Reset Earth: Toolkits for engaging learner experiences

Zamia Media partnered with a wonderful South African organization, Roof Top, in supporting the UNEP Ozone Secretariat to prepare and launch Reset Earth, a set of free toolkits to support teachers looking for creating engaging learner experiences with new material on environmental awareness and protection.

In commemoration of the International Day of Education in January 2022, the UNEP Ozone Secretariat has launched Reset the Earth, a set of free toolkits to develop innovative teacher lesson plans and student workbooks. Understanding the need of creating innovative virtual learning material, this initiative combines animation and gamification, targeting for the education of tweens (8-12-years-old) to increase their awareness about the importance of ozone layer and environmental protection. The toolkits have also been adapted for print and the episodes are available in a comic format for universal access.

The Outcomes

In this Spirit, Reset Earth is guided to build-up four global competencies dimensions: (i) examine local, global and intercultural issues, (ii) understand and appreciate the perspectives and world views of others, (iii) engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions, and (iv) take action for collective well-being and sustainable development.
