Inside out Nature
The Danish educational organisation promotes the Forest School pedagogical approach
around the world through workshops, lectures, collaborations with universities, school
consultancy, and educational study trips for educators.
Since 2015, we have been working with Inside Out Nature—initially to shape our own nature-based programme, and since 2017 we have been the organisation’s training
provider in Greece.
Planet Agents
Planet Agents is a non-profit organisation that aims to build a sustainable future by
educating and activating children. Through educational programmes and materials,
students are invited to become Planet Agents and take action to protect the planet.
Paixnidagogeio collaborates with Planet Agents on the design of educational
programmes and the training of facilitators, while also using the organisation’s
educational material within the school.
Little Spoons
Little Spoons is grounded in international scientific knowledge and extensive national
experience, and has created a range of modern nutrition-education tools designed to
empower adults, children, and professionals in a practical and realistic way. Within this
framework, the organisation has developed three main programmes and a series of
initiatives aimed at restoring balanced eating habits and protecting our health.
Because balanced, healthy eating habits are formed in childhood, we collaborate with
the organization to shape our morning snack weekly menu for our Early Childhood
Centre and Kindergarten, to shape the Dadstronomy menu, to provide guidance on
treats and snacks, to choose recipes for our cooking activities, and to organise
workshops for parents and children.
SUBU
SUBU is a multifaceted architecture office and an environmentally conscious project, led
by architect and sustainable building engineer Spyros Karagiannis. Providing
architectural and consulting services at every stage, from inception to completion,
SUBU is focusing on the design of Passive House and nearly zero-energy buildings
(nZEB). Since 2018, SUBU is consistently pursuing the design and construction of
rammed earth structures. REW, completed in 2019, is the first built example in Greece,
to be constructed according to international standards, using pneumatic
tools. Combining its scientific background, love for natural materials and a hands-on
approach with versatility and an eye for detail, SUBU aims to deliver outstanding work
and play a leading role in the adoption of sustainable architecture practices in Greece.
HFM
The Human Flourishing Movement (HFM) is the official Innovation Hub of the International Positive Education Network (IPEN) in Southern Europe, an organization dedicated to bringing Positive Education to life and into everyday practice through micro-practices, art, play, nature, technology, philosophy, and human-centered design. Its work is grounded in the science of applied positive psychology and inspired by the deeply rooted Greek tradition of eudaimonia.
Paixnidagogeio is HFM’s first Living Lab, a space where research becomes practice. Together, we design, test, and evolve experiential Positive Education programs, with the active involvement of our children, educators, and parents. We are a living laboratory of learning and innovation—a place that doesn’t simply implement programs, but co-creates them daily, ensuring every child learns how to flourish.

Wellbeing at Kinder
This project is an Erasmus+ initiative focused on promoting the implementation of the
EU Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care. Its aim is to address
the mental well-being of educators in preschools and early childhood settings—so they
can do their work more effectively, with greater motivation, and without reaching
burnout. Highly skilled, resilient, and motivated educators are essential for high-quality
early childhood education, and their mental well-being directly affects their creativity,
their ability to care, and the quality of their pedagogical work with children.

Exploring the curriculum through Nature Programs
During this program we collaborated with seven schools in Europe in order to create a
guide for parents and educators that promotes learning and play outside the classroom.
You can find the materials produced through this project here:
- Guide for Parents
- Guide for Educators
- Activity Cards
