Call 2024
GreenUp Awards 2024The GreenUp Award is a seal of quality for educational product related to sustainability.
The GreenUp Award will have its premiere 2024. In 2025 it will also be awarded as part of the Erasmus+ project “Promoting sustainability in adult education through quality assurance in educational product” (2023 – 2025) by a partnership out of 7 EU member states who have been on the jury together for over 20 years in Comenius EduMedia Prize and evaluate and honour digital educational product.
The GreenUp Award recognises educational media that are used in physical or digital form in face-to-face events, in digital education or in their combination known as blended learning. The preferred target group/learners are adults. However, the target group is not an exclusion criterion; educational product for other target groups and educational levels can also be recognised with the GreenUp Award due to their quality.
Sustainability
Sustainability can be the subject of teaching and/or learning or it can be otherwise related to the educational product that should be clarified when submitting the entry. Educational product not related to sustainability cannot be honoured. The sustainability aspects that are evaluated for the GreenUp-Award are described in the quality criteria (see below).
Educational products
Educational products are “products” that are manufactured with the intention of being used in education.
They are didactically structured/designed; typical examples are teaching and learning materials for teachers and learners, like teacher. However, educational media also includes “products” that can be used in education even though they were not created with this intention. They are not necessarily didactically structured/designed, but have a (clear) educational value. We can call them media with educational potential. These include non-fiction books but also fiction, (documentary) films, exhibitions and/or their catalogues, knowledge databases or similar websites.
