Green Explorers

project is an international educational initiative aimed at increasing ecological awareness and promoting a sustainable lifestyle among adults. The project involves organizations from Poland and Slovakia, working together to develop modern educational tools and interactive learning methods. The key activities include the creation of interactive online educational modules, the organization of urban quests, the development of an educational comic book, and the establishment of local educational centers—"sustainability cabinets."

The project focuses on the 5R principles (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot) and the zero waste philosophy, providing practical solutions and inspiration for a more sustainable way of living. The G.E.A.R.S. project aims to develop and implement 10 interactive online modules on ecological practices, available in Polish, Slovak, and English. Another goal is the organization of 20 urban quests in Poland and Slovakia, allowing participants to explore local ecological initiatives. As part of the project, an educational comic book will also be created, illustrating participants’ journeys toward a more sustainable lifestyle. An essential component of the project is the development and accreditation of an educational program, which will be approved by the Ministry of Education in Slovakia and aligned with EU GreenComp standards. The final key activity involves the creation and distribution of „sustainability cabinets,” which will serve as educational spaces accessible to local communities.

Project parcipants:

The project is targeted at adults aged 21-60 who want to gain knowledge about ecology and apply it in their daily lives. It also includes adult educators and trainers looking for modern teaching tools for sustainability education. A key target group is local community members interested in learning about ecological initiatives in their surroundings. Additionally, the project addresses educational institutions and policymakers interested in supporting ecological educational programs.

The implementation of the project includes several key activities. First, project management will ensure smooth collaboration between partners and the timely execution of objectives. A crucial component is the transformation of an existing ecological education program into interactive online modules, allowing participants to acquire knowledge in a flexible and modern way. Practical activities will include urban educational quests—20 events in various cities across Poland and Slovakia, engaging participants in hands-on learning about sustainable lifestyles. A complementary element will be the creation of an educational comic book, which will present participants’ stories and ecological experiences in an accessible format. The project also includes the process of accrediting the educational program, which will enable its official recognition and integration into the adult education system in Slovakia. The final key activity involves the creation and distribution of sustainability cabinets, which will serve as local educational hubs and resources for individuals interested in ecological practices.
