As part of the project, we wanted to create an initiative that would respond to the current European and global ecological crisis and professional challenges focused on ecology. The main goal of the "Green Jobs in NGO" project was to carry out a green transformation of NGO jobs. Improving the quality of vocational education and training by developing green and soft competences of their employees and cooperating people, acquired as part of international cooperation. The project aimed to change habits in the workplace.
We applied for the project because we noticed the need to increase the number of educational activities focusing on the topic of optimal ecological transformation, necessary to meet the goals of the European Green Deal (EGD) set by the European Commission. The project focused on developing the ecological competences of people associated with NGOs to support governments in carrying out the ecological transformation. In our opinion, access to environmental education for non-governmental organizations was low, and thanks to the acquired knowledge and skills, NGOs had the opportunity to raise the dimension of their activities to the European level. Particular emphasis was placed on constantly increasing the quality of education and vocational training of these people, which is a response to the needs of the modern labor market focused on acquiring and developing ecological skills. Needs answered by the project: 1. Creating green jobs NGOs, for the need to build a green economy 2. Creating opportunities for vocational education and training by involving organizations with fewer opportunities and operating on a small scale in the project. 3. Establishing cooperation and networking for the education of NGOs.
