Educational programs focused on environmental awareness and conservation have been implemented for primary school students across different Greek regions.

In Zakynthos, initiatives include sessions on biodiversity and the protection of migratory birds conducted in collaboration with the Hellenic Ornithological Society. This program includes the use of educational games to teach children about threats to birds, such as habitat degradation and illegal hunting. Additionally, nutritional programs in the region promote healthy eating through local products.

In Lesvos, students participated in birdwatching and wetland conservation activities at the Kalloni Gulf. These efforts, part of a municipal festival, involved identifying various bird species. Other local programs in Lykovrysi–Pefki focused on recycling and waste management through workshops designed to teach children about environmental protection and sustainable habits.
