European Commission - Erasmus+

The Green Leadership Program (GREEN LEAP) seeks to meet the demand for sustainability driven by the European Green Deal and overcome the shortage of professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills in the complex field through training aspiring leaders in SMEs, startups, and European training institutions. The project takes a multidisciplinary, holistic approach, encompassing both technical green and essential soft skills like teamwork and leadership. This ensures effective collaboration and decision-making in the sustainability sphere. The project is motivated by the pressing need to address environmental challenges, such as climate change and resource depletion, and the transition of industry to sustainable practices. Thus, the aim is to bridge the growing workforce gap and provide training on green & rainbow washing, sustainability communication, SDG impact, collaborative action and teamwork, and resilience and complexity
