Breaking Barriers to Sustainability: Empowering Schools as Hubs for Systemic Change and Leadership

<< Objectives >>SYSTEM HUBs transform schools into living sustainability hubs, equipping students and teachers with the skills to drive real-world environmental change. Through Living Labs, leadership training, and digital collaboration via The GreenHUB platform, students lead hands-on sustainability projects, while teachers gain practical tools to integrate sustainability into education. By engaging policymakers, SYSTEM HUBs ensures long-term impact, embedding sustainability into school curricula.<< Implementation >>SYSTEM HUBs will establish Living Labs for student-led sustainability projects, train students in advocacy and leadership, and equip teachers through a Civic & Leadership Training Program. The GreenHUB platform will support cross-border collaboration. Two TPMs (Bulgaria, Norway) will coordinate activities, while three student mobilities (France, Slovenia, Portugal) will provide hands-on learning. Policy recommendations will drive sustainability into education systems.<< Results >>SYSTEM HUBs will create three fully operational Living Labs, implement 30 student-led sustainability projects, and develop a Critical Eco-Literacy Framework. The GreenHUB platform will engage 1,000+ users, supporting cross-border collaboration. 300+ teachers trained will integrate sustainability into education, with 90% reporting increased confidence. Policy recommendations will influence national curricula, ensuring long-term impact in sustainability education.
