Current EU Projects
DIDACTIC BRICKS
Didactic Bricks is a flexible, creative, action-oriented tool to create learning activities. It is designed for teachers who want to implement Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in their classrooms.
This ERASMUS+ project empowers educators to easily design and deliver lessons - or even whole interdisciplinary projects - that engage students (ages 10–15) in solving real-world sustainability challenges.
ALT-PROACT
ALT-PROACT is a three-year Horizon Europe project started in September 2026 with six partners from six countries. The project aims to foster a socially inclusive, science-based and culturally contextualised introduction of biotech-based alternative proteins, supporting sustainable dietary shifts for citizens and society as a whole.
The project will contribute to:
Raise citizen awareness of alternative proteins, their sustainability implications, and misinformation through accessible education.
Create a collaborative, multilingual information programme providing clear, evidence-based and culturally adapted communication.
Build trust and dialogue between citizens, scientists, policymakers, civil society and communicators through participatory activities.
Develop education materials and resources, including curricula, educator toolkits and pilot activities in several countries, aligned with GreenComp and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
FEE’s role is to contribute to advancing educational innovation on biotechnological alternative proteins through STEM education, aligned with EU GreenComp and ESD guidelines. FEE will develop curricula framework, educator toolkits and an online course, co-design modules on sustainability, ethics and innovation, co-pilot educational interventions and contribute to education policy guidance.
Past EU Projects
PLAN’EAT
PLAN’EAT is a four-year project started in September 2022, with 24 partners from 11 EU countries, which aims to transform food systems and food environments towards healthy and sustainable dietary behaviour.
PLAN’EAT objectives were to:
Better understand the underlying factors and drivers influencing dietary behaviour,
Measure, compare and ‘monetise’ the environmental, social and health impacts of 3 dominant European dietary patterns through True Cost Accounting (TCA),
Co-design effective recommendations, tools and interventions to effectively reverse trends in dietary behaviour.
The project applied a systemic, co-creation approach across macro (food system), meso (food environment) and micro (individual) levels, considering diverse socio-cultural and geographic contexts through 9 Living Labs, 5 pan-European Consultation and Working Groups, and 1 Policy Lab in Brussels.
FEE’s main responsibility was to develop an open-source educational toolbox with ready-to-use resources for teachers and educators to engage students in making informed, healthy and sustainable dietary choices, ultimately promoting more sustainable dietary behaviours.
As leader of the Restaurants Consultation Working Group (CWG), the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) engaged restaurants through its Green Key sites to identify existing initiatives, assess barriers and enablers to healthier and more sustainable food environments, and co-develop potential solutions.
BioBEo
BioBeo is a 2-year project with 15 partners with the aim to develop and deploy an education programme to enhance engagement across society regarding lifestyle, circularity and bioeconomy, using five bioeconomy themes: Outdoor Learning, Forestry, Life Below Water, The Food Loop, and Interconnectedness.
BioBeo aims to introduce new thinking and approaches to circular economy education across Europe. While strategically overcoming the institutional and cultural barriers to implement relevant circular bioeconomy education programs in preschool, primary, and secondary schools, BioBeo aims to define and deliver novel curricula to enhance young people’s and citizens‘ involvement in policy-making for bioeconomy.
FEE will be contributing to the co-creation of bioeconomy educational materials and assist with the dissemination of the project outcomes and resources across our global network of educators and practitioners. Two of FEE’s member organisations, An Taisce – The National Trust of Ireland (Ireland) and BOS+ Vlaanderen (Belgium), are also part of the project’s consortium of partners.
