The GreenComp Initiative Takes a Significant Step Towards Advancing Sustainability Education with the Release of a New Informational Leaflet
The GreenComp project, supported by the European Commission, has officially launched a new informational leaflet aimed at promoting sustainability competencies in educational and training institutions across Europe. This document serves as a practical resource for educators, policymakers, and civil society organizations, providing clear guidance on how to integrate sustainability into curricula and training programs.
What is GreenComp?
GreenComp is an initiative supported by the European Commission designed to promote sustainability competencies in education. It provides a set of 12 key competencies grouped into four main areas, which are:
Embody sustainability values
Embrace complexity in sustainability
Envision sustainable futures
Act for sustainability
These competencies are designed to provide European citizens with the tools needed to navigate environmental, social, and economic issues, fostering a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Purpose of the Leaflet
The leaflet, now available in digital format, is primarily intended to inform and raise awareness about the GreenComp sustainability competencies. It also offers pedagogical guidance for integrating these principles into educational and training settings. The document has been carefully crafted to be a valuable tool for educators, policymakers, and civil society organizations, encouraging the integration of sustainability competencies into school curricula, vocational training, and lifelong learning programs.
