“Science Action in Schools for Sustainable Development (SAS4SD)” brings together expertise from Swiss institutions of higher education and in partnership with institutions in Ghana and Cameroon, to collectively develop and implement teaching programs for science curricula that will, through interac- tive engagement, enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of scientific theory, data and appli- cations, and at the same time link theory to practice to raise awareness about sustainable development goals and ways to achieve these goals. The four pillars of the project are data collection from the Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) weather stations, development of teaching materials, research activities, and community initiatives.
