Schools and School clusters

References in the fields of education, training and youth consider the articulation between higher education institutions and schools of basic and secondary education increasingly relevant, in order to provide scientific-pedagogical cooperation aimed at transferring knowledge and sharing educational projects.

These cooperation objectives are a practice of the Department of Earth Sciences of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, through various forms of interaction with the Schools and School clusters in primary and secondary education, as well as with their teachers.

Understanding the role of Geosciences as a fundamental pillar for understanding the dynamics of planet Earth, for valuing resources and natural heritage, as well as for the construction of a technologically developed and sustainable society, constitutes the mission to be carried out jointly between the Department of Earth Sciences and the Group of Schools that are associated with this project, hereinafter referred to as Associated Schools.
