About the HEATWAVES Project:
The HEATWAVES project, co-financed by the Erasmus Programme of the European Commission, is a collaborative endeavour among partners from Belgium, Greece, Italy, and Romania. The project aims to build a new climate education framework for online learning environments, create digital resources for students and teachers on heatwave awareness, develop immersive learning experiences through simulations and educational games, and disseminate key findings through scientific articles.
