Global network of community and education centers
Visit of President Petr Pavel
Our Vision
We believe in the power of education and the unique potential of every child on the planet.
Our vision is to build an ecosystem of interconnected, inspiring places for education, strengthening the relationship with nature, new discoveries, collaboration, and friendship.
We are convinced that sharing the experiences of experts and motivating personalities develops children's imagination and courage to explore.
Investing in children's education is an investment in the future.
Educated children with open minds and critical thinking skills can better face global challenges and ensure a sustainable future for all of us.
What We Do
We are building a global network of outdoor classrooms connected by a web platform. These year-round usable classrooms, made from sustainable and natural materials, serve for experiential learning of all subjects, primarily to strengthen children's relationship with nature, understand the need for sustainability, and comprehend the principles of nature. Identical classrooms with the same equipment ensure equal education for children in both developed and developing countries. Their interactive collaboration with online inputs from experts on the discussed topics allows for close understanding of different cultures and needs. Educated children are the goal.

Construction of Outdoor Classrooms from Sustainable Materials
We use wood, straw, and other natural materials for the construction of classrooms. The classrooms are equipped with a green wall, vermicomposters, and a rainwater harvesting system.
Strengthening the Relationship with Nature
Using the latest technologies, children get to know nature in detail not only in their own country but also learn about the surroundings, nature, and culture in other countries through online communication and project collaboration.
Connecting Classrooms via the Web Platform
The web platform ARCHIMEDES-UNI.COM ensures online connectivity for all classrooms. Using AI, it offers modern methodological materials, a database of schools, advertisements, and a social network. The main focus is on online collaboration among students and interactive video inputs from experts in various fields.
Possibility of Using Classrooms for Various Educational Activities and Workshops
The classrooms are ideal spaces for organizing various educational seminars, summer camps, adult education, and can also be used as summer cinemas, spaces for kindergartens, and extracurricular activities.
Year-Round Use of Classrooms for Experiential Learning
The classrooms are Year-Round Use of Classrooms for Experiential Learning year-round for teaching all subjects. The main focus is on the environment and sustainability. Thanks to online inputs from experts worldwide and various specialized topics, children learn through experiential methods.
Space Variability
Thanks to the unique solution of a pull-out step and folding benches, it is quick and easy to create a classroom for 36 students or a large space for physical activities, group work, or a day camp.
SDGs
The ARCHIMEDES network of outdoor classrooms and schools actively supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
1. No Poverty
4. Quality Education
10. Reduced Inequalities
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities
12. Climate Action
Regular online seminars and meetings with experts and prominent personalities on sustainability topics are held throughout the network.
