Abstract

The symposium focuses on four initiatives to promote climate literacy in the educational community. The "Open Schools for Climate Protection" program (2017-2019) included actions to raise awareness and sensitize students and the local community on energy conservation. The student conference in Elefsina (2023) among others focused on 21st-century and sustainability skills for all stakeholders. Additionally, the "Schools for Climate" initiative supports members of the educational community on climate change issues. Finally, the FEE’s "Eco-Schools" program, with the support of the Greek Society for Nature Conservation, promotes sustainability in education globally.
