The General Assembly has included representatives from the demonstration sites (schools and universities from Spain, Portugal, Finland, and Romania, acting as associated partners of the ECF4CLIM project) and the members of the Advisory Board.
The meeting in Umbralejo, an abandoned town in Spain, two hours away from Madrid, has created a very inspiring atmosphere stimulating the reflection on education , sustainability, and climate actions. In Umbralejo a very successful sustainability educational program is being carried out: the Program for the Recovery and Educational Use of Abandoned Towns (PRUEPA).
The analysis of the activities performed in the first eight months of the project shows a set of valuable outcomes were obtained and the real progress of the work in line with the initial planning. The coordination for the next actions was agreed introducing appropriate measures and deadlines.
The meeting included a group session with teachers and staff from the demonstration sites, as well as other education professionals creating an open space for reflection and sharing knowledge, opinions and practices. The group activity was also devoted to reflect on the linking of teachers’ and schools’ activity with ECF4CLIM and how the project can help their school/university to become a reference in sustainability education.
