Participants Explore Practical Ways to Apply Green Competences in Daily Work Practices

On 25 October, Wittenborg organised a Green4ADU workshop in Harderwijk. The event gathered around 30 participants and focused on promoting awareness of work-oriented green competences and encouraging reflection on how sustainability can be integrated into everyday professional settings.

Led by Wittenborg, Erasmus+ project Green4ADU aims to educate adults seeking to enhance their environmental skills and employability. The initiative includes the educational institutions Apostolina Tsaltampasi Kai Sia EE, SME (Greece), CEIPES ETS (Italy), Interchange Non-Profit gUG, NGO (Germany) and BB&R (Spain).

Through interactive discussions and group activities, attendees explored real-life environmental challenges, such as waste management, global warming and sustainable production. By the end of the session, participants shared insights and proposed small but meaningful actions aimed at embedding green practices into their daily work routines.

Erasmus+ Project Administrator & Researcher Jian Liu commented that he was very satisfied with the results. “I’m very pleased with how smoothly the workshop went. The collaboration between Dr Cha-Hsuan Liu, Dr Ali Ozdemir and Aynur Deliveli worked perfectly in engaging participants,” he said.

Liu added that he had the opportunity to have good exchanges with both trainers and participants about applying green competences in real workplaces. “It was great to hear how adult learners connected the discussions to their daily practices.”

Research & Education Administrator Aynur Deliveli, who facilitated the session, also highlighted the participants’ enthusiasm. “What stood out most to me was seeing the group actively connect the content to their own work experiences. It really highlighted the practical impact of the session,” she noted.

Deliveli underlined that the workshop’s hands-on approach was particularly effective. “I really enjoyed helping the team bring the content to life. Seeing participants actively engage and leave with practical takeaways made the whole experience very rewarding,” she said.
