Abstract

The article is based on a study of the Anthropocene project (Erasmus+ programme), developed within a partnership of schools, education and ICT institutions from four European countries: Belgium, France, Italy and Romania. The project focuses on the new environment challenges brought about by two economic and digital accelerated developments and highlights the role that school can play in preparing young people to manage them. The project aims to help teachers to prepare young people for the new environment in three steps. To this end, it suggests studying how these challenges are addressed in political, societal and educational spheres, raising educators’ awareness and offering resources to make teachers’ work more effective. The article introduces the project’s objectives, outputs and activities. It also gives insights into the research conducted in Romania to explore how the environment and digital issues have been addressed in the education system so far.

Keywords: economic and digital accelerations, environment challenges, education.
