Project Summary

CONTEXT
It is undeniable that a conscious, critical and participatory society encourages a society developed, cohesive and capable of generating positive social changes, influential in public policies. In this sense, in 2015, the General Assembly of the United Nations established 17 Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS) to create a new global model capable of combating the social problems transversal to all societies.
However, European citizens tend to adopt unconscious attitudes rather than incite social change. In line with these causes, an OECD (2012) survey on adult skills has recognized that 4.9% to 27.7% of adults have the lowest level of literacy and 8.1% to 31.7% level in numeracy (PIAAC).

OBJECTIVES
General
To be a project of adult education, training and training, with low levels of competence, articulating the theme of social responsibility before the ODS.

– Disseminating the ODS of Agenda 2030;
– Develop solutions at local level for national and European commitments;
– Contribute to the development of participatory, co-built and socially innovative solutions and the sharing of best practices;
– Design and implement a project that contributes to an active citizenship in the field of sustainability;
– Design and implement participatory methodologies in an active participant citizenship perspective;
– Contribute to the valorization of the territory, identifying problems, debating answers and presenting solutions as a cultural construction of each society;
– Have a set of methodologies and tools that can be replicated by other organizations across Europe and in all communities interested in putting the issue on their agenda;
– developing and strengthening networking, operational capacity and sharing of good practice at European level of organizations;
