Τhis paper aims to explore the possibilities of creating a digital educational game on the theme of contemporary street art in Athens, in which the goal is the effort for more sustainable cities. The following chapters discuss the connection that can exist between street art and gaming and how these two fields can coexist in the field of education. Starting from the very beginning of street art we are going to review the movement’s progress until it reached its current form and becoming an important history element of the streets in the modern urban landscape (and mainly of Athens) and at the same time to compare it with the philosophy of gaming. Can those two different fields, yet both attractive to young people collaborate for education, and specifically for environmental education?
