Green4ADU On Track: Pilot Phase Set to Launch This Summer

Green4ADU — the Erasmus+ partnership helping adults upskill for tomorrow’s green jobs — has reached a major milestone. During its second Transnational Project Meeting (TPM), held online on 7 May 2025, the five-country consortium confirmed that the core e-learning content is complete, the platform is nearly ready for testing and a Europe-wide pilot will launch this summer.

E-learning modules ready for testing

A suite of online courses covering climate literacy, circular economy basics and green-sector job hunting has been finalised and will be uploaded to a dedicated platform in June.

Summer pilot across five countries

From July to September, each organisation will invite local participants to trial the courses, share feedback and earn a digital badge recognising the time they invest.

Hands-on workshops to follow

From October, the team will host practical sessions — think urban gardening, upcycling and nature-based mindfulness — to help learners apply new knowledge offline and build stronger community connections.

Running from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2026 under the Erasmus+ ‘Co-operation Partnerships in Adult Education’ action, Green4ADU is coordinated by Wittenborg with support from five specialist partners. Together, they aim to:

Raise environmental awareness and personal wellbeing
Bridge the skills gap in Europe’s fast-growing green labour market
Foster closer collaboration between adult-education providers and local authorities.

By the project’s end, the consortium will publish an open-access learning pathway, a toolkit for adult educators and a set of policy recommendations to make lifelong green learning the norm rather than the exception.

“In short, Green4ADU is planting the seeds for a more sustainable and inclusive future across Europe,” said Jian Liu, Erasmus+ Project Administrator and Researcher at Wittenborg.

Reflecting on the recent meeting, Liu added:

“The event was both positive and productive, showing that the project is progressing smoothly and on schedule. Despite being online, the meeting was focused, with a strong sense of collaboration and clear next steps.

"A highlight was seeing the e-learning modules take shape as accessible tools for adult learners. There’s real excitement for the pilot and workshops, which reflect our shared belief in the project’s impact — helping people build green skills and reconnect with their communities.

"Green4ADU is more than just curriculum development; it’s about creating meaningful opportunities. I’m especially looking forward to seeing the pilot bring our work to life this summer.”
