Sammanfattning

One of eight aims of the EU Mission Soil, is to increase soil literacy in society. One way to do that would be to reach out to teachers and inspire them to involve soil topics in their teaching. Therefore PREPSOIL Task 6.2 aimed to identify good examples of soil education and learning activities for youth and communicate them with teachers and pedagogic representatives across Europe. During 2023 and 2024 teachers were invited to share their good examples on soil education targeting primary, secondary and vocational training pupils. A committee which consisted of three teachers, one soil scientist and one pedagogy actor selected winners and runners up from selected finalists. All in all, the two calls received more than 50 submissions, with a broad range of examples of natural, urban and agricultural soils in interdisciplinary learning (science, humanities, etc) using multiple senses. We conclude that a lot of interesting and inspiring pedagogy work concerning soils are happening in Europe! The challenge to reach the intended teachers to share their work proved to a challenge, despite reaching through known networks and channels at national pedagogic and teacher contact points. Knowledge about the national school context and cooperation with wellknown and reputable actors, whose communication channels as well as communication in national language can help promotion and sharing of good teaching examples across Europe.
