The Green Enough Project successfully enhanced the ecological awareness and behaviours of beneficiaries with D.D./I.D, as the main priority was the fight against climate change. It achieved this by developing a detailed educational program for professionals working closely with these individuals and empowering them in more effective and tailored teaching methods, which aligns with the priotity of improving the competences of adult education staff. The program included a curriculum, clear learning objectives and outcomes, training materials, and tools such as an accessible guide, an Augmented Reality (AR) app and Universal Design for Learning guidlines. These resources were designed to help professionals integrate and use them effectively while training their beneficiaries, making the learning experience more impactful. A key aspect of the Green Enough Project was its focus on promoting autonomy and fostering daily living skills in an environmentally friendly manner, as well as the promotion of inclussivness and accessibility in education for marginalised people, such as individuals with D.D./I.D.
The fight against climite change is crucial for all. A lot of studies observe that disabled individuals exhibite lower levels of environmental awareness and commitment, coupled with reduced consumption efficiency compared to socially integrated citizens. However, they also consume fewer environmentally sensitive resources than the general population. Individuals living in dependent care or at home with regular assistance from caregivers are less likely to demonstrate environmentally friendly practices. Ploes, ARCIL, and Eudajmona, organisations with extensive experience in supporting individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities (D.D./I.D.), identified this issue and acknowledged the importance of taking action. They concluded that the most effective approach was to provide targeted education for mental health professionals, equipping them to train their beneficiaries effectively. Additionally, they focused on improving the competence of the mental health professionals, producing quality and cerftified materials. After thorough research, a combination of traditional and digital materials was deemed the optimal solution, followed by relevant learning, teaching, training activities and piloting sessions.
