On the 3rd of December 2021 adult learners, experts on sustainable development and civil society issues gathered in the beautiful capital of Finland, Helsinki, for the first workshop session “Getting closer with UN SDGs”.

To develop examples, tasks, and guidelines for inclusion in the project’s main output, an educational toolkit and web resource, an intensive amount of work (including group tasks, creative challenges, conversation exercises, innovative approaches developed by the target group, etc.) was done during the workshops. Additionally, a session of partner best practices exchange was organized as part of this event.
First part of the workshop session was dedicated to gathering and developing materials, examples, guidelines and methodology for educational toolkit “Civil society in building the green sustainable and digital future of the Nordic-Baltic region”.
