The Green Deal is a European Commission response to promote zero net emissions of&nbsp;greenhouse gases by 2050 in the European Union. Its multiple strategies, including circular economy and agriculture, should impact all citizens. To improve the literacy&nbsp;of primary school students in environmental and sustainability concepts, namely those&nbsp;included in the Green Deal strategies, the pilot project "Nutrients Boomerang" was&nbsp;implemented as part of the Environmental Education strategy of a Portuguese science centre, Fábrica Ciência Viva. The project included the implementation of an outdoor&nbsp;model area, focusing on composting and urban vegetable gardening, complemented&nbsp;with workshops on biodiversity, circular economy, and organic farming, targeting&nbsp;primary school students. This pilot project was implemented from January to September 2021 and in its final months was also organized in a way to include the&nbsp;students’ families, given their willingness to introduce parents and grandparents to the&nbsp;activities they had been doing. This pilot project showed its suitability to be replicated&nbsp;in primary school outdoor green areas and so promote hands on activities aiming to&nbsp;foster in young students a conscientious behaviour towards a more sustainable world.&nbsp;
