Accordingly, the Sustainability21 (SUS21) project, is a project that aims at promoting social and cultural sustainability in the field of adult education and civil society, in the framework of the SDGs, under six different topics:
Dimensions of Accessibility
Adult educations promoting sustainable development
Responsible consumption and production
L’importante e la salute – Health
Achieving gender equality and empowering women
The topics will be conducted by a consortium of six partners from Finland, Poland, Italy and Cyprus, which have worked with several topics of social and cultural sustainability, and have regocnised the need of clarifying the meaning and supporting the concrete performing of sustainability in the everyday European life.
This project is in close connection to the widely accepted and adopted concepts of life-long learning and continuous education. The importance of life-long learning is emphasized in the UN document Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015). It is stated that lifelong learning opportunities should be available for all people regardless of age, gender, home country or economic status. In addition, it is also stated that learners should acquire equivalent skills and knowledge to promote sustainability and that the teachers and educators should also have supplies and level of knowledge.
