CircleCoLabs is an Erasmus+ project that supports educators in designing learning experiences where students work hands-on with materials, technologies, and ideas while addressing real-world challenges related to sustainability, resource use, and community needs. Circular economy principles—such as reuse, repair, redesign, and responsible production—form a central reference point for many of the learning scenarios developed within the project.

CircleCoLabs provides teaching materials, practical toolkits, and classroom-tested good practices that help integrate making, civic engagement, and circular economy topics into everyday teaching practice. All resources are adaptable to different school subjects, age groups, and school contexts.

In addition, the project offers targeted training formats for teachers and educators. These trainings focus on concrete classroom implementation and support participants in:

• Designing learning settings that combine making, reflection, and civic engagement.
• Working with external partners around sustainability and circular economy topics.
• Embedding Maker Education and Service-Learning into existing curricula and school frameworks.

By combining materials, training, and dissemination, CircleCoLabs supports the long-term integration of Maker Education, Service-Learning, and Circular Economy approaches in school practice and contributes to sustainable, transferable teaching models across Europe.
