Project Goals
KeyToNature is focused on interactive educational tools for the identification of organisms. It aims at enhancing the knowledge of biodiversity at all educational levels across Europe.
Main Target Group
KeyToNature mainly addresses the formal education systems of Europe, from teachers to pupils, from primary schools to universities.
Objectives
The main objectives of KeyToNature:
- Increasing the access and simplifying the use of e-Learning tools for identifying organisms.
- Addressing the issue of interoperability among the many educational tools devoted to biodiversity across Europe.
- Optimising their educational efficiency and increasing their quality for educational purposes.
- Adding value to them by providing multilingual access.
- Suggesting best practices against barriers that prevent use, production, exposure, discovery and acquisition of educational tools in the biodiversity field.
