The challenges of Greening
Main Info
TCA Description
The aim of the seminar is to improve the implementation of Erasmus+ projects so that they become more environmentally sustainable, as well as to strengthen the networking between the participating organizations, so that they can cooperate within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, around this topic. The main goal of the seminar is to increase awareness and understanding of the Erasmus+ horizontal priority “Environment and fight against climate change”. The seminar will support the participants in understanding the possibilities of carrying out Erasmus+ projects in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way. We will tackle the topics of project implementation, travel, and event organisation from the point of view of sustainability, as well as cover other green practices in education. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to attend presentations by invited experts from Greece and abroad, as well as examples of good practices. Afterwards, they will work in smaller transnational groups on issues of sustainable implementation of Erasmus+ projects, under the guidance of an external expert. This seminar aims to attract and engage Erasmus+ beneficiaries (both Key Action 1 – learning mobility and Key Action 2 – partnerships for cooperation) in all the fields of education and training - school education (SCH), vocational education and training (VET), adult education (ADU) and higher education (HE).
IKY (EL01) organizes this transnational seminar for newcomers and less experienced beneficiaries, as well as experienced beneficiaries in the implementation of Erasmus+ projects in a sustainable way. As a result of the seminar, we expect the participants to have a better understanding of the Erasmus+ horizontal priority of environment and fight against climate change. The guest lectures, good practice examples and group discussions should provide the participants with new ideas how to implement their projects in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way.
