Therefore the DESC project has such objectives: - to ensure the availability of high-quality opportunities providing tailored learning materials and using innovative userfriendly learning environments; - to provide a practical toolkit on Green LifeStyle, Cultural Heritage and Economy; - to empower adults to develop sustainable communities possessing the knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society.

Background

Erasmus+ project DESC promotes people’s RIGHT TO ACCESS SERVICES they need to re-engage in training thus preventing social exclusion. In this respect, the project makes a direct contribution to the 1st pillar of the “European Pillar of Social Rights in 20 principles”. The project is based on adult learners' needs analysis, accumulating international valuable experience of experts in the field and adult education, providing innovative learning approach and ensuring user-friendly digital learning tools. Climate change is now acknowledged by most international organisation and public bodies to be a priority for action. The project aims at connecting this climate priority with improving the availability of high-quality opportunities for adults. The project goes together with UN 2030 Global Goals for Sustainable Development, priority in EU Strategic Agenda 2019-2024: “building a climate-neutral, green, fair and social Europe". Climate change and cultural heritage are interconnected. However, sustainability is one of the five pillars of the Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, which highlights its potential to enhance social capital, boost economic growth and secure environmental sustainability.
