Abstract: Greece is going through a transitional period. The severe socio-economic crisis has left its mark on the country while the pandemic crisis is undoubtedly going to delay the recovery. This conceptual paper aims to explore the 'school as a learning organisation' (SLO) in the Greek context, analyse challenges and opportunities for transforming Greek schools into SLOs and outline the roadmap for such a crucial transformation. Specifically, it includes a theoretical discussion on the applicability of the SLO concept in the Greek context, combining an in-depth analysis of the extant literature and four key aspects that should be considered for developing SLOs in Greece. Developing SLOs can lead to school effectiveness and improve Greece's well-being. Integrating the learning philosophy into their daily practice, schools in Greece will enhance teachers' professional development, work effectiveness and well-being, as well as students' well-being and academic performance. However, specific steps need to be taken, in both school and system level, to support this development.
