The project ECOresponsible (No 2024-2-PL01-KA210-ADU-0002849420) international team from Poland, Italy and Latvia are meeting during Latvia study visit on June 23-25, 2025.

During three study days older learners and project staff learn about waste minimization, solutions for reducing food waste for households, waste sorting, smart and healthy cooking, and healthy lifestyles. The participants exchange experience through lectures, hands-on workshops, do-it-yourself sessions, and visits to strengthen green skills and sustainability awareness.

Project start date is April 1, 2025 and will last by March 31, 2027. The project is devoted to adult education, particularly, older learners, to promote international collaboration in the field of green skills, environmental sustainability and climate change. 

The project aims to exchange experiences between three organizations from Poland, Italian and Latvia that work with the elderly. It focuses on developing green competences through adult education, increasing their environmental awareness and promoting pro-ecological attitudes. The project will include three international events, involving both staff and seniors. The first of them will be a study visit to Latvia, during which participants will learn about good practices in the field of conscious, ecological choices. This will be followed by two creative ecological workshops – in Italy and Poland. In addition, a virtual gallery of seniors' works will be created and open days will be organized in each of the partner organizations. The expected results of the project are, among mentioned visits, the development of international cooperation, the introduction of new ecological content to classes for seniors and the increase of their awareness of environmental protection. The key effect will be to change the daily habits of the participants.

Project is coordinated by 

• Polish organization Bohaterów Wybrzeża Continuing Education Centre represented by Third Age University in Sopot, Poland,
• with participation of University of Third Age from Novara in Italy
• and Senior University initiative managed by NGO Project Net from Latvia.
