About the Project

Eco2Schools aims to demonstrate that educational buildings can become enablers of the New European Bauhaus. This is proposed to be achieved by:

• integration of pedagogical targets regarding sustainability into the curriculum,
• re-considering the relationship of the schools with the local communities as hubs of innovation towards the green transition and sustainable development and,
• ongoing development of a roadmap on how schools can become a physical place of education and knowledge.

Project Timeline: January 2023 - December 2025 (36 Months).
