Aims
“OPEN SOCIETIES AND SCHOOLS IN CLIMATE PROTECTION AND ENERGY TRANSITION” aims to the mobilization of the local communities and municipalities for climate protection and energy transition as well as to the energy efficiency of the schools with the substantial participation and collaboration of the teachers, students, parents and local authorities.
In Berlin we have experiences with energy saving projects at schools, environmental centres, refurbishment of school buildings, local authorities. But we have no integrated approach of education system, school building management and social cooperatives as in Athens. So we can learn from each other.
