The main objective of EDUGREENER was to improve the sustainability of Erasmus+ mobilities in the adult education sector. To achieve this, the project sought to identify and standardise good environmental, economic and social practices applicable at each stage of the mobilities. In addition, it aimed to raise awareness of sustainability among beneficiaries, promote transnational collaboration and provide useful tools for national agencies. EDUGREENER also hoped to create a handbook of sustainable practices that could be adopted in other sectors of the Erasmus+ programme. In implementing the project, it sought to contribute to the European objectives of green and digital transition, ensuring high quality mobilities that positively impact local communities and the wider European context
The EDUGREENER project was requested to address the need to standardise and promote sustainable practices in Erasmus+ mobilities for adult education. This responds to the lack of common methodologies to ensure environmental, economic and social sustainability in all phases of mobilities (preparation, implementation and evaluation). In addition, a lack of sustainability awareness and training among beneficiaries and organisations involved was identified. EDUGREENER addresses key Erasmus+ priorities such as green transition, social inclusion and digitalisation. The project brings together partners from Spain, Italy and Greece to foster transnational cooperation, develop useful tools and recommendations for national agencies and ensure more sustainable mobilities that serve as a model for other education sectors.
