What the Project Is

Sustainability is serious business. Reconnect with us! This project believes in a better world—and for that, a reconnection is essential. Reconnecting is about creating and strengthening healthier and more harmonious relationships, both within communities and across organizations. It is a commitment to working on sustainability as a key value during the formation of people and organizational cultures. Rooted in the idea that there are no environmental problems, only environmental symptoms of human problems, this initiative sees education as its main solution. The project operates in the education sector with a remarkable BCorp score of 94 and focuses on the defining keyword: Education. It brings together a community that is both passionate and knowledgeable about climate and environmental challenges, offering educators, institutions, and companies the tools they need to encourage meaningful change. There is an energy—a spark—that fuels every conversation, workshop, and activity, making the project not only a call to action but also a vibrant example of sustainable transformation…

Main Benefit

Key figures and facts highlight the undeniable benefits of this initiative:

  • Largest community of schools committed to education and climate action
  • Bcorp score of 94, demonstrating high standards of social and environmental performance

Sustainable Pedagogical Approaches

At the heart of the initiative are pedagogical trails, which are carefully designed sequences of activities. These trails are intended to help transform school culture from the ground up. They provide a practical, hands-on approach to sustainability that fosters innovation and creativity among educators and students alike. The trails encourage active participation, stimulating thoughtful dialogue and collaboration in classrooms and communities. Through these activities, connections are made, ideas are exchanged, and sustainable practices are not only taught—they are experienced in real time. This approach makes the learning process both effective and engaging, while also building a foundation for lasting positive change.

Corporate Engagement Strategies

For companies seeking to integrate sustainability into their corporate DNA, the project offers dedicated corporate education initiatives. These include training sessions, lectures, workshops, and group facilitation sessions, all designed to educate teams on today’s most pressing issues. Furthermore, specialized consulting services are available to help organizations develop an enduring strategic culture that places sustainability at its core. This approach is about more than corporate responsibility—it’s about transforming the organizational mindset and cultivating socio-environmental programs that yield both positive impact and significant return over time. The initiatives empower companies to become vital contributors to societal change while enhancing their internal culture. It’s a win-win approach that bridges the gap between economic success and environmental responsibility.

Education and Climate Action

The spirit of reconnection inherent in this project goes far beyond traditional educational paradigms. It is about offering hope and a sense of community through transformative actions. By connecting people to important issues like climate change and sustainable living, the project emphasizes that environmental challenges are intricately linked to human issues. The belief that education stands as the main solution to these challenges is central to the philosophy here. Alongside a commitment to creating robust relationships and fostering collaborative problem solving, these actions nurture resilience and empowerment in both individuals and groups. The initiative takes a detailed look at how education can guide the way toward more sustainable practices while supporting the development of a more inclusive, fair, and healthy society. Casual conversations and serious discussions alike play a role in nurturing a culture of change, where every idea matters and every action counts…

Community and Institutional Synergy

Institutions and communities are encouraged to adopt an integrated approach toward sustainability. The project’s interdisciplinary methods bring together academic institutions and corporate sectors alike, creating a seamless synergy that enhances both educational outcomes and environmental stewardship. By bridging gaps and promoting inclusive dialogue, the project demonstrates that sustainability is not confined to environmental policy but rather is a holistic way of living. Its educational programs are designed to be accessible and impactful, ensuring that transformative thinking translates into lasting, real-world impact. As schools and organizations begin to see the benefits of such a collaborative approach, the result is an ever-growing network of committed changemakers ready to tackle the pressing challenges of our time.
