EUBILD-UNAKLIM (EUropäisches BILDungskonzept im Umwelt-, NAtur,- und KLIMaschutz zur Sicherung einer grenzüberschreitenden nachhaltigen Entwicklung, European Educational Concept in Environmental- Nature- and Climate-Protection to safeguard Cross-Border Sustainable Development) acts in the CONTEXT of • Furthering education adult training • Environmental topics It supports the Europe 2020 Strategy, Mobility Strategy 2020 for the European Higher Education Area, European Qualification Framework EQF, European inventory on validation of non-formal and informal learning 2014, EPALE strategies, the European Education and Training Strategy 2020. The Europe 2020 Strategy Climate and Energy Targets are supported and the target to bring 75% of the population aged 20-64 into jobs and reduce poverty in Europe. GAPS BETWEEN EU DOCUMENTS AND THE EVERYDAY LIFE show that • Environmental protection can only be performed in transnational context. It needs sensitive combination with agrarian -, transport-, building - and economic - policy.• The to-day adult education systems must be widened: - they must become more easily recognised across national borders - non-formal training must become valid, different learning methods be acknowledged. EUBILD-UNAKLIM will serve these key issues. EUBILD-UNAKLIM will create environmental knowledge across national states, serving urgent demand for experts with technical and horizontal environmental knowledge. OBJECTIVEis a cross border adult training concept in environmental topics. Target group are unemployed adults, migrants, age groups in specific life situations. Thematic modules, adapted to be implemented in different countries, enable the participants to a flexible international job market. Innovative learning techniques, flexible tailor-made pathways for finding jobs will be tested. Coherent learning tools will support the European Area of Skills and Qualifications and enable learners to move freely from one country to another for jobs and learning. A course accreditation is envisaged and followed right from the beginning of the project. 5 PARTICIPANTS of 4 countries Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania form the consortium, among them 2 NGOs, 2 Universities and 1 Research Institution. ACTIVITIES • Comparative study in the partner countries • Course curriculum • Summer School• Course test run concept• Training letter as test for EQF-accreditation • Online learning platform with free access to the public • Solar model plant as field laboratory with open access for experiments and hands-on research • Multiplier Events to disseminate and discuss the project’s findings with stakeholders FURTHER ACTIVITIES ARE a project website, partner meetings, mutual visits, a stakeholder database for dissemination, transfer of knowledge, a newsletter, regular project meetings, a project film, excursions, field work, participation and presentation at conferences and job fairs. PROJECT OUTCOMES will be DISSEMINATED via networks, conferences, publications, fairs, on local, regional, national and international level – by digital, paper, film material. METHODIC MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS• Project Management Office (PMO) as steering group• Meetings, minutes, quality circle, project review • General Assembly• Stakeholder Advisory Board• TOOLS TO ENSURE PROJECT PROGRESS: Null-Hundred-Method, Task & Allocation Table, Gantt-Chart, Critical Path Analysis, Milestone Trend Analysis, report templates, communication strategy, Responsibility Matrix.EXPECTED RESULTS • State-of-The-Art Study • Curriculum• Summer School • Test run concept • Model training letter • Newsletter and film• Solar plant field lab • Database on training institutions, course participants, stakeholders • First steps towards accreditationIMPACT ON LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL are enhanced expertise, mutual learning, knowledge transfer in an international working environment. Multiplier events and dissemination activities will create attention of local, regional and national public, create synergies and strengthen the participating organisations and the local regions.LONG TERM BENEFIT AND IMPACT IN EUROPE AND BEYOND • Stronger Networks in less developed regions with more attention from international perspective• Stronger participating organisations, improved self-confidence• Better international cooperation in the regions• Better adult learning quality• Harmonised curricula • Transparent credit systems • Added knowledge across national borders • Increased people mobility• Reduced European expert shortage • Stronger European competitiveness • New job opportunities in Europe and worldwide • Less people in poverty • Better integration of migrants, unemployed persons and other groups into society • Transnational environmental awareness • More green jobs• Contribution to European Climate Protection Targets
