Education on the bioeconomy including bio-based sectors for young people in primary and secondary education in Europe

BioBeo是一个为期两年、耗资200万欧元的项目，有15个合作伙伴，架起了理论和实践的桥梁。其总体目标是制定和部署一项教育方案，利用5个生物经济主题：互联性、户外学习、林业、水下生活和食物循环，加强全社会对生活方式、循环性和生物经济的理解和参与。一个致力于促进生物经济概念的网络将共同创建和共同交付该方案。BioBeo将通过制定循环经济科学-社会信息，特别关注循环生活方式/行为，以及关于全社会参与生物经济政策的治理框架，更好地协调生物科学与学校教育之间的关系。BioBeo将解决性别偏见、弱势青年群体、移民和有额外需求的社会成员等社会问题。我们将1.提高学前、小学和中学各级青年对可持续和循环生物经济的环境、社会和经济效益的认识2.确定体制和文化障碍3.为教育和信息材料开发创新的方法和数字工具包4.在爱尔兰、比利时、荷兰和德国的35所学校、1,000名大学生、1,800名家长/监护人和100名教师中开展BioBeo试点教育方案5.表明年轻人的参与度有所提高，他们有意从事生命科学教育和事业，技术和生物经济6.加强对社会内与生物经济有关的进程的治理，让欧洲公民从小到大积极参与决策7.协调沟通和传播，以优化对学生、教师、政策制定者和家长的影响和可见度。BioBeo将通过提高全社会的认识和激励欧洲青年追求STEM相关职业，为过渡到可持续的欧盟循环生物经济做出贡献。

BioBeo is a 2 year, €2M project with 15 partners, bridging theory and practice. Its overall aim is to develop and deploy an education programme to enhance understanding and engagement acrosssociety regarding lifestyle, circularity and bioeconomy, using 5 bioeconomy themes: interconnectedness, outdoor learning, forestry, life below water and the food loop. A network committed to promoting the bioeconomy concept will co-create and co-deliver the programme. BioBeo will provide for better coordination between bio-science and education in schools by developing the Circular Economy Science-Society message with a particular focus on circular lifestyle/ behaviours, and a governance framework on society-wide engagement in bioeconomy policy. BioBeo will address social issues such as gender bias, disadvantaged youth groups, migrants and members of society with additional needs. We shall 1. increase awareness of environmental, social and economic benefits of sustainable and circular bioeconomy among young people at pre-school, primary and secondary school level 2. identify institutional and cultural barriers 3. develop innovative approaches and digital toolkits for educational and information materials 4. pilot BioBeo education programme reaching 35 schools, 1,000 university students, 1,800 parents/guardians and 100 teachers across Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany 5. demonstrate a measured increase in engagement of young people and their intention to pursue education and careers in life science, technology and bioeconomy 6. enhance governance of bioeconomy related processes within society by engaging European citizens from young to old in active policy making 7. coordinate communication and dissemination to optimise the reach and visibility to students, teachers, policy makers and parents. BioBeo will contribute to the transition to a sustainable EU circular bioeconomy by enhancing society-wide awareness and inspiring Europe’s youth to pursue STEM related careers.
