SMART (WORK) ENVIRONMENT

The Smart (work) environment course is a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) course and it responds to the more and more emerging needs of companies to take concrete actions in regard to their Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER).

The course can be transformed in a KA1 course to train educators of different European countries on how to apply the format and the assessment techniques.

The training is based on a competence oriented learning approach. Through an experiential learning approach the course directly targets the employees’
mentality enhancing their competences of sustainable thinking and environmental awareness. Also, participants will be able to put in practice and develop specific personal, social and organisational competences.
