About the ProjectGREEN ROOFS – Green Roof Technician Training Program
Funded by Erasmus+
Duration: 01/09/2022 – 31/08/2025
Project No: 2022-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000086828
Developed by a 7-country consortium led by the Silesian University of Technology (Poland) and including partners from Italy, Slovenia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Romania, and Portugal, this project introduces a new multidisciplinary professional profile: Green Roof Technician.
The GREEN ROOFS – Green Roof Technician Training Program (2022-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000086828) is an Erasmus+ project green-roofs.eu aiming to promote sustainable urban development by creating a new professional profile for green roof technicians. The project has developed an innovative multilingual e-learning platform with five modules and interactive tools tailored to VET learners and teachers. Its main outcomes include the training course, instructor manual, Moodle-based learning environment, and stakeholder guidelines. The project enhances digital and green skills in the construction and landscaping sectors and supports the green transition in urban policy and education. In 2024, the course was piloted in all partner countries, including Slovenia, where more than 45 VET learners and teachers tested the training content within secondary and higher vocational construction schools. National Info Days, online presentations, and stakeholder workshops have contributed to increased awareness, feedback collection, and stronger links between education, urban policy, and green innovation. The project is already having an impact on integrating green roof topics into VET curricula and local planning discussions.
National Info Days and Conferences Currently, national info days are taking place across participating countries to introduce the course and exchange good practices. 20.5.2025 is info day in Slovenia. More>>>
