The PEBES project (2022-2024) was created by merging the strengths and needs of four universities in three countries: Finland, Botswana, and Namibia. Our aim is that future professional teachers, educators and environmental experts gain transdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of dynamics related to biodiversity and sustainability, and how to apply this knowledge in the society with diverse pedagogical methods. It is only through close collaboration among professionals from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds – and with involvement of communities – that the global challenges of biodiversity loss and unsustainability can be faced. The project is funded by the Finnish National Agency of Education, under the Team Finland Knowledge (TFK) programme.
