Brief description:  CS4ESD (Citizen Science for Education in Sustainable Development) is a three-year Erasmus+ project that is a collaboration between schools, universities and organisations in Wales (UK), the Basque Country (Spain) and Greece. CS4ESD uses citizen-science based tools and mobile applications to equip students to engage more deeply with our natural environment and associated digital and location-based data.

The project includes study tours for all students involved to three UNESCO Biosphere Reserves – Dyfi (Wales), Mount Olympus (Greece) and Urdaibai (Basque Country) where we will use these tools and resources in the field. CS4ESD focuses on developing educational resources that will result in developing global citizenship amongst our students during lessons underpinned by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
