About the project

It is an Erasmus+ project in Adult Education section. Participating 6 Organizations from Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania and Albania.

In Europe, we currently use 16 tonnes of material (person/year), of which 6 become waste and only a limited part (36%) is recycled. On the other side, in a socio-economic period as delicate as the one we are experiencing (pandemic coivd19), self-esteem and the ability to reinvent yourself and find alternative solutions to problems is crucial, both for the personal sphere and for the working sphere. In this context, RecyclART project, and the 5 countries partnership, aims to develop a transnational programme for firstly developing and secondly exploiting ADULTS creativity for: – payback the environment and find new and alternative ways to transform waste in art pieces – upskilling long term unemployed adults by stimulating their self esteem and problem solving abilities through art.

For these reasons, the project focuses on the following priorities:

Skills development and inclusion through creativity and arts
Environmental and climate goals
Supporting the setting up of and access to upskilling pathways
