The goal of this project was to improve the knowledge of students, teachers and the Health Care sector about the problems regarding waste production and inefficient use of resources. Next to this, the goal was to find solutions to these problems through co-creation between students, teachers and the healthcare sector. This has to be done by creating more circular practices in the healthcare sector. Also the plan was to help towards the implementation of more sustainable education in both the Netherlands and Germany, which is obligatory for VET schools in both countries. This is done by implementing the Climate Action Academy and Young Climathon in both countries.
Both 2811 and Stichting Technotrend are trying to contribute to a world with less environmental pollution and the fight against climate change. Both organisations do this through education about sustainability. This way we try to help speed up the adapting process of vocational education and training to labour market needs of the future, connected to sustainability requirements. Within the healthcare sector, major problems regarding waste pollution and the inefficient use of resources are present. This way, by providing healthcare, the sector contributes to higher care demands in the future, because of their contribution to climate change. This problem has to be tackled, which both organisations did during this project by educating students, teachers and the sector about the problems and automatically we tried to solve these problems.
