Being in line with the European Green Deal and the GreenComp, MindtheCAP project aims to foster long-term and large-scale behavioural change by bringing together young citizens, local communities, NGOs, and other European stakeholders, to involve them in a process of knowledge co-creation, awareness-raising, and context-based activism around climate change and sustainable development.​

​

Objectives of the project:

- to set-up and operate a network of living labs for climate change and sustainable development education;

- to co-create, together with target groups and communities, a multidisciplinary competence framework, key competences, and innovative educational approaches, including distant learning;

- to test and demonstrate the framework in pilot educational interventions;

- to activate behavioural change through knowledge mobilisation;

- to improve knowledge, skill, and attitudes around climate change and sustainable development;

- to cluster and cooperate with the already existing and up-coming initiatives focusing on climate change and sustainable development;

- to deliver exploitable educational programmes and training material.

​

Implementation of the project:

- developing the European competence framework on climate change and sustainable development;
- preparing a catalogue of educational resources;

- setting up living labs on the topics of climate change and sustainable development;

- developing educational Initiatives aimed at improving knowledge, skills, and awareness on climate change and sustainability for young European citizens;

- assessing the impact of the competence framework and living labs’ activity on climate change and sustainable development knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the selected target groups.

Results of the project: 

The project gives a voice to new generations and together with them shapes the future strategies for sustainable development, for when given the opportunity, support and space to make a difference, youth can – and will – rise to the occasion.

The project’s key objectives are creating a robust framework for climate change education, setting up effective living labs, and mobilising knowledge to inspire behavioural change. The combination of co-creation with communities, targeted educational initiatives, and the collaborative approach with other organisations has contributed to a sustainable educational model that can be scaled and adapted for wider use across Europe and beyond.
