Organization Earth is an award-winning Greek NGO founded in 2010, operating the “Center of the Earth”, an urban Living Lab and environmental education hub in Athens. We bridge civil society, local governance, and grassroots communities to foster urban resilience, green education, and social inclusion, having reached over 120,000 beneficiaries to date (70,000+ children, 50,000+ adults).
Our activities integrate hands-on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), “learning-by-doing” capacity building, multi-actor alliances, public engagement and Mediterranean outreach. We develop inclusive green education frameworks, design and manage community-led urban interventions and facilitate participatory processes that empower citizens as agents of change.
Building on significant experience in EU-funded project management, Organization Earth supports “Green living areas” consortia by:
• leading and supporting Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) pilots (pocket parks, urban forests, community gardens, green roofs) in dense urban areas
• designing and facilitating multi-actor engagement and co-creation processes connecting municipalities, academia, schools and local communities
• driving inclusive capacity building and green skill-building for vulnerable groups (refugees, elderly, long-term unemployed, people with disabilities)
• delivering awareness campaigns and educational programs on agri-food systems, composting and circular economy,
• scaling and transferring NBS methodologies across the Mediterranean region through our network lead role via IFOAM Agribiomediterraneum (ABM)
