Main Concept
Let's improve the quality of our Urban Environment
One of the major European policies is the recent Green Deal and the orientation of major production sectors to the greening of the European economy. Especially for the Environment the proposed policy is focusing to the confrontation of climate change. Theoretically, the existing knowledge has reached large audience, considering the continuous information derived from various sources and the diffusion through several means such as internet, tv etc. The main objective of this project is not only to inform, but mainly to enroll as many citizens as possible to environmental activities and in parallel to develop certain VET skills in environmental activities.

Training in Urban Sustainable activities
01
Urban Horticulture
The activity is taking place in Greece and Turkey. The location of the activity will be the urban areas or areas close to urban
network. The agricultural plots already established in these areas will be located and be used as a paradigm of best practices. In this context the first trainers will be trained in urban agriculture through natural presence and small videos in
YouTube channel, which will be produced for this purpose. In this context a manual of urban agriculture will be produced for
future reference a dissemination taking into account the existing legislation for agriculture in populated areas.
There will be a workshop/seminar in cooperation with universities / plant production Departments so as to facilitate the idea
with more scientific background. The trainers will be given an exam at the end of the activity and a certification of
completion. The project team in cooperation with certification bodies will examine the possibility to certify the trainers with a recognized certificate as urban agriculture technicians, based on the Standard of Royal Society for Horticulture in the UK, which will motivate especially young people to continue this activity.
Schools of secondary education will be motivated for this purpose and small seminars will take place to inform the students for the challenge of climate change. The same roadmap will be followed for companies and present the concept not only as climate change action but also as an idea for team working, the same frame used in Europe, USA and Canada.
The results of the activity will form an implementation plan which will be disseminated to local authorities as a proposal for action in combination with pocket parks.
