💼 What the programme involves
Rethink Social Cooperative concentrates its efforts on activities based on clear and well-defined objectives: - the support and reinforcement of sustainable development actions against climate change; - raising awareness on environmental, economical and social challenges within the local and broader community; - promoting diversity, inclusion and social awareness actions; - networking and developing common strategies with organisations and initiatives across Europe and beyond. Through our ESC project we want to promote the sharing of information and skills towards ecological transition and community coherence while supporting engagement in sustainable and regenerative practices with a strong and positive environmental impact. By actively promoting culture, arts and ecotourism using non formal educational tools, we believe that we can boost solidarity, self-sufficiency, green economy, multiculturality and community living.
