“Why I Teach Soil” Campaign – Wrap-Up
The CURIOSOIL “Why I Teach Soil” campaign, which ran during the first half of 2025, aimed to raise awareness of soil health and promote soil literacy among teachers and students. Launched in December 2024 at the CURIOSOIL Winter CoP meeting, the campaign focused on empowering teachers and school leaders to champion soil education.

Like the broader project, the campaign’s core aim is to unlock the creative potential of soil education by showcasing innovative and enjoyable ways to bring soil science into the classroom.

During the summer CoP meeting in June 2025, the project communication team will present the main results and impacts of the campaign to the CoP members. The main objectives of this presentation are to share insights into the campaign’s performance, present the beta version of the CURIOSOIL Curiosity Kit, and provide educators with an outdoor activity plan to use with their students. The team will also conduct an interactive activity to spark the CoP members’ creativity in teaching soil in an engaging and fun way.

The CURIOSOIL Community of Practice is a platform bringing together stakeholders from diverse sectors to contribute to the development, piloting, and implementation of soil education initiatives.
