Environmental Education Center of Ithaca

For decades, Greece’s Environmental Education Centers (KPE) have played a vital role in tackling environmental challenges. With a human-centered approach, they empower individuals to understand and address ecological issues.

These centers go beyond traditional education. They foster active participation through discussions, research, and hands-on activities. This fosters critical thinking and inspires action towards a sustainable future.

KPE operate under core principles:

• Interdisciplinary learning: Connecting environmental issues to various subjects.
• Active participation: Encouraging student engagement and problem-solving skills.
• Focus on solutions: Guiding students to prevent or solve environmental problems.
• Sustainable practices: Promoting responsible management of natural resources.
• Local action, global impact: Encouraging community involvement for long-term benefits.
• Equal opportunity learning: Providing all students with the knowledge and skills to protect the environment.
• Collaboration and values: Fostering cooperation for a more sustainable future.

By fostering environmental awareness and action, KPE equip students to become responsible stewards of our planet.
