Project Summary

THE PROJECT PROVIDES FOR THE PARTICIPATION OF 7 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE FOLLOWING 5 COUNTRIES ITALY, GERMANY, POLAND, GREECE AND FINLAND.
THE PARTNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ON THE BASIS OF ITS ABILITY TO BRING ADVANTAGES TO THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED IN THE PROJECT.
The circular economy is a key idea, a paradigm, capable of inspiring and guiding the choices of enterprise, organization, and citizens. Today it is possible a new convergence between ecology,economy, new digital technologies, expectations, and social and cultural needs. Green economy and sharing economy, smart cities, and resilient cities. Until now the ways and consequences of energy substances derived from oil and from the irreversible production of material and energy waste are prevalent, the circular economy is proposed as a resilient economic system, designed and managed in order to improve the reproducibility and availability of natural resources.
In 2019, the European Commission adopted a report on its action plan for the circular economy, to stimulate the transition to the circular economy. Nevertheless, much still needs to be done to enhance action at the national and global level, finding the missing link and achieving the competitive advantage that the economy circulates to EU businesses. It is, therefore, necessary to move to an overview of the supply chains that allow the reprogramming of the current methods of product design and development, management of raw materials and energy resources and end-of-life products.
The principles behind the economy are first of all a cultural achievement. For example, while Germany recycles 60% of the waste, the Czech Republic does it only for 30%. A huge obstacle to the
development of the circular economy future in Europe is, therefore, a cultural approach. Therefore the present project proposal arises from the need to implement an international collaboration on the circular economy sector, through the composition of a European partnership, composed by subjects with different experiences in the field of training, awareness, and scientific dissemination.
The project intends to promote the exchange of good practices addressed to stakeholders as institutions for investments, companies, public bodies, and citizens interested in the topic. THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION OF TRAINING, SEMINAR AND CYCLES OF MEETINGS DESIGNED FOR EACH OF THE TARGETS IDENTIFIED AND TO DO AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.
From this process, the project intends to implement
– a scientific research report
– a summary ebook as a result of the exchange of the good practices at European level
– a training course (JSTE) based on the creation of a didactic methodology shared by the partnership.
– dissemination meetings

THE MAIN RESULTS EUCYCLE INTENDS TO OBTAIN ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1. TO EXCHANGE GOOD PRACTICES ON THE THEME OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
2. TOACTIVATE AN INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAM WITHIN THE PARTNERSHIP
3. TO IMPLEMENT NEW TRAINING METHODOLOGIES

THE IMPACT WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH:
-THE FREE SHARING OF ALL DEVELOPED MATERIALS
-ORGANIZATION OF TRAINING EVENTS OPEN TO STAKEHOLDERS AND CITIZENS IN GENERAL
-Development of press conferences with the media
– SENDING PRESS RELEASES
-ORGANIZATION OF DISSEMINATION MEETINGS
– DEVELOPMENT OF MEETINGS WITH POLITICAL DECISION MAKERS
-MASSIVE USE OF WEB AND SOCIAL MEDIA
-PUBLICATION AND PRINTING OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
-INVOLVEMENT OF MANY ASSOCIATED PARTNERS WHO WILL FAVOR EXPLOITATION, WORKING AS LOCAL MULTIPLIERS
-PROMOTION OF THE PROJECT ON EUROPEAN NETWORKS AND CHATS
– INVOLVEMENT OF EXPERTS IN THE SECTOR
-REALIZATION OF RADIO TRANSMISSIONS WITH SERVICES ON THE AIR ON A NATIONAL SCALE (ON THE LAVORADIO NETWORK)
– INVOLVEMENT OF JOURNALISTIC AND TELEVISION HEADS (FOR EXAMPLE RAI 3)
-PROMOTION ON VARIOUS EUROPEAN PLATFORMS
