Think differently and act differently

"<< Background >>We implemented this project because we want to get involved in finding solutions to reduce the negative impact of household activities on the environment. We believe that adopting more environmentally friendly practices in the family is one way to meet this challenge.The partners identified among local communities the need for awareness, education and motivation of individuals to adopt more environmentally friendly practices in the family. We found that there is a real interest among members of local communities to learn how to protect their environment. Many are aware that their practices are not sustainable, but they do not know what they need to do or how easy it is to get involved. Our answer to these needs was the TD&AD kit, an awareness-learning-motivation tool addressed to parents and children in an intergenerational learning approach. Its elaboration was possible through the collaboration of the partners' trainers after participating in 2 learning activities and the exchange of good practices.For the results of our project to benefit as many organizations as possible, we created the TD&AD network at the European level.<< Objectives >>We implemented the TD&AD Project in order to raise awareness, educate and motivate people to adopt more environmentally friendly practices within families within households. To achieve this goal, we created the TD&AD kit as an intergenerational learning tool to put parents and children together. In order for these results to have as much impact as possible, we disseminated them and transferred them to other organizations. The 4 objectives underlying the achievement of the project goal are: OB1."" Improving competences and training methods in the field of environmental protection for 15 trainers through 2 transnational learning activities and exchange of good practices to create the learning tool for adults TD&AD""OB2: ""Competence development and skills training for a more environmentally friendly lifestyle for 50 families by using TD&AD during 2 non-formal learning activities""OB3: ""Raising awareness and motivating 500 families to adopt a more environmentally friendly attitude by using TD&AD""OB4: ""Creation of a TD&AD network at European level to support the transition to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle""<< Implementation >>The main activities implemented in the TD&AD project were:•2 learning activities and exchange of good practices with G1 members (partner trainers) in Portugal and Greece;•Development of TD&AD kit consisting of: Guide, 2 animated educational videos, e-Learning Platform;•2 TD&AD kit learning and testing workshops with 50 parents and their children (G2 members);•Awareness and motivation campaigns for more environmentally friendly practices with more than 500 parents;•5 multiplier events with a total of 222 participants•Promotion and dissemination activities << Results >>Guide consisting of 2 chapters;•2 animated videos related to the impact of household impact on the environment and circular economy •an e-Learning paltform •2 training workshopsResults of Learning and Exchange of Good Practice Activities•Improved skills for 15 trainers in environmental protection and circular economy;•Training methods and techniques specific to intergenerational education.Results of workshops with G2•Separate waste collection skills in the family•Skills to eliminate food, energy, and water waste•Reducing plastic consumption•TD&AD kit tested and improved for transferability.• 30 posts on the project blog after the practical activities carried out in families of the target groupResults of awareness campaigns•510 parents aware and motivated to adopt more environmentally friendly practices in face-to-face and online meetings• more than 20,000 persons awarded and motivated to adopt environmentally friendly attitudes on social media Multiplier event results• 222 persons informed about project results•TD&AD network consisting of 63 MembersResults of the Dissemination Commission•64791 people came into contact with the TD&AD project and its results"
