EURECA
The primary aim of EURECA Academy is to create urban ecology training with a focus on the learner, aiming to strengthen awareness of climate change and sustainability issues. Additionally, the initiative involves developing a tailored e-platform so these valuable contents are inclusive and widely accessible to the public. This training ensures that participants not only gain knowledge about basics of environment, ecology, and climate-friendly behaviors but also enables them to directly apply these principles in their daily lives and educational pursuits.
