EnvironMental: Ekologiczna i e-MOC-jonalna edukacja dorosłych

"<< Background >>We live in a time of Climate Emergency, European Green Deal was announced in 2019 hoping to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050 and one of the main focuses of the new Erasmus+ Programme 2021–2027 (‘Green Erasmus’) is environmental education, nevertheless, our collective actions do not yet approximate a real understanding of it. Quite the contrary, adult learners are a specially challenging target group in environmental education as many times they already present a fixed set of values and behaviours and also even a negation-based passive or negative attitudes that are not easy to work with. Our partnership has worked on improving this adult learning process. << Objectives >>the General Objectives (GOs) of our project are as follows:GO1. Enhance skills and expertise in the topic of climate change denial for adult educators from organizations working in non-formal and informal education. Target group: Adult educators from our non-governmental organizations who work daily with adults from our communities.GO2. Raise awareness through the creation of new materials that integrate ecological and emotional issues for adult educators from organizations working in non-formal and informal education. Target group: Adult educators from our organizations and other entities.GO3. Improve the understanding of the significance of environmental actions among adults and their motivation for lifelong learning, as well as for cultivating pro-environmental attitudes. Target group: Adults who are learning.GO4. Enhance the cross-sectoral inclusion of ecological and emotional education in the third sector and other adult education institutions.
