The project “Glocalization in adult education” collects 4 partners in strategic partnership: LGD Dolina Raby, Fundacja Dzieła Kolpinga w Polsce, The Slovakia Kolping Society, Latvian Rural Forum. The main aim of the project: development of adult education solutions in glocalization challenges by cooperation between 4 organizations from 3 countries, exchange experience and best practices in strategic partnership. Main target group of the project- partners staff, adult education project coordinators, voluntaries of adult education projects and actions, coaches, trainers, members of boards responsible for adult education, representatives of NGO, net members, all person coming from project partners countries: Poland, Slovakia, Latvia.Planned project activities combine innovation and complementary activities. There will be 5 transnational partners meetings, in project partners caountries.Topic of international meetings: • Poland (LGD Dolina Raby)- Glocalization in community local life and education – community-led local development, local participation and consultation, adult education tools- presentation of good practices, methods, tools, projects, general principles of local adult education through glocalization • Slovakia (The Kolping Society in Slovakia)- Glocalization in local education, local culture patterns, local identity, personal development, local cooperation - presentation of good practices, methods, tools, projects, the general principles of adult personnel education through glocalization • Poland (FDK)- Glocalization in global education, global interdependence, global responsibility, explanation of global causes and consequences, explanation of individuals impact to the global processes and the impact of the global processes on individual people, breaking down existing social stereotypes and prejudices, presenting the perspective of the Global South and idea of “One World”, developing critical thinking and changing people attitudes, on-line global education tools - presentation of good practices, methods, tools, projects, general principles of global adults education • Latvia (LRF)- Multicultual education through glocalization, cultural differences understanding, multiculturalism, international cooperation - presentation of good practices, methods, on-line tools, projects, general principles of multicultural adults education • Poland (LGD Dolina Raby)- b) Glocalization- key to sustainable development and sustainable adult education- summarising TPM collecting all best practices and preparing recommendation list for the implementation of the idea of glocalization in adult education programs on local and international level It is assumed that in every meeting will be attended by three-four people from each country and host organisation, i.e. a total of 12-16 people will participate in a meeting. Around 40 mobilities and indirectly beneficiaries 500.

CIRCLEUP is a highly innovative endeavor that aims to increase the diffusion rate of circular practices at the micro level, as a vital step towards achieving a circular economy, optimizing material streams into and out of households and closing the loops wherever possible. It seeks to achieve goal by developing, testing, implementing, evaluating, disseminating an innovative behavioral intervention package consisting of consultation and information, gamification, and feedback approaches, supplemented by a technical solution to provide this intervention package. With this innovative behavioral approach, the project will shape social norms by promoting communication and encouraging participants to question the status quo. It will establish and foster the social identification of individuals as circular citizens, inviting them to engage in and organize group activities that reinforce sustainable social norms and discourage unsustainable habits. Project will leverage an innovative technology tool to stimulate and channel interactions, allowing participants to engage with people beyond their direct circle of neighbours or friends. By sharing circular stories and participating in group activities, participants will not only strengthen social bonds and satisfy the need for social connection and self-esteem. Interactive Learning Environments and simulation tools will support the transfer of insights and develop competencies for integrated analysis and model-based assessments of key sustainable consumption policy and practice topics. System dynamics mode-based tools will support scoping and appraisal of strategies and policies related to sustainable consumption. The success of this intervention package in 100 model households in four structurally and culturally different countries will demonstrate CIRCLEUP's potential to transform the way people consume, how they can benefit from the circular economy, and reduce social disparity, environmental footprints, GHG emissions.

Changes in rural areas, such as depopulation, land abandonment and the loss of biodiversity, may proceed very slowly yet are often irreversible. Policymakers can steer these developments in order to reduce their negative impacts but this requires knowing whether current policy instruments are effective, who is benefiting from them and in what measure, what driving forces will be most influential and how they will affect people, planet, profits and land-use. To be truly useful, this knowledge must transcend siloed thinking and be the corollary of a joint effort uniting different actors under a common cause. PoliRur will provide this knowledge by combining several key activities needed to design effective place-based, human-centric and forward-looking rural policies. These include actionable research that takes place within an inclusive learning environment where rural populations, researchers and policymakers come together to address common problems; an evaluation exercise that uses text mining to assess the perceived effectiveness of past or planned policy interventions; and a foresight study that tries to glean the development trajectory of agriculture and its allied sectors until 2040 using several scenarios in which the evolution of rural populations occupies a central place. As a result of these activities, PoliRur will leave decision makers at different levels of government better equipped to tackle existing and emerging rural challenges, rural populations more empowered and rural areas more resilient.

Urban food systems and ecosystems (UFSE) demand immediate action. CITIES2030 innovative approach have a great opportunity to attract the best researchers, entrepreneurs, civil society leaders, cities and all agents of the UFSE as well. The main goal of CITIES2030 is to create a future proof and effective UFSE via a connected structure centered in the citizen, built on trust, with partners encompassing the entire UFSE. CITIES2030 commit to work towards the transformation and restructuring of the way systems produce, transport and supply, recycle and reuse food in the 21st century. CITIES2030 vision is to connect short food supply chains, gathering cities and regions, consumers, strategic and complement industry partners, the civil society, promising start-ups and enterprises, innovators and visionary thinkers, leading universities and research across the vast diversity of disciplines addressing UFSE, including food science, social science and big data. CITIES2030 actively encourage the participation of citizens by delivering a trusted UFSE, moving consumers from being passive recipients to active engagement and motivated change agents. This objective is achieved via multiple tools delivered by CITIES2030 such as the CRFS Alliance, a community of practice supported by a digital platform, reaching all over Europe and beyond. This approach will enable policy developments, innovation actions within result-driven Labs, and enhancements on a pan-European scope with a global reach. Cities and regions will improve resilience and sustainability, and their leadership will create short food supply chain and ecosystems enabling local investments, trans-borders and transnational deployment. A blockchain-based data-driven UFSE management platform will secure intelligence and coordination actions by delivering an accurate, almost real-time digital twin of the whole supply chain, e.g. from production to waste management, but also on key enablers of resilience and sustainability.
