The GenB project aims to educate and empower Generation Bioeconomy (GenB), which is informed, aware and interested in environmental issues, sustainability and circularity.
In particular, it seeks to:
- Co-create innovative approaches, materials and tools to provide educational and information tools on the bioeconomy through collaboration between children, young adults, parents, teachers and other representatives of formal and non-formal education,
- Raise awareness among pre-school, primary and secondary school students about the environmental, social and economic benefits of a sustainable and circular bioeconomy,
- Increase the interest of younger generations in education and training in life sciences, technology and the bioeconomy
- Empower young people to take an active role in order to accelerate the transition to more sustainable behaviours, consumption patterns and lifestyles.
GenB, which started in November 2022, is a 30-month project funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union's research and innovation funding programme.
The project is coordinated by the Agency for the Promotion of European Research (APRE) (Italy). In addition to the Hellenic Society for Nature Conservation, BTG (The Netherlands), LOBA (Portugal), PEDAL (Slovakia), EUN (Belgium), ZSI (Austria), AIJU (Spain), Q-PLAN (Greece), FVA (Italy) are participating in the project.
