At a time when the protection of water resources and adaptation to climate change are at the forefront of public debate, EYDAP (Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company) is expanding its environmental education efforts. As part of its strategic partnership with the Goulandris Natural History Museum, EYDAP has announced a new online educational program titled “Climate Change and Water.” The initiative will reach 200 school classrooms free of charge across Boeotia, Euboea, and Phocis in the Central Greece region, continuing the company’s long-standing strategy of raising public awareness — particularly among younger generations — about the critical role of responsible water management in building climate resilience, protecting ecosystems, and supporting the country’s sustainable development.
For EYDAP — Attica’s primary water supply authority — environmental education is not an isolated initiative but a systematic investment rooted in the core of its mission: the sustainable and responsible management of water for the benefit of society and future generations. Through this new partnership, EYDAP aims to bring its expertise and experience in holistic water management directly into the school community, bridging scientific knowledge with the everyday reality of students.
The program leverages the digital environment of the Goulandris Museum’s “Climate Change and Us” exhibition, into which new educational content — designed with EYDAP’s contribution and focused on water recycling and sustainable water management — will be integrated. Through live online presentations, students from the 5th and 6th grades of primary school, as well as middle and high school students, will be able to take a virtual tour of the exhibition, engage with audiovisual material, and interact with museum educators through discussion and hands-on activities.
Free participation for schools is a deliberate choice by EYDAP, reflecting the company’s commitment to ensuring that access to knowledge about water and climate change is not limited by financial barriers — especially in regions outside the greater Athens basin. The selection of the three regional units — Boeotia, Euboea, and Phocis — reflects the company’s willingness to extend its educational footprint beyond its immediate area of responsibility, supporting a broader national effort for environmental education.
The program is scheduled to launch in late 2026, following the completion of the educational design phase and a pilot stage in which EYDAP will be actively involved to ensure the final content meets the company’s educational goals for responsible water resource management.
This new collaboration with the Goulandris Museum is part of a broader set of corporate responsibility initiatives that EYDAP has developed in recent years, through which the company seeks to function not only as a water and sewerage service provider, but also as an active contributor to building environmental awareness in Greek society. Through programs like this one, the company is making a systematic investment in shaping a new generation of citizens equipped with the knowledge and motivation to actively protect water — a resource that EYDAP manages daily and considers pivotal for the country’s future.
With the “Climate Change and Water” program, EYDAP reaffirms its practical commitment to environmental education, connecting its operational work in water resource management with a meaningful, long-term investment in educating and raising awareness among students — the very generation that will one day face the challenges of climate change head-on. Because shaping responsible citizens is the most enduring investment we can make in protecting our country’s water resources.
