On 5 September 2026, Novatex Solutions Ltd participated in an educational STEAM event at the Cyprus Planetarium within the framework of the Erasmus+ project EcoSchools: Empowering Teachers and Students to Foster Sustainability through Education.

The activity focused mainly on biodiversity, pollution and environmental protection, introducing participants to key environmental concepts through discussion, observation and practical activities.

A central part of the workshop explored the meaning and importance of biodiversity. Participants discussed the variety of living organisms found in different ecosystems and why maintaining biodiversity is essential for healthy and resilient environments. The session also encouraged participants to think about the ways human activities can disturb ecosystems and contribute to biodiversity loss.

The workshop also addressed pollution and its impact on the environment. Participants explored how different forms of pollution can affect natural habitats, soil, water, wildlife and human well-being. Particular attention was given to the connection between everyday human activities and environmental pressures, helping participants understand how individual and collective choices can either increase or reduce pollution.

Practical activities were used to make these concepts easier to understand. Participants examined the natural environment, discussed what can be found beneath the ground, observed how erosion can affect the landscape, and experimented with simple environmental monitoring tools.

By combining biodiversity, pollution, sustainability and technology, the activity aimed to show that environmental protection is closely linked to the way people interact with ecosystems and use natural resources.

The project’s educational materials are organised around five main themes:

• Climate Change
• Pollution
• Biodiversity & Ecosystems
• Sustainable Lifestyles & Consumption
• Shared Responsibility & Action

Free educational materials, lesson plans, quizzes and activities are available through the EcoSchools learning platform for teachers, schools and other educators interested in integrating sustainability into classroom learning.
