What is the resource about?

This page lists the trial schools participating in the GAIA Project, showing the network of European schools involved in piloting energy-awareness and sustainability activities using Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. It describes how 25 schools with sensors and metering tools (plus 2 without infrastructure) across Greece, Italy and Sweden monitor and engage students in energy consumption and environmental awareness tasks. The resource illustrates the scope of the pilot buildings — from primary schools to high schools and a university — and highlights the real-world settings where GAIA’s educational activities take place

Why is the resource useful for VET actors?

This resource is useful for VET actors because it shows how sustainability and energy awareness can be integrated in real educational environments across multiple countries, providing a practical example of cross-sectoral cooperation in schools. It highlights the use of IoT technologies, data-driven activities and gamified learning to engage students and staff in behaviour change — topics that are increasingly relevant for vocational training in digital skills, energy management and environmental sciences. Additionally, the GAIA trials demonstrate how school infrastructure, technology and curriculum can come together to support sustainable learning outcomes.
