ADULT EDUCATION COOPERATION ASSOCIATION

Developing Empowered Sustainable Communities: Green LifeStyle, Cultural Heritage & Economy (DESC) is an Erasmus project that aims to promote the right of adults to access services necessary to avoid social exclusion. The project will focus on the learning needs of adults in order to accumulate useful experience, with the help of education experts who will guide them towards the use of digital learning tools.

Furthermore, it is intertwined with the “UN 2030 Global Goals for Sustainable Development” project, which is a priority in the European Union’s strategic agenda 2019-2024, to create a green, environmentally friendly and socially just Europe.

All this will serve to connect with Europe’s cultural heritage, climate change and its impact on the economy.
