BioBeo Project Update September 2024

Since its start in November 2022, the BioBeo project partners have put their motivation and efforts into creating an innovative education programme that fosters awareness and engagement in the bioeconomy and circularity. Across European education systems, the project leverages five core themes—interconnectedness, outdoor learning, forestry, life below water, and the food loop.

We have highlighted institutional barriers and opportunities; structures and networks; engagement of youth and parents in policy making; and a framework for innovative governance relating to bioeconomy education. We have been part of more than 50 events, reaching across the EU and we share BioBeo learning materials through partner FEE’s online academy and Global Action Days. The great success of the BioBeo Bioeconomy Festival suggests potential for annual youth engagement. Overall, we are building a strong educational framework, widely integrating and spreading bioeconomy principles.
