Our Activities and Results
During the project, we organised trainings, trained volunteer coaches and implemented learning programmes for different target groups. Through these activities we reached many people in Germany and supported them in adopting more sustainable habits in their daily lives and workplaces.
Capacity Building for Our Team
At the beginning of the project, we organised internal capacity-building trainings for our team. The aim was to strengthen our expertise in behaviour change approaches, coaching methods and adult education.
A total of 5 staff members of our organisation participated in these trainings. Each participant completed approximately 33–35 hours of training, combining theoretical knowledge with practical facilitation and coaching methods.
These trainings provided the foundation for implementing the learning programmes and training activities within the project.
Training of Change Agent Coaches
A central component of the project was the training of Change Agent Coaches. These volunteer coaches support people in adopting more sustainable everyday practices and act as multipliers within their communities and workplaces.
Within the project, we trained 110 volunteer coaches who later supported learning programmes with households and office environments.
The training programme consisted of approximately 17–30 hours of training, covering topics such as:
To support the training, we developed a comprehensive education kit, including:
We also created an online self-learning platform where coaches can access learning materials and further resources.
Learning Programme for Offices
Another focus of the project was a learning programme designed for offices and workplaces. Together with participants, we explored practical ways to integrate sustainability into everyday work routines, for example by addressing energy use, material consumption and waste management in offices.
Through these activities, 132 office employees in Germany participated in the programme.
Participants received an education kit consisting of hand-outs, a workbook and additional online learning content that supported them in implementing concrete sustainability measures in their workplaces.
Learning Programme for Households and Communities
In addition to activities in office environments, we also implemented learning programmes for households and community groups. We worked with different target groups, including members of the Turkish community as well as other households in Germany.
The programme focused on practical everyday topics such as:
In total, 188 adults from households participated in these learning programmes.
Participants were supported with an education kit including hand-outs, a workbook and online materials, helping them apply the project recommendations in their daily lives.
Dissemination of Project Results
An important part of our work was also the dissemination of the project results. We presented the developed methods, materials and experiences at various events and shared them through our communication channels.
Through workshops, events and online communication, we were able to reach many multipliers, stakeholders and interested citizens, helping to raise awareness about sustainable lifestyles and behaviour change.
