Algae4Schools Open Call Co-Creation Programme

The EU4Algae Co-Creation Programme invites schools to help design and test an innovative Schools Toolkit, introducing children aged 3–15 to algae through science, environmental education, art and food-related activities.

EU4Algae invites schools from EU Member States to participate in a co-creation programme aimed at developing and testing the EU4Algae Schools Toolkit, to be deployed across Europe in 2026.

Selected schools will work with the EU4Algae team to co-design, test and validate educational materials that introduce children aged 3 to 15 to algae through science, environmental education, art and food-related activities.

Participating schools will have access to: 

• A teachers’ handbook (scientific content, algae-based recipes, artistic activities, algae paint/ink instructions, online resources)
• Printable materials
• Online educational resources

Schools participating in the Awareness Raising Days pilots will also receive algae products, materials and tools to support their activities.

Applications close on 9 March.
