Calendar for Climate Change
Quid-Pro-Quo – Inter-generational Education to Ease Global Warming
Our climate is breaking down. Rising seas and extreme weather events are costing lives and putting tens of millions of people around the world at risk. The state of the climate and the health of our planet’s living systems are intimately linked, and changes in one will radically affect the other.
However, climate change also presents an opportunity to change the way we live so we improve things for us and the planet. Change is often the result of grassroots efforts and working together to lower our carbon footprints is no exception. People tend to think there is nothing they can do about climate change, or their small efforts do not really matter, however, experts suggest that neither one of those things are true. There is an urgent need to change people’s understanding of the climate change challenge that faces us all and present a positive, action focused narrative through social media and word-of-mouth.
Calendar for Climate Change represents a new educational intervention drawing on the tacit knowledge of older generations and the technical know-how of young digital natives and bringing the best of both the past and the present together to form a robust and accessible educational programme to raise climate change awareness. Calendar4Climate Change provides seniors with the opportunity to exchange their tacit knowledge with today’s digital native population in exchange for the technical know-how that the younger generations take for granted. While senior learners can help to address this need of younger learners for support and direction in their fight against climate change, young people can support senior learners through introducing them to new and emerging technology platforms, that can help them to prepare for and engage with the digital transition that is sweeping across European society.
Calendar4ClimateChange project partners are collaborating to develop the following project results. These are the core education products that we are developing in this project to support senior and young adult learners to address the climate crisis:
Calendar4ClimateChange is currently being developed and promoted by a team of 8 partner organisations from across Europe.
The Calendar for Climate Change resources are the main project result for the members of the general public of all ages. This project result comprises a combination of 12 low-tech resources and 12 high–tech resources that address climate change issues that are appropriate for each month of the year taking into consideration the climate change challenges that are pertinent for each month in each partner country. These digital resources are presented as QR Codes on a printed Calendar, which will stimulate inter-generational learning between senior learners and young people to tackle the climate crisis together. The Calendar and resourcesaddressthemesrelated to climate change, including:Transport,Energy Efficiency, Lighting, Recycling, Ecology,Water Conservation, Food Waste, Heating,Packaging, Travel,Consumption andConsumerism.Partners are developing24 resources that arespecific to each country; comprising(1) anintroductory video to present the conceptorissue being addressed; (2) a step-by-step guidethat demonstrates how to implement the low-tech or high-tech solution; (3) an example of thesolution in practice
The Calendar4Climate Change Project provides a bespoke in-service training programme to ensure that adult educators are fully trained to harness the potential of the Calendar for Climate Change suite of resources to raise climate change awareness and support digital natives and seniors to work together in a learning environment based on inter-generational exchange and mutual respect.
An online version of the Calendar4Climate Change resources and calendar is presented online through the C4CC Mobile App. This App also supports the development of digital skills of senior and young adult learners; and supports the intergenerational collaboration between these two groups.

Since the 90s we have been committed in women empowerment projects, fostering their further vocational training, labour market inclusion and self-employment or business creation.

We also have expertise in supporting businesses in niche markets such as the creative, cultural, and green sectors to develop sustainable business models.

Dante started its activity in 1991. At first, the only language we taught was Italian. However, the desire to progress was strong from the very beginning, so we soon expanded our offer to other foreign languages.

Also, we offer the possibility of organizing travels and foreign language trainings at universities abroad, which is the best way to explore countries you always wanted to visit and learn or improve your language skills.
We are a team of professionals with over 50 years of collective experiences in the fields of Education, System Rationalization, Information & Communications Technologies, Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation, Global Health Process – Life Sciences, Business Forensic Intervention, Youth Development & Motivation, and Resource Realignment with Goals and Objectives. Members of our Founding Team worked in three continents and collaborated with organizations and individuals from various countries. They also worked in the Equity Capital and Venture Capital fields through which they made significant contributions in the development of several businesses in various fields. They bring all these experiences to the support the identification of systemic problems and to the development and implementation of smart and sustainable solutions to difficult social problems.
Association for Education and Sustainable Development (AESD) is an educational centre whose main activities are delivering formal and informal adult education, building an organized system of consulting, information and training with a lifelong duration. One of the activities of the association is to analyse the needs of the region and to make a network of local centres of distance learning (education), easily accessed by the unfavoured zones. One of the key activities of the association is the on-going analysis of the needs of the region and the structuring and establishing of a network of local centres for distance learning. It pursues this strategy to ensure that quality education provision can be easily accessed in even the most disadvantaged areas. The association compliments the mainstream educational network offering more flexible, individually tailored and market-focussed courses for the lifelong learning of adults. One of the goals of the association is to give marginalized young adults access to lifelong learning and to provide job experience in order to help them obtain permanent, long-term employment. The city of Calarasi, where AESD is based, is one of the least developed regions of Romania.
SVEB are the national umbrella organization for continuing education. As a national umbrella organization, we have been committed to the interests of further education in Switzerland since 1951. Around 750 members rely on us as their interest group. Our members are private and state providers, associations, in-house training departments and individuals. In numerous national and European projects, we develop the basics of further education and pilot their implementation. Thanks to our involvement in research networks, we also take part in scientific discourse. In an interdisciplinary think tank, on the other hand, we develop future scenarios for further education ourselves. Our aim is also to act as a bridge to practice.
In this section of the website, we will present the project newsletters as they are made available. For other news and updates, feel free to find and follow us on Facebook!
