Learning for the green transition

In recent years, EU policy has been incre­a­sing­ly concerned with the issue of envi­ron­men­tal sus­taina­bi­li­ty. With the European Green Deal, the European Commission wants to make the EU economy more sus­tainable and make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. As part of this plan, the Commission has launched the Education for Climate Coalition. To support the inte­gra­ti­on of the green tran­si­ti­on and sus­taina­bi­li­ty into education and training, a recom­men­da­ti­on has been proposed that later was adopted under the title “Learning for the green tran­si­ti­on and sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment”. Environmental pro­tec­tion and the fight against climate change is also one of the four prio­ri­ties of the new Erasmus+ programme for the period 2021–2027, together with inclusion and diversity, digital trans­for­ma­ti­on and more par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in demo­cra­tic life.

Learning for envi­ron­men­tal sus­taina­bi­li­ty — good practice in Erasmus+ Projects 

The aim of this project is a syste­ma­tic survey and analysis of Erasmus+ projects with a focus on learning for sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment. In doing so, 15 examples of good practice are extracted from 120 projects and presented in a final report. 3s (Monika Auzinger) coor­di­na­tes the project. The input of experts supports the selection and com­pa­ra­ti­ve analyses. Click here for the final report of the project.

New Council Recommendation on the way 

Another project in this field supports the European Commission in preparing the Council Recommendation on learning for the green tran­si­ti­on. 3s (Monika Auzinger) coor­di­na­tes a team of experts and par­ti­ci­pa­tes in the orga­ni­sa­ti­on of expert con­sul­ta­ti­ons, the ela­bo­ra­ti­on of thematic con­tri­bu­ti­ons to the Commission Staff Working Document and the analysis of the results of the public con­sul­ta­ti­on on this topic.
