Digital innovation and the adoption of new digital practices must go hand in hand with a concern for environmental and climate goals, as well as with inclusion and equality. The project aims to develop digital teaching materials and tools to support and enhance the effective use of eco-friendly digital technologies. It will bring together the concepts of digital readiness and resilience, environmental sustainability, and inclusion, and explore the multiple intersections between them, bringing together experts and organisations from these thematic areas for a mutually enriching experience. Learners of all backgrounds, including learners with disabilities and difficulties, will be able to develop their skills and attitudes to live more sustainably and contribute to the digital transformation.
Objectives:
1. Increase the environmental awareness and resilience of adult educators in the partner countries and more widely by providing them with effective tools and materials to support sustainability in their practices;
2. Promote the inclusion and improve the learning outcomes of learners with disabilities and difficulties;
3. Create a pool of skilled trainers and resources that can support the building of capacity of adult educators;
4. Raise awareness about the importance of environmental sustainability and social inclusion in adult education practices, and the ways everyone can contribute to these large goals through taking small steps;
