Description
The project is aimed at increasing public awareness on the issues of international development cooperation and on the 17 Sustanaible Development Goals. This GCED (Global Citizenship Education) project addresses schools, public and private institutions and the 132,455 inhabitants of the 15 municipalities of Calatino (South West Sicily in the province of Catania) on the topics of inclusive green economy, with a focus on sustainable energy and waste management. In ancient Greece, the word Politeia expressed the interconnection between being a citizen and the need to participate in the organisation of the city and its functioning. Through training, educational workshops and public events, the project aims to make education for global citizenship and sustainable development a transversal tool, contributing to the creation of an organised territory, a common good of all citizens, key players in green, inclusive and sustainable development, in a word: Politeia. The projects objective is: To define and implement a territorial plan of global citizenship education for sustainable development (SDG 13.3), in collaboration with schools (SDG 4.7) and other stakeholders on the topics of energy (SDG 7) and waste management (SDG 12.8) in the municipalities of Caltagirone-Inner East Sicily. In relation to the needs identified in the territory by the various stakeholders (specific research was also carried out involving 263 teachers from 8 schools in Caltagirone) the project is articulated in the following 3 results and activities: R1: Increased knowledge and awareness of the staff of local authorities on IGE - Inclusive Green Economy (energy and waste) A1.1 Information and training of staff from municipalities involved on good waste management practices A1.2 Information and training of staff from municipalities involved on good sustainable energy practices A1.3 Distribution of a guidebook with material and good practices for small local authorities and co-planning workshop R2: Increased knowledge and awareness of students and teachers of schools in the area on IGE-Inclusive Green Economy (energy and waste). A2.1 Survey of students needs and participatory planning of interventions in schools A2.2 Training of trainers and teachers A2.3 Didactic workshops on waste A2.4 Didactic workshops on energy R3. Increased public awareness and involvement of civil society organisations on IGE-Inclusive Green Economy (energy and waste). A3.1 Networking and stakeholder engagement on Inclusive Green Economy issues A3.2 Detecting and tackling energy poverty A3.3 Training on climate change adaptation for migrants The activities foreseen will involve all the civil society of the project partner municipalities, with specific trainings addressed to public administration staff; teachers and students of the schools that will participate in the project; local CSOs, families and migrants present in the territory. The choice to intervene on a large scale of beneficiaries, with different needs and points of view, makes the project truly inclusive and participatory.
