Eco360 is a European initiative that reimagines how we teach and learn about sustainability. By blending 360-degree immersive experiences with creative lesson plans and digital tools, we help teachers and students connect with environmental topics in engaging, hands-on ways.
Our project is co-funded by Erasmus+ and unites schools and educational organizations from across Europe. Together, we aim to:
Spark curiosity
about the environment through immersive exploration.
Boost digital skills
for educators, ensuring confident use of new technologies in the classroom.
Strengthen sustainability education
and promote active, solution-focused learning.
Our Approach
Eco360 sets itself apart with an innovative, yet easy-to-adopt method:
Interactive 360° Explorations
Students can virtually visit key natural habitats, explore environmental issues, and brainstorm solutions—without ever leaving the classroom.
Hands-On Projects
Together with their teachers, students tackle local sustainability challenges, design solutions, and share best practices with peers across Europe.
Teacher Support & Training
We provide a friendly online training course that guides educators step-by-step through creating and implementing 360° lessons and sustainability-themed activities.
By combining digital transformation with environmental stewardship, Eco360 helps both teachers and students discover just how fun and rewarding sustainability education can be.
