The mission of the project is to educate Icelandic elementary school students about climate and environmental issues, and the project is funded by the Climate Fund. Katr\u00edn Hulda Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, an expert at Mat\u00eds has worked on the project together with Justine Vanhalst, project manager at Mat\u00eds. Katr\u00edn shares with us the journey of the project from the beginning.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;It was pleasing to see how interested and really knowledgeable the kids were about the effects of climate change. It soon became clear that this is an issue that is on their minds and they are very aware of the discussion that is taking place in society at the moment.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Green entrepreneurs of the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;I had just finished a teacher training course where I had learned various concepts such as problem-solving learning, student-centered learning and gamification. When I saw a job advertised to work at GFF, I thought it was a perfect fit. It both fit well with the philosophy I wanted to adopt as a teacher, addressed issues that I consider important and would give me experience in creating learning materials. I applied for it and have been here ever since,&quot; says Katr\u00edn Hulda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You don&#039;t have to look far beyond a dose to have an effect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;The goal of GFF is to arouse the interest and increase the knowledge of primary school children about climate and environmental issues, innovation and sustainable resource use in order to mobilize them in the fight against climate change and encourage them to green innovation.&quot; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;This was done by providing innovative and interesting education and engaging them in conceptual work and innovation in cooperation with companies in the local area with a special focus on environmental impact and resource use. With that, the intention was to strengthen relationships between parties within the students&#039; home areas and show them that often you don&#039;t have to look far to be able to make an impact.&quot;&nbsp; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;With innovative education, we were mainly thinking about making it exciting, impressive and empowering for the kids.&quot; It has the effect of reducing climate anxiety. In order to combat climate anxiety among children and young people, it has been recommended, among other things, to tell them the truth, give space to difficult feelings and allow them to take part in the fight. The authors of the GFF curriculum had this in mind when writing. Katr\u00edn Hulda explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenges following Covid 19 were solved with resourcefulness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;The goals were achieved and the project went better than we dared to hope. Of course, the organization changed a little due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but the schools were incredibly resourceful in sorting things out. As an example, in Sau\u00f0\u00e1rkr\u00f3k it was not possible to visit the companies due to a ban on visitors, due to the Covid mass restrictions. Instead, the students received visits from the companies, where they were told about their activities. There were presentations, videos and many other things, and it seemed like a great success.&quot; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_110337-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Nessk\u00f3li <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli4-1-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Year school<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;Feedback from teachers and other participants came out very well, and was very valuable in refining the project for the next round.&quot; It can also be mentioned that there is a great lack of study materials on climate and environmental issues for this age group, and therefore there is a certain gap that the project fills in,&quot; says Katr\u00edn Hulda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did something new or even unexpected come to light?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;It was fun to see how good the kids are at innovation. Not only do they come up with brilliant ideas, but they also showed good work practices and achieved a lot in a very short time when the MAKEathons took place. MAKEathon is an innovation competition where you compete to come up with the best solution to a given problem. In our case, the competitions took place over two days and the kids made prototypes, models or posters of their solutions to environmental problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was pleasing to see how interested and really knowledgeable the kids were about the effects of climate change. It soon became clear that this is an issue they are passionate about and they are very aware of the debate that is taking place in society at the moment. Moreover, there was a great will to fight among them, but they feel that this is the biggest problem facing the rest of the world,&quot; says Katr\u00edn Hulda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/GFF3b.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47032\" width=\"486\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/GFF3b.png 840w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/GFF3b-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/GFF3b-768x567.png 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/GFF3b-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;It was possible to localize the projects according to the needs of each individual school. The teachers took the projects and made them their own, for example, teachers at Grunnsk\u00f3li Bolungarv\u00edk linked the subject matter to the history of Bolungarv\u00edk, and teachers at Sau\u00f0\u00e1rkr\u00f3k took advantage of the opportunity and used the one experiment to teach their students how to report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;It was also cool to see how empowering the MAKEathon was for the students. Having the opportunity to deal with &quot;real problems&quot;, ie. the same problems that the adults in their immediate environment face, seemed to give them new assumptions and ambitions. It was very important to them that this was not just some textbook example that was then put in a drawer and never done anything more with.&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first year of the project ended with a bang and the impact is not hidden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;The first year of the project, hopefully of many, ended this spring with a bang. The national MAKEathons competition, GFF&#039;s innovation competition, was held and the results were presented during Innovation Week. All participants were very satisfied and there seemed to be a great desire to continue the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact has primarily been on the students. They have learned a lot, both academically, ie about climate change and its effects, but also practically, i.e. work practices An increased understanding of the nature of climate change and its effects, among other things, on their local environment has been achieved. The kids&#039; perspective on their hometown changed as a result, as well as on the companies that operate there. They learned to see opportunities in their local environment. FabLab smidjarnar and Dj\u00fapi\u00f0 Frumkv\u00f6\u00f0setur came in strong, but their expertise includes teaching kids innovation and entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teachers have also received new weapons in their pedagogical arsenal, both in terms of theoretical knowledge and also new teaching methods. Hopefully, these methods will continue to be useful to them, whether they teach environmental science or some other subject. We must not forget the impact the project has had on us. We are full of inspiration and would like to take the students, and their creativity, as our example,&quot; says Katr\u00edn Hulda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/arskoli-surnunsjavar-2-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Year school<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13-1980x1485.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/13.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Bolungarv\u00edk elementary school <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/matis.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220426_112738-1980x1485.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Nessk\u00f3li<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the next steps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;The course material itself will be made available online as agreed.
