From Greening Schoolyards to Urban Biodiversity: Theories and Case Studies (COOLSCHOOLS European Project Conference)

The CNRS (UMR LADYSS, LIED), Université Paris Cité and the City of Paris are involved in the European research project CoolSchools (2022-2025) on green schoolyards. Based on schoolyard
transformation pilot projects in Barcelona, Brussels, Paris and Rotterdam, the project seeks to assess how schoolyard greening practices can lead to socio-ecological transformations in favor of urban
sustainability, climate resilience, social justice and quality education. The symposium brings together various French and foreign speakers to discuss more specifically the place of biodiversity in
schoolyards' transformations.
