Objectives

This Erasmus+ project promotes environmental sustainability through sustainable horticulture, landscaping, and cemetery management. It fosters European values in cross-cultural collaboration and drives VET innovation by blending modern, sustainable, and digital practices. Benefiting participants and organisations, it supports climate action, social cohesion and VET modernisation, with green skills and cultural awareness lessons applicable across Europe for a modern, tolerant and green community.

Activities

We implement international mobilities for green skills and fight against climate change, for socio-cultural learning of common values and for innovative practices in vocational training and practical work. We implement virtual activities of flyer creation, glossary building and research to support cross-cultural exchange and intercultural communication and to optimise and spread dissemination across the project and beyond. Blended learning activities for teachers will improve future teaching.

Impact

We love to give more to the circle of life than we take: We - raise our students’ and everybody’s awareness for sustainable cemetery organisation and planting - broaden their tolerance and acceptance of all our European diversity in culture, religion and traditions - lead our communities around cemeteries to a future of mutual understanding and gratitude for shared experiences and common heritage. - COLLECT GRACE stands for the important role all green spaces play in our European environment.
