The project NGEnvironment contributed to the EU horizontal priorities of improving relevant and high-level basic and transversal competences of EU citizens. With its focus on adult education and under the perspective of lifelong learning, it aimed at capacitate new leaders for change engagement, improving entrepreneurial, foreign language and digital skills and fostering employability, socio-educational and professional development, through NGO action. Here NGEnvironment was very successful and offered different new learning modules and programmes for NGO leaders, staff members of NGOs and people who want to run an NGO in the future and act as Entrepreneurs. NGEnvironment was able to improve/extend the supply of high quality learning opportunities tailored to the needs of low-qualified adults so they acquire literacy and entrepreneurship skills, with the recognition of such skills.NGEnvironment was tailored for adult audiences, fostering social cohesion, boosting talent and taking their specific needs/concerns into account, and delivered novel learning approaches through a holistic, participative, motivational pedagogical process that improved key competences with a long term effect on European active citizenship for sustainability.Social inclusion was achieved in NGEnvironment with the trainings of new NGO leaders providing equal learning opportunities for all, despite their gender, religion, cultural background, age, etc. The project fostered social integration by creating jobs for socially segregated or low-skilled people.The primary target groups addressed by the NGEnvironment were: 1) adults citizens willing to become NGO leaders/entrepreneurs, 2) existing NGO staff who are to receive updated training in a perspective of lifelong learning, 3) existing NGO staff willing to share their expertise and to support the new leaders by participating in the immersion process.The material results of NGEnvironment were:- A research report about research conducted in each country to set the state-of-the-art, establish the general guidelines and which informed all development actions in the project. - Two training packages, a pedagogical one, directed at NGO mentors that will host new potential NGO leaders in the immersion programme, and one to specifically train adult new NGO leaders fostering a set of basic competences. So, NGEnvironment included a train-the-trainer concept with its modules and the learning modules for the final learners.- Online platform containing all relevant information of the project, hosting a repository for outputs, as well as the associated NGO observatory for showcasing best practice and role models. - An engagement toolkit including paper based, online and audiovisual communication channels assuring a valorisation framework and broad outreach of the project and motivating participation. - Instructive videos with NGOs best practice and social impacts to provide a cadre of role models or exemplars to support project valorisation.- A ‘survival guide for NGO Founding and Funding’ for new NGO leaders, as well as a layman report explaining the whole projects’ rationale, objectives, main conclusions and resulting case studies.- A policy paper providing recommandments to the EU and to policy makers with regard to the results of the project and changes in NGO and entrepreneurship policy as well as ideas for a course of action based on the experiences and lessons learned in NGEnvironment. A core issure of NGEnviroment is that a participatory society can only work when citizens are well informed, actively engaged in civic activity, and equipped with the skills of advocacy, debate, compromise, and leadership.
