Representatives from Italy, Greece, Slovakia, Portugal and Romania reviewed the initial findings of the cross-country needs analysis and began shaping the project’s next milestones: an innovative teacher-training programme and creative educational materials for students that will use both physical and digital escape-room scenarios to stimulate climate-crisis learning.

The meeting also marked the engagement of two Italian pilot schools—Istituto Comprensivo Salvo D’Acquisto di Follo e Calice al Cornoviglio (SP) and Istituto Comprensivo A. Fogazzaro di Noventa Vicentina (VI). Four teachers from the Noventa Vicentina school worked side by side with the consortium, ensuring that classroom realities inform every stage of development. By uniting classroom practitioners with research and technology partners, EcoMystery is laying the groundwork for practical, scalable solutions that will empower the next generation to act for a more sustainable future.
