Schools as Enablers of the New European Bauhaus
The fantastic summer school took place in Greece. During the NEB-LAB Eco²Schools Summer School, participants developed concrete climate action plans so that their schools can be transformed into innovation hubs in their communities, raising citizen awareness activities to facilitate social innovation, promote education and training for sustainability, conducive to competences and positive behaviour for a resource-efficient and environmentally respectful energy use.
Based on the principles of the New European Bauhaus, the NEB-LAB Eco²Schools Summer School showcased ways to create buildings that inspire forward-looking, inquiry-based learning, and a sense of ownership among students and building stakeholders alike. Furthermore, it went to demonstrate that educational organizations (schools, universities, science centers) can act as drivers for the development of green neighbourhood “living labs” (Designing project-based, experiential learning led by schools with parents, local businesses, the wider community).
