Sustainability (Erasmus+ and Sustainability Goals)
The Career Gardeners project, funded under the Erasmus+ programme, is dedicated to merging the initiative's core educational and training objectives with a strong commitment to sustainability. This commitment reflects in every aspect of our project—from the development of educational content to the execution of our activities.
Erasmus+ Programme Alignment
Erasmus+ aims to support the educational, professional, and personal development of people in Europe and beyond, with a focus on promoting sustainable skills and behaviours. The Career Gardeners project embraces this by providing resources and learning opportunities that encourage young people and youth workers to consider sustainability in their career planning and development. We aim to cultivate an understanding of how personal values and career choices can align with broader environmental goals, thus contributing to a sustainable future.
Focus on Sustainability
Sustainability in the Career Gardeners project is twofold:
- Educational Content: We incorporate sustainability themes into our interactive eLearning courses, toolkits, and workshops. Topics cover understanding the green economy, recognising the importance of sustainable practices in various professions, and exploring how individuals can contribute to environmental conservation through their career choices.
- Practical Application: Beyond theoretical knowledge, the project emphasises practical applications of sustainability. This includes promoting sustainable living practices among participants and encouraging the implementation of green initiatives within communities. Our aim is to demonstrate that sustainability is not just a concept to learn about but a lifestyle choice that can be integrated into personal and professional life.
Building a Sustainable Future
Through the Career Gardeners project, we're not just preparing young people for the job market; we're preparing them for a sustainable future. We believe that by integrating sustainability into career planning, we can help forge a new generation of environmentally conscious professionals who will drive change in their industries. This approach aligns with the Erasmus+ objective of creating a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient Europe.
By focusing on sustainability as a core component of our project, we're taking steps to ensure that our participants are not only well-prepared for their careers but are also equipped to make decisions that benefit both their communities and the planet.
