The Call for Innovative Ecological Education Projects 2026 is now open
The Education for Climate Coalition, an initiative promoted by the European Commission to foster climate education and sustainability, has launched a new call for innovative actions to mark Climate Education Day 2026, which will be celebrated on October 22.
The call focuses on intergenerational equity and seeks to identify and recognize inspiring initiatives that strengthen the commitment of new generations to climate action and can serve as a benchmark for the European education community.
Three thematic areas
Submitted projects must fall into one of the following categories:
Youth leadership and intergenerational dialogue for climate action.
Citizenship education and institutional action for sustainability.
GreenComp: visualizing sustainable futures in teaching and learning.
Who can participate?
Projects initiated, underway, or completed within the last five years in any of the countries that are part of the European Education Area are eligible.
The call for proposals will select three winning projects in each of the thematic categories, recognizing those initiatives with the greatest potential to promote climate education and sustainability.
