Q'omer offers a second Sustainability workshop to Polish teachers at the University of Valencia Science Park

Q'omer is a technology-based social enterprise dedicated to agri-food development and innovation, and has offered from June 29th to July 4th a workshop to Polish teachers with the collaboration of the company EducaProjects in the framework of the Erasmus+ program

Q'omer, a company located in the University of Valencia Science Park, has developed from June 29th to July 4th a participatory and educational workshop in coordination with the company EducaProjects specialized in European mobility. This activity is part of the actions of social awareness and education for development developed by Q'omer and is also aligned with the strategic priorities of the Erasmus+ program and is linked to the Green Deal strategy at European level.

This second edition of the Sustainability Matters workshop has trained 10 teachers from an educational center in the Polish municipality of Sejny in the framework of an Erasmus+ mobility program, through which, in addition to getting to know the city of Valencia and its surroundings, they have been able to approach training content related to Sustainable Development.

The purpose of this training initiative is to acquire knowledge, experiences, identify good practices that can be transferred later to their educational center, instilling among teachers and students a greater environmental responsibility.

This second edition of the Sustainability Matters workshop has trained 10 teachers from an educational center in the Polish municipality of Sejny within the framework of an Erasmus+ mobility program, through which, in addition to getting to know the city of Valencia and its surroundings, they have been able to learn about training contents related to Sustainable Development

The course has had an essentially practical approach, where students have been provided with tools and methods to design their own small-scale initiatives that promote awareness about the environment, and the responsibility that we have, both individually and collectively, in relation to the care of the planet.

Q'omer develops this type of workshops from a human rights approach to sustainability. Concepts such as Circular Economy, Climate Change, Biodiversity, or also the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been addressed and developed directly in this practical workshop that applies social innovation tools to promote collaborative learning. This training, in addition to awakening interest in these issues, seeks to provide new tools and resources, share best practices and above all generate spaces for debate and reflection on issues of global interest.

This workshop is in addition to other actions developed by Q'omer to promote critical thinking on issues related to environmental social responsibility.
