Project Summary

European society, like the rest of the world, is now necessarily entering a period of transition. Indeed, the global environmental, social and economic landscape is changing rapidly. These changes are based on a real global climate emergency. With the rapid evolutions of digital solutions and digital technologies, the needs of professionals are increasingly shaped by intelligent design and other artificial intelligence.

Our relationship to time, space and the other in general are turned upside down. The challenge we will face in the coming years and decades is not so much that of the increase or even the substitution of man by the machine but deciding on the place we will give to the developments of these technologies. This context brings society, and particularly young people, European citizens of the future, to raise many questions, including employability and work for all. This problem is preponderant everywhere in Europe. Our project “Green Technologies: new job opportunities” aims to create links and propose a path of information and mediation in response to these concerns. This project contributes to answering these major issues such as vocational guidance (and therefore jobs) and climate change and has been devised to respond to a need for adapted information for citizens.

Four partners from South-West Europe, Ecocene (France), GAL Molise (Italy), Sargantana (Spain) and eFuturo (Portugal) have done together a partnership to address this European issue. Specialists in formal and non-formal training of young people and adults, environmental education, popular science, geosciences and green technologies, all following the progress of research, form an innovative consortium of complementary. Concretely, it is to equip the actors in the field of education, training, guidance and counseling to employment as much as young people to discover the possibilities offered by GreenTechnology to answer the stakes of the sustainable development in the territories.

The project has the following objectives:
– contribute to the achievement of the objectives related to energy transition and the Sustainable Development Goals in terms of education, training and orientation of citizens (especially young people) on the green and innovative jobs of tomorrow
– to inform the public about the jobs and training related to Green Emerging Technology in Europe by highlighting the potentialities of the territories of the consortium partners (South-West Europe)
– give access to the actors in the field of education training, guidance and professional advice to attractive tools of information and training in GreenTechnology
– promote the perspectives related to the trades linking new technologies and environment based on robotics, artificial intelligence and other to tend towards new alternative, collaborative and sustainable forms of production and consumption

The overall results of the project “Green Technologies: new employment opportunities” will meet the needs of European actors in the fields of education, training, vocational guidance and employment (and therefore in a second time, young people aged 15-30) to have available perennial, updated (and evolving) and pedagogically innovative tools to better adapt to the upheaval of the professional world.
