SOFT PROJECT


​At ZNI, we are honoured to be part of a new Erasmus+ partnership project that began on January 1, 2024, and will continue until the end of 2025. The primary objective of the project is to apply the principles of sustainable development to all stages of European mobility by raising awareness of eco-responsibility. This includes establishing an eco-responsible charter and a list of measurable actions aimed at enhancing the impact and environmental friendliness of European mobility. Faced with the challenges of sustainable development, we are committed to pushing boundaries and making our practices more responsible.
​
PROJECT PARTNERS

The project's leading partner is our long-term collaborator from France, Eurotracks. Combining mobility and sustainable development has been a priority for Eurotracks for several years. Other EU partners involved in the project are   AMT - AM Transnational (Spain),   IEP - Irish Education Partners (Ireland), and   IZI - EasyJob Bridge (Malta).

OBJECTIVES & OUTCOMES
​

The SOFT project aims to transform practices in organizing and hosting European mobilities at all stages by:
• Professionalizing the network of partners and companies, emphasizing the integration of sustainable development into their practices at all levels.
• Enhancing education for sustainable development not only at the individual level but also at the structural level.
• Providing enriching and responsible mobility experiences that can be recognized in the job market.


The project aims to apply the principles of sustainable development to all stages of European mobility by:
• Raising awareness on eco-responsibility.
• Establishing an eco-responsible charter and a list of measurable actions to enhance the impact and environmental friendliness of European mobility.
• Organizing a return-on-experience seminar and compiling experiences into a Europass document for the beneficiaries.


During the two-year project, the expected results are as follows:
• Increased awareness of eco-responsibility in Erasmus+ European mobility at all levels (adoption of more sustainable practices during mobility).
• Reduction of its carbon footprint.
• Strengthened cooperation between vocational training actors, partners, institutions, and other parties.
