As part of the Cooperative Partnership Erasmus+ IDEA (Improved Employability through Circular Economy Education for Adults) project, the partners have designed a comprehensive set of educational materials and platforms to assist educators with training unemployed adults (45+).

The IDEA Guide, Interactive Toolkit and Practitioners Network aim to involve adult educators in experimenting with innovative methodologies and contents. 

The goal is to:

1. encourage circular economy learning and commitment through arts, crafts and Tinkering and NFE methodologies among unemployed adults;
2. boost participants' CVs and employability with an eye to the green transition.

The educational materials consist of the following:

• the IDEA Guide contains a selection of good practices, methodologies and workshops on the circular economy and business, green co-design and sustainable craftwork;
• the IDEA Interactive Toolkit consists of an accessible e-learning platform on the circular economy, together with exercises and educational activities and interactive materials designed by an audience of stakeholder operators and organisations in the field;
• the IDEA Practitioners Network is an online platform based on digital tools and a peer-to-peer approach to education. Through recycled art and plastic craftwork, it improves unemployed adults' levels of inclusion and employability.
