Don’t miss the chance to showcase your climate education SLEs initiatives at the Education for Climate Day 2025, on 23 October.
Selected project coordinators will be invited to Brussels on a travel-funded visit to participate in the hybrid sessions and meet other participants across the European Education Area active in climate education.
Submit your application by 5 September 2025.
Thematic Areas
1. Schools as living labs for sustainability
Positioning schools as sustainability hubs that foster environmental awareness and embed green practices into everyday life through infrastructure, behaviour, and community engagement.
Do you work on transforming schools into active participants in sustainability efforts?
Specifically, how can schools function as centres of ecological action and awareness where students, staff, and the wider community engage with real-world environmental challenges? What models exist for supporting these whole-school transitions, and what roles do design, policy, and pedagogy play?
Additionally, how can these initiatives remain rooted in local context while aligning with broader goals ensuring that what works in one school can inspire many others?
2. Good practices integrating GreenComp framework within STEM teaching and learning
Exploring how sustainability competences take root in STEM education through inventive, real-world learning that merges scientific thinking with environmental responsibility.
Do you work with STEM educators or learners?
Specifically, how can the GreenComp framework be meaningfully embedded into the teaching and learning of STEM subjects? What kinds of methods, such as hackathons, workshops, games, or hands-on experiments, best promote system thinking, responsibility, and agency among learners?
Additionally, how can these practices remain deeply engaging and context-specific, while being adaptable and replicable across diverse educational settings?
3. Citizenship education
Empowering future generations with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to navigate global challenges through education that builds climate-conscious, tech-savvy, and socially engaged citizens.
Do you work with learners or educators on citizenship education?
Specifically, how can teaching and learning approaches foster active citizenship in the context of the twin transition, the digital and green transformations shaping our future? What kinds of innovative, action-oriented methods can best support this goal?
Additionally, how can these initiatives help young people connect global challenges to local realities, while remaining relevant, inclusive, and scalable?
