Project summary

The potential of protected areas in the EU as a measure of increasing key competencies of adults has not been sufficiently exploited. Organizations that educate adults in this field have not yet had a chance to exchange best practice examples and methods of education suitable for adult learners. The aim of this project is to: 1/ increase know-how sharing between partners and spread innovative best practice examples 2/ increase key competencies (complex problem solving, understanding science, communication, public presentation skills and more) using nature protection as vehicle. The project will positively impact hundreds of adult learners that are annually educated by partners and over 70 other organizations that network with partners. The set of intellectual outputs will reach over 15 000 people including adult learners and stakeholders. These multilingual products include Guide of Best Practice, Education material for adults – Catalogue of education opportunities, education brochures and four Curricula of education programs. Media outputs will reach over 400 000 people, raising their awareness. Results of this project will fill the gap that has existed for several years.
