Descrizione del progetto
Preparare gli adulti di domani ad assumere il proprio ruolo in una bioeconomia circolare e sostenibile
Le giovani generazioni sono i motori chiave della bioeconomia: ecco perché è importante preparare oggi i bambini ad assumere il proprio ruolo nella bioeconomia circolare e sostenibile del futuro. Alla luce di tale premessa, il progetto GenB, finanziato dall’UE, coinvolgerà diversi altri progetti e iniziative dell’UE, con l’obiettivo generale di ispirare e incoraggiare i giovani e le future generazioni a manifestare una consapevolezza, una sensibilità e un interesse nei confronti delle questioni ambientali, della sostenibilità e della circolarità. In collaborazione con i giovani, i genitori e gli insegnanti, GenB produrrà kit di strumenti simili a risorse incentrati sulla bioeconomia e sui biosettori. Al fine di massimizzare gli impatti del progetto, GenB coinvolgerà la società in larga misura, creerà sinergie con altre iniziative e consoliderà il proprio modello educativo.
