Make a difference

Becoming a CoP leader in your country offers a (funded) opportunity to shape soil education at your national level. As a leader, you will guide a national group of stakeholders – including educators, environmental experts, and community leaders – to pilot and implement educational materials that meet your country’s specific needs.

This role empowers you to drive change in your community, forge connections, and spearhead collaborative efforts within your national context. If you are passionate about soil education and want to lead this innovative path, this is your moment to make a difference!

And further:

  • Member of national CoP: Becoming a national CoP-member instead of leading it? Each CoP will have 8–12 members. Cusiosoil welcomes participation from various stakeholders, including science education experts, community educators, members of environmental NGOs or non-profit organizations, technology and innovation experts, agricultural experts, actors from ecovillages or permaculture associations, and others.
