PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sustainable Cities’ Attitude (SUSCAT) was an 18-month Erasmus+ adult education mobility project focused on strengthening the skills of Mine Vaganti NGO staff in environmental education, sustainable urban development and non-formal education (NFE). The project aimed to improve staff capacity to design and implement urban environmental citizenship pathways for local and regional communities. Through training courses and job-shadowing activities, participants developed knowledge related to environmental management, sustainable cities and NFE methodologies. SUSCAT also supported organisational capacity-building by encouraging the exchange of good practices and strengthening cooperation with European organisations active in adult education and environmental sustainability.
