PDETh is the regional public authority overseeing primary and secondary education across Thessaly, in central Greece. It manages 1,129 schools, 96,300 students and 12,000 teachers spread across four prefectures. The region was hit hard by the catastrophic 2023 floods, which damaged more than 110 schools — first-hand experience that drives PDETh's commitment to disaster education. As ALKI's coordinator, PDETh leads project management (WP1) and co-leads impact and dissemination (WP5), ensuring strategic alignment, financial oversight and quality assurance across the consortium. With extensive Erasmus+ experience and direct access to a vast school network, PDETh also hosts two associated schools where ALKI workshops and surveys are piloted.
