Project description

“Co-education in Green” project core activities seek to promote an environmental community education through project-based learning, led by adult educators but counting on the participation of learners, including those with special needs, and the local education community.

The target groups of the project are adult educators, adult learners, especially those with special needs, and education communities as the project focuses on strengthening competences on community education, environmental issues and accessibility for people with special needs as well as leadership and motivational skills.

Co-education in Green project is expected to have an impact in the involved local communities, but its outcomes are expected to have an impact also at regional, national and international level. The project will foster international cooperation for transferring knowledge and experiences related to the co-creation of shared green spaces and formalise and establish a sustainable network of actors that work on the transformation of shared spaces to greener areas that tackles the different problems that communities face in relation to their natural environment and social inclusion.

The pedagogical approach to non-formal community learning seeks to promote values of non-discrimination, active citizenship, integration in the context of diversity and protection of the natural environment.

Project objectives

  • Empowering adult educators to become leaders in their local communities.
  • Promote cooperative projects of transformation of shared spaces into greener and more accessible areas, fostering social inclusion, common values and participation as well as to face environmental issues.

Project Results

  • Methodology of the creation of shared green shared spaces and implementation procedures.
  • Online Training Kit for improving educators competences and skills on environmental-oriented cooperative education through the collaborative transformation of shared spaces into green accessible areas.
  • Manual for adult educators and educational centres on how to co-create multisensory gardens for adults with special needs.
  • The output that will include the organisation of a one-day event of co-creation of a multisensory garden in all partner countries.
