Planning SEEDS: Advancing Sustainability and Local Economies in Perugia
From October 9 to 11, 2024, the Planning SEEDS Project concluded its three-day Learning Teaching Training Activity (LTTA) at the TAMAT headquarters in Perugia, Italy. The event focused on developing Solidarity Economy Districts (SEEDs) to promote social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Participants engaged in sessions aimed at fostering bottom-up innovation within the social economy. Trainers received a comprehensive manual to enhance their teaching capabilities in virtual and multimodal settings, with a particular emphasis on mediation interactions for skill acquisition. This training was designed to equip them with tools to adapt their methods to various learning environments.
Discussions also centered on developing Local Green Deals (LGDs) and promoting Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), aligning with the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy. These efforts highlight the importance of strengthening local food systems and applying circular economy principles.
Key outcomes of the LTTA included:
- Development of intergenerational learning methods.
- Assessment of training materials and tools.
- Policy recommendations for local administrations.
The event marked a significant step towards advancing a sustainable and inclusive economy, reinforcing the core principles of the Solidarity Economy Districts initiative.
