Ecosystem Europe Association (EEA) was born in late 2013 because of a growing need to get young people to think about their future and prepare them to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The organisation’s team brings much experience in various projects and initiatives, with a track record in developing and adapting various educational programmes targeted at schools, educators and students, being at the forefront of educational innovation in Bulgaria regarding the intersection of education and sustainability, and NBS in particular. Ecosystem Europe members act in a dynamic environment in collaboration with local and international partners as well as with business and academia. This gives Ecosystem Europe the opportunity to actively motivate a change in traditional educational paradigms and understanding of sustainable development. The association has participated in Lessons from Nature, a project that for the first time presented principles of how nature works and inspired young learners to translate them into design solutions for human created models and system. Also, it has developed the first ever, specially designed for schools, carbon footprint calculator for Bulgaria ( https://www.bre.co.uk), which has been adopted by over 40 schools.
