Green Club

Empowering Education for Sustainable Futures

Challenge: How to creatively engage educators and students in understanding and implementing sustainability and circular economy principles within educational frameworks.

Traditional educational approaches often fail to fully convey the urgency and relevance of environmental issues, leading to a disconnect between knowledge and action. The artistic intervention serves as a powerful tool to bridge this gap by using hands-on, creative activities that allow participants to experiment with materials, transform waste into valuable resources, and visualize sustainability concepts in tangible ways. By incorporating artistic practices into the workshops, such as crafting recycled objects and designing environmental sensors, the initiative inspires participants to think innovatively and critically about their environmental impact.

This creative engagement not only enhances learning outcomes but also fosters a deeper emotional connection to sustainability, motivating educators and students alike to adopt more responsible practices in their daily lives and teaching. Participants takes part in two practical trial workshops and a roundtable discussion focusing on sustainability and circularity in education. They have the opportunity to continue using the Green Club platform in their educational practices even after completing the workshop. Additionally, schools are given the chance to register for an online air quality sensor via internet connection, enabling them to contribute to a citizen science environmental data map.
