EPALE - Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe

In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, 849 organizations across Europe were involved in organizing and managing mobilities in the adult education sector. This number is expected to grow due to the granting of Accreditation for those working in Adult Education, ensuring continuity for organizations that meet high standards in ecological, digital, and social transitions, aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda. The EDUGREENER project aims to address the lack of standardized methods for sustainable mobilities and the need for clear guidelines to improve the quality and sustainability of Erasmus+ Adult Education mobilities.

Objectives

The main objective of the EDUGREENER project is to standardize procedures to ensure greener and more sustainable Erasmus+ Adult Education mobilities in Europe. This involves:

• Learning and applying best practices in organizing and managing sustainable office work, training, travel, accommodation, and everyday activities (O1).
• Standardizing processes and selecting appropriate products to ensure sustainable mobilities within the Erasmus+ Adult Education Area, enhancing quality assurance (O2).
• Providing Erasmus+ National Agencies with guidelines to facilitate monitoring and evaluation of sustainable practices by sending organizations (O3).

Results

The expected results of the EDUGREENER project include:

1. Collection of best practices in sustainable management.
2. Creation of a handbook on greener practices in KA1 Adult Education mobilities.
3. Development of national recommendations for adopting greener practices by sending organizations.
