- Environmental education is extremely important when it comes to protecting environment and consequently survival of life on Earth. Agenda 21 which is a big international agreement, have called for a ‘re-orientation’ of all education towards sustainability. From this point of view, a project was launched with the purpose of developing new curriculums in Cyprus on environmental education. Through the development of innovative and technology-enhanced curriculum materials the project aimed to empower awareness of Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot teachers and students on issues pertaining to the environmental problems in Cyprus, and how solving these problems can bring the communities on the island together. In the context of the project, curriculum materials were prepared and workshops were offered to teachers. By using a combination of face-to-face and online strategies, educators collaborated on developing and implementing projects and activities on environment and technology. Collaborating teachers gave opportunity to work in teams to identify specific thematic units in the areas of environment that are critical to both communities and which will serve as the focus of the professional development program. During this project, five new curriculums were prepared about environmental education and discussed with teachers.
