A1 – Engagement Partners and Sustainable Villages Insights

A1 represents a pivotal Transnational Project Meeting that brings together all project partners in the natural setting of Azuébar.

This 1-day event serves as a platform for collaboratively identifying activities deeply rooted in rural environments, with a particular focus on their potential to contribute significantly to climate change mitigation.

A2 – Training on climate change and sustainability in rural areas (for adult trainers)

A2 introduces an innovative and inclusive training programme designed specifically for adult trainers in rural communities, with a focus on climate change, sustainability, and enhancing the well-being of elderly populations.

A2 engages trainers from 3 partner municipalities (Azuébar, Fontecchio, and Alte) in shedding light on some behaviours and lifestyles that are typical in rural areas and inherently contribute to the establishment of a more sustainable and resilient society.

TRAINING SEMINAR EXECUTION

A three-day, face-to-face seminar will be held. The seminar curriculum will encompass various interactive elements, workshops, participatory discussions, and field visits.

A3 – Designing Innovative Learning Spaces in Natural Environments Using Digital Tools (Participatory Process and Digital Maps)

A3 focuses on the design of innovative natural learning spaces.

This initiative, led by EPALTE in collaboration with local municipalities, aims to blend environmental education with digital engagement, establishing unique educational pathways in each village that highlight sustainable living practices and local biodiversity.

This achievement is made possible through the collaborative efforts of each village’s local municipalities, drawing upon their extensive knowledge of the respective territories.

PARTICIPATORY PROCESS

This phase is characterised by an inclusive approach, engaging both elderly and young community members alongside local stakeholders in the design of the pathways.

A4 – Sustainable Living Insights: Creating Multimedia Educational Resources

A4 pivots towards the hands-on production of multimedia educational content, capturing the essence of sustainable living through the lens of intergenerational wisdom and contemporary digital storytelling.

This activity harnesses the insights gathered from previous phases, particularly the sustainable living practices identified in A1 and interesting points and topics detected in A3, to create compelling narratives and visual content.

Young community members will work closely with the older generation, gathering stories, practices, and insights through interviews, conversations, and joint planning sessions.

They will create a Content Plan and start the production of diverse multimedia materials such as short films, digital stories, and interactive infographics.

A5 – Sustainable lifestyles Reflection Journey

In this interactive session, participants utilising the pathways will delve into the essence of sustainable living through engaging activities and thought-provoking questions.

Leveraging the educational pathways crafted in A3, along with themes identified in A1 and A2, and integrating audiovisual elements from A4, this activity aims to foster deep reflection and self-assessment regarding one’s lifestyle choices and their impact on the environment and society with an interactive quiz.

A6 - Implementation and Networking Event - Acting with the Itinerary at European Level

A6 is the main activity of the project and summarizes the work carried out in previous phases. Activity A6 involves the organization and execution of 3 national events, one in each participating country, organized by each local partner (Azuébar, Alte, and Fontecchio).

These events serve as key opportunities to test the sustainable tourism itineraries developed throughout the project.

PARTICIPANTS

• Local Residents: at least 20 residents from each community will participate in testing the first route within their village.
• Local Participants from Other Villages and Visitors: residents from other villages or tourists will join the event. This exchange between diverse rural areas enriches the experience.

A7 – Final International Meeting

The project will conclude with a final international meeting bringing together all partner organizations to collectively reflect on the experiences gained, identify similarities and differences observed during the pilot phase, and explore opportunities for improvement and expansion.

All organizations will share their experiences, lessons learned, and results achieved during the testing phase.
