SU-CCES! project aims to promote civic engagement within communities and create a sense of shared responsibility toward achieving sustainable development goals. The project is structured around three thematic pillars: (1) Sustainability, 2) Civic Action, 3)Crowdfunding. The project aims to raise awareness and promote sustainability within communities, focuses on empowering communities to take an active role in achieving sustainability goals and promotes the responsible use of civic crowdfunding.

In SU-CCES! three core activities are planned: A literature review with focus interviews on the role of civic crowdfunding in social engagement (WP2); 2) the development of pedagogical tools (WP3, WP4, WP5), i.e., the creation of educational materials, training programs, and gamification and 3) the implementation of the training programs and pedagogical tools (WP6), which involves testing and implementing the developed tools and programs in real-world settings (PreCamps and BondCamp).

The results of the SU-CESS! Project can be categorized into material and non-material. The first include reports on civic crowdfunding, teaching materials, gamification tools, methodology for crowdfunding workshops, and conducting pre and final BondCamps. Non-material outcomes involve increasing understanding of responsible crowdfunding for sustainability-focused civic projects, inspiring communities to take sustainable action, and enhancing knowledge and skills related to civic crowdfunding.
