NBS EduWORLD Assessment framework and guidance for the project
This report provides an overview and analysis of assessment tools for NBS education in the European region. Based on mapping, desk research and interviews, it finds that most of the reviewed student assessment tools constitute authentic assessment. Online NBS courses are more likely to adopt conventional assessment methods, such as formative and/or summative tests, due to the nature of the online learning environment. There is an unequal distribution across education levels, with continuous professional development for teachers and vocational education and training providing very few examples of assessment tools. In institutional assessment, there is a clear lack of incorporation of NBS education, although many NBS evaluation frameworks exist. The report also presents the guiding framework for NBS EduWORLD, built upon a project intervention logic, lessons learnt from previous project tasks and consultations with the Consortium and Advisory Board members. They are structured according to crucial project stages: Strategic vision and leadership; Understanding NBS education; Implementing NBS education, and Building the NBS EduCommunity.

NBS EduWORLD Baseline Assessment Template
The baseline assessment template provides guidance to the Tier-2 partners, to explore their current NbS education landscape. The template has been developed keeping in mind that there might be many interlinkages and complex connections among the set cornerstones. However, to get a comprehensive picture, almost all cornerstones have a crucial role in determining the structure of the NbS education landscape in terms of policies, finance, governance, and businesses, etc. This will be the basis for carrying out further work with the Tier-2 partners to support them in identifying, prioritising, and implementing their NbS education initiatives.

NBS EduWORLD Knowledge Stream: Guidelines on Implementation of Nature-Based Solutions Activities in Education for Starters
The guidelines have been designed to address the requirements of educators with little to no prior knowledge of nature-based solutions (NBS). They provide a step-by-step framework for understanding, implementing, and integrating NBS concepts into different education settings, covering formal, non-formal and even informal education. The guidelines incorporate hands-on activities, recommendations, and practical examples to facilitate educators in effectively conveying NBS-related content to their students. By considering the needs and limitations of the Knowledge Stream, the guidelines aim to build a solid foundation of NBS knowledge among educators and empower them to unlock the potential of NBS education.
