On 17 and 18 June 2026, we had the opportunity to present our Green Cool Schools GROW Europe project at the Erasmus+ TCA ‘Strengthening Cross-Border Cooperations through Inclusive Education’ in Neusiedl am See, Burgenland.
The TCA (Training and Cooperation Activity) brings together teachers, school leaders and educational staff from various European countries to strengthen professional exchange, establish new cross-border partnerships and develop concrete Erasmus+ project ideas. The event was organised by the OeAD, the national agency for Erasmus+, and was aimed at participants from Germany, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
As part of the TCA, Agnes Renkin and Jelena Gaspar led two workshops on the topic ‘Green Cool Schools GROW Europe – Inclusive Learning through Action’. Together with the participants, they explored how greening projects can be implemented in schools and how all pupils can be actively involved in the process.
The ‘Building Instructions’ developed as part of the project served as a practical guide. They provide a step-by-step guide to planning and implementing greening initiatives in schools. At the same time, the participants gathered initial ideas and inspiration for their own projects at their schools. The high level of interest demonstrated that many schools wish to implement specific greening measures and are looking for practical approaches.
The high level of interest demonstrated that many schools wish to implement specific greening measures and are looking for practical approaches.
The in-depth discussions also led to new contacts for potential future collaborations. It will be particularly exciting to see whether these encounters can lead to a follow-up project that focuses even more strongly on the practical implementation of greening projects in schools across Europe.
We are delighted by the high level of interest in our workshops and hope that the participants were able to take away plenty of ideas, practical inspiration and motivation for their own school greening projects.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the OeAD for the invitation and the opportunity to present Green Cool Schools GROW as part of this inspiring European event.
