We wanted to achieve several levels of positive change (objectives): 1. Implementation of new knowledge and skills in the field of sustainable development and permaculture, with the aim of empowering persons engaged in education, especially for marginalized social groups. This was achieved through a 5-day trainings, organized by each of the partners involved in the project with a user group that includes marginalized social groups with whom it is even more challenging to conduct educational activities (eg homeless, people with intellectual disabilities and adults). The second level of positive change refers to the: 2. Empowerment of users through the exchange of knowledge and skills and the creation of a future common platform for the dissemination of knowledge to people involved in education. This will be achieved by connecting through the EPALE platform, and we expect to continue cooperation with partner organizations after the completion of project activities. The third level of change that will be achieved through the 3. Development of an online brochure, which will further expand the availability of information on the practical application of sustainable development and permaculture in educational activities
We applyed for this project to exchange various green sustainable skills that will develop human resources within partner organisations, develop key competences of their staff, start new non-formal educational activities and entrepreneurship initiatives, and promote social inclusion of marginalised groups. By investing in team capacity building and acquiring new knowledge, we can enhance our problem-solving abilities, boost innovation, improve collaboration, and increase overall productivity. Additionally, continuous learning helps our team to stay updated with the latest trends and best practices, thereby enabling us to adapt to changing work environments effectively. Another reason is to build a global network of partners and professional contacts that we can share in the future. Our needs were empowerment of our skills, inclusive participation: ensure that the project is accessible to people of all backgrounds, including marginalized and disadvantaged communities, capacity building, raise awareness about the importance of sustainability and permaculture. Cultural exchange with different country provided us firsthand experience of a new culture, language, and new skills and metods how to adress to a problem.
