'Going Green' is an intercultural blended-learning project and the product of a partnership between the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, Leuphana University Lüneburg, and LIFE e.V. In a pilot project in 2014, German and U.S. students explored approaches to sustainable development collaboratively through an e-learning platform (Moodle). Starting in September 2015, “Going Green” is now part of a larger teaching platform Teach About US with updated content. Schools throughout the U.S. and Germany will navigate through web 2.0 applications and social media, and exchange their findings. They will publish their local initiatives online and contribute them to concluding regional student conferences on and around Earth Day 2016. Read more on the teachaboutus.org homepage
