Abstract: The paper presents an educational program of the Environmental Education Center (E.E.C.) of Kissavos-Elassona about water energy, watermills and lake ecosystems in Greece. It also analyzes the stages of the program and the worksheets that students complete in the field study and then investigates the course of the program in depth of the decade that is being implemented (2009–2019). The project method was used for the design and implementation of the program, along with several pedagogical teaching methodologies and modern technical infrastructure. The objective of this work is the study and analysis of the overall structure of this educational program of the E.E.C., along with its contribution in the aid of knowledge of students and teachers with regard to ecological and environmental issues. The educational effort, in the long run, aims to form personalities of citizens who are active, responsible and sensitive to issues of pre-industrial heritage.
