Our main objective was to develop and implement practical educational tools that would raise environmental awareness and support adults in adopting eco-friendly lifestyles. We aimed to equip educators and community leaders with resources that are easy to use and can be widely shared. We also sought to create opportunities for dialogue, mutual learning, and the exchange of best practices between partner organizations from different EU countries. More specifically, we intended to deliver two key outputs: an educational script titled "Together for Eco-friendly Life" and an online platform to promote ecological behaviors and host digital content. Through international meetings, workshops, and a dissemination event, we aimed to build the capacity of participating organizations and increase the outreach of our message. Ultimately, we hoped to contribute to EU priorities on green transition and lifelong learning, while fostering stronger transnational cooperation among NGOs active in the field of adult education and ecology.
We applied for this project to address the growing need for ecological education and climate awareness among adults across Europe. Our societies are facing major environmental challenges, including air and water pollution, overconsumption, and climate change. These global threats require coordinated local actions supported by informed communities. Despite increasing attention given to climate issues, many adults still lack practical knowledge and tools to live in an environmentally conscious way. We recognized a gap in accessible, non-formal educational resources that would help communities adopt sustainable practices in their everyday lives. Moreover, we saw the potential for long-term change by empowering adult educators with content and methodologies that can be shared within local and national networks. The project also addressed the specific need for raising awareness on how environmental degradation impacts human health. We aimed to connect health education with ecological awareness to promote a new, holistic understanding of sustainability and well-being.
