Objectives

The general objective of NaturNet-Redime is to support sustainable development by improving knowledge about all aspects of sustainability and provide education mainly about social, economic, and environmental tools for the implementation of the EU Strategy on Sustainable Development at both EU and international levels . Naturnet-Redime will establish connections with other running projects like IQ TOOLS, SUSTAINABILITY A-TEST, MULTAGRI, METHODEX, TIGRESS, INSEA, KASSA, etc to support learnng about their tools.

There are two main approaches of the NaturNet-Redime project, which originate from the two proposals that have merged to create the combined project. The first is the NaturNet - Redime portal, which focuses on innovative presentation of different tools and data sources for learning about sustainability. The second is learning through modelling, where learners develop deep understanding of causes and effects by developing their own models of particular systems - using Qualitative Reasoning (QR). This approach will also be accessible to the public via the NaturNet-Redime portal.

Project co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme (2002-2006)
