‘Save Our Planet’ is an educational board game developed by VIVES University of Applied Sciences (Ghent, Belgium) for the third cycle of secondary education. In preparation for this game, this learning module was developed in collaboration with MNEXT. This learning environment is freely available to everyone and can easily be completed from home, potentially in the form of a self-study assignment.
The learning environment of ‘Save Our Planet’ is a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) consisting of four modules: The Motivation Behind a Bioeconomy, The Basic Principles of a Successful Bioeconomy, Circular Economy and Sustainable Product Development, and The Role of Agriculture and Food Packaging in a Bioeconomy. The modules consist of short educational videos (in English with Dutch subtitles) and/or self-study texts, supplemented with graphic materials (total duration: 2 hours). After each learning module, there is a short quiz (3 multiple-choice questions).
The modules are available in both English and Dutch. The learning environment is aimed at students older than 16 years but is recommended for anyone interested in bioeconomy.
