Dear friends and colleagues across Europe

This special gathering brings together our European partner schools to explore sustainability and the green transition through three central themes:

  • What We Live In – From straw to structure (sustainable buildings)
  • What We Live On – From harvest to habit (sustainable food, natural resources)
  • What We Live With – From code to care (technology, mental well-being, and social responsibility)

The programme will feature keynote speakers, innovation workshops, student-led projects, cultural experiences, and opportunities for international networking and the sharing of best practices.

We hope this event will strengthen our collaboration and spark new ideas for building a more sustainable future together.
