Hello to all climate defenders! Ι would like to present to you our Erasmus+ project ActGreenStory (AGS) currently going through a piloting phase in schools.

AGS capitalizing on past projects, and innovative education methodologies and trainings for green skills, with the use of digital storytelling and creativity seeks to empower teachers towards achieving greener behaviors, shaping tomorrow’s climate action change-makers along with the engagement of families, hence following a holistic approach.

AGS kick-off

Digital technologies in all their facets coupled with strong narratives can engage students towards becoming tomorrow’s green stewards. Through this process teachers, students and their environment will identify and act upon environmental problems through creative thinking as active citizens and not just as observers. Our objectives are to:

  • design new-age educational material for students to use technology towards greener attitudes and actions,
  • empower teachers with new methods and tools to urge them activate students’ inner green activist,
  • create accessible online material for further use and capitalization,
  • develop an interactive online platform for the connection of students from all over Europe to take common actions for climate change and become a living network.

The partners in crime are University of Iceland; Stimmuli for social change, Greece; Urban Foxes, Belgium; IN2 Digital Innovations GmbH, Germany; CEIP Los Albares, Spain; Elementary School of Vivlos Naxos, Greece.

We have concluded with our teachers' training for the material we have created and are now initiating the piloting phase in schools. Already, students are excited to use our platform to create their stories with the tools we have created but also going through activities related to active citizenship for climate.
