The Global SCP Clearinghouse is a one-stop hub bringing together the SCP community worldwide as well as offering harmonized information and a knowledge platform that will lead to more innovation and cooperation towards SCP implementation.
PERL partners are focusing on helping individuals and educators increase their awareness, learn new skills, share insights and cultivate partnerships. This is being done by 15 international workgroups collaborating during the coming three years. They will create and test learning methods and materials, contribute to curriculum improvement, hold student contests, research attitude and behaviour change, share best practices and do much more. For details see the PERL work plan.
