ABOUT THE PROJECT

TURNINGS AWARENESS INTO ACTION

EcoHeroes: Join the Plastic-Free Revolution (project number: 2025-1-IT02-KA210-ADU-000349513) is a European Small-scale Partnership in Adult Education funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (KA210-ADU). The project engages adults in tackling plastic and microplastic pollution by promoting sustainable behaviours through a practical, collaborative and digital approach, supporting the shift from awareness to concrete action.

Through hands-on activities such as eco-missions, workshops, clean-up initiatives and digital storytelling, EcoHeroes equips participants with practical tools while fostering green and digital competences. The partnership connects organisations from Italy, Bulgaria and Malta, strengthening transnational cooperation and encouraging participants to become active members of a European community committed to reducing plastic pollution.
