EURECA

Training

The primary aim of EURECA Academy is to create urban ecology training with a focus on the learner, aiming to strengthen awareness of climate change and sustainability issues. Additionally, the initiative involves developing a tailored e-platform so these valuable contents are inclusive and widely accessible to the public. This training ensures that participants not only gain knowledge about basics of environment, ecology, and climate-friendly behaviors but also enables them to directly apply these principles in their daily lives and educational pursuits.

The educational content developed during the training is not only tailored to align with EU policies but is also crafted to suit non-formal education settings, including adult centers and adult education ecosystems. Additionally, incorporating the perspectives of various EU countries enriches the training by offering valuable insights and educational benefits derived from diverse EU viewpoints.

Thanks to the EURECA OER platform, this training aims to achieve the objective of exchanging knowledge and best practices in urban ecology, thereby enhancing awareness and visibility of climate change issues. Participants will have access to a tailored, free-of-charge, and easily accessible educational program on urban ecology, providing various avenues for improving urban environments. Additionally, incorporating the perspectives of various EU countries enriches the training by offering valuable insights and educational benefits derived from diverse EU viewpoints.
The primary focus is on educating adults, including educators, trainers, advisors, the general public (individuals interested in ecology and the environment), NGOs, national parks staff, and local government representatives. The goal is to enhance personal green skills through a non-formal and inclusive approach.

Furthermore, this training will play a pivotal role in improving digital skills of the learners, as digital skills and the utilization of digital resources will form the foundation of this training. It will involve the creation of the multilingual EURECA Educational Program on Urban Ecology, encompassing a wide array of topics such as:
