The development of a simple, low-cost methodology for obtaining substrate sandbanks parameters.
This methodology, proposed in cooperation with stakeholders, will allow...
A climate education module co-developed with a research institute(Demokritos), empowering 13–15-year-old students to understand climate challenges, co-design adaptation solutions, and build civic capacity.
Youth in urban areas like Egaleo face climate impacts but lack scientific understanding and civic tools to respond. AWAR addresses this by integrating hands-on climate learning into schools and building community-wide participation through Living Lab workshops.

AWAR is an awareness-raising curriculum targeting students aged 13–15. Developed by Demokritos and piloted in Egaleo schools, it builds scientific understanding, encourages local action, and empowers youth to take part in climate adaptation planning. Around 300 students have participated so far.
The Awareness-raising Modules (AWAR) are 45-minute educational sessions integrated into school curricula for students aged 13–15. Developed by the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in cooperation with local teachers, the modules explain climate change, its local impacts, and adaptation strategies. The modules combine classroom teaching with active participation in Living Lab workshops, where students, parents, teachers, and municipal stakeholders co-develop real adaptation solutions.
Hands-on learning is reinforced through:
•Real data analysis from Egaleo’s Smart Climate Stations
•Group projects on local resilience
•Participation in events like Open Green Day and the Climate Hackathon, where students present their adaptation ideas using scientific reasoning
This approach strengthens environmental awareness and prepares the next generation of civic leaders.

The program’s long-term success depends on curriculum integration, teacher training, and institutional commitment to climate literacy.
