SustainableBehaviour: Climate Action for All

Project summary

The Climate Action for All project is an Erasmus+ adult learning project, being developed and implemented by the following organisations Tudatos Vásárlók Egyesülete (TVE) Hungary, GAP Netherlands, and the Baltic Environmental Forum Germany.

The objective of the project is to develop a blended adult learning training programme that helps people in behaviour change for lower climate impact lifestyles. It will be an advanced version of the EcoTeams programmes of TVE and GAP NL and the Household Check programme of BEF, which have verified behaviour change results.

In total 15 staff members and trainers, 110 volunteer coaches and 870 final beneficiaries will participate in the co-creation and the testing of these new adult learning programmes in Hungary, in the Netherlands and Germany.

Key activities of the project involve

  • staff capacity building training
  • coach trainings
  • EcoTeams and Household Check programmes for immigrants and Roma participants, for office workers, and for households: a new topic

Main results of the project

  • The trainers will learn and use blended training methods and new training techniques and will become more efficient in coaching and mentoring
  • The trained coaches will become real agents of change, who will be able to assist final beneficiaries in their behaviour change journey in climate friendly living
  • As part of the project, the partners are developing new training agendas, educational kits and online-self learning platforms for their target groups

The following activities have been implemented so far:

  • Staff capacity building – in person & online – including sessions on: „Amoeba theory“, coaching and facilitation skills, empowering, values, chemicals, positive climate conversations, consumerism and management tools
  • national coach trainings and creation of respective materials:
  • BEF is training and mentoring 50+ coaches working either with offices or households (Turkish Community + Other households)
  • TVE has trained 22 new coaches, who are currently launching their Simpler Life EcoTeams study groups
  • GAP NL has trained 6 new coaches, who are currently running a pilot campaign within their own organisations.

The first rounds of EcoTeams and the first rounds of Household Checks are currently happening in the project countries.
