How is our course “Green education” related to Adult Education Centers: Some thoughts that can give you ideas about your KA1 and KA2 projects.

The green education is a horizontal priority in the EU strategy therefore it is relevant for all of us. More particularly the three main priorities of the EU are now Green, Digital, and Inclusion. The environmental issues are important for everyone and talking about education the “green” aspect is relevant to all levels of education. The ERASMUS+ program guide 2023 specifies the so called Horizontal dimensions of the program that are Green, Digital, Inclusion, Democratic life and key competences. All different actions in the program e.g. KA1 mobilities and KA2 partnerships should take into account these priorities so that the involved organizations learn about them and apply them in their everyday activities.
In the case of Adult Education Centers you should learn about the environment and sustainability issues, be able to promote these principles in your lessons and help your students apply them in their everyday life. As “Green education” is education that focuses on environmental sustainability and the conservation of natural resources “green education”, in the context of adult education, can be relevant in a number of ways. For example, adult learners may participate in classes or workshops that teach them how to reduce their environmental impact, such as by conserving energy and water, reducing waste, or using sustainable transportation. Additionally, adult learners may be interested in learning about how to create more sustainable communities, businesses, or organizations. Additionally, green education for adult learners could include learning about and understanding the impact of climate change on the environment, economy and society. This could also include learning about sustainable development and ways to mitigate the impact of climate change.
Furthermore, in our ERASMUS+ KA1 course “Green education: a project-based interdisciplinary approach” we examine the relation between the “green” and “the digital”. This is important for adult learners because all their activities, professional and personal include the digital aspect. A final thing is that in the course we present the modern methodologies for educators one of which is the design of multidisciplinary projects which applies for whatever subject you teach. Multidisciplinary projects are a convenient approach to education which permits you to incorporate the “green” and the “digital” into your teaching. A final point is “smart cities”, a concept that is directly relevant to adults and citizenship. Paphos, our city, is gradually becoming a smart city so we do include this aspect in our course.
