The SYNAPSES Community Portal for Teacher- and School Leadership supporting resources on Sustainability practices launched on 31 May 2024! Check it out here!

The platform is an online portal that will support educators in teaching and leading for a sustainable future. But change starts with small actions. The platform contains resources, best practices and even whole learning journeys catered for just that. Teachers and school heads can connect to peers with similar goals. Join national and international groups to share inspiring practices and engage in conversations with colleagues.

Browse our easy-to-search resource and good practice page to find what you need. Connect to local and international colleagues in our German, Greek, Portuguese, Czech, Swedish, Dutch and international community pages. Find upcoming events and start or boost your journey towards implementing sustainable practices and thinking methods into your school and day-to-day teaching.

The learning Journeys are created to be used on their own, to contribute to your professional development and at your own pace. At the same time, they align with the SYNAPSES summer school and national workshops and activities that are part of the SYNAPSES Academy. Combine in-person events with learning through the Community platform for the true SYNAPSES effect.
