Ever wondered how to make sustainability not just effective but also engaging? Dive into the world of gameful experiences and digital know-how with our interactive course that's all about equipping you with the practical tools to excel in the circular economy space. We're going to break down the principles of gamification and show you how to apply them to real-world environmental challenges. You'll learn how to design strategies that incentivize sustainable behavior, create digital platforms that track and encourage eco-friendly practices, and master innovative technologies that make going green a breeze for businesses and communities alike.

Think of this as your digital toolkit for making an impact that lasts. You'll become familiar with cutting-edge software and apps that are the secret weapons for circular economy champs. Plus, we'll walk you through a bunch of case studies, proving that these tools aren't just cool, but they actually work! By the end of this course, you'll be ready to gamify your way to a greener planet, boost the efficiency of waste reduction programs, and help shape a future where the economy and the environment can thrive together. So, let's gear up to play the most important game of all — saving our planet!

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. To meet these challenges, the European Union needs a new growth strategy that will transform it into a modern, resource efficient and competitive economy. Climate action is at the heart of the European Green Deal, an ambitious package of measures ranging from the ambitious reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, to investing in the latest research and innovation, and protecting Europe's natural environment. We use 8 gigatons of material every year in Europe. Most of these materials quickly turn into waste and less than 10% is reused or recycled. Extraction, processing, production and consumption of materials and products are responsible for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and a third globally.

The training course provides opportunities for young people to gain new knowledge about economics, design and business models, as well as using them to develop circular economy skills. The training promotes cross-sectoral cooperation by increasing the green skills of young people necessary for the transition to a circular economy.

Our aim is to equip low-skilled youth with circular economy skills through learning methods based on digital tools and gamification. Our objectives;

- Promoting entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and active citizenship of young people with circular and green skills

- Raising awareness for cyclical activities to become widespread in society

- Providing non-formal learning tools for youth operators to conduct circular economy trainings

- Increasing employment opportunities by equipping low-skilled youth with circular skills

- To produce innovative tools/materials based on digital and gamification for the acquisition of circular skills

- Encouraging youth organisations, businesses and universities to engage in more circular activities
