<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to increase the capacities of green and sustainability oriented educational organisations in three partner countries: 1. by collecting good practices on green education during the study visit, 2. sharing know-how on green project management, 3. creating and testing a new educational program for adult learners, and building capacities of educators in using this program within their educational work with this target group.<< Implementation >>1.project management (PM) & dissemination; 2.study visit at educational (EDU) organizations to collect good practices on green EDU; 3.staff training on green PM; 4.creating EDUprogram for developing green competences of adult learners, used by educators working with this target group; 5.pilot training for educators of adult learners meant for collecting feedback on EDUprogram; 6.testing EDUprogram at national levels by previously trained educators as trainers & adult learners as participants.<< Results >>Project will result in raised capacities of partners in: 1.green EDU as good practices observed during the study visit will be incorporated in their realities; 2.green PM as they will learn about these procedures & will use them further on; 3.cooperating on international level within Erasmus+; other results are: 4.EDUprogram on developing green competences of adult learners to be multiplied by interested parties; & 5.trained educators in using this EDUprogram when working with adult learners.

DOORS will bring the four pillars of the SRIA into reality, turning the challenges into opportunities for a highly valued Black Sea. It will harmonise research and provide the infrastructure to better understand the Black Sea, particular ecosystem characteristics, develop the framework to support Blue Growth and early development of start-ups, and provide evidence to inform policy and behavioural change. To reach its ambitious objectives, the project team will work closely with stakeholders from the start to develop an open research system and establish a framework to support continuous stakeholder dialogue. DOORS will implement three Work Programmes: a System of Systems to harmonise approaches and provide an accessible data repository, a Blue Growth Accelerator to support enterprise, and Knowledge Transfer and Training to share best practice and build capacity. These will: • Engage stakeholders through communication, dissemination and training activities to raise awareness, build capacity and foster a stronger Black Sea identity • Harmonise data collation, analysis and access to optimise data use in decision and policy making • Strengthen the Black Sea scientific network through new collaborations, and bridge the gap between science and policy • Provide a range of products to support Black Sea innovation and enterprise DOORS will have long-lasting impact by giving stakeholders in the region the skillsets and understanding to: • Implement key policies and legislation • Improve environmental quality and reduce pollution risk • Design measures to mitigate pollution and remediate historically contaminated areas • Become resilient communities • Realise and sustainably develop potential economic growth for future well-being • Build capacity in existing industries, develop new start-ups and become actively involved in delivering Blue Growth • Create ocean informed citizens to better understand Black Sea’s potential

SHORE will be focusing on engaging & mobilizing students, teachers, and schools to implement the Mission Ocean objectives to increase ocean literacy with the help of community activities & cooperation projects. SHORE project will last 36 months and cover five different regional areas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean Sea, Danube & Rhine River Area) with its 14 consortium partners. It will set up Country Hubs to offer guidance for the educators and schools on Blue Curricula, develop and implement their projects and use open schooling methodologies. Contry Hubs will also promote community activities such as exhibitions, workshops, training, seminars, and meetNtalks to increase the awareness of ocean literacy among the society. SHORE will provide grants to 100 schools through three open call periods for proposals to support blue projects for a maximum amount of up to 10.000 euro per grant. Educational materials and trainings for educators will be available during th eprojec to increase their knowledge about sustainable and blue education. A digital platform will be set-up to monitor school projects, and provide a virtual learning environment system including rewards and badges. In addition, at the end of each school period, a public voting session will be held to raise awareness & engagement, create a wider audience and select the best school project which will receive the "Ocean Ambassador/Literate of the Year Award. An Ocean Literacy Action Center will be established within the YTU to coordinate public activities and bring researchers and public together to enhance ocean literacy during the project and thereafter.

<< Objectives >>Through the project realization we fill in the missing gap in the methodology and the way the knowledge is provided & transformed in competences in the long term on grassroot level. The project involves the creation, testing and implementation of Earth Competence Framework, Educational module and 4 innovative, co-created educational games, which will have local and panEuropean aspects included. This way created materials will be the legacy of the project and will “live” beyond its duration.<< Implementation >>We are going to implement various activities. We will have different focus groups and round table discussions with target groups in the scope of WPs, games testing on national and international levels, international TC and multiplier event in the form of a conference. Project also envisioned partners offline and online regular meetings. Dissemination and visibility activities with different tools will be another important part of our activities.<< Results >>We expect to have several thousand participants from various European & EECA countries involved in the Framework of Earth Competence creation process and this way we will mutually learn hence increase climate change & environmental awareness among European citizens. Having the innovative educational tools in hand, we will be able to involve numerous citizens in the process of developing their Earth competences.
