Subcategories

Good Practice Guides

The first output of the project is the collection of examples of good practice from each of the partner areas.  From these examples an indication can be drawn of what methods work best.

Modelling

Looking at different groups and structures to facilitate the organisation and management of projects.

Ethnographic Field Studies

The object of the Ethnographical studies is to deepen knowledge of the traditional knowledge and skills through interviews (conducted mainly by young people) of the holders of that knowledge (mainly older members of the community).

Project Delivery

This section proposes practical methods and tools for educational events/activities in the different areas of the project, as identified by the partners and target groups (young people, senior knowledge holders, local authorities and social partners).

Dissemination/Exploitation

A key objective of the project is to present the various options for planning and running Ecomanagment projects in other communities.  The documents and support materials on the website provide a toolkit to enable this to happen.
