly on the names of the tectonic plates around Iceland as well as the “hot” sites on Reykjanes Penincula. - Learningapps
A simple image game to open to the wonders of Reykjanes Unesco Global Geopark.
