Experiential Educational Laboratory
Ecology, Architecture & Natural Building
For Children of all Ages
🌟 Welcome to GLIPTOPIA 🌟
𓆸 An educational world, where we design & reshape the future of our planet ༄
We play with Architecture and Soil with ingenuity and collaboration!
☀️ Where does clay come from? A natural material with multiple uses!
We learn how to isolate clay from the soil and how to make solid and safe building material from it.
☀️ How did our ancient ancestors measure space and why?
We design, in two dimensions, referencing the human body & the golden ratio focusing on understanding design before construction.
☀️ What is microclimate, what do we know about our own place?
We make diagrammatic maps according to the orientation of the sun, the water cycle and the food our soil gives us, we learn to draw what we experience!
☀️ How is concrete produced and what is natural building?
We make structures with biodegradable and durable techniques (Cob, Straw Clay, Adobe +).
☀️ What’s going on in your inner world? Say it with your hands!
We use the timeless language of Arts and Pottery to ‘talk’ about ourselves, our needs, our fears and our dreams.
☀️ Let’s play an unforgettable card game!
As official Climate Fresk coordinators, we teach the impacts of human activities on animals, plants and the sustainability of our planet.
☀️ How about making a school vegetable garden? Let’s plant together!
We plant together, create small vegetable gardens and learn about the value of growing.
☀️ We get to know nature through our food! Let’s cook together!
We become food scientists and explore all the reasons we love natural fruit juices, plant-based treats and gluten-free foods!
☀️ Theatre and Sustainable Development; Exactly!
Through collective theatre games we learn what are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that many countries in the world have agreed to achieve, we play and get to know the environment and nature better!
Between 2020-2024, Gliptopia visited over 10 educational projects, public or private schools and engaged 500+ students on the concepts of circular economy, self-sufficiency, recycling, reuse and biodiversity protection. In 2025 it has already provided services to public primary schools in Greece with over 700 students around outdoor education.
Educational institutions wishing to delve into construction with 100% natural and organic materials are given the option of 3D modeling of houses that children take home or with permanent infrastructure installed on their premises.

‘Playfulness, collaboration and hands-on creations are the foundations of experiential education, while outdoor teaching redefines the learning experience. The goal is not simply to practice skills, but to restore the interconnectedness of all arts and sciences to children, in order for them to become active and critically thinking citizens.’
