The main objective of this project was to empower adults and seniors from local communities of the partners’ organizations to make a positive impact, to make a positive change in making a better future for the planet and people, by exploration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and manifesting them in real life. The aim of this project was to raise awareness of sustainability choices and contribute to the achievement of the 17SDGs by a variety of workshops involving target groups. The project goal was to provide adult and senior educators with tools to design and facilitate digital and distance learning, to adapt digital competences and build capacity of adult educators to implement online teaching and learning by using special methodology, creative techniques, inclusive learning, eLearning. The project was also a need for participating organizations as it brought long lasting effects by enabling participating organizations to gain experience in international cooperation and strengthening partners' capacities in building readiness and managing them towards digital education in a creative and inclusive manner.
Our research indicated that there was a strong need among people to contribute to the sustainable development and make an impact but they suffered from a lack of concrete knowledge of environmental changes, footprint and its meaning, and weren’t aware of the steps they should take to be more green and engaged in SDGs. People were unable to recognize their role in the transition to sustainable development to create a bright future for everybody and they were in need of developing a positive, critical, aware and courageous attitude towards the SDGs. Additionally, they were reporting a lack of assistance in distance and digital learning. On the other hand, our research indicated a strong need among seniors to be active, feel needed and educated and at the same time, they reported that they were feeling excluded because of not having skills and competences necessary to participate and benefit from distance and digital learning opportunities which was particularly visible during the pandemics. Since our population is getting older each day, there was also a need to find an intergenerational bridge and common interest between different age groups to enhance integration and sense of belonging to a community.
