Setting Up a GreenComb: Set of Canvases

This publication is part of a broader initiative aimed to introduce a systems approach to sustainability education: the "Green Hive" project, a cooperative partnership co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme. The project, presented in Chapter 1, aims to build a European Ecosystem for Sustainability Education (the Green Hive), composed of localised hubs for sustainability education established within Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, namely the Green Combs. Hence, by introducing and piloting a more holistic and network-based approach, as well as a new value model to align multiple and relevant stakeholders across the system, the Green Hive will connect VET providers, learners and local communities across Europe, enabling knowledge exchanges at the local and transnational level, anticipating skills needs and, ultimately, empowering individuals and organisations to cooperate to innovate and co-create value.

The canvases presented in this publication are a component of the “Toolkit for the setup and management of Green Combs” developed by the project consortium with VET providers in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Romania and Spain. The Toolkit also includes a how-to guide and a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to support education and training entities in setting up, managing and growing their hubs for sustainability education.

This publication has received funding from the European Commission under Grant Agreement number 2022-2-IE01-KA220-VET-000097215, Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership project "Green Hive".
