Abstract

In the period 2017-2019 the project Schools open to climate protection and energy saving, 2017-2019, Berlin-Athens, was designed, developed and evaluated, aiming to inform and raise awareness among students, the wider school community and the local community, as well as to reduce energy consumption in school buildings. 72 primary and secondary schools of the Municipality of Athens, 198 teachers and 3,000 students participated. For the needs of the project, a 10-step methodology was developed and used in schools, equipment was purchased and distributed for experimentation in schools, professional development processes took place to support teachers’ work. Finally, a quantitative and qualitative data survey was implemented that highlighted the impact of the programme on the human resources involved and ultimately resulted in data, analyses, interpretations and recommendations for use by the municipality. The paper presents the objective of the project, its philosophy, its main innovative elements, such as the proposed methodology and good practices, as well as some key results from the research that followed the project.
