About the project

The international partnership of educational organisations from the Netherlands and Lithuania is working on developing an adult education program and open online course for young adults to raise their awareness about circular economy principles, encourage them to change their behaviour and develop their circular skills and competences. 

Our non-formal learning methodology involves members of socially disadvantaged groups (senior citizens, people from remote rural areas and migrants from developing countries) as adult educators in this course in order to encourage them to share their experience, cultural heritage and creativity and to empower their social participation and social recognition.
