About
the GATE project
GATE GreenComp Assessment for Transformative Education is a 3 year Erasmus+ Policy Experimentation project involving eight partners from six European countries.
Our mission
is to foster a whole-school approach to sustainability in secondary education by
Creating a self-evaluation framework for schools
Providing targeted training for teachers and decision-makers
Involving students as co-creators of greener school environments
Recognising sustainable schools through a new certification model
Developing policy recommendations based on field-tested solutions
GATE empowers the entire school ecosystem – students, educators, school leaders, and policy actors – to become agents of sustainable change.
The Project
is built around five key pillars
Self-Evaluation Framework
A practical tool that helps schools assess and improve their sustainability practices in teaching, leadership, operations and community engagement.
Capacity-Building Programme
Training resources and workshops that support teachers and policymakers in integrating sustainability into their work.
Pilot Activities
Real-world testing of the framework and training programme in schools across Europe, involving students and staff.
Sustainable School Certification
A model to formally recognise schools that demonstrate commitment to systemic sustainability.
Policy Forum & Recommendations
Events and materials that support educational authorities in adopting evidence-based, future-oriented sustainability policies.
