In Arsakeio Lyceum of Patras, a school that is part of a wider educational organization, the most historic in Greece (The Society for Promoting Education and Learning) we are constantly trying to enrich the educational process with innovative teaching methods such as flipped classroom and digital platforms but also we try to carry out outdoor activities that bring students closer to the environment and also cultivate co-educational methods of learning. Thus our partnership with University of Patras and its departments provided us with environmental suggestions and gave us a motivation to create an open area sustainability park including three outdoor learning classes (Biology, Geology and Physics) and a small green house for Agriculture and more exhibits that we describe to the full paper. Moreover other institutes from our country help us establish in our school a meteorological station and a seismograph that now are been connected with the national meteorological network as well as with the national geodynamic institute of Greece. The basic aspect of that paper is to share with the delegates of the conference our experience of the impact of the new approach of learning “by doing” to our students and investigate ways of developing the sustainable park with new exhibits or activities that combine sports activities, science teaching and more.
