Pilot 2 - Greece
youth workers, citizens
this pilot
This pilot, implemented in Greece by IASIS, brings together educators, students, youth workers, and citizens to explore how climate knowledge, emotional engagement, and behaviour change can be fostered through the NeuroClima Hub. Working across both formal education and community settings, the pilot examines how digital tools, creative methodologies, and structured learning pathways can support climate awareness, meaningful engagement, and sustainable action in everyday life.
The pilot engages two key groups:
Educators from formal and non-formal education settings
Students and learners (aged approximately 15+), including upper secondary, vocational, university, and adult learners
Youth workers and community facilitators supporting non-formal learning
Adult citizens from local communities
Participants come from varied educational and socio-economic backgrounds, primarily in urban and semiurban areas in Greece. No prior expertise in climate science, artificial intelligence, or digital platforms is required. Participation is voluntary.

This pilot addresses key gaps in both education and community engagement, including:
The need for accessible and adaptable climate education tools
The challenge of connecting climate knowledge to everyday decisions and behaviours
Integrating behavioural and social dimensions into communication and decision-making
The importance of addressing climate emotions such as anxiety, uncertainty, or disengagement
The role of educators and community facilitators in supporting meaningful climate dialogue
Through participation, the pilot aims to:
Increase climate awareness and literacy
Build confidence in discussing and teaching climate issues
Encourage sustainable behaviours at individual and community levels
Foster emotional engagement and a sense of collective responsibility
LEARNING ACTIVITIES WITH STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS
COMMUNITY BASED ACTIVITIES LED BY FACILITATORS
Between April and June 2026, educators, youth workers and facilitators will implement a variety of activities to engage students and citizens with climate topics. Formats may include classroom sesions, workshops and group discussions, digital or hybrid learning experiences, and individual exploration.
Participant are expected to engage actively with the materials, take part in at least one learning or community activity and contribute to evaluation through questionnaires.
PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPLORE
- The NeuroClima Hub as a tool for educational and community based activities
- Climate knowledge linked to local, personal, and societal contexts
- Behaviour-change pathways and sustainability practices
- Digital, analog and hybrid learning and engagement formats
- AI-supported climate tools presented in accesible, non-technical ways
- The role of emotions, reflection, and meaningmaking in climate engagement
KEY QUESTIONS INCLUDE
- How relevant and usable is the Neuroclima Hub across educational and community settings?
- How do learners and citizens respond to combined scientific and emotional climate content?
- Can structured tools support long-term engagement and behaviour change?
- How can facilitators support meaningful dialogue and collective action?
Educators and youth workers participate in introductory online sessions covering:
- The NEUROCLIMA project
- The NEUROCLIMA HUB and its applications
Sessions are coordinated by IASIS with support from the NEUROCLIMA Working Group.
Educators and facilitators:
- Design and adapt learning and engagement activities using the NEUROCLIMA HUB
- Tailor materials to their specific educational or community contexts
- Share materials through the NEUROCLIMA LEARN platform where relevant
To assess the pilot, two anonymous online questionnaires will be conducted:
- One before participation
- One after completion
These will capture:
- Climate related knowledge and awareness
- User experience and usability of the NEUROCLIMA HUB
- Attitudes toward sustainable behaviours
