Project description
The circular economy concept is a response to the aspiration for sustainable growth in the context of the growing pressure of production and consumption on the world’s resources and environment. Making the transition to a circular economy requires a pressing need for new skills, competences and approaches. Education, initial and continuous vocational training, as well as non-vocational adult learning (or “lifelong learning”), have a critical role to play in delivering and updating relevant skills.
The Erasmus+ CYCLE project is intended to create a set of tools and resources to support adult educators contributing to the development and expansion of their professional and educational skills in the circular economy. Including these competences and skills in adult education enhances the active and more responsible citizenship and its compromise with a more sustainable community compromised with existing and future social, economic and environmental challenges.
Objectives
Integration of Circular Economy into Adult Education: To support the inclusion of circular economy concepts into adult education curricula and outreach programs, raising awareness and contributing to the development of a knowledge society.
Improve Non-Vocational Adult Trainers' Competencies: To create tools that enhance and develop the training competencies of non-vocational adult trainers (NVATs), ensuring they can effectively teach circular economy concepts.
Foster Life-Long Learning: To contribute to the integration of life-long learning by improving the skills of adult trainers, thereby supporting the transition to a circular economy.
Develop a Competence Framework: To establish the CYCLE Competences Framework as a reference for future initiatives related to training and the circular economy.
Create an Attractive Learning Pathway: To address existing gaps by developing an engaging and effective learning pathway for NVATs focused on circular economy competences.
Target group
Non-Vocational Adult Trainers (NVATs): Trainers and facilitators who provide adult learning that is not directly linked to the labour market.
General Public: Individuals who need to increase their awareness and understanding of the circular economy.
Workers and Employees: Those who require training to adapt to changes brought by the circular economy, with a focus on immediate and future needs.
Educational Institutions: Schools, universities, and training centers at all levels, where circular economy concepts need to be integrated.
Businesses and SMEs: Companies, especially SMEs, that need to adapt to the circular economy and require educated employees.
Investors and Financiers: Stakeholders in finance who need to understand the implications of the circular economy.
Policy Makers and Public Authorities: Involved in shaping education and economic policies to support the transition to a circular economy.
