Italian Ambassador Ombretta Bucci transformed her primary school’s biodiversity art project into a published book chapter. This success story shows how creativity and environmental education can merge — turning students’ eco-art into a national educational reference.
Title: “A Green Deal for a Better World” – Discovering Biodiversity through Art
Summary: Italian teacher Ombretta Bucci led a creative National Hub activity titled ‘A Green Deal for a Better World,’ where primary pupils explored biodiversity through artworks made from natural materials. The initiative integrated environmental awareness and artistic expression, turning classroom learning into a celebration of the Earth’s richness.
Key Development: Following the Hub’s publication, Professor Roberto Russo, founder of the platform Teachfizz, invited Bucci to contribute to the book ‘L’Arte di Insegnare l’Arte’. Two of her EU‑GreW‑inspired activities became part of this publication, now available online and in print, expanding the reach of the project’s educational approach.
Impact: This collaboration demonstrates how EU‑GreW activities can generate cross‑sectoral outcomes, bridging education, art, and publishing. A classroom initiative evolved into a national reference for art educators, amplifying EU‑GreW’s influence on creative teaching and sustainable education.
