-Better and more correctly informed and active European citizenship by raising awareness amongst non-expert adult audiences about European policies related to today's ecological challenges in the three partner countries and elsewhere in Europe; - Educate a non-expert adult public of operators of social networks (consortium, associations, forums, networks, platforms, etc.) of the partners; - Stimulate (empower) the approx. 800 social, educational, and outreach workers employed by the three partner entities, who operate daily in contact with the citizenry, to take on the role of "agents of resilient ecological transformation" and, cascading, hundreds more social workers from the partner networks and others reached online; - Contribute to widen the adult learning high-quality provision in climate change and related environmental and social inclusion topics tailored to be accessible for all adults, regardless of their cultural background.
The TRAnFORM.E.R. partnership decided to apply under this call in order to contribute to shape the “new European citizenship of the European Green Deal” in the actual critical, fundamental step of 2020-2030 decade to achieve the expected results of GHG emissions’ cut and the necessary greening of our economies and societies without leaving nobody behind. As the President of the European Commission, Ursula von den Leyen, said: “Regions, local communities, civil society, industry and schools. Together they will design and commit to a set of pledges to bring about a change in behaviour, from the individual to the largest multinational”. The strict timing obliges us to design focussed learning activities on climate changes addressed to tailor the informational, knowledge and competences gaps of the European adults, as they are the decision-makers. As the European Agenda for Adult Learning and other studies by the European Commission reveal (cfr. Education and Training 2020. Improving Policy and Provision for Adult Learning in Europe) it is key to increase adult learning provision involving more social partners and civil society in the making of it, as well as it is crucial to improve adult learning on the workplace.
