For students from 3rd through 9th Grades
How can I print a photo with the help of the sun? Can I make art with nature and create my own message about climate change?
The children will take part in an art workshop, and they will create their own unique blueprint work.
Focusing on the theme of sustainability, we draw inspiration from works of contemporary forms of sustainable art or art that encourages discussion about sustainability, while through experiential visual actions we will discover the human-nature connection through the lens of art, passing our own message against climate change. crisis.
The goal of the program is to raise the awareness of students as members of our society about the real effects on the planet, proposing a green future.

What repercussions does contemporary life has on the environment? How can I change my daily life routines in order to make it more eco-friendly? How the SNFCC has implemented the most innovative and cutting-edge methods of design in order to be considered a model center of environmental sustainability? Students are invited to discover the answers to the above questions, in an entertaining way, through experiments and workshops. During the program, students enter a small recycling workshop and are challenged to recycle their own plastics transforming them into useful objects.

For high-school students
In view of the weather station of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), students explore the human influence on the climate both globally and locally, with experiments as their tool. Students also explore how the use of renewable energy sources has been evolved. This educational program aims to teach students the principles of bioclimatic design and how they find application both in the design and in the day-to-day operation of the SNFCC.

For kindergarten, first-grade to third-grade students
This school year, children will bring the plants of the Stavros Niarchos Park to their own neighbourhoods! Through multisensory games, observation and research, children are introduced to the colours, aromas and textures of the Park and familiarize themselves with different kinds of plants, understanding the process of planting of an urban park, focusing on Mediterranean aromatic plants and getting to know their characteristics! In the end, children choose their favorite fragrant plant from the Park and plant its seeds in origami flowerpots from recycled paper in order to take it back with them to their own neighbourhoods!

Mondays and Wednesdays (during the first 3 weeks of the month), at 09.00 and 11.00, 90’
For Middle & Highschool Students
In nature's ecosystems, a balance is maintained between the organisms that make them up and the energy used. What would the future Athens look like if we saw it as an urban ecosystem? Could it be fueled by the energy of its population? What if waste could be a new raw material? The students, through a fast-paced design workshop, learn about the sustainable ecosystem of the SNFCC, about the sustainability practices followed worldwide and are invited to envision, design and build the model of the Athens ecosystem of the future.
