IMPACT
Training of trainers
In November 2023, Right Challenge organised a Training of Trainers for adult educators who are part of the project and outsiders. Organised by RightChallenge and supported by the project partners, the event brought together educators from across Europe to expand their expertise in promoting green activism and sustainability and to improve the course developed as part of the project.
Over three days, participants engaged with modules on climate change, environmental education and sustainable living. Visiting local attractions such as the Biodiversity Gallery and the Botanical Gardens of Porto, the adult educators gained valuable insights and experience to inspire change in their communities.

Our partners from Cyprus met Mrs Anna, a woman in her 70s who lives in Nicosia, during the pilot project at the Nicosia Multifunctional Centre. Mrs Anna told them about her favourite activity, visiting a gallery, getting to know paintings and artists and then painting and expressing herself.
As part of the project, our colleagues from Polygonal in Cori, Italy, have launched the initiative: “Learning a Healthy Lifestyle Across Generations: Understanding the origin of ingredients and thinking about food waste!” Watch this video and see how much fun they had!
