The project includes 3 main work packages concerning content development:
Work package n°2 – Circular STEM Training Development:
This WP will develop a training methodology for teachers of STEM subjects in secondary schools, supported by a competence framework, based on the European Framework of Competences in Sustainability (GreenComp) and on level 4 of the European Qualification Framework.
Furthermore, this WP will develop training content that will give teachers access to lesson plans on selected circular economy challenges, which will inspire them to design their own lesson plans.
These two outcomes will train teachers on how to teach the circular economy in an interdisciplinary way, making connections with the curriculum and real-world challenges.

Work package n°3 – Circular STEM Academy:
This WP will create a virtual space (the Circular STEM Academy) in which to store the digitised version of the training methodology and training content, so that it will be available anytime and anywhere for teachers and education professionals.
This WP will also develop a Toolbox containing tools and resources to be used by teachers and educators to improve the interactivity of their lesson plans.
Work package n°4 – EU Policy Paper:
The objective of this WP is to develop an EU policy document on how to integrate circular economy education into the school curriculum through STEM subjects.
