The first transnational meeting of the Erasmus+ project Eco Schools took place in Crete on 14–15 October 2025, bringing together all partners — Novatex Solutions Ltd and Lycée Jean-Pierre TIMBAUD — for the first time.

The project aims to equip educators with the knowledge, tools, and skills to integrate sustainability into school curricula, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility among students.

The main goal of the meeting was to plan our next actions and to review and refine the educational materials for secondary and high schools before their finalization. This process ensures that the content is comprehensive, well-structured, and ready for the upcoming teacher training sessions, while also strengthening collaboration and alignment among all project partners.

Day 1 – Meeting and Planning
On the first day, all partners got to know each other and discussed the project’s progress so far. We worked together on planning the next steps, which include:

• Creating training material to help teachers bring sustainability into their classrooms.

• Developing lesson plans for different age groups that connect sustainability themes with subjects like science, arts, and humanities.

• Designing fun and interactive activities and games that make learning about sustainability enjoyable.

• Including real-world examples of successful sustainability practices from around the world.

• Translating all materials into English, Greek, and French to make them accessible to all.

Day 2 – Visit to the Environmental Education Centre of Archanes–Rouvas–Gouves
On the second day, we visited the Environmental Education Centre of Archanes–Rouvas–Gouves, where we:

• Learned about the Centre’s educational programmes and Erasmus+ accreditation.

• Exchanged ideas and good practices in sustainability education.

• Discussed how sustainability can be better integrated into school curricula.

• Explored opportunities for future cooperation between schools.

We also celebrated #ErasmusDays together with the Environmental Education Centre of Archanes–Rouvas–Gouves, the Directorate of Primary Education of Heraklion, and the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, sharing inspiring moments and great energy.

A big thank you to all partners for their participation and collaboration. Together, we continue working towards a greener and more sustainable future through education.
