The Green Project is a initiative that focuses on creating powerful and engaging audiovisual content produced by VET student. The project highlights good sustainability practices that are being implemented in Aragonese companies, allowing students to see that global problems should be addressed locally.

Extracurricular workshops in the schools for increasing the awareness of the children about the world of plants and natural history with fun and motivating activities.
The big idea is to motivate the kids to involve their teachers and parents, so together to act to improve the surroundings around the schools, the places for play and living spaces.

Albaponik is the first hydroponic project in Albania, a private initiative for sustainable living in the city.
We strongly believe in green urbanization, which connects our life with nature. We propose low-cost units using hydroponics to be implemented in terraces, kinder gardens, and schools. With our personal initiative, we implemented a pilot unit in a public kindergarten, the Ministry of Agriculture with the primary objective of informing and educating about sustainable agriculture.

Young people acted as the source of ideas. They were and are still involved in all phases of the planning process, together with experts. This also applies to the conception of the architecture, the construction of furniture and the ground plate of the future café.

Contemporary art provides the method, the participants give their ideas and expertise. Everyone wins.

It is a collective work, moderated by two instructors and created by a group of residents prompting them to rethink and imagine their place of life. The physical result is an art book, which is a contemporary form of silve rerum (sometimes described as multi-generational home chronicle) and resembles a cross between a diary and an atlas. Through this collaborative, fully manual artwork, we can see how diverse images describe our common place of life.

During the first lockdown the project NO CRASH was born. It is an ongoing project that focuses on dignity and safety as indispensable values in every workplace and how they can be implemented through music, dance and architecture (Goal 1-8-10).

In the heart of the major interior rural area of Portugal, Beja, where school failure is one of the highest in the country, new science students, initiating the 5th grade, were surprised by Scientists at their door. The challenge was to transform them into little hands-on scientists. Playing, interacting, and dazzling while they are learning, becoming aware of their territory, and getting more softer skilled, is what is making up science classes!

Our direct response to climate change and global warming is encapsulated in our “Cooler schools, Schooler Planet” education proposal, for a change starting from schools. Our faith in how much impact schools can have in the wider society is showcased through our specially designed programmes aimed at teaching and learning outdoors, which essentially means enabling hands-on experience with our surroundings, with our very own nature. To make this possible, we redesign curricula accordingly.
