Green Enough: Educational program to raise ecological behaviour through an inclusive methodology using AR Technology

Green Enough: Educational program to raise ecological behaviour through an inclusive methodology using AR Technology

The Green Enough Project aims to raise ecological behaviour of adults and adolescents with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities by creating an adapted educational program for professionals working with them on a daily basis. The developed educational program will combine traditional methodologies (e.g., on site visits, seminars) with an innovative Augmented Reality application.

The participating professionals will be trained, assessed and certified in the educational program and the use of the application, aiming to raise awareness and promote positive ecological behaviour of their beneficiaries. Piloting activities will be organised so as to ensure quality of the training developed and the whole process is going to be adapted to European quality standards. The consortium of the Green Enough project consists of experienced organisations in the fields of service provision for persons with disabilities, environmental sustainability, innovative technological solutions and quality certification and will combine knowledge, exchange good practices and produce high quality deliverables to meet the goals of the project.

An important aspect of the Green Enough Project is the emphasis on autonomy and the development of daily living skills in an environmentally friendly manner. The development and use of Augmented Reality application will contribute greatly to this goal, as professionals will acquire the skills to educate their beneficiaries on independent eco-friendly daily living supported by an easily accessible and adapted app on their devices.
