They will have a chance to continue using the Green Club platform in their education context after the workshop. There will also be an opportunity to sign up their school for an air quality internet-connected sensor and become part of the environmental data map, contributing to citizen science.

As part of their S+T+ARTS residency hosted by Onassis Stegi, Unit Lab is exploring how circular economy can be introduced in the Greek school curriculum. During a pilot after-school Green Club in May, designers and experts ran 6 different workshops spanning multiple sustainability subjects. Through hands-on practical workshops, students explored circular futures in their own context making wind turbines, environmental data sensors, upcycled objects, and shelters for animals. In this workshop Unit Lab will introduce its new website, Green Club; a platform for educators and students with workshops and learning resources related to circular economy.
