Shape our educational platform for sustainable development and contribute your own ideas!

We are looking for people interested in sustainability & education nationwide to join our team in the further development and dissemination of the educational platform "Planet-N: Nachhaltig<keit> lernen" (www.planet-n.de). The educational platform was built by volunteers and supports teachers in implementing Education for Sustainable Development in everyday school life. You can get a better picture of the platform by watching our short explainer video (https://youtu.be/tDhRAOGtE7A). There are very many ways you can advance Planet-N. So we're sure to find an activity that fits you and your interests or ideas - whether it's a short evaluation, assisting with press relations, or creating classroom content. Previous knowledge in your field of interest is certainly helpful, but absolutely not necessary, we see ourselves fully as a learning project.
To give you a better idea of possible fields of work, here is a small selection, in which can be lived out at will, but we are always open to further:): 
IT, evaluation, further development of the website, accessibility, further development of school content, workshops, networking, public relations, press work, social media, etc.

Whatever you like, our first ideas:

CONTENT

Creating new modules - Planet-N grows with its content. There is still a lot of need for expansion, especially in the modules. Especially, but not exclusively, in the following subjects, we want to offer even more content: Physics, Chemistry, Bio [biodiversity], French, Economics [post-growth economics, etc.], Music.

Elementary School Modules - Currently our work is focused on grades 7-12, but so far we have met with some interested teachers from lower grade levels as well. If you're interested in creating content for younger students, go for it.

Translation of Stories - We would like to make our stories usable for foreign language classes as well. That's why we are currently translating our stories. We are mainly looking for English, Spanish and French. In principle, we are also open to other languages.

Illustrate diagrams - To make our website more attractive for learners, we would like to include more diagrams in our modules. So if you are artistically talented or just enjoy design, we would be happy to have your support.

INCLUSION

Sign language translation for videos - To make our platform more inclusive, we would love to add sign language videos to our videos.

Convert modules and stories into readable pdfs - The pdfs would have a double benefit. On the one hand, a read aloud feature can be integrated so they can benefit more people from our site. On the other hand, it can reach schools where there is no (stable) internet access.

Expand Hover Dictionary - We are in the process of adding a hover dictionary to our platform. This means that difficult terms/technical terms will be expanded with further links and explanations. This way, learners can access more detailed information.

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Social media work - A task that doesn't require a lot of effort, but does require regular posting. Planet-N currently has an Instagram account that would appreciate more maintenance and outreach. We would also like to establish Planet-N on Twitter as well.

Workshops - From time to time we hold workshops to attract new teachers and learners to us. In addition to helping us lead workshops, we are always looking for new opportunities to hold workshops.

SCHOOLS

Recruiting teachers and schools - Experience has shown that this works best through personal contacts. So if you could get your old school involved in the project, a lot would be done. We are especially happy if teachers and learners try out the platform and give us feedback.

Test school support - Our test schools need to be supported and contacts need to be maintained on a regular basis. If you feel like it or want to recruit new ones, this is the job for you.

It's a learning project, feel free to contribute your experience and skills, but otherwise just learn.

We are happy to adapt to your capacities in terms of time and appreciate any time you invest in the sustainable education platform. You are also not tied to a specific location for your volunteer work, as we live in different places and therefore meet digitally for team arrangements

If you are interested or have any questions we would be happy to hear from you!
