Pilot 2 - Italy
this pilot
This pilot, taking place in Italy, is part of the NEUROCLIMA project and aims to test how the NEUROCLIMA platform can support climate change education and behavior change across diverse educational settings. The pilot involves teachers and learners from multiple education levels and contributes to evaluating the usability, effectiveness, and impact of the platform.

The participants in this NEUROCLIMA pilot aren’t required to possess prior experience in climate science or in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and all participation in this pilot is voluntary.
The use of the NeuroClima Hub for educational activities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) supported climate knowledge tools
Digital, analog, and hybrid teaching and engaging formats
Climate change adaptation and behavior-change learning pathways
TRAINING PHASE
- Teachers will take part in two online training sessions on the NEUROCLIMA project and platform.
- Two online training sessions Duration: 2 hours each
- Led by POLIMI
DESIGN PHASE
- Teachers design lessons and activities using the NeuroClima Hub
- Materials are uploaded to the NeuroClima Learn platform
- Teachers can adapt the tools freely to their teaching context
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
- Activities take place between April and June 2026
- Duration and format are flexible and decided by each teacher
- Activities can be digital, analog, or hybrid
To evaluate the pilot, teachers (UC 1) and youthworkers (UC 2) will be asked to fill two anonymous online questionnaires to their students or citizens: one at the beginning and one at the end of the learning activities. The questionnaires are going to assess:
- Knowledge related to climate change topics
- Usability of the NEUROCLIMA system
- Willingness to adopt more sustainable behaviours
Questionnaires are anonymous
No sensitive personal data, including special categories of personal data under the GDPR, is collected
Teachers and youth workers will only share aggregated demographic data
The purpose is solely to evaluate the pilot’s impact and inclusivity
Each local partner is responsible for the collected data

Climate change education and awareness is increasingly essential, yet many educators feel they lack the tools or confidence to address it effectively. NEUROCLIMA supports teachers and youthworkers by providing accessible, reliable resources and by connecting individual efforts into a larger European learning community, where contributions are visible, shared, and valued.
Ongoing support from the NEUROCLIMA Working Group
Guidance during activity design
Space for peer exchange via the platform
Access to high quality, curated scientific information
