Join Us in Advancing Soil Literacy with CURIOSOIL

We are excited to remind you of our involvement in CURIOSOIL (Awakening Soil Curiosity to Catalyse Soil Literacy), a four-year, EU co-funded project led by the Universidade de Aveiro. This initiative is designed to enhance soil education and address the growing need for a better understanding of soil amid increasing human pressures on this essential resource.

CURIOSOIL uses hands-on Soil Experiences to deepen public comprehension of soil dynamics, helping to establish a connection between individuals and soil. By developing educational products, curriculum standards, and teacher training programs, our project aims to increase the appreciation of soil value and align with the EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe.” We aim to integrate soil health into EU school curricula by 2030, fostering awareness, knowledge, and behavioural changes for a resilient and climate-smart future.

We Need Your Help!

We are currently seeking assistance in collecting educational soil resources. We need existing digital resources for soil education in the consortium languages (DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, NL, NO, PT, SI). Our primary focus is on the EU and Europe, but notable examples from countries outside Europe are also welcomed.

Our target audiences are:
