The aimed physical goal of ECO²-SCHOOLS open cooperative lab is : creation of beautiful useful transformed spaces, with shared added value, reduced environmental and social footprint, augmented positive handprint.
What will be different in 5 years ?
is concerned schools will live a shift of their place of learning,
the young students will test-learn-consolidate-upscale the systemic renovation process (lead a local climate action plan),
they will live this experience with their families and an open circle of stakeholders in their neighbourhood/village, that will step by step follow and co-engage.
The way we see the school will have changed, this will be open and connected to a new generation of offers/habits in the neighbourhoods/villages.
For starting this very positive change, you are welcome to share your intention :
to join the Lab as volunteer pilot-site,
to be associated in the program as follower school/city.
This is the right moment/right place for the NEB community, schools and interested stakeholders to step in the challenge.
(* the open cooperative Lab activities are started since 24-25 January 2023, Kick-off event in Athens).
