GA number: 2023-1-PL01-KA220-VET-000151774
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 1/12/2023 – 30/11/2025
Challenge
Waste management has become a hot topic due to the huge amount of waste produced in Europe (EC, 2018). Annually, 5 tonnes of waste are produced by an average European and 60% ends up in the landfill, creating many environmental problems. Change is required and this can be achieved by a bottom-up approach through VET and the integration of environmental issues caused by waste management. Thus, VET providers/trainers need to be trained and educated on producing innovative learning material to promote engagement towards sustainable waste management.
Innovation
The GROWS project aspires to foster environmental awareness by enhancing the ability of VET providers to implement eco-friendly practices, focused on sustainable waste management.
