ABOUT THE PROJECT

NO GAP – New Opportunities in Gardening and Agriculture Professions supports trainers in green professions in teaching new learning content to their trainees in order to sensitize them to the consequences of climate change and to think about future climate adaptation strategies in their profession. This is intended to create awareness of the contribution green professions can make to overcoming the climate crisis. The trainees in various sustainability-related sectors learn skills that they can use later in their professional lives to make green spaces, gardens and farmland fit for climate change. The new curricula to be developed will enable the trainers of the organizations involved to add new skills and topics to their training activities.

In addition to the focus on climate adaptation, trainees are taught further skills in each module, which enable them to create the areas mentioned in such a way that they enable barrier-free access. This not only enables people with disabilities to use these green areas and gardens but, at the same time, creates a basis for these people to be able to actively work here. This generates better inclusion and promotes diversity in training, education and green jobs. If it is possible to open up the existing professions of gardening/landscaping and agriculture to more people with disabilities, this will lead to increased social inclusion.

The NO GAP project contributes to the fulfilment of several of the EU Sustainable Development Goals, namely:
