Empowering Environmental Education: The Role of ICT in Fostering Awareness and Sustainable Practices

Abstract

This paper explores the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Environmental Education within the Greek school context. Through 20 thematic sections, it examines how ICT fosters emotional engagement, creative expression, collaborative learning, and systems thinking among students. Drawing on recent Greek case studies and literature post-2015, it highlights practical applications, challenges, teacher training needs, and issues of digital equity. The analysis shows that when used pedagogically, ICT can transform knowledge into action—strengthening the connection between school, society, and nature. Despite access and support limitations, ICT is shown to be a powerful bridge between learning and sustainable change, provided it is used with purpose and inclusivity.
